Thanks for sharing this. This article was really helpful to a newb like myself and explained things a lot of articles like this skip over (like the '-' in the cat command).

I think the only problem here is that not everyone can handle the internet. And worse, instead of realizing this, they expect websites to cater to their special needs. They are expecting websites to babysit them, to put people they don&#x27

So what exactly are you proposing. Are you saying that the large subreddits that appear on the front page should be replaced with other subs because the moderators aren't doing a good enough job of excluding the kind of participation y

"but not in Chrome." Sounds like you need to switch to a high performance browser. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10342407

I completely agree with you. This problem with IDEs is not in the concept but in the way in which it is most often executed.

The article is about why so many people were able to customize their myspace pages but not their internet browsers. It's about the transition of a new user to that of a programmer. My response is in the context of the article. It has n

But that's the point. I didn't need to understand 10 commands in the terminal to run the application. A very small barrier. What IDE's did was create a huge barrier between me and all the other programmers. If something broke

The article agrees with you. It tries to explain why millions of people can add waypoints in SC, but can't build a greasemonkey script for their facebook.

I think it's much simpler to learn 10 commands in the terminal and use text files than try to grasp what's going on in an IDE. I understand the corner case for GUI building. My first language was C# and this is how I learned how t

Excellent article. The one thing I disagree with is IDE's. I think that they actually present an overly complex interface that is daunting to the new user, not helpful. Ditching IDE's and switching to a text editor and CLI has mad

Why would there even be a spectrum? Maybe a 2 dimensional spectrum. I'm sure someone can be both an extreme introvert and an extreme extrovert. Honestly, I think the idea is ludicrous. People aren't so different. But if there is h

Is there any hard science that supports that you can generalize the entire population into two categories: introverts and extroverts? I find this impossible to believe.

Thank you for pointing this out.

Let's be honest. The things the article is talking about are largely a reflection of people's demands. The type of people who are looking for self help are clearly not looking for lessons in humility. There is a type of person who

My 2cents: Dale Carnegie's "How to win friends and influence people" will always hold true. Additionally, many books on business relationships. One that comes to mind is, "What they don't teach you at Harvard Busine

Personally, I don't think it needs to be there at all. There are other ways to make it more interesting, like imagining a world where it's illegal for humans to drive, than to lazily call the cars boring just to troll.

BBC always seems to add commentary where there is no need for commentary. It's like they are trying to stir up controversy just to sell people on the stories. Personally, I don't think there's anything boring about a car driv

Do you actually believe that this is the first time that someone has posted a made up story to Missed Connections? I'm sure people have been posting made up stories since day 1. Made up stories on the internet are not novel. I'm s

A is not true. There have been many studies on eye witness testimony that disprove everything your saying. The reality is that our brain fills in many, many gaps. B, you completely missed the point. Just completely missed the point to read

Can someone clarify this for me? From watching their video, it seems like all they've done is build a tool that visualizes DNA? I don't understand how the tool assists with visual differences in DNA. I expected maybe a single DNA

Yes. The post is clearly fake. Even if the author hadn't messed up with any facts, the style of the writing gave it way. You'll notice that there are tons and tons of details. Everything is as specific as possible in an effort to

Presenting made up stories as authentic is by no means a new idea. To say it's an "evolution of artistic expression" is to give this piece and its author far too much credit. You're right, it does not matter if it is rea

I don't believe this post, and I think the author should have done a better job of making it realistic since that was clearly the goal of using craigslist. There are countless authentic (and believable though false) anecdotes available
