Except we have studies showing that speed bumps actually do save lives. There's nothing indicating that this ban would prevent bombs on planes in any meaningful way.

He did. He says it was disorderly conduct, and that it will likely be changed anyway. The whole point is that the disorderly conduct charge was "trumped up" because he was filming them. I don't really see the title as click b

Technically those are NPM bugs, not Node bugs. And Yarn seems to do a much better job these days.

FYI for ad blockers: I had to disable uBlock to get this to work. I was quite confused at first because I couldn't figure out what all the fuss was for a spinning circle!

Maybe it isn't legal? I'm pretty sure there is a law preventing use of social security numbers for some things, so there may be something similar happening here. I don't really know, and I'd also guess something like tha

Because the majority of people -- particularly a technically oriented crowd like we have here on Hacker News -- are seeing the bulk of their costs going toward channels we never watch. Like ESPN. The amount cable providers pay ESPN per view

I've had no problems at all. I use it primarily on my Android tablet (Nvidia Shield K1), and occasionally on my phone (also Android, Moto X Pure 2015). I haven't noticed any problems. I use it for both reading and adding using the

I recently switched from Pocket to a self-hosted instance of Wallabag ( https://wallabag.org ) and I've been very happy with it. One thing I've noticed with these types of services is that they quickly start becoming int

Well that's good to know -- in that case I'll give it another shot.

To your point, Atom allows both. Don't like the UI? Just edit config.cson or whatever directly! You're not locked into it. I just find that if I have to go through a LOT more steps without a UI.

I keep trying VSCode, but the main thing that keeps me going back to Atom is the fact that I have to do everything at the command line or by editing an enormous json file. Maybe I'm spoiled, but I'd much rather have a nice UI to d

This looks cool, thanks. Also want to thank you for not opening your links in an external window! I'm really getting sick of that trend.

Wouldn't that then imply that you would get worse service from Fedex and UPS, where the drivers have more to gain by cutting corners? But the reality is really the exact opposite.

by joekrill 10y ago
Huh? Where does UPS not ship to? I'm pretty sure they ship everywhere.

by joekrill 10y ago
I mostly agree. I would actually pay UPS a monthly fee to takeover my mail delivery if it were an option. Do you live in a city? In my (albeit very anecdotal) experience, folks in cities HATE the USPS, while in the suburbs they seem to be g

OK, and your point? They said 90 percent. Not 100.

Sounds like you dodged a bullet there. Thanks for sharing. Kind of ridiculous that they wouldn't even comment on the questions or clarify a bit! Not to mention the fact they basically ignored the first email and didn't respond unt

Things have definitely gotten _better_ for me (I still run Windows 10 on my Desktop). But I had to basically reinstall everything at one point. One tiny thing that drives me absolutely nuts: it used to be when the lock screen was showing, I

But that's really what `docker rm` is for, isn't it? I mean, if you want to only delete specific containers, use that. Prune has a specific purpose, which I think is very clear. If you're running the command, you (presumably)

I guess ideally a duress code would make it seem as though regular access was given, while silently either wiping sensitive data or keeping it hidden.

I'd argue that Windows has actually gotten worse. The Bash on Windows thing is nice -- but Windows 10 has become such a huge pain. And obviously this is anecdotal. But I just have so many random problems with it. Things crashing, reboo

Looks like there's a mistake about image pruning: "Add -f to get rid of all unused images (ones with no containers running them)." But the option is actually `-a` -- `-f` just simply skips the prompt.

Cool! Love to see anything that promotes mindfulness and makes it more accessible to folks. Interesting that the sessions are so short -- I'm not sure I've seen anything shorter than 10 minutes before.

I definitely like the way they decided to move in the latest version. I never was comfortable with the previous API -- it just didn't feel right, and it was kind of restrictive.

Actually, the majority of Americans did NOT vote for this. Even the majority that actually voted didn't vote for this.

But it's not immediately obvious if someone changes something that isn't covered by a unit test. Or forgets to create a unit test. Does that mean we should just abandon writing unit tests altogether? You could always use a tool li

Well this seems like a problem with code reviews (or lack of), rather than with the comments themselves.

by joekrill 10y ago
I hear this all the time as to why comments are "bad" (and I'm not suggesting that's what _you_ are saying, btw). Comments need to be kept up-to-date with code changes. The same way unit tests are kept up-to-date, and ev

It absolutely baffles me that people still like to call React a "Technology du jour". It's ubiquitous today. It's _THE_ go-to front-end web development UI framework.
