The battery life is crap. I honestly didn't think that $1300 was awful. Pricey, but not awfully pricey. And then I saw the battery life... only 5 hours =( If you want to delight the user with a mobile, battery life needs to be a priority. 5

Very cool! It seems though that if links are in answers, they are broken. Very nice work though!!

Can someone explain to me why they even bundle this extra shovelware in with their JRE installer? Surely the revenue gained from this is a minuscule fraction compared to their total revenue. Plus, this can't be good for their brand. So, it

Admittedly, I don't write much C/C++ anymore, but for a recent project, I need to use C. I decided to try clang instead of gcc. When clang showed me exactly what the source (via colors and indicators) of my compilation error I immediately k

"Dropped all things fluid." What are the implications of this? I'm not a web designer, so does that mean that we have to have fixed-width pages? Won't that make it harder to design web apps? Will someone help to clear up my misunderstanding

Your worry is correct. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4896054 I've tried scraping with it, and it failed miserably on some sites.

zombie.js is not a full browser. It's a poor emulation using jsdom as its backing. http://zombie.labnotes.org/guts Beware, for some applications, jsdom is super buggy.

Am I alone in feeling what a person needs Evernote for? Sharing files? I use Dropbox. Clippings? I just use bookmarks. I downloaded it a couple of years ago, but what are the common use cases from the HN crowd? I visited their website and w

Unless I missed something, they don't touch legality of Tor, other than: "Further, we believe that running a Tor relay — including an exit relay that allows people to anonymously send and receive traffic — is lawful under U.S. law." This do

I wanted to chime in here to backup `flyingyeti's` point. If you slap a giant watermark on it (doesn't count as a hit against the free 5), then it encourages experimentation and interaction with the platform. I'd think you'd want this, as y

I'm not sure how they plan to compete with Macs? The price is definitely not competitive. I care about computing experience. When it comes down to it, I haven't found a better *nix workstation than my Macbook Pro. I love Ubuntu. I use it fo

Really? This surprises me. Do you have any research, evidence, articles to support this?

by jonpaul 14y ago
Unless I missed it, the article doesn't mention exactly how it gets on your web server in the first place, or what vulnerability it exploits. I presume some vulnerability in Nginx? This would be the most important part, how can I prevent my

When it comes to monkeypatching, this is one thing that JS and Ruby got wrong. C# got it right. It'd be great if you could monkeypatch in JS/Ruby in a module level scope vs a global scope. Good to see that Ruby is taking steps to remedy thi

I'm truly intrigued and curious... my startup Gitpilot ( http://gitpilot.com/ ) is trying to solve a similar problem. Was Wingman conceived from any inspiration of Gitpilot? Truly curious, especially because of the airplane naming scheme.

So who are the competitors that one should look at? Sincere question. When comparing EC2 to Linode or to Rackspace Cloude, Amazon EC2 still wins. At least when I looked. I could be missing something.

There is nothing inherently wrong with sharing an opinion. I just disagree with the opinion and feel that said opinion reeks of entitlement. How does the prize not have value? If you won, you could trade/sell/exchange the prize for somethin

Doesn't this sentiment feel a bit too entitled to anyone? If someone is having a contest and you don't like the prize, just ignore the contest.

Thank you for your feedback. Of all of the market research that I've done so far, it seems that there still isn't a lot of Git developers on Windows. Outside of your own development, are many of your peers using Windows/Git? Excellent sugge

Why not write your code using Node.js because you actually enjoy using JavaScript? Or how about the convenience of writing in one language in your stack? Or how about the simplicity provided by not having to worry about threading per proces

I just watched the video, nice work! I regularly deal with files that have 10,000,000+ records. How well does Wizard scale with large data sets?
