I can't access google calendar at the moment (at work), but when I use it i have it in a view that only shows the next 7 days. This ticks one of the boxes this guy's talking about. As for having an expanded view of today, and a reducing de

One opinion I do want to throw out there is with the screenshot the author has of the mac Coda application. What strikes me as completely out of place interms of visual asthetics is the mac vertical scroll bar. While the rest of the screen

Judging by this thread so far, it seems as if everyone's almost just as confused as I am by this article... :-( What does the "river" represent? The flow of activity/competition/life? Why would you sit still and watch it all pass by you?

Here's one, which this article touches upon: Being able to start a blog to vent any issues you find the government to be lacking in. If I started this here in Australia, I won't have government officials knocking at my door, let alone hav

If you're having trouble understanding passive voice, then think of it this way: The passive voice means that you don't actually have to put in the person/thing doing the action, and the sentence will be gramatically correct and complete. S

The fact that you have a "sound proof office at work" seems to agree with the article. It's not that you're travelling to a corporate office environment that helps you work, but the fact that you're in a separate environment to your usual h

I have a Friench friend who, for years, has been critical about Australians. When i first met him he could continually rave on about how people in Paris are so much open with their emotions and how us Aussies are too closed by comparison.

If only someone told me of this article 5 years ago. Especially the part about working overtime ONLY if it's visible to everyone. I really enjoyed reading this.

I have to disagree. With my experience, the way I first got into programming was when a friend shows me visual basic many years ago when i was 12. The idea that I could actually "paint" my own application by dragging and dropping buttons,

As for me, I ALWAYS start with TextEdit when I want to type something out - only because it loads up very quickly (and without a big flast-screen). Word gets opened up afterwards when I know that the doc is going to get much larger and comp

This has vast potential in the language-learning space for people wanting to break into foreign literature. I'm currently learning a language, and at times I get bogged down in long-winded sentences until someone (kindly) lays out the sente

Looks nice, and would probably be a great recommendation to relatives or friends. On a site such as "hacker news", where the majority of users would be fast-typing power users, I think we would prefer to stick to our blank homepage and type

The idea that the patient was exhausted came to my mind as well. Imagine being locked-in for so many years, and then suddenly being asked to imagine things. It's not as easy as it sounds: Imagining something in such a strict order over suc

Nice work. However, given that the Christian Bible has been translated into English (probabaly many times over during the last thousand+ years), wouldn't it make more sense to diff the original Hebrew version? I'm assuming there's a websit

it's probably a matter of pride, seeing as they were once the champions of the web-wars in the 90s.

This author holds an air of bias about him. Even in the title "...more despicable than you thought" suggests this is more of a tabloid than anything factual. I'm interested in knowing what's going on in North Korea, and he does have some f

I think that the big show companies are catching on to the new "natural" fad and trying to adapt accordingly to protect their business. It's the same way McDonalds implemented a menu full of healthy options (called the "New Tastes" menu her

I've heard many such articles stating that exercising increases energy levels. However, they never seem to specify exactly what type of exercise. Are they always referring to cardio? I tried exercising in the morning a while back, but I w

Seems I've been marked down without a reason. Is there a way to delete comments on HN? I have no objections to removing this. I can't seem to find a "delete" link anywhere.

I find this type of a diet rather off-putting due to the high amount of meat you have to eat. Now I'm not a vegeterian, nor am I a PETA campaigner, but I do believe in animal rights. And the idea of promoting a diet that makes people eat c

I read a Readers Digest article along these lines a while back and found it increadibly fascinating. From what I remember, our DNA is riddled with bits of ancient virus DNA. Explanations as to why these have lasted so long were uncertain,

This is quite a long read, but I read the first part "Introduction to Vedic Mathematics", and as blown away at the methods of recitation used in ancient Indian to preserve sacred hymns. From what little I've read about Vedic Mathematics, it

I'm a little worried that the UI submissions might be very Vista/7 focused. As it stands, this website shows a Vista/7 screenshot. Isn't one of the points of the browser that it's multi-platform? There are still core UI issues they face o

I've got a few points and opinions to throw out here. Firstly, after reading a lot of comments here it seems that many people are talking about how NOT to get into management and stay with the job you love (particularly in reference to prog

I have a problem with accepting this. Much of it sounds like it's dumbing down human potential. If you don't think about the past then how can you learn from previous mistakes? Or reflect on past happinesses? If you don't think about the
