Some communities seem to act like magnets for trolls and abusive behavior. I use evercookies on one of my websites to keep the trolls out. Works tremendously well. It has allowed the community there to really flourish, absent petty personal

No one's ever suffered because their camera's quality was too high. (resolution != quality)

The iPhone doesn't need to get any smaller, and the display won't need any more increases in resolution. That's practically it's only noticeable physical feature. Anything they add to it at this point will be hard to notice unless it adds s

In 2009, I wrote a little parody of the Zen of Python that includes a bit about what I felt upvotes were/should be used for: http://marcuscavanaugh.com/zen-of-hn/ -- I think that regardless of what guidelines were created initially, peopl

They mean whatever the upvoter wants them to mean: agreement, approval, or a meant-to-click-downvote instead. In practical use, people often do upvote because they agree.

No, it's useful . It means that with N upvotes, N people agree with the comment. That gives a great indicator as to whether or not the video is worth my time. The comment could have easily said that the video is a waste of time, which wo

Step into the 1970s, and try doing some of these things: - Professional-quality publishing (text, images, printing) - Sending text/images to your friend in another state - Looking up any kind of information (Library trip?) - Buyin

No. The app is just as legit as my iOS version: http://subdivideapp.com/ There's nothing inherently spammy about writing a Mac app in HTML.

Best of all, you can submit those apps to the Mac App Store. (I have. Great compromise.)

Things to consider: It's better to gain traction on one platform than to languish on multiple platforms. Android and iOS have two very different userbases; I hear that iOS seems to include more people willing to pay for software than Andr

The piano could really use more notes, and lag is a bit of an issue. But cool project!

Many people who have an iPad will also have an iPhone, at which point they'd be more likely to use the iPhone for photos. (Many, not all, maybe not even most. But many.)

If you look back at trends in web design over the past 10-20 years, you'll notice the progression of different styles. Heck, go back to circa-2004 "Web 2.0" designs, work your way forward, and you'll see that web design trends change every

This is why I hope Steve Jobs continues to drive Apple for years to come. He presses forward relentlessly, driving the user experience forward, even when the competition can't come close. No one else has been able to match the original iP

Cost has nothing to do with the iPad's viability for power users.

I just assume that any comment is prone to random downvotes on HN these days. I liken it to cosmic rays: something that just happens.

It says it would mix ratios of the three inks. How is that any different than a printer?

HN would be better if it were invite-only like Dribbble. I'm not a member of Dribbble, but it's a good example of why restricting community growth is beneficial. We're too late for that here. I don't think PG has enough bandwidth or interes

If he wanted to advertise for BankSimple, he could've done a heck of a lot better than a passing reference in a blog post about HN.

This is different than the original post. They've really fleshed out the website; two weeks ago, it looked like a fake. Now, it looks like a more legitimate product than before. (Of course, a thorough website doesn't prove anything.)
