"If an anti-gay person works at my company, his being anti-gay will have no affect on my livelihood. People with a gay agenda have made a choice to stand in the way of progress. That means their actions negatively affect the people aro

I find this whole ordeal disappointing. Eich's personal beliefs should have only been criticized insofar as they impacted his ability as CEO. I'm not sure how much that would have been, but the attacks targeted Eich as a whole, an

This is the reason I opted not to get Lenovo's new X1 Carbon ultrabook; it replaces the function keys with a programmable touchscreen like that, which I think inhibits usability. http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/l

The most alarming thing about this article is the author's tone.

I'm a bit uninformed; is there any recent precedent for a revolt like this succeeding? Honestly I'm a little skeptical that a revolution of this sort could ultimately defeat a vastly better-funded power without overwhelming popula

I guess I'd better become a citizen journalist to counteract it, then.

I have a similar problem; this is what I do: I keep a dev branch to merge to/from whenever I switch focus. For example, when I'm on branch Feat-A, but I want to make a change related to Feat-B (or I already have but haven't

I was debating getting this laptop or a Thinkpad T440s and a Chromebook Pixel. For me the Pixel just doesn't have the storage capacity I want, and the T440s isn't quite as portable. I've made a deal with myself to get this o

This is more or less the sentiment I have of HN, too. Basically it boils down to an echo chamber; the community selects what it wants to hear, and silences other voices. Granted, HN seems to have a more pretentious selection criteria - les

Yeah, but if you keep going you could say the command line is skeuomorphic just by being text: it's the digital equivalent to typewritten text. If you go further, you could say that the glyphs of the letters themselves are skeuomorphs
