I don't see any information about how to run these stacks locally -- are they something I can run using virtualbox?

The included graph is an excellent example of graph distortion. One of the fun things about graphs is that they can be incredibly deceptive. This is one of those examples -- "Hey, let's make the bottom of the graph the normal percent, whate

I love these -- http://reddpics.com is similar, and I love seeing different takes on a client representations of reddit. I made http://imgist.com in the same vein -- it's a different take on making good image content easy to browse (on

Also consider light therapy -- a quick look at your profile indicates that you're in Seattle, and SAD sneaks up on you pretty quick this time of year. Now is when it's starting to hit hard. Although some people get it more than most, many p

Thank you for that deeply insightful comment -- growing up surrounded by a very Jew-positive culture, I never properly understood why Jews had been oppressed in a modern context in the first place.

Just because this article hyperbolises the effect of ads on "book culture" , doesn't mean it is in any way insightful or correct.

My takeaway from this is that next time I encounter a really challenging problem, I will close my eyes and imagine having a conversation with House, M.D. That's actually a really good takeaway.

This is such a great look into data-- I've long felt that consumer companies like Uber (and Google and Apple and so on...) have the strongest ability to explore the fabric of today's culture through their data, and it's sweet to see that Ub

That looked like a cool project, so here: https://github.com/gk777/Easy-List-Select Unfortunately, I don't think it's as good as I thought it would turn out to be, but it's definitely neat. EDIT: it's a chrome extension BTW

I think people regularly underestimate the inertial power of established technologies. Once something gets built into a technology stack, it becomes hard to change, even when you have complete control of your stack. When it is built into th

This post is interesting because it illuminates a formula that I hadn't been aware of. 1 - pick something HN already agrees with and then add some graphs. 2 - explain that the graphs are indicative of the concept that HN agrees with. Regres

I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned dynadot yet. They're amazing. Of the several registrars I've tried, they are by far the best.

Ironically, their website is not handling the load from HN (and anywhere else they're presently linked from), from what I can tell. I don't mean to complain - when you're so focused on other parts of your business, it's easy to let things l

Hilariously, the massive media frenzy surrounding the site outage will send the site enough traffic to DDOS it, even if LulzSec never meaningfully impacted it in the first place.

I don't disagree, but a little of both goes a long way. Having something people want is unhelpful if people don't know about it.

They were fairly different demographics- for the second one I did post a link to it from a small site I made that shared the demographic a tiny bit (ragecaptions.com), and that seeded it with like 100 visitors a day, but that was it. Also,

I don't usually play the part of armchair psychologist, but this essay appears to me to be an excellent example of projection. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projection_bias The author assumes that because he doesn't know what he's doing, o

I think this question smacks of elitism and in-group bias. For projects that require C, not knowing C is obviously a deal breaker. But most projects do not require C, and usually "understanding computers on a far deeper level" is much less
