Unless the authors of the software behind HN make up a large portion of its comment contributors, I don't see the relevance.

I like to see good articles reposted — even though the site's name contains the word "News", I feel like the site would clearly be less good if it only took submissions of articles that were less than a week old. But, yes, th

A problem with this algorithm is that it's pretty slow. It would be hard to use it for real time scaling. Even if it's too slow for realtime on today's hardware, I'd love to see some prerendered sample videos.

I never want to see a Microsoft monopoly over "desktop computing" (hah, what an aged term!) again, but I'd definitely like to see their talent get to assert itself further than it currently is able to. Microsoft started as a

It would be a better comparison in some ways, you're right. Still, when I've picked up a 13" MBA, it's felt more similar to an 11" MBA than a 13" MBP to me, in large part I think because of the difference in th

I bought a 13" MBP to replace my 11" MBA because I was tired of waiting for retina and the size/weight difference seemed negligible. Regretted it within a couple of days of just using it around the house. On a purely numbers

I'd think that very often by the time things have gone wrong, it's too late to prevent the crash even with perfect intelligence. Unless perhaps you have the system take back over so often that it's more frustrating to manuall

It's generally a fine backup against single-drive catastrophic hardware failure, but not against any other failure type: i.e. file system corruption, accidental file deletion/overwriting, destructive malware, etc.

It was over five years between the iPod and the iPhone's introduction, then another three between the iPhone and the iPad. Apple's R&D spending has been ramping up sharply over the last few years (see figures posted in another

A Wi-Fi indicator is pretty useless for most users to detect malware infection because there's so much else that might be using the network at any given moment on a modern system. Likewise, I can't remember the last time I neede

There are tons of blind and vision-impaired users using iOS 7 and a quick web search shows articles praising the improvements for those users. No doubt there are vision-impaired users who don't like it, too, but it's silly to make

Everything I've ever heard, including in this thread, says that iOS and its apps are still way ahead of Android and its apps in accessibility. I'm not very personally familiar with the accessibility on either so I can't say,

Just fyi: I believe [make sure this is right before you do it!] you should be able to subscribe to iTunes Match ($25/year), delete the songs from your computer, then redownload them in the DRM-free format. Not free, but probably chea

What if it's a batch ETL process where there is no "user" to tell that it went wrong? The point that when you're worrying about string length, it's often an indicator of a separate problem is a good one. But some th

Sorry, but I think this is just Google Maps. Sitting here in the USA, typing "vidyarthi bhavan" into maps.google.com takes me to the one in Gandhi Bazar, too. Maybe because it has 155 reviews?

Is it? I'm not saying "dissident" is the best word, but it certainly seems less value-laden than "traitor".

I've always expected they would start to serialize open tabs to the flash storage to keep from having to reload them from the network. Seems (to me) like that'd be easy to do.

They went out of their way to point out that this is a "going forward" thing, too — system software on Apple devices is free. I assume Windows 9 isn't gonna be.
