I can highly recommend "Accelerando". It's one of my all time favorite books. I've read it a half dozen times, and I'll probably read it again, just not right away. I also liked his Eschaton series, "Singularity Sky", and "Iron Sunrise". In

Having a great meter with perfect connectivity would not solve the fundamental problem; you need to record and analyze more than just your glucose measurements. You need to record your glucose measurements, your medications (date, time, dos

This seems like a rather unreliable way of protecting information on a laptop. I have a vague recollection of a program that uses Bluetooth to link a cell phone to a laptop. If the cell phone gets too far away from the laptop (if you walk a

I find it interesting that this article should show up the very same day I found out about TAILS - The Amnesiac Incognito Live System (" https://tails.boum.org/ ), a live Linux distribution that uses TOR and other tools to enhance your onli

I think that one of the most important arguments for using encryption everywhere that you reasonably can (emails, files stored online, etc) is that the government can no longer look at your stuff without your knowing about it. The authoriti

I frequently use Evernote's Clearly extension in the Chrome browser. I like Clearly better than Readability. Clearly both resizes the text, but also removes most of the ads. Sometimes it removes some images that belong with the content, but

When I ran into this problem, I ended up switching over to using the "datejs" library, located here " http://code.google.com/p/datejs/downloads/list . Date.js seems to handle Daylight Savings Time just fine; I don't know if it deals with Le

One fundamental problem with the idea of passphrases is that they are sometimes (often?) longer than is allowed by the website being accessed. One important website that I must access limits passwords to 10 characters, and forbids special c

What you could do is submit a post describing the website and why HN readers should be interested in it. Then immediately post a comment with a clickable link to the URL.

(Regular) Pascal was one of the first programming languages I learned (right after machine language and Algol). It's my favorite programming language of all the ones I've learned. It would be nice if Object Pascal could bring Pascal back in

If you are serious about thinking that Latin would be a good precursor to learning other languages, then I would recommend that you learn Scheme. Scheme is a dialect of Lisp, which was one of the first programming languages. Scheme was desi

This case does not set a bad precedent. Apple could probably buy the trademark using spare change they could find under their sofa cushions. Or they could come up with an alternative. It took me about 5 seconds to come up with something dif

I find it interesting (but not surprising) that California is making an effort to make voter registration easier, while many states (mostly Southern) continue to try to put obstacles in the way of many people (mostly African-American, or po

This was a serious question. My vision is not what it was when I was younger. I am finding more and more websites are very difficult for me to read, and this one was unreadable for me without the help of Evernote's Clearly extension. I am a

Can anyone tell me whether a website built with Ember.js's default settings suffers from the same readability problems with font and contrast? If so, that tells me that I probably won't want to invest any time in learning to use Ember.js.

TL;DR; This post would have been much more useful if the results had been displayed side by side in a table format. As it is currently presented, scrolling back and forth to compare the results is just too much effort.

Computer controlled knitting machines already exist. I doubt if it will take 28 more years before someone figures out how to connect a computer with design software up to a computer controlled knitting machine.

I've complained about this trend in the past, and it seems to be getting worse rather than better. I have the Evernote Clearly bookmarklet in my toolbar (it seems to work better than Readability) and I find myself using it more and more oft

I ran a website speed test on this page; it performed very poorly (load time more than 14 seconds). Personally, I'd rather see websites with real speed, rather than something pretty that just has the impression of speed. In my opinion, havi
