Screenshots aren't just of different apps, but of different kinds of apps. Showing me screenshots of a Twitter client and an accounting package is not going to convince me that the accounting package is running on the platform with inferior

[The deceased nurse] was the person who answered the call from the Australian DJs and was not the nurse who discussed the duchess's medical condition.

"Disc" is a perfectly valid spelling. But even if it wasn't, it still wouldn't be worth posting to HN about. Now, if you'd written a blog post analysing spelling/typing/grammar errors on a major web site --- or several web sites --- that mi

Post a proper poll. The way you have done it means that 1. we can't see how many votes each option gets; and 2. you get lots of karma for not posting anything insightful. http://news.ycombinator.com/newpoll Although I see you don't have e

If I was considering whether to incorporate code covered by this license into my project, I would have to reject it based on the license. So it would be hypocritical for me to release code under this license. Line 2 is vague: how much wealt

[Reference counting] No garbage collection. Objective-C could still do more with respect to reference cycles, but that is primarily a non-issue, and easily solved in future versions. I think if you solve this, you've implemented GC. Which

Ad blocking is an arms race. The more ad revenue that's lost to ad blockers, the harder the ad networks will work to make their ads unblockable. (Startup idea: a combination ad network / cdn, so that ad blockers can't block the ads from you

Subjecting people waiting in waiting rooms to advertising is hardly going to improve the experience of waiting in a waiting room. I don't donate to Cancer Research UK any more specifically because they had an annoying advert on heavy rotati

Could you explain what the question means? What is a "David market"?

I wonder how you are thinking of generating revenue from people who are waiting? Particularly since many (most?) of the people there are either below their cognitive average or distracted by herding children.

The word "fact" has become unfashionable, or perhaps is no longer being overused, at least in that magazine. But your title makes it sound as though fewer facts are appearing.

tel:01234567890 So, taking that as a UK phone number, what's the syntax to make it work from other countries? I'd guess tel:+441234567890, but is a plus sign allowed there?

This doesn't appear to be tax efficient. They donate 10% of your bill after VAT , so 8.3%. I'd actually be paying VAT on my donation. Meanwhile the charity can't claim back my income tax on the donation. e.g. if my phone bill is £24/month,

Well, it depends. If Atwood's aiming at an international audience, then he should use both measurement systems. If he's happy with an American audience then there's no reason for him to bother. I note that the date of his blog post is the i

Another reason to run sshd on a different port is that sometimes tcp/22 (indeed sometimes all tcp ports except 53, 80 and 443) are firewalled off. I have experienced this with free wifi on a few occasions. Running sshd on port 443 usually m

Flagging can be done by anyone with enough karma, so there's an inherent lack of consistency.

Assuming you mean web pages, I'd go with neither: use max-width instead. You avoid forcing people with narrow windows to scroll horizontally, while also avoiding excessively long lines of text on wide windows.

That's hardly Microsoft-specific though. There was even a piece on HN a few days ago noting that no Microsoft products featured in the current top ten list of serious software vulnerabilities, partly because iOS and Android had moved in. (A

My understanding is that as a non-incumbent campaign, you ideally want voters to believe that your candidate is behind but gaining and that the result will be close.
