   I have a Clear4G mobile box sitting right here next to my keyboard. I have this as a backup since my TWC connection completely crapped out for 3 days and I work remote. While it is easy to install (walk to BestBuy and purchase, turn on) I'v

   But where is the author getting his internet service from? For instance, I live in Brooklyn, and the only reliable high-speed internet service is via Time Warner Cable. I currently get their WideBand service (50mbps down) bundled with basic

   I think this is a really cool idea, especially as I am a remote worker. However, why the focus on startup hackers? Why can't any coder/designer get involved regardless of their workplace? This would be great for freelancers and small agency

   Well, they did do random bag checks at random subway stops for a while. It was always half-assed and you were not compelled to let them search your bag, you could just turn around and walk a few blocks to the next stop where they were not c

   The Continental Terminal in LaGuardia is still using metal detectors and the TSA personnel there tend to keep the line moving pretty quickly, considering its a serious bottleneck.

   I've seen this same scenario in play many times in different airports. In some larger airports (IAH) they only have 1 body scanner but way more volume than it can handle, so they will have two other lines going through standard metal detect

   Since this is a PECL extension, and therefore compiled in C, I would love to see some performance information.

   I just switched from a 1st gen Palm Pre to my first iPhone 4S and I cannot agree more with this statement. webOS has a great UI, but it lost all the important battles (app ecosystem, quality hardware to run on, etc). iOS is now picking up a

    I have IPv6 and IPv4 through my ISP (TimeWarner) - but I have to explicitly tell Google that I want an IPv6 connection with the subdomain.

    Wow, like the IPv6 anf IPv4 breakdown along with ISP information. Wolfram would win, but as usual you can't scrape it with the SED tricks of earlier posts... or can you?

    I watched the season without knowing anything about the books and expected not to like it at all, as swords/sandals/fantasy isn't my thing. I was immediately hooked on the first episode and am now reading the first book. To be honest though

    Technical question: You're using goto in a do/while loop here : https://github.com/nddrylliog/jsmad/blob/master/src/decoder.... How are you pulling this off? I ask because while goto is a reserved word in JavaScript I didn't think it did

    That's a pretty lucid and well written account. I would like to know more about the connection between HackerNewsTips and Github though. Github employees have denied it here on HN.

    This is amazing stuff - thanks much! I made a slightly more readable HTML version (with linked TOC and back links) here -> http://bit.ly/lSLTVT This could be converted to an ePub I think, with the linked TOC. If this a problem let me

    You don't have to be raised on a farm to learn this. I was born and raised in a very large city and learned a lot of this stuff by having to work around the house to earn my allowance (mowing the lawn, painting the house, changing the oil i

    I've already made the switch to MacVim using Janus - https://github.com/carlhuda/janus but Vico could be interesting. The biggest win here, like with Sublime Text 2, is being able to split the window into panes, which is something I've wa

    I think you bring up a good point, and its also worth exploring why "race", "class" and "gender" are such hot button issues in tech. These are issues that many other very large companies (ex: I've worked for large financial corps in NYC t
