Small edit - I just realized " Mac App Store" could work as well, that's what I understand it's usually called.

Yay! Yep, it's back up. Thanks again! In case it's useful, some of the page resources were 503ing/404ing before: http://i.imgur.com/5JUyphf.png (the intermixed connection_refused errors are from my /etc

To mods: I flagged this to bring attention to the clickbait title: this is NOT referring to iOS. The post title here is the same as the article title but I would still recommend changing it, even if just to " macOS App Store".

Thanks for chasing it up! Would I be right in guessing that we're looking at a well-built security system responding to high page load? Saying the page doesn't exist in these types of situations is interesting. Users consider 404s

Welp. I didn't see your comment until now. I wonder if you'll see/get this reply. What do you mean by "design Smalltalk computers"? That sounds really interesting. Do you mean you configure them to autoboot Linux in

I'm all for keeping HN high quality - I hope it never loses its focus on technical discussion, regardless of how much userbase influx there may be from other online communities. But this kind of thing perfectly matches the calibre of H

I just tried the two-year old 3.4-dev copy of NetSurf I had buried on this computer, and was able to login to Gmail's Basic HTML.

I've wanted to play around with some similar ideas for a while too, actually. I have a few loose high-level ideas - I know I want it to feel like an app, but I want to use plain JS; I want to leverage everything modern browsers can sup

Very interesting. I would suggest swapping the current structural aesthetic of "come in and look around" for the somewhat more widespread approach of having one or more calls to action and making the homepage fully sketch out the

That would be interesting to hear more about. AFAIK all sound drivers in Windows accepted standard PCM data.

Except processes can't use >4GB virtual memory. But wait. This could actually work out really well for Chrome, since it's multiprocess, and each process will likely consume <4GB. That is really cool. I've been wondering

No, I've vaguely heard of it though. To clarify, the centerpoint of what I was describing above was that VR would provide the ability to repeatedly watch a car approach from a distance and learn what speed it was going at at the same t

I'm not up to scratch on the history of this, but systemd is coming from the Freedesktop.org camp, which also game us GNOME 3 aka Unity. This group seems to have the biggest case of ivory-tower syndrome in all of OSS. :( The infuriatin

Wow. That was a bit of an education. Thanks for the information.

An alternative I thought of the other day while watching one of the hundreds of YouTube videos of this was to simply batch-dial thousands of numbers all at once then randomly route them to each other. For bonus points, record everything and

I see. I've seen a couple people recommend it now, I'll have to give it a look at some point. I've heard it consumes a lot of memory which may be a problem though (this laptop only has 2GB RAM).

I'm curious why this has been voted down.

Welp! Thanks for the clarification. (A version with actual real money could be interesting, although the caveats and ramifications do pile up at an alarming rate. But Bitcoin was bold and daring when it started...)

Here's an odd, tiny, somewhat controversial/dangerous-sounding yet possibly interesting idea I thought of a little while ago that you might like to play with: a road-crossing simulator/trainer (and related concept areas). My

How did your software work, what techniques was it using, and what was the surrounding context relating to the data that was fed in and the output the model gave? There might be some interesting things that can be learned from this kind of

Ohh. That part I didn't actually get. That's actual money. I apologize: I... I thought this was a concept, with the "money" being abstract. I'm kind of more impressed now (although slightly stunned - but not in a

This is really cool. I have to admit that I don't like the login-via-Facebook thing though - I don't have an FB account. So I can't play with it. Something to possibly keep in mind.

That was an awesome article to read, but it's missing one thing: examples of their work! Is there anywhere online that presents an overview of their arguments and theories?
