The output of "man ssh_config" is popular here lately isn't it? It was on the front page in a different guise only four days ago. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4677049

The question about whether he had any failures he wanted to talk about was pretty cool. He said he might like to be a bit of a nicer guy and be less of an angry jerk sometimes, but it's just not within him and he just is the way he is. That

Someone asked him what he did with the millenium prize money. He explained that it was actually quite a lot of money and apart from paying taxes on it he's pretty much sitting on it. His explanation was that he doesn't care much about money

I love this guy's balanced approach to steering the kernel. Somebody asked whether a bunch of security-related patches would be getting into Linus' tree, and his response was great. Basically, he spent a few minutes explaining how security

Good old HN, where a building a website with Twitter Bootstrap on Heroku's free tier makes you a startup founder, and learning to use one the oldest and most basic features of one of the simplest packages in your operating system makes you

I like the sentiment, but I'm not a fan of linguistic prescriptivism. Words mean what they mean, not what the dictionary says they mean.

A few developers I've known have made the case that they just don't see text editing speed as the bottleneck in their day-to-day work. They're perfectly happy with the speed at which they can edit text and that's fine. What gets to me a bit

What is this doing on the front page of HN? It isn't news, it isn't interesting technical content, and it isn't relevant to the tech business or startups. It's literally just a funny picture. I love me some funny pictures, but not on Hacker

It is really getting quite silly at this point. People keep building Bitcoin infrastructure in regular data centres as if that's perfectly sufficient. Check out this article about security at a Visa data centre: http://www.usatoday.com/tec

Negativity appears to be the default response to bold new things on HN. Ironic really, for a site run by an incubator for bold new things. Personally I'm liking Tent a lot. It appears to be the exact social networking application I've occas

You could set your watch by the HN response to a story like this. Pure doom, gloom and naysaying. Smartphones these days live and die by their app ecosystem. I would love to be working on mobile apps, but for the expense of buying an iPho

How to market on HN: - Write an interesting blog post and post it to HN - Include a link to something you're selling somewhere near the end of the post There are so many people doing this it's unreal.

This paper is two years old. Presumably if anything was going to come of this idea, it would have happened by now. What's the point of posting such an old PDF as it were new? To a site with the word "News" in its name? It's interesting, yes

This is in a small Welsh village. If they haven't thoroughly checked for adequate signal strength in the places they installed these, this might be a PR disaster.

I wish more developers treated learning to program like learning a foreign language. When you're learning a foreign language, your #1 goal is to cast off any poor grammar or pronunciation and sound like an intelligent native speaker. It's b

I get what you're saying, but my point is this: This hack happened because Bitcoinica doesn't own the bare metal servers on which the money is hosted. The break in was possible because somebody abused Rackspace's password reset functionalit

You're right, but you're talking about application security, not the security of the infrastructure itself. For most endeavours, it's enough to have a securely written app hosted in an average data centre. When you're looking after currency

These bitcoin hacks have amazed me every single time. The old-school financial industry goes to extreme lengths in order to protect the money it's in charge of. Physical money is stored securely and guarded. IT infrastructure is carefully g
