For me the link redirects to the front page of the Chrome Web Store, so I guess that's what's happening to you, too. But by entering "secure shell" in the search box I can view the screenshots, description and reviews of the app being discu

Nice! Just want to point out, this seems to be referring to the original APC, which is now called APC 8750, not the Paper. (They mention getting a case for it, while the Paper is new and comes in a case.) http://apc.io/products/8750a/

Was this using Unity? I found Unity unusably slow on my old netbook — 5 seconds to open Terminal wasn't too far off the mark. But Xfce was so snappy it made that thing useful again. I'm not disagreeing with your general point, but I wonder

I believe Google Earth's Windows download does the same thing: there is a checkbox to download Chrome as well and set it as the default browser, and it's checked by default. On the download page, not in the installer.

Thanks. Although it was closed (not surprising due to StackOverflow's policies), it happens that there are some great answers there.

I'd be interested to hear from anyone who's used both Backbone and Angular. I've been writing my first single-page app (yeah, yeah, behind the times) using Backbone, and at first it was really exciting and intuitive, but I'm starting to rea

Oh of course, it's far from trivial to switch to a new language. But if you're writing code you'll still be using in 10 years, the maintainability benefits of a safer language like Rust could be pretty huge. Also, Carmack switched from C to

Ok, that's true, and could potentially have the side effect that matches presented to women are more random (more noise in the data). Even then, it seems like the effect would be kinda weak, no? And no individual guy loses out, except possi

Since the algorithm is based on percentiles, if all women uniformly rate men lower than men rate women, how would it have any effect?

Nope, that's not private and not restricted. Essentially everyone in the world is invited and everyone in the world (even those who don't speak) can listen. In practice the number of participants is much larger; at a table you probably have

For that reason I think it would be very cool if there were a thorough tutorial for this language aimed at English speakers. We could begin to understand the difficulty that speakers of non-Latin languages face learning English-based progra

I'm a native English speaker, yet there were several words I knew the computer meaning of before I knew the normal meaning. For example: icon and palette. When people used the word "icon", but didn't mean the thing you click on to start a p

Do you have a link to the source for that? I'm curious to read. If your description is accurate, Rust[1] is exactly what he wants. I've been learning Rust recently (with a little help from [2]) and it does a ton of static code analysis, i

Yup. Male privilege exists and is real (and unfair), yet it is also true that gender norms can harm men. It's a shame so many folks act like the truth of one of those statements disproves the other. I guess the combined statement is too sub

Absolutely. This is a perfect example of how restrictive gender norms (or, what some might call "patriarchy") can harm men as well as women, and are something we all need to care about.

That Edmund Burke quote just spurred me to donate $X (where X=a substantial amount relative to my income) to Demand Progress in Aaron's memory. Thanks.

That discussion seems much more favorable to Aaron. The top comment's supportive, and even his detractors, like 'bstar77, are measured in their criticism: > I sincerely hope that he gets the punishment he deserves which should be a fir

You mean his death? To say that it bugs me would be an extreme understatement. Like many, I immediately felt devastated, even though I'd never met him. If you are referring to other stuff: What else happened in the last 3 days that bugs you

Thank you for sharing your personal struggle. Also, your restraint here is admirable. I regret that someone chose to reply in such a toxic manner, and am impressed you remained so polite regardless.

Yup, MN has that, but the more you complain and fight with a landlord, the more likely they nail you on some technicality, and there goes $100+ of your security deposit on move-out. Then, even if their claim is clearly bogus, a court victor

Does it have a social aspect? The pitch seems to be all "you ... your photos ... you decide ... your photos", with no mention of sharing. What I really have in mind is a way to share photos (follow, be followed, comment), not just upload th

Anger is one stage many will go through in the process of coping with such an immense loss. It may be irrational, but it's only human. Humans aren't logical all the time. Furthermore, on HN at least, your "we" seems to actually be "a vocal
