Can confirm, my 2010 Snow Leopard is still my main workhorse despite being used every day with demanding design programs, and replacing the battery / RAM once (and being dropped several times, imagine that). At this point I'm hone

Negative. I'm physically disabled and not in one of their ~3 select cities (still a large city, mind you; ATL is hardly small) with that additional 'service' and the friction to get a workable vehicle is next to impossible.

It isn't about the candidates - think about the long-con. Heated people in an argument tend to ignore rational reasoning. Heated, divided people tend to ignore olive branches "by the other side", and miss potential chances

American individualism, I suspect - part of how deeply rooted that mindset is in all the different strata of classes. Proving that you can make it on your own, especially with how "equalizing" social media is on the surface (every

Tumblr - still the most reliable place to find portfolio art blogs that update every now and then without the opinion fluff. While I do have an art-only blog, I use it mostly for my (separate) personal blog for genuine essays & scrapbo

I'm a designer that works both on an indie freelancer level and an agency/corporate level, so this feels apt for input! Several reasons - you've got part of the answer right in that there are a ton of other smaller tools for

You know, you made me think how it's ironic that by blurring the lines of information/truth, those same lines in the sand really end up getting starker than ever in a truly vicious cycle of 'the other is the enemy'. Appr

When you're healthy (physical, mental, what have you), there's no dependents to worry about, no worries about personal safety at night, and a reasonable ability to walk into an average retail store and pick up a job ... that'

I'll throw y'all a curveball - IRON CROWN ( https://www.ironcrowncomic.com ) is an action-adventure webcomic about mercs, monsters, and a dictator’s daughter fleeing a coup - with all of the above standing against a much

I've heard Privacy Badger (connected with the EFF) is a good one as well.

Privacy is a spectrum, and not all of us have the patience/time to deal with Tor. I consider myself somewhat tech-fluent (not in the industry) and privacy-oriented, but there's a happy medium of installing FF on my dayjob computer

Most of the time it's not even reacting to something; simply taking the time and effort in mentoring a bright lady is another shield in the bulwark to this nonsense. As a personal example, I have the deepest respect for one of my forme

I honestly feel like framing the debate around surface elements like color (of all things) is worse than useless, and would rather people focus on what tech-y groups have historically attracted young girls with no problem - neopets(1), for

Nice work on this! :) Got me to click around a bit. A few comments (from a design background, so your mileage may vary): - Digging the 'don't ask' section to your answers - I'm personally of the mindset that knowing wh

As someone who had one of the earliest cochlear implants done back in the '90's, I would say it'd be a non-invasive surgery (with minimal recovery/rehab time, say, a week), with near infinite options of modding the softw

Anecdotal opinion ahead, but from someone who's been an avid user since 2010-12-ish (in a variety of scenes but mostly in illustration). Personally, it's felt like a death of a thousand cuts. Tumblr was a gift to people who wanted

Not the OP, but having an actual camera for special events solves that one pretty easily. A map in the car, a sketchpad for notes - analog has its perks.

Are you by chance in that industry somehow? I'm (as a designer) with an organization that's looking to break into this very kind of niche - it's almost the other end of the problem ironically; we have plenty of resources, bu

For me, HN started off as an alternate news source to reddit; there's more signal to noise with every article on the front page. Even if it wasn't newsworthy per se, you could (and still can) count on a vast majority as free and
