From your point of you, yes, that's exactly the problem.

As I said, there is nothing offensive about noticing an attractive woman, I even admitted to doing it myself. But that doesn't, in any way, excuse the behaviour that motivated this discussion. That's my point. Even your bringing i

"Sneaking a peak at women's breasts" is fundamentally different than "presenting an app related to staring at women's tits at a tech conference to an audience of mixed gender and age, with widely varying sensibiliti

We are not evolutionary automatons, we can override our programming at will. If something that served an evolutionary purpose a million years ago is no longer an appropriate behavior in our complex, modern society, then we simple don't

I wonder if there's a business opportunity there: make it easy to own a personal domain name and use it with various other services. So instead of having to monkey with MX records for mail, you just say "I'm using provider X

by glesica 13y ago
When changing mail providers (I chose Fastmail) I made sure to pick a service that would let me use my own domain. I now "own" my email address, so in the future switching will be even easier. I suggest others do the same.

Only if the market is known to be unregulated. The problem is that the government, and companies that operate within financial markets, create the perception that the markets are regulated and fair. Markets have rules on competition, that&#

There's something vaguely "scammy" to be about the university logos being featured so prominently on the front page. My first thought was that it was being developed by a consortium of schools, but apparently it is considered

Nothing, but I think the implication is that it is a signal that can be used to predict which of the three categories the person falls into. People who fall into the third category (the desirable one) are likely to be able to implement merg

I wonder if general tests of written and verbal communication skills would show the same correlation. I often notice poor word choices, confusing sentence structure, and pretty obvious typos in many of the blog posts that show up on HN. Som

Wait, I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, because just about all those things that you mentioned actually do happen . You DO get evicted if you fail to pay rent. The hospital won't make the pacemaker stop working,

Write a Greasemonkey or Userstyles script to hide them. Problem solved. I do that kind of stuff all the time to fix busted "modern" web interfaces (low contrast text, insane amounts of padding, important interface elements that on

In the past (not sure about now) the Django docs (and thus, I have to assume, the devs) were somewhat against automated migrations. The rationale was that the developer should understand his or her data models and do migrations manually to

I think his complaint was more about feeling forced into creating a G+ profile, not about unified sign-on. The unified sign-on should be able to work just fine whether or not one has a G+ profile, just like it works whether or not one uses

Much more useful. I would point out, however, that many people have begun to wonder whether bad laws can truly be rectified through a democratic process at this point. I am of the opinion that we have, or will soon, hit a sort of tipping

> the whole concept of classified information breaks down pretty quickly if you start saying it's okay for people to exercise their own judgement and break the rules. Then let it break down! Information wants to be free and all that

It sounds like a totally reasonable definition to me. All you've done is to repeat over and over again that the definition is stupid, without identifying why it is stupid or how it could be improved. That's why you got downvoted

Yep, for those of us who can read, the point of the comment was that not everyone has as many options as programmers.

Believe me, I'd much rather use a standard packaging system for all languages. I'm not a Julia developer, so I don't have control over what they're doing. But ultimately, I need to be able to install packages in order to

I agree. The government has never proven to us that FISA works, therefore it should be shut down until such proof is forthcoming. Remember that FISA was designed to solve a problem: rogue intelligence agency actions. If it has solved that

I have been following Julia development for a while now (about a year and a half). It seems like it will be a great tool, but it is still VERY immature. The amount of breakage, especially with regards to important packages like plotting, ha

But why would you want that? The whole point of moving from <table> to <div> for layout was that using <table> wasn't semantic and was the wrong tool for the job. But <table> is the right tool for displaying t

I've seen this before, it was immensely helpful for moving from a multi-window workflow to a single window with tmux. The tmux docs themselves are a bit obtuse and don't do a very good job explaining the various concepts tmux uses

What really blows my mind is that elsewhere on HN today there was an article about asset forfeiture and police forcing a couple to turn over about $6k that was found in their car without ever even arresting or charging them. So why exactly

Where were the drugs? There was no solid evidence a crime had been committed. It is common for poorer people not to have bank accounts, which would explain the cash, and neither the cash nor the pipe are illegal. It doesn't matter one
