If anyone starts hula hooping at my office they will surely attract a lot of attention because it's just not something people do at work (YMMV) I didn't say she was asking for anything, I said her credibility is weakened by her re

"It handles large documents efficiently" - and plain text doesn't? That's just an insanely bad reason to use word. Vim can open, edit and "handle" very large documents with ease. A typical novel - even one by T

It's pretty odd for women to be hula hooping, I've never seen that, but Julia's reaction to is is bananas. How does that make her feel threatened? Can't she just ignore it, of course men are going to look, did the women

"even thinking about the price of paid streaming content is a waste of time" that sounds so arrogant and self important. You just wasted time writing a long meaningless comment on hn and that's somehow worth your time.

seriously??? My 12 year old daughter could spot a hyperlink from a hundred yards without the ugly underlining. She told me "it's obvious". Links are inferred by their placement, you click on google search results more than a

I totally disagree with his point of view. He could simply sell the game to an established company that is already set up to handle the responsibilities that come with running a business. Throwing away $50k/day is just a stupid thing t

that's a very misleading link. I prefered all of the before photos, the after shots have been through a competent mua for sure, but it's mainly horrible and gaudy photoshop that you're seeing. (despite their claim of no photo

I don't agree, people are more likely to come from python that to python from a language that has lazy list comprehensions. But regardless, using a language requires that you learn it and I doubt many people think list comp is lazy. Py

This is a real shame. Zite is fabulous and useful whereas flipboard is annoying. I long ago uninstalled flipboard because of the failed real world metaphor. I don't need my software apps trying to ape a dead technology of dead trees. Z

it's not a trick, it's obviously overlaying video against a google earth background - that's not trickery or cheating, the satellite has a limited FOV and limited bandwidth to tx the data.

Inaccurate for one and I'm not sure what your point is. You underestimate England and have a very recent view of history.

that's not the point - the difficulty of closing the laptop after a hard night of watching netflix is the first world problem. Do you really think anyone but a handful of geeks who watch too much tv care about this "problem"

by hnriot 13y ago
wow - 1st world problems :) It doesn't say much for the things people are watching if they are falling asleep watching them. Maybe a night or two without tv would be a good idea.

not most programming. For client side ui work maybe, but pretty much everything I do algorithmic efficiency is a big concern. It's this sort of attitude that gives java it's reputation for being slow and results in behemoth's
