As someone who has taken the kids out and about during the day, I have to say that it's awkward . You end up being the only man in a group of dozens of women with their kids, or you are the guy at the playground sitting by himself whi

Women who are halfway into their careers in tech are leaving at a rate of 56%, which is more than double the quit rate of men. One reason for the high quit rate may be that women have a much lower chance of being promoted, even when they h

Every time I try to switch to Firefox, it just doesn't work as well, and I switch back. I'd rather Firefox over Chrome for philosophical reasons, but I feel like Firefox just isn't there technologically. It's getting bet

The HN title should really have quotes around "Pet Sounds" (as the original title has it italicized).

When I installed 12.04 LTS, I was shocked at how radically different it was than 11.10, and that it was going to be an LTS release. This introduced Unity as the default, among other changes, and I was concerned that they were being too aggr

"It is provided to everyone, regardless of need, forever." How long will the experiment last? I feel like the recipients knowing they are guaranteed a payout for at least a decade will result in very different behavior than only k

I just flew out of Newark, and other family members flew out of LaGuardia, we didn't experience this at all. In fact, on the way back I had Precheck for reason, and I'm waiting in that line, looking at the completely regular secur

What do you mean? My son setup his sea monkey set nearly a year ago, and it's still in my office going strong, with only the slightest maintenance.

The artist (or the article) suggests that the pictures he took on the metro are the 'real' person, whereas the pictures on the social site are the 'ideal' person. I'm not so sure. I think its very possible that the

I had to share this one, I sent a screenshot of the Yahoo homepage from a while ago (yeah, I had that hanging around...) with the main image being of Donald Trump. The caption guess was "I am not really confident, but I think it's

It says "any image" but I think they really mean "any photograph", based on the samples as well as the stuff I uploaded to it.

You talk like developing on Linux means doing everything in the command line. *nix UX is nothing to be ashamed of, and I personally prefer it over Windows and OS X (especially OS X).

In more hilly/mountainous areas (like Connecticut or upstate NY or even parts of Pennsylvania) cell service kind of stinks. I've been to plenty of places where I get no service, even outside.

In my experience, being connected to solid wifi will drastically increase your battery life vs. the phone trying to use the cell network for everything, especially if your cell service is noticeably worse than the wifi.

Video is extremely overrated as a medium. It's not searchable, it's not quotable, and it takes forever to consume compared to reading. I read a dozen(s) or more articles in a day, and generally watch zero videos per week.

The funny thing is that no one ever really sold that many copies of an album. The music industry, for all its reach and visibility, is tiny compared to a single 'blockbuster' movie. I mean, a "gold record" which is prett

I've installed OS's on plenty of AS/400's for a prior job. When everything goes perfect, they are still a complete nightmare. I can't imagine how you pulled it off, frankly.

I can certainly blame Dell for not supporting a Windows upgrade for computer that was only 2.5 year old on retail release, never mind previews and betas. It means they see their computers as disposable objects almost immediately after purch

I'm pretty salty about Dell these days. I recommended my grandparents get a Dell so I wouldn't have to do too much tech support (I'm really rusty at Windows these days), and Dell decided that a machine manufactured and purcha

I don't think so, no. It wasn't clear-cut either way (legally shot by luring it away from illegal areas).

I don't think Kik is the bad guy here. This npm module was rather new (<6 months?), while Kik Messenger has been around for years, and is VERY popular with the young crowd. They are both software. It would be like the author naming

I interpreted that as "after 8 hours of work at my regular job", not "8 hours of working on the project". Otherwise, why is he thinking about it on the train, and talking about how fun working on it that night was? I cou
