http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3667166 4 Days ago and 0 comments. I'd say this 'repost' is warranted, was an interesting read for many people it seems.

Hopefully this isn't on my side, but clicking on "The dark side of RATP (Paris metro) tickets" from /r/ReverseEngineering gives link address http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=fr&tl=en&#3... which resolves to a blank transla

I found myself wondering if perhaps the 'white-hat' reference is a blunder in the headline. This article woefully lacks any actual details regarding what he did or how he approached communication with Facebook, only stating that he was a wh

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll grab that application. Seems silly to me that the Dropbox app doesn't contain that feature as standard.

Very cool site, I really like the idea of the 'channel' and therefore syncing around the world, its neat! I agree with some of the comments, the option to skip and 'unsync' would be quite cool. Is there a way to hide video? I understand its

For some reason my iOS device can't edit a .txt file from Dropbox... silly :( Evernote for me.

I agree with this, and perhaps that is why there are no affiliate links yet, from that list (and my brief, over-the-shoulder viewing of Pinterest) I only know of some "nails" postings that either contain in the picture or in the text/commen

Interesting article, I have always been interesting in moving to Vim, and this article all but sealed the deal for me. The only problem being I don't really see how useful this would be for general notepad usage. I understand the author of

Yeah, but the indicator makes the URL a little unseemly. In Facebook's example, some companies have stopped putting their URL in commercials altogether, instead relying on "www.facebook.com/doritos" (arbitrary example), simple and clean. "w

Agreed! If you are using the RSS feeds, there should be an easy way to include us Canadians :)

The fact that the domain is "mozilla.org" means nothing. Should we remove every google.com post because it doesn't come from a Google employee but a Google+ page? Nothing is misleading here.

That looks very useful, thank you! I've signed up for a bunch of these courses, but no emails have come in yet and even the websites themselves aren't very connected, let alone the ones on different frameworks.

I see your point, but I think it is mainly because they don't want Wikipedia/etc to be de-indexed and not be #1 hit for EVERYTHING anymore. This protest is exactly that, a protest, a mere emulation of what could happen. It's not about prete

Heh, the 58 minutes ago on the text melds quite nicely with your name. Even though I realized the above poster's mistake, I quickly thought that someone had made a corin_58 to post this =p

True, they aren't exactly fair comparisons, but I find them relevant. I recall just a few days ago, there was a discussion how "everyone" should be able to program, and a lot of the value comes from applying that programming to another, per

That makes far more sense :) Thanks for the clarification, I didn't read the data closely enough.

Interesting, I always saw the uprise of social games as quite confusing, since myself as a gamer saw no need for these games. It makes sense that these Farmville/Social City/Zynga games then be targeted towards this new, untapped group. I f

I'm the first to admit I'm quite ignorant of my own history, let alone the economic history of Korea and Japan, but surely you aren't suggesting that if we keep buying stuff from China they will turn into a rich country and magically increa

I'm sorry, but where does the OP reference anything about practising interviewing? In fact, his point seems to focus more on fundamentals than anything. My takeaway was along the lines of removing the junky presentation layer (whiteboard, e

Every time I read this it frightens me, I don't have an active github account, therefore I am a failure? I'm currently working a 16 month internship before graduating with a Computer Engineering degree. My code from this work will not be av

Maybe I'm incorrect, but I recall reading (when Sony first implemented this clause) that Sony was only doing so because there was another company that provided a similar case in court, and won, and therefore they had precedent, etc. In that

Do you have a source for that Coinstar playing jangly coin sounds?? I would love to read more about that.
