Masturbation is a social stigma for some people, in that it evokes an immediate, 'uncontrollable' reaction due to conditioning. (i.e. a strict christian upbringing can be a cause of this.) Masturbation is a normal, natural thing, I think ra

This is the real team answering, with much less marketing-speak. (as opposed to the other "AMA") What I've read so far, they have an incredibly tough crowd over there, and they're handling it quite gracefully.

This is a good, levelheaded response. But it makes it seem as if the process of becoming a sponsored maintainer was straightforward. It's not. A number of months ago, I tried getting trimage (a gui image optimizer, http://trimage.org ) int

Ever since I read "Brain Rules" by John Medina (which advocates taking an afternoon nap) about a year ago I've been wanting to 'implement' it, but I have failed to do so yet. 3PM is just not a convenient time for a nap at all. Is there anyo

Well, you could start with adding some more info about what the site actually does on the homepage. Looking at it, I'm at a loss what to do. You're probably losing a lot of potential users because of that. Just give them a couple of sentenc

Oh dear, here's something I wrote over 3 years ago all up on Hacker News. Thanks for publicly shaming me! Here we go. This was ironic, firmly tongue in cheek, over the top, joking . No, I don't think "females" are "too dumb to appreciate

The "gluttony-sloth" hypothesis (fat people don't move enough and eat too much) has been thoroughly disproved. Regular exercise is an exceptionally bad way to lose weight (though there numerous other benefits!), so are smaller portions (sma

Cutting out grains isn't just about the gluten, but about the starch and sugar too. Replacing grains with fruit and potatoes is likely not optimal. I've been eating paleo/primal/low-carb (whatever) for half a year now. The need/craving for

This is how I do my debug, seems a little more compact :) DEBUG = socket.gethostname() != 'your.domain.com' I'd also suggest you add ADMINS = ( ('name', 'your-email@domain.com'), ) and # Email-settings SE

Looks...kind of unpolished ;) I understand that getting it to work is the hard part, but adding a little style can't hurt. Requested access to the beta, I have a couple of django projects that would be nice to run on such a service.

Most of these logo's aren't horrible, they're just at stage 1 for logo creation. Good thing it's (somewhat?) working out for him, it's a funny business idea.

If you're interested in stuff like this, check out 'How we decide' by Jonah Lehrer : http://www.amazon.com/How-We-Decide-Jonah-Lehrer/dp/06186201... I'm reading it now, and it's an amazingly insightful book, in that it manages to at once

Because it's boring. And no browser implements it. You're not doing anybody any favors by implementing it. That google rich data thing? It's done with html classes too, that works equally well, and we've had them for a while now. Seriously,

It's probably a webdesigner-thing to think of 960 as a nice round number, but that's the first thing I thought upon reading that.

Targetting Whatsapp and ping (chat) is a clever hack. A lot of my friends use it as a free alternative to texting, and i'll be sure to tell them to start using Notifo for that...As soon as it displays them as easily as whatapp does.* I've f

Too cool, I signed up and will be waiting for my 'go-ahead' mail. Also signed up for the api, I have a nice little command-line tool in mind that I'd like to build. When can we expect API access? :)
