Without all those advantages you listed, the price to pick a competitor for your next flight would likely be close to zero though. So they have to provide those running incentives . The cost of switching the phone provider for my next call

Spaghetti code is not necessarily the result of fast thinking... shallow is enough... fast or slow. However, fast thinking is necessary for playing out different versions of a solution inside one's head and generally for analyzing the suita

Someone who is able to think and talk at the same speed is either an impractically fast talker or an impractically slow thinker.

Whomever did, it's funny that it would appear to be against it from a cursory examination, what with using such derisive term, and yet the effect is probably just the reverse... (negative association) hence maybe even a supporter. Or propon

Ouch. My first negative. Comefrom could be usefull to implement aspect oriented semantics. Invisible asserts are also possible for debugging purposes, that don't pollute the codebase. They also don't self-document the code but (and I might

That article was published a year an a half ago and refers to declarations of a guy who's no longer the CEO of Seagate. I'm sure the "news" in news.ycombinator.com is not to be taken literally but come on!

Thank you for the tip. Never needed it so never knew about it. Dully committed to BrainDB.

Yes. About 10 seconds after first seeing the blank page. The trace looks healthy and ends ok. Pinging news.ycombinator.com directly drops nothing. HTTP apparently is where it chokes. Thank you for your interest. EDIT: telneting to tcp 80 ju

Please don't joke with this :) www.hackerne.ws get's me a blank page as well. The plot thickens (I know it points to the same IP). Hopefully, I won't have to google for HN with site:wikileaks.org to untangle this.

Most appreciated. Thank you. I feel a proverbial pink slip going to my ISP if they don't fix it soon. You don't mess with part of someone's lifestyle like that. Thank you for hosting my homepage.

Heh. I used to have that bit set. No biggie though. I wasn't using it that much I was just curious and mentioned it as potentially useful for someone wanting to restore my access. Having to access HN through VNC over SSH over lame ADSL is w

Nah, I think that article is posed wrong. They compare smoking the electronic cigs to not smoking at all. Of course not smoking is better. Much much better. But by blocking them from the market they are denying another use case. For people

Even if you're right and we'll soon see a 180 turn on Google's app, it will still leave a bad taste in many mouths due to the way they booted the other related apps from the store.

I don't think cell networks are dead meat. They will be, relatively soon, for anything but data carriage yes. But everything you want to get: voice, messaging, web, whatever else; you (and I) want it over the inet. They're (cell nets ops) p
