One problem with this chart is that it presents a snapshot in time and so you can't see how the various portions of the budget have changed. So here is Jared Bernstein( * ), former member of President Obama's economic team explaining how th

Misleading headline , but a nice, and useful, anecdote about the techniques they used to find a memory leak, ending with a good explanation of why the typical ruby tools would not be able to find it.

I guess I don't have a real problem with the way you implement your behavior, I think my difficulty is that this is not like "Send to Coventry", but something actually much harsher. In Dennehy's case, I would be annoyed with him as a blogwh

This may come off as a bit bitter, but there is an enormous difference between "Send to Coventry" in the wiki schoolyard sense and shadow banning. The schoolyard kids are a lot less cowardly and passive aggressive than you. Ostracism itself

I like that this will make the phone call for you, and connect the call for me, because yes, sometimes there are calls I know I have to make but are afraid to make. So that's where Remindlyo could help a little bit more. Let users (anonymou

Having used Swype, Flex T9, and Dragon Natural Speaking, this buyout bothers me. And that's because while Swype really seems to get what customer support is all about, Nuance itself is still into customer support circa 1998. Email support

I read HN in Google Reader in a tabbed browser, and I think I would prefer a feed that reversed the order of the two links. So that the first link goes to the HN comments, and the second link goes to the article itself. That would allow me

I hope it works out for them. As a former customer, I like how Sprint stores often have repair counters so the phone doesn't have to be sent away, and I was always happy with their customer service. As the #3 and always foundering, they rea

Well, I can't find the right report now, but yes, if you google thinks like chrome slow multiple tabs, or chrome freezes multiple tabs, you'll find lots of reports that chrome is almost unusable when opening multiple tabs at the same time (

Opera is better than Chrome on one and only one point: Opera will load multiple pages in multiple tabs swiftly, while Chrome gets bogged down in some known and unfixed race condition. I find that reading news aggregator content like Google

Using dropbox is problematic for security reasons, but Joe's solution offers a benefit (over rsync, etc.) he doesn't mention in his post, which is that it places his blog source in the cloud as well, and makes it amenable to editing from vi

Netflix has handled this so badly for customers and investors, and so obviously badly at that, that I can either believe they are incompetent, or that there are hidden factors (lawyers) at play. The conspiracy theorist in me leads me to sus

All else being equal, Richard Stallman took a complex topic and made it very clear. Which I find very impressive and also helps in making his essay very persuasive. I wonder how long it took him to write and rewrite his essay.

This was really interesting, thank you. If anyone reads this, note that in Opera at least, clicking the builtin pdf reader's down button skips some very informative notes that Adam left in the presentation. Press page down instead.

Thanks. What I am looking for is a simple, inexpensive (free), way to multicast a part of my screen to various unused monitors around my place. So I can pretend to be Best Buy, or a pub and have all my monitors from living room to bedroom t
