You say this as if people shouldn’t be able to resell information, as packaged in a disc. Does this extend to other things, would you want to prohibit used book sales for example, or cars from being resold? The ability to resell books didn’

Probably worth adding a 2018 to the title here and noting that clearly the acquisition of Workflow by Apple ended up as ‘shortcuts’ on iOS.

‘None of us on the team considered ourselves 3D artists, so we leaned on each other, the internet, and friends to help solve technical problems.’ You have money to burn on a vanity exercise using experienced programmers but don’t even bothe

Maybe a link to the actual bots in the page rather than to a tweet with a twitter list that doesn’t seem to work would be helpful to, you know, actually see what’s going on?

I used to cycle past it every day to go to school across the river. For all the suggestions about how bad it is the current flats on the site are, remarkably, much more ugly. Somewhere I have photographs of the site where I walked around it

While many of the points in the article have some truth to them many are misleading or outright avoid direct comparison. The most telling point however is at the end: ‘I have worked in the oil and gas sector as an economist in both private

I mean as a broke masters student with a graphic design degree this sounds like the kind of job I would actually enjoy doing, only I have no idea how one goes about finding such things. Is the real problem here the hiring process and where

At least the pound referred to a specific thing in its currency form (i.e. a pound of sterling silver) and technically it’s foot-pound and pound-foot for energy and torque, simple!

It’s just a hassle to switch things when you have a large number of people who have adopted it. Even the UK which is nominally metric hasn’t had the will to switch from miles to kilometres for road speeds and distances. The slow spread of g

It’s even more confusing than that. They use the British system prior to imperial standardisation, so one has both US customary and imperial units of inch etc measurements. Which is why volumes and amount of sub units are different between

Sorry but that’s absolutely rubbish. You shouldn’t have to wipe everything from a computer to have it usable, ever.

Just because counterfeit goods are sold doesn’t mean you have to sell them too. With all of these stories about Amazon it’s clear they care more about volume of goods sold and therefore amount of revenue generated and market share than they

And just below that: ‘It’s worth noting that Jonathan Hoefler, founder of the Hoefler&Co type foundry that designed and owns the Gotham font, says that the company has “never quoted a client anything close to a million dollars for anyth

As a user of tumblr since something like 2008 (oh no has it been that long) it wasn’t the removal of porn that ruined it for me, it was the collateral damage that came with it. For the month before it happened my feed was a list of all the

You got it. Plus the developers have access to more and more expensive lawyers than council planning departments so with enough pressure they can get it called in and do pretty much whatever they like. As in this case.

Why are electric road vehicles obviously the answer? For shorter trips to end users, fine, but we have something that’s great at moving heavy things long distances, they’re called trains. They don’t even need batteries to run, electrified t

It was recently republished as far as I know but yes, originals are hard to come by.

Incredibly expensive, solvent heavy and wouldn’t actually work either. You’d be better off burning the lot to produce electricity which is what increasingly happens.

I work for a farmer who makes apple juice of various varieties. He used to use raspberries that were ‘seconds’ which wouldn’t fit supermarket criteria for selling by themselves. He pressed and used them for juicing for one variety he made.

I don’t think he’s wrong. Apple and to an extent all tablet makers are treading somewhat uncertain ground here. As far as I can tell, people know what a tablet computer should look like but nobody really knows what a tablet computer should

Sheep. They’ve tried and sheep tend to eat all the saplings. Unlike in other places the sheep are not penned in, they’re free to roam which means any area you want to try and re-forest in a fairly hostile environment to begin with has to be

Instax square makes the most sense for a Hasselblad back in terms of film size, not only is it square it’s also only 2mm larger than it was designed for. The hardest part is as they say shaving off enough to have a coupling mechanism and ke

Me and a friend of mine made a prototype for one, using the internals of an impossible project phone ‘printer’. It takes standard 600 film. I had no idea that it would be the kind of thing hacker news would be interested in though.

The one thing they would have to add to get me to change is adding an option to cycle. Living in a city with reasonable bike facilities makes it particularly grating that the default is suggesting that I want to drive everywhere . I know i

Isn't the logical solution to this prefixing user urls with something like /u/ or /user/? Off the top of my head I can think of reddit doing this but I suppose for github the downside of this is it would break a hug

This is insane. I used okc years ago and met my partner on it but also had some rather unpleasant experiences with people who I would very much rather not know my (very uncommon and easy to google) name. A lot of people on okc are also in n

Arguably then it’s not for you. I’m someone who comes from a background of the visual arts and always found the monolithic seeming walls of text that most programs come in very daunting until I found things like Processing where you can do

To go with the comparison mentioned in the article though, Apple maps doesn’t even have an option to cycle at the moment. I never use it in London for just that reason. They’ve decided that it’s more important to add ride sharing as an opti
