Just like tables for layout (CSS grids) came back a few years ago.

I think I understand what this is trying to say, but I believe the problem lies more in each person's narrow scope of control, not some blind drive towards efficiency or ignorance of total throughput.

The biggest issue with lobste.rs is that they hide some of the tag filtering features behind the invite-only membership. I can understand restricting the commenting and submission, but I have no desire to chase after an invitation just to g

A fourth possibility is that the growing user base has made HN a larger target for social media marketing.

It was snarky, and I expected the down votes. But, I think it needs to be said. Neither I, nor the OP, have enough information to make any conclusions. It is just a lot of observations, rumors, and opinions. I love speculating about everyth

A timeline would be an interesting feature to add to posts, but it might be difficult to prevent abuse, without adding up down voting on each timeline item.

This actually touches on Alan Kay's statements about programming with "what" instead of "how". It has made me seriously consider logic programming for the applications I write.

This is a good point. There are two definitions of "production ready": 1) Works for my application. 2) Won't get my head chopped off. The second is what most developers working inside a hierarchy really want. I am always torn

Having now gone through several cycles, I partially agree with your view on the tech side. But, I just do not believe things evolve at a slower pace in other fields. Especially the fields that have used computers to enhance their efforts. H

Do the engineering professions (civil, chemical, etc.) have the same issues? There are a lot of parallels between the type of work the programmers and engineers do. So, what is the difference?

That depends on what survives the transfer (i.e. memories, experiences, and/or trained personal responses). I think we can actually use existing sci-fi to explore the possibilities, ranging from nothing to everything surviving. Even Po

And how, with money polluting politics so badly, do you fight this type of situation? A public scandal. And how do you get a scandal? Wait for the inevitable government overreach and someone to leak it, the bigger the better. There are to m

I wonder what could be done to actually turn the project around. There are articles on HN almost everyday about small project management this and agile that. What might actually help this project?

From the end of the article: Based on our and Shimpi's tests, it seems entirely likely that Apple will be able to fix the issue in software, and I would be surprised to see OS X 10.8.5 or OS X 10.9 ship with the same issues.

I keep wondering if the advances in "flat design" are a side effect, coming more from the chance to rework existing interfaces, than the actual flatness. Like rewriting legacy code after you have a better understanding of how the

I've always thought that tipping was just a way for restaurants to lower both the wages and the advertised price of a meal. I would rather have a service fee, because, when you are not ordering a multi-course meal, I don't know wh

Also, it is good to mention, that to change the code/algorithm would require replacing the code on the peers accounting for 50% of the network's hashing power.

I think users have taken to flagging in response to users automatically up-voting stories related to the NSA scandal, and thus filling the front page with useless duplicate stories. So, now, HN has two problems.
