While you are correct, you are completely off topic and not really helping. Plus, it's not like HN needs another reminder of vim's infallibility.

To be fair, if you're going to lifehacker to help you set up github, you're probably not motivated enough to go tearing through github's faq. Quite frankly, you're probably not motivated enough to finish the lengthy tutorial they posted.

I think it's a great first picture for the article as it shows the concept existed before and has a meaning expanded past Internet related technologies. You don't just design for a medium, you design for a culture. If you don't understand t

There is no debate between skeuomorphism and flat design. There are people who think that there should be a debate and thus spend 5 pages spewing personal opinion, but in the world of business and making products there is no debate. There i

Dude... everything in that claim is what a milkman literally does. Literally! Especially if that milkman uses computers.

If there was ever an argument against broad software patents it's this. Also if there ever was an argument that the patent system is a money making sham, it's this. Prepending existing ideas with, "A computer-implemented method" does not ma

Bend your index finger to touch your thumb. Something as trivial as that could mean "Don't treat this as an interaction".

Why not just build an editor that works off git? Then you could abstract it from the user and leverage all the existing ways of sharing text like github and bitbucket. "But even as a developer it’s full of headaches." is also just plain

There are certainly ways to simulate fish oil with biologically inert ingredients.

by newishuser 14y ago
What this article leads me to think is that we need to legally protect the word placebo. It seems grossly misleading to use the word placebo to describe non biologically inert ingredients. To do so is to lie and nothing more.

To me the biggest threat to computing freedom is no longer your operating system vendor but "the cloud". Most people are just giving their data away to companies that can do whatever they want with it including delete it forever when they g

Yes, it's still open source. Freedom is more about liberty than cost.

ha, never-mind. I was confusing myself thinking it was some special case a la !important. Just an ID of important.

anyone know what the #important does in this selector from the article? article:matches(.active, .visible, #important) { background: red; } I understand what it normally does, but I've never seen it in a selector.

A trademark is a legal monopoly on a name. The issue isn't whether he worked hard or not, it's whether he deserves to have a legal monopoly on the use of the word "Gaymer". As much as you argue "he trademarked it plain and simple" these peo

A database of of 4 digit passwords is not suitable as a replacement for PINs. Especially not for anything called a fucking analysis. Banks don't let you choose 4 consecutive numbers or 4 of the same number making his first conclusion comple

Title is a bit overblown and unnecessarily negative. Why can't we just be happy about the future. 'Cos it doesn't attract readers? 'Cos even seasoned contributers to Forbes have to express their petty, pissy attitudes? The title should be,

This isn't really anything interesting unless you're a Dylan collector. No boundaries of copyright are being pushed, no new faces of record label greed are being shown, there's nothing to even talk about really. It's just a major label rele

I have no ability to downvote, so instead I leave my intention. Please try not to be so reactionary. Silicon Valley is a region in California. The Westboro Baptist Church is a private organization.

Silicon Valley is not a thing that can have opinions. He's just being inflammatory.

Silicon Valley is not a thing with opinions. You can't call an inanimate object wrong in this way. What you meant to say was, "I believe a College education is important." But that title isn't inflammatory and eye catching. Anyway, I think

MessagePack Has nothing to do with JSON. This page is a good example of how marketing copy can undermine your product. MessagePack is a data serialization format, it has about as much to do with JSON as honey has to do with milk, but they w

I use the software center whenever I can. I like the reviews, screen-shots, description, and link to official website. It's a pretty ugly piece of software with unrefined edges all over the place but it gets the job done for now. That being

What about when people need to take a screen shot of something sent to them for evidence of a crime committed against them? Also this all hearkens back to the "How do I prevent right clicking on my website with jQuery?" days.
