That seems a bit too pedantic of an argument for this article. The very first paragraph implicitly states its definition of text editor: If you’re like most people in America, you use a text editor nearly every day. Whether it’s your

I wonder if you have to be logged in for that link to work? I'm at work right now and I never log in to reddit from here.

The reddit post I meant was this announcement from 10 or so days ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/announcements/comments/891stx/start... Thanks for the Wired link. That actually shows it. Yeah, I agree it l

Not sure why, but that link just brings me to the normal homepage (as it's looked for years).

I don't get it. What exactly is changing? From the screenshots from the reddit post about it, it looks.... like reddit. There's posts and the posts have upvote/downvote buttons, and there's a link to the comments that sh

That was a pretty nice write up about it. I don't know very much about video encoding, and usually when I've tried reading about it I very quickly am out of my depth, but this bit seemed pretty reader friendly to a not-even-close-

It's a newspaper-style headline. I'm not really sure why NPR decided to title it that way on the web, though.

Some servers feed different pages depending on whether they think a request is coming from a browser or a bot based on user agent string. Sure it's easy enough for a bot to pretend to be anything, but some servers are still set up to c

I'm not calling your HAD articles clickbaity because they get picked up by HN... I meant they had titles that were actual clickbait, like you were goading people into clicking out of anger because you'd say something inflammatory

I wish HN would link to any other author's posts on hackaday other than Benchoff. His articles are very clickbaity for a site that rarely does clickbait, and he's frequently been openly hostile to commenters and to readers in gene

The titles are the labels, yes, but that's not exactly clear (and definitely not explicit), as shown by the fact that people were confused about it.

For more insight into this, look into the US's history with the decline of the auto industry, the steel industry, and the coal industry. (These are just the ones that immediately pop into mind. I'm sure there are plenty of others,

How printing goes after prototyping all depends... Some people shop their prototypes to publishers, some get the game to a more advanced state before shopping it to publishers, others self publish, and still others release it as print&p

I'm not the OP, but as someone who dabbles in tabletop game design, I find these kind of generators very useful for game prototyping. (The one I've used most in the past is called Squib[1] and it's an open source Ruby codebas

In my experience, most of the theaters in NYC are covered (including all the AMCs) but there are a small few arthouse theaters that aren't covered. That said, there are plenty of arthouse theaters in NYC that _are_ covered, so it'

I stand by my intense rage that I would feel if some software I was using asked me a setting question that I had already set (for no reason other than the length of time since I last answered the question). Sorry, but I'm particular ab

Opt-in is a decent enough method. But "Occasionally re-prompt a user" is a horrible idea, in my opinion. From a user perspective, that's kind of like the software forgetting the options you set. The very first time that somet

You don't need physical access to the computer at all. All you need is to make your malware program steal focus the same way Slack does it and then you can have the users password for that computer. It's good practice to always as

When I was using fastmail, I got lots of spam and I couldn't figure out how to get less. The spam was the reason I stopped using it and went back to gmail primarily. (This was a year or 1.5 ago.) I liked everything else about their ser

I'd argue that even to the ordinary Joe it should be quite logical that disclosing something publicly before the company has had a chance to fix it means that nefarious people could learn about the exploit and use it against victims. I

What in the world is this? Your plug says nothing, and your page says nothing. Hell, even the URL is pretty meaningless.
