There is a constant complaint that HN is turning into Reddit. But, after looking at snapshots of the frontpage from five years ago, I realized, only the names have changed. So, the change must be experiential. (The same can be said of music

While I like the ideas (and I liked them even more the first time I read 4HWW), the real lesson I gained from my first, and second, attempt at lifestyle design is: either succeed alone or find better friends. Nothing kills enthusiasm and mo

I would point out the tactics concerning the targeted application of protests (time and location), targeted third-party vote syphoning, and traditional hyper-local "get out the vote" programs. But, I have been down-voted for my op

This reminds me of a scene from The Diamond Age where a child read animated characters instead of static letters and words. While you could switch to the old style, the animated ones were easier to distinguish, and so preferred by him.

I've settled on ShiftIt [1], which gives me more partial desktop control at a good price (free). There was a good post, a while ago, on the various options for OSX [2]. I've also noticed that, because I use a widescreen and split

You have a good point, but keep in mind that everyone has biases towards different forms of communication. Some value written commendations, money, or non-monetary gifts. A manager/team lead must straddle both communicating effectively

A new display server does not differentiate an OS in anyway that would remotely make money. It is more likely they tried to use a technical solution to solve a non-technical problem (display server consensus on an old architecture).

This looks like it is just crawling HN, and using Algolia to provide a search over that data. What exactly are you hacking?

I still don't understand how a rally will do anything beyond making the news. The effort might be better spent identifying specific senators, and representatives, and encouraging people to vote them out of office through campaigning.

That depends on what they consider "fake". It looks like "Operation Clean Turf" only considered reputation management companies.

I've always found Scribblenauts to be a guessing game, like the text adventure games of old. You have to find the correct word to use that the machine understands. At least in an IRL role playing game you can discuss what you are talki

Yes. The timer was set to 47 mins for you to attempt your pure CSS layout, and would count down to your inevitable failure. Someone also built an opposing "Use CSS" timer, but I cannot find that one.

It still burns that HTML Tables had this simple layout issue almost solved. CSS v1 could have just codified that behavior, and worked on improving it later. This is just emphasized by the "holy grail" example of the 3 column layou

The per-tip voting makes sense. The three options for voting is also sensible and would be necessary for doing user matching or comparison, I just think the numbers would be better expressed, on the page, as a single average per tip. And, a
