I wouldn't say that was brown exactly, but I know exactly what you mean with big ecommerce platforms and all kinds of other vertical-market software. It can take months or even years to learn all of the tricks. That being said, it is

I too had always felt that sysinternals was a champion of Microsoft and Windows. Perhaps there were some politics going on that only Microsoft employees would know? Every system has pros and cons and learning how to work with those constrai

It seems to me the curse of any company or project that begins with controversy or edginess as a cornerstone of their image. It's easy to have a f--- it all attitude when there's nothing on the line. As the company grows, people&

I was curious about the diagnostic code mentioned * # 0 * # I tried it and the phone did seem to go into some diagnostic mode and showed "please wait" for about 5 seconds, then just stopped with "Unknown Error" Sad.

Usually when I start getting a ton of kernel panics, I suspect hardware - bad memory or hard drive. Just had an iMac doing that last month and it was indeed the hard drive. Anecdotal information is not particularly helpful but I have had a

People with children are of course telling you that you are naive but I think your point of view is just as valid as anybody else's. If you have a very low overhead, and don't develop a taste for expensive things then you can live

Really cool! It would be awesome to be able to save as a permalink and be able to share.

I'd like to say that I come for the content/community and the design doesn't matter. Obviously HN is not really known for it's cutting-edge design. But I have to agree that MetaFilter just has a very old, dusty look to

I know both Woody Allen and Larry David have used that line. I doubt either of them were the original, but still it's a good line!

I would only want to start with an opening price if I was fairly certain what the offer range would be. Without that info you may just hard-bargain yourself a lower salary. If you ask for something that is totally out of line with the exp

It seems like it would be easy for Apple to add a confirmation like "Open in App Store?" Just like clicking on a phone number and have a confirmation before it starts dialing. Perhaps it's advantageous for Apple to keep it a

You could also wind up at a job where your personality and views are appreciated and you don't have to hide your true feelings from anybody. I realize the point is about invasion of privacy, but there are places that are looking for n

I can't believe that Apple isn't blocking the ability for the browser to auto-open the app store. It's the absolute worst advertising experience imaginable because it actually closes the browser to open the app store. My resp

Looking at the "about us" page the company has 8 employees. Six of them seem to be either executive level or skilled technical employees who possibly would earn similar salaries anyway. Then there's two that seem, from the

Agreed - fantastic news for PHP in general. As far as Wordpress, in my experience the number of db queries is really a bigger problem than the PHP processing. A factory-default install with no plugins runs 30 queries on every home page loa

I'm not expressing any opinion on the death penalty itself but I found it odd that his execution was "botched." The crime he was convicted of committing 15 years ago was a "botched" murder where the gun malfunctione

An option not listed here is that I think I have bursts of massive productivity that last a few days to a week where I get intensely productive work done with barely a break to eat. 12, 16 hours per day. Then I go a week or so just doing

I feel like there is this vibe out there that if you don't use emacs then you're some kind of inferior developer who has to rely on tools to do his/her work. That perpetuates a myth that everybody of significance is using it

There is a touch of irony in being inclusive. You can't allow people who have exclusive views into your group!

I agree 100% this is the right way to do it. And it's really not any more difficult to implement. The problem is the convenience tradeoff. Take a site that has an instant green/red indicator that a username is already taken.

Dismissing things as garbage when they clearly are not - that's just the other side of the same coin. It can equally cloud your vision for choosing the right tool for the job.

Not saying it was a good reason. Just that they did address the question.

I agree 100% for duplication questions. I don't have a problem with the asker getting a little spanking if they didn't bother to do any research or put in any effort whatsoever. As for "simple" questions, to me it seems

There is nothing more infuriating when you have (what you feel is) a good question that gets unceremoniously shut down. I do sometimes think they are throwing out the baby with the bathwater at times. But it's a pretty undeniable sour

They mentioned something about it on the thread that they were transitioning to a new system - plus the fact that nobody saw it as a vulnerability. I guess that's the reason

I haven't really lost my trust in Coinbase due to this issue but I do find it annoying the way they are handling it so far. Almost any site that has a password reset can be used to verify whether an email account exists in that system

The truth is that overwhelming majority of businesses fail. Entrepreneurs are not usually excited to brag about their failures publicly so we mostly see the hopeful beginning of all these ventures and not the sad, quiet ending. Though you

"change to social norms will require integration" Sorry, but how about trying to relax a little bit and simply ask your manager if it's cool to wear headphones?
