I have to agree with that, I still own an iPod Classic Video and after 2 HD replacements and a new display (I wasn't really smart nor careful the first time I attempted to replace the HD) it still is the best Media device I ever had. I

December 9, 1968 Douglas Engelbart did something what I believe was a huge leap into the future. He didn't just invent the mouse, but the whole experience and interactivity with a computer which was unheard. Do that sort of things stil

AI always inspired me to become better at programming and learn new languages, methods and idea's. And even with the currently available tools and technologies, it amazes me how little of these dreams I had actually exist or are being

I do think it would be a good thing if more people, preferably in management positions or office-positions would get the chance to learn to code, or at least an introduction to it. It would allow them to appreciate the hard work that get&#x

Bartender does even more than that, you can make certain icons reappear in the menu bar when they change for a certain period to make you aware of them. And combined with iStat menus I even make for instance my battery-icon hide whenever do

Why would this be an administrative nightmare? I can see how deciding which JS/CSS libraries should be included can cause dispute, but apart from that, why not? I actually even always wondered why the default css applied to elements is

I'm curious if we ever will see the most popular JS/CSS frameworks/libraries integrated into the browser itself, and a simple attribute in the tag would allow loading the internal version, but still allow failover to the host

I believe this is worth thinking about, because if the syntax highlight is only to disguise whenever the syntax is incorrect, you could only highlight it when it is incorrect, and modern IDE's (vim including) are capable of doing this.

As stupid as it sounds, I actually have a use for this script: When I clearly want to mark that I start installing something or logging and need a "marker" that stands out. Very likely there is a better way to do this, but doge st

I'm only guessing, but I think the reason it's soo big is because they want it to be "DIY" and a bluetooth-module and wireless-recharging module cannot be made much smaller, not to forget that thing also needs to have a

I certainly agree with that, it seems the only two functions of the implant are measuring the temperature and making light up his arm a little bit. I am however curious to see how this project will advance, will he be able to use his arm li

You know, it would be interesting to do some statistics on which languages people vote down based on which languages they vote up. For instance, people that vote ruby up, most likely will dislike PHP, but not always the other way around. Bu

Pretty cool! It took me a few minutes to figure out how exactly to send data, but a quick php-script did the trick! https://gist.github.com/larrybolt/6860232 Really this is what I have been thinking about building myse

This is a better approach, but I tend to open a page, see if it's an interesting topic in a few seconds, scroll to the bottom so that any images that don't load until you scroll to them get loaded and comments get loaded (for instance Disqu

Well, to add my 5 cents, Floobits works great! When reading the post about CoVim I tried getting it to run, but it gave me ugly errors about my python version which (I really did try to fix) but took a bit more time than expected and I gave

What exactly does that mean, the level you apply/qualify for? Does it depend on your education or merely on how much your employer put into it? Because 6 years waiting for a green card, after which another 5 years before you can apply for c

As a european developer and HN reader I've recently been wondering how feasible it is to move to the states after I finished university. It seems the general trend would be something in the like of getting a visa, start looking for a job an

Any financial sites should not participate in April Fool's jokes if you ask me, or just as google add a notice it's for just a joke. https://www.google.com/intl/en/landing/nose/help.html

Though I like seeing sites pulling an April Fool's joke, I do think any money-related sites (so bitcoin sites as well) have to say no to pulling pranks on their users.

This, and learning to touch type helped a lot. And on top of that all kind of shortcuts different programs use become more logic, such as the [-key for changing the brush size in Photoshop, cmd+[ for indenting in textmate...

I agree! Long ago it was possible to determine whenever a signature was genuine, but these sort of "digital signatures" don't provide any level of security, verification or anything alike. Even signing using an e-id and card-reader would be

Could you please name a few of those hosted services? Because Squash seems currently to be written for Ruby specific apps, however PHP, Django, Nodejs apps could use such a service too.

Than again, I though about putting a minified link to a Cv-page with extra info and a way to interact right away. And if you're looking for a job in development/design a simple base encoded url that points to a page where you pinpoint short

Versus what I do: - See the ad - Take a picture of it with the native camera-app (android). - Get at home behind my pc and notice google has uploaded the picture to my private pictures and displays a notice about it on my homepage (google).

I don't mind these html5 items coming to all browsers, but I hope it will become possible to style these to your own needs, with vendor-prefixes or something alike. Because if you have a dark site it does become really annoying to have a br

This looks interesting to use a vm dev machine. Install it under vmware or something alike on your mac/pc and run your sites/apps live over there. It seems to me there are huge advantages to doing that because if your run mamp on your mac f
