Speaking of which, Burning Man tickets go on sale today at (quoting their email) "12PM (noon) PST", while converting timezones it turned out they actually mean midnight and not "noon" as in 12AM how I'm used to, is

Ah right, YOLO! Different people, different points of view, all valid of course :)

It is all about the legacy, we are all going to die anyway, anything that does not leave a mark will likewise disappear.

In this day and age, why isn't there an automated way to keep file history? (like Dropbox does, but locally and with a decent interface) I am looking for something like that for Linux and my (admittedly short) research didn't turn

Except I'm not an American English speaker. Anyhow, no "jerkishness" intended, this was mostly an observation after yesterday's thread "Where do you find the time for side projects?" https://news.yco

How is it different from something like "I don't buy a house I can't afford"?

You say this in jest, but I also don't understand how people chose to have a full-time job (even worse, a startup) AND kids (not judging anyone, I just do not understand it). There clearly aren't enough hours in a day to manage bo

How about ask@domain? It clearly states that you're open to answer any kind of question from customers and/or partners, and it's neither too formal (like sales@, support@, accounting@) nor hipster-casual (say, hello@, howdy@,

Waitaminute! Is this the same Valve who FIRED Jeri Ellsworth last year because Gabe didn't see any value in the VR/AR work she was doing, to the point that he just let her have the IP rights to her prototypes as she left?

.dev? is that a real thing already?

I'm the opposite, and I find this a fine example of 'doing things that don't scale'. It works, it shipped, in a weekend. The fancy stuff can wait.

Another amazing noise generator was featured here a few weeks ago and I've been using it ever since http://mynoise.net/ sadly, does not work on mobile either (somewhat on firefox for android which is too slow on my und

Forgive my ignorance, but what does a copywriter actually DO and how can this take so much of one's life?

So much truth! I've been keeping one myself for the past ten months and it helps immensely when switching between projects all the time. I don't use a blog or evernote but a set of scripts I made, it's an excellent use case f

I believe people would be less turned off if you showed them a glimpse of what's behind that wall, a pretty picture of a lake tells me NOTHING at all, even a screenshot (slightly blurred if you want) would go a long way towards letting

I use newsblur and filter out the names of the companies I do not care about from those feeds, it's still far from ideal but nobody has cracked personalized filtering yet (whoever does will have my money, if I don't end up doing i

As a "young" FPGA guy, I love his posts. Anyway any idea who the other group was? Cyrix?

Interesting! Plenty of room to grow considering it's iTunes-only and (anectodally) most people I know don't use iTunes... What music stores do you support? I've seen lastfm has 7digital, amazon, itunes and juno but I've

Thank you! I was thinking about the same thing during the hype and could not remember the name of the company.

Every time I read these stories I wish this would also be possible in Europe.

...and with well-connected, rich parents, of course. I was very surprised to read how involved these parents are in their precious snowflakes careers, at times it read as if they were still high-schoolers instead of functional adults! I gue

It sure must have been technically challenging, but it also feels like watching a 2013 version of Watching Grass Grow :) What could something like this be used for?

"What is the point of scrimping if you're going to spend your retirement years living like a bored domestic house husband/wife?" Who said that? This is hacker news, financial indipendence means being free to work full time on the projects t
