I agree, not only because they're terrible overall, but because one result of the fact that we haven't been quick to forgive GoDaddy is that Nintendo, Sony, and EA have quietly removed themselves from the SOPA supporter list as well. http:

I ran into a big problem with timezones when I was in the Navy. I was in charge of a big supply database server on an aircraft carrier, and every time we changed timezones I had to update the timezone on the server. Heading from East to Wes

Never a good idea, unless you want people to give you money via credit card. From my experience, having one of those badges on your checkout form results in a measurable increase in conversions, even if it doesn't mean anything to people wh

How about only showing the ads until each month's (or the year's) costs are met? That way there's no temptation to try to derive a profit from it, and at worst you end up with ads on Wikipedia for a couple of months out of the year (kind of

They should place one ad in the sidebar, with a "request for comments" link right above it. Run that for a week, post the results, and let the community decide.

Very handy. Also, you can do something like this: git config --global alias.open '!sh ~/gitopen.sh' Which lets you invoke it like: git open diff master Edit: Alternately, if you save the file somewhere in your path as "git

I also ran into a problem with GoDaddy when trying to transfer a domain name that was protected by Domains by Proxy. I first got a notification that I needed to enter into a new agreement, so I did. Then I got a notification that I needed t

I like #cobol, even though there seems to be a surprising lack of programmer talk :D

I may be misunderstanding this, but that benchmark appears to be based on an in-browser compilation, while Hogan's advantage is the ability to precompile templates.

I don't know if there's a name for it, but this is kind of like "security by obscurity". I'm not sure I would just make the assumption that there's no possible way a terrorist group can engineer a virus capable of killing half the world's p

I think the problem in this case, when you're talking about adding airborne transmission to a virus with a 50%+ mortality rate is that the risk of someone causing a pandemic is MUCH higher than the odds that they will find an effective vacc

Uh oh, I haven't even updated my clients to Rails 3.1 yet. Definitely not good to fall behind more than a major point release or two with Rails. I have a very old client running Rails 2.3.x and it's always a pain when they need the occasion

Hmm they say the same thing about haml, however haml makes my life so much easier when writing views. I will say that just like you should know HTML before using haml, you should know JavaScript before using CoffeeScript.

From the point of view of a photon originating in that gas cloud, it was emitted by an electron in the gas cloud and absorbed by an electron in the telescope sensor at the exact same instant.

FYAD isn't what it used to be, but I agree that it's part of what made SA great. Not necessarily the actual content of FYAD, but the fact that it kept everyone outside of FYAD in check. The other forums did a great job of keeping the post q

Honestly, your karma doesn't have much impact inside of HN either. It's just a number that lets you know you are a reasonable fit with the community.

A lot of people I know switched from TextMate to vim because of the lengthy delay. After using vim for a couple of years now, it would be very hard to go back to TextMate.
