The design and added features look nice, but it's hard to believe they're charging $289 -- well over twice the price of the Paperwhite, which is a great e-reader itself. Makes me wonder if this is an artificially high price point

I use the same trick by blocking out my whole afternoon every day, and find that it works really well. It turns out that most meetings have no particular time that they need to be scheduled for, so this gives me maker schedule time and make

I think it's unfortunate that this is currently the top comment on this post. Someone puts hundreds of commits of work into a nifty language with a nice feature set (including compile-to-js) and awesome integrations, and this is what t

Very cool how this project uses the font face to explore how CSS rendering has evolved over time. I find it strangely beautiful when rendered in IE 6/7, almost like an alien language. http://yusugomori.com/projects&#x2F

I actually commute on the T every day. As _august pointed out, inbound/outbound switches at Park St, so it's not the best way to identify alerts going a single direction throughout the line. We are definitely trying to make the li

Yeah, this was the intention. As cliche as "X for Y" has become these days, I can see why it's such a popular format. Most people instantly get what MBTA Ninja is, based on a four word tagline.

Probably a fairly common case: I use git on a Linux VM running in a Mac OS X host machine, using an NFS synced folder to share files between the host and guest. It appears that in this case the guest machine uses the case insensitivity of t

It was amusing to see that the modern startup trick of creating a launch page or a broken link to gauge interest in an idea has actually been around for centuries: Publishers in the 17th and 18th centuries often sold books by “subscription

It appears that this HN post links to itself instead of the article (as of 11:12pm ET). What's going on here? Perhaps a server bug, or a mod mistake..?

This opinion is deeply disconcerting to me. I think our society needs to be very cautious in drawing the line between "acceptable" and "unacceptable" views. Plenty of people have views I disagree with, but which I still

What a poorly written article. It twice says that the plane "dropped/descended 1500m," when it should be written "dropped TO [an altitude of] 1500m." (assuming I'm understanding the article correctly). A newspa

Yes, he was saying "ore", which is an incredibly rude and amateur mistake. In English, that would be like be entering an important business meeting with a bank and saying, "Yo dude, wassup?"
