There was a little bit of facetiousness in there, sorry if it offended you. I haven't seen many +100 vote posts with "why" posts, so I was more thinking about the posts that have no comments, or at least none than really contribute anything

I find that it's pretty easy to determine what is on topic. I usually click through about 60% of the articles that make it to the front page, plus a few random new articles from time to time. 95% of the time, one makes the realization that

I totally agree. I currently am a student at a public university, although on the other side of the country, and this behavior in any of my classes would result in the teacher refusing to enroll a student in the class. You are older than 18

"After a transition period of about 10 years, this release disables SSH protocol 1 by default." I'm sad that this hadn't happened sooner, but I guess as they say, better late than never.

This is true they don't explicitly say that. Just like food doesn't explicitly say this is edible.

"We've got a really great suggestion for how to make such an assurance: Find a less abominable DRM policy." I don't see how Ubisoft isn't getting sued for this. Here, you can own this object, it and everything on it are yours. But, if we de

I'd focus really heavily on "stay immutable", "use recursion", and lambda functions. I think these things take a little effort to get used to, especially if you are stuck heavily in a certain programming paradigm as many Microsoft focused g

Yes, and I don't think anyone is hiding this. New Urbanism exists to turn areas which previously were only sparsely dense into much more populace areas. If you want your private property, you'll now have to move farther away from the curren

Windows 3.1 was the last time I can remember. Or maybe when Office originally came out?

What amazes me about this short is not that they satirically covered the news, but the amount of clips and actual people they were able to put together to make the segment really work.

Ya. I was also thinking of just coding it and submitting a patch...

I'm not sure if this is really an innovation. Trac has had something similar for years. Github is arguably doing it better, but in the source control world, this isn't that original. As for the API, I agree. Although I'm not sure how much m

iFixit wrote a great article behind maintaining your battery back in November, covers a lot of similar data as the two battling arguments on HN today. http://www.ifixit.com/blog/?p=1897

Adobe gets so much hate, in my mind, it is worth their time to fight all of the unsupported bs that is thrown their direction. I mean if you called my mother a whore everyday for 10 years to my face, at some point I would punch you. This is

I'm generally not a big fan of Spolsky's writing. He tends to read too much like a sales person, and too little like an engineer for me to enjoy his writing. This is a great read though, even if you already switched to git, because the two

This is awesome. I love it when I hear about companies supporting others, instead of trying to compete.

In the end, most of the big browsers are open-source, so I guess you could try submitting a patch, but I agree with most the answers here about performance, laziness, and the fact that users don't care.

Interesting. I really didn't know they had given most of this stuff back, besides webkit. Also didn't know that about CUPS, thanks.

Wow, totally read the title as GNU Map Reduce. This is an Nvidia CUDA implementation of Map Reduce, hence the GPU, not a project by the FSF for GNU or anything.

Could you put the code for Hacker News up on Github, so we could all help towards a better code base?

So excited. In twenty years, it'll be interesting to look back and see if this had any effect.

And, Yahoo Answers has some of the poorest questions and answers on the Internet. The only site that is worse is Experts Exchange.

I agree, it used to use frames, which was rather annoying. But if you don't need too many features, it works.

I'd be curious to know how you use the service. Most of the questions I see asked on it seem pretty poor and uninformative.

I must say the comments on this reddit thread amuse me more than most. Nothing like a guy with a good sense of humor.

ff 3.5 on a similar setup crashes. 3.6 was when ff made itself less vulnerable to this sort of thing, following webkit's and chrome's ideas on isolating plugins.

Nice to see, but in my mind this is just "Oh hey look at all of the FOSS software we are using but not providing back to." Sure they did do CUPS, but what else has apple given back to the open source community, besides another source mirror
