Apparently NY Times is trying to enable blog comments better. Disqus should really contact them about being the backend software for this.

Ruby's lambda is worse than Python's. Can you elaborate on why you think Python's lambda is castrated?

I responded to you, but the sentiment I mention is here on HN in a bunch of places.

I'm not sure I agree. I've heard the sentiment that the network effect is unbeatable a few times. I think people are so hungry to take over CL's market that if you had a good product it shouldn't be so hard to get it well publicized. ESPECI

On this topic, it doesn't sit well with me that he mentions the explosion of change in the first 5,000 days as justification for whatever predictions he wants to make about the next. Using that logic, I could say all kinds of things about t

Hmm... This is a little misleading. It looks like they're using brain matter as a circuit, but not so much a conscious brain making decisions and having circuits interpret that. The researchers aim to get the robot to learn, by applying di

I agree that email should be made simpler but I don't think Xobni has done anything interesting yet. I am excited for what they'll come up with because the interface looked really neat and email definitely could be improved. If they took

It seems like it'd be irrational to take on Craigslist right now. They own the audience. The audience is what matters most. Anything you could do to try to take the audience, Craigslist could probably do too. But they start out with the au

I suspect the answer is similar to the same reason everything is compressed about as much as possible.

This might be true, but there is no reason it couldn't be done better. I'll offer up one advance it could make. I'd like to click on a map and see all available apartments near my click. People lie about what "Park Slope" means and it's a w

I assume you're using a tool to see when people make comments on your posts. Got a link for it? I had considered writing one just last night. Thanks for the link btw. This looks neat.

If big companies were sane, they'd use a little free-market competition with internal software projects and have 2 or 3 competitors for each piece of internal software. Projects would be paid in proportion to the number of users who actual

I agree. I'm not convinced that many editors are essential. I only use emacs... It seems to be written by someone just getting into the world of development and they're excited about it. Not particularly neat for us older hackers. AND, phpM

From what I can tell with recent times, if you make your site collapse repeatedly in a few months, TC will cover it again and you'll get more press coverage. Be sure to have the code working so you can fix the issue by releasing the exist

Honestly, I didn't know there was any Y Combinator hate... I suspect that particular attitude might be local to the start-up center of the US where Y Combinator is direct competition for the other residents. I'd like to say that I have lear

The point was made with my first post and then some confusion was found so I clarified. I see no harm in that...

Fair enough. In the interest of educating everyone: Tone is more like turning the bass and treble up or down on an equalizer. Contrast this with hearing an original version of a song and then someone else covering it and you'll have a good

Then, as I said, he's wrong. Tone and style have very clear meanings in the world of guitar and they are not the same.
