I'm surprised no one has mentioned keyboard portability. I find it incredibly hard to switch from ctrl on Windows to cmd on Mac. In college I had to switch frequently between Windows and Mac, and it was a nightmare. Since then, I'

I agree with you, but governments will ask: is it better to back an expensive technology, or a cheaper one like wireless? Is it the government's responsibility to provide the state-of-the-art. or the minimum viable? I'd prefer it

I don't think your dystopic vision is what's happening here. From the article: > The Walmart employees will not be obligated to continue working for the company after they get their degrees, and must put up only $1 a day toward

Interesting that this appears on the front page at the same time as this story: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16828973 I don't have a particular point of view either way other than to say that context matters, a

This was a really interesting story, and I'm interested in hearing even more detail about how they cut the temple into pieces. What machinery did they use to do the cutting? How much material was lost by this method? How did they make

I'm really surprised at how many of these HN comments are so sympathetic to this murderer's cause. To me, this illustrates how dangerous this type of reporting is, this media obsession with the perpetrators of mass shooting. This

Self-immolation is nowhere near in the same ballpark as taking a gun into an office and murdering a bunch of people. I really don't like the parent article's line of thinking of explaining or justifying this person's act. The

I think it depends on your reasoning for not sharing data to third parties. It seems like you're arguing that sharing data is wrong because, in the wrong hands, the data could be used to personally identify someone. In my mind, these a

For what it's worth, the most private data here is shared to analytics companies for Grindr's only analytical use. My guess is that Grindr's agreement with Apptimize and Localytics asks for the strictest possible protection o

I'm a little surprised that in the article, the tech lead is in charge of breaking up a task into parts. That seems like something a capable SEII should be able to handle, and it only improves them to be able to develop that skill. (Th

I think the preference against ids is covered over point #2 about specificity. id styles will always override class styles, so when you're trying to apply a class-based style guide to an element that's already been styled with an
