I think you're right that it's a less overt form of sexism, but I support what you're doing and I hope one day this clicks for Tim and he sees what a minor concession this is and what a positive thing it would be. I'm a Vim user myself, and

Well done you. It's about time somebody stood up for men brave enough to pitch improbable edge-case possibilities in order to anonymously undermine a woman reporting her experience of sexual harassment.

Are you talking about Tim Pope, whose work includes vim-foreplay, vim-scriptease, vim-eunuch, vim-speeddating, and hookup?

Not to mention the conspiracy theorist positing that it might have been a woman posting the fake porn pictures. The mental gymnastics some people will perform to avoid facing the obvious truth are amazing. How can we solve a problem we don'

Are there any high profile women in this industry who haven't been treated like shit in some way such as this? What a nasty bunch of people we are. Are we (developers) the douchey 80s guy of the 21st century?

An enormous screenshot of a browser window with the Network tab open in the bottom is hardly a sensible way of communicating the content of a few bytes of HTTP header. $ curl -I "http://www.reddit.com/" HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content

I'm planning to make the same switch at some point during 2013 and for similar reasons. Privacy erosion and aggressive upsell of proprietary software are not issues that I ever anticipated encountering as a Linux user.

Smells like a shitstorm brewing. I'd advise him to walk away from this one quietly. There's a real risk of invoking the wrath of Reddit's Internet Hate Machine on this issue. All it'll take is a few links to hit the front page and this coul

Has this dude really never looked at SMTP headers? He's proposing that we add "the meta Time information to the email construct". Emails already contain lots of time information about each step the email took in its journey to your inbox.

I think one of the common security issues strongly hinted at by this blog post is Rails' secret_token.rb security debacle[1]. Basically Rails has a file called secret_token.rb containing what should be a complete secret, but the default Ra

You're right, and I understand your point, but I would also like to add my voice to those pressuring Watsi for a PayPal alternative. Personally I had pressed "Fund Treatment" and was 100% committed to converting until PayPal loaded. I don't

This is great, I think this is going to come in pretty handy for an upcoming project at work. What a great method of job hunting, I hope it works out!

There is always the need for somebody to stand up as the opposing side to those who seek to build their business on abusive practices such as vendor lock-in or DRM. The FSF is that voice, and it's a more important role than ever. For exampl

Holy shit. Forbes is an absolute cesspool of a website. There are about three paragraphs of text, and then I have to pony up another ad impression by clicking through to the next page in order to keep reading. All the while, two enormous

Agreed. This is the second such story in recent memory, the first being the fake leak of the "Sony Nexus X" in late 2012[1]. At this point I can't remember the last "real" fake leak. To me this format all just seems like so much anonymous a

You need to take the bare minimum ten seconds or so to go into some actual detail in order for a comment like that to be useful. This is why you also have a reply from the creator prompting you for further detail. If you're really busy, at

Careful now! You wouldn't want to get caught thinking bad thoughts about HN and get hellbanned to the cornfield! Happy thoughts!

This is really weird. Everybody on HN appears to be praising this for the clever entrepreneurial idea. I'm kind of amazed that I'm apparently about to be the first person on here to call this out as a hugely misogynistic endeavour. Women sh

It must be quite easy to generate cheap melodrama such as this when you can use the front page of TechCrunch as a glorified "retweet" button.

The most common gotcha I encounter in Javascript has to do with callbacks. I see this problem all the time in my own code and that of my colleagues: callbacks that have been registered either more or less times than the author of the code e

He contributed to the RSS spec, Markdown, Creative Commons, fought SOPA, founded Reddit, and stuck it to the man. I challenge you to name ten people with comparable track records :)

That closing appeal to deal with the abusiveness of the php.internals list fell a little flat given the opening statement of "shut up". I loved Rasmus' answer to this though. http://news.php.net/php.internals/64771 > The vision

My gut reaction to this was negative. As much as I like GitHub, I sympathise a lot with Linus Torvalds' concerns about the way it encourages low-quality pull requests [1]. However, thinking back through my own experiences with the kind of m
