The article mentions Delta positioning itself "as a more high-end airline with premium features that can attract higher-paying leisure and business travelers". Aren't those the customers less likely to quibble over paid wi-fi

It'd be nice if you linked to a privacy policy on that page. The policy linked to on the app store page isn't very specific, either.

And almost always renders them less readable, and occasionally unparsable. I do wish they'd turn off this "feature". I've yet to hear a coherent explanation for how this improves the quality of submissions.

Let's be honest - you're describing how it was in the before times. Once the most aggrieved people in the universe began holding sway, it devolved into a place where every thoughtful disagreement became a flashpoint.

I wonder if it was auto-transcripted. It reads like it was done by someone unfamiliar with the rhythms and idioms of "English as she is spoke".

Capturing the Friedmans is brilliantly constructed. Jarecki peels the onion one layer at a time, saving key details for when they'll have maximum impact.

Sure, it's tricky to get it right, and we've already discovered a lot of ways to get it wrong. I still think it's a worthy goal. Directing resources to those already best-placed to use them is tempting, but taking it to its

In a zero-sum game, sure. But assuming we all live in a society, helping the disadvantaged raises the mean level of, er...advantage for all. The advantaged ones get the further benefit of living in a society that's better off as a wh

If your vision is truly so all-encompassing, maybe that's the thing you should work on selling -- but not to investors; to the people you want to work with. Solve your HR problem, get some co-founders, and get going.

This is only feasible if the program takes no input, or a very limited set. Once you open it up to arbitrary input, no single run (or even a large set of runs) can capture everything the program might be expected to handle. How does the ty

There's something called "Data-Oriented Programming" and something else called "Data-Oriented Design". I can never remember which is which. This post changes nothing.

No, it doesn't. "See" refers to our visual perception, whether it occurs in the eyes, the brain, or anywhere in between.

It's higher-privileged randomness. As in, all GUIDs are random, but some are more random than others.

It feels like your argument is a bit of a strawman itself. I'm hard-pressed to come up with a situation where the code is broken but readable, and the quickest way to fix it is to make it less so. Sure, there are times when I don&#x27

I disagree. All else being equal, readability is the most important criteria. And readability is the greatest contributor to maintainability. Next to that, being "well-organized" is what makes something maintainable. If your co

I recently repurposed an old Win XP machine (Athlon 64 X2, circa 2010) that had been sitting unused for 15+ years. I threw in 4Gb of memory and a pci wifi card and installed Lubuntu. Works great! FF is a bit sluggish on it, but I don'

That's such shit. Companies that pull nonsense like this shouldn't be allowed to market their products. If you're in the US, try contacting the FTC. I have the Elite 85t and it works fine with my Android phone and both my D

I agree in principle, but if there's one thing internet commenting has taught me, it's that a tragically large number of people are somehow getting though life with broken sarcasm detectors.

HN has some rules for automatically fixing up headlines. Usually it edits out small words like "the" and "a" at the beginning of a title. I have no idea what the rationale for this is, especially considering the potenti
