Previous discussion worth checking out: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=515925 Many argued that mailing lists have provided the same features. However, I agree that twittering wouldn't have the same importance as email messages, and t

What's a Hackintosh PC w/ Ubuntu? Isn't that just a PC running Ubuntu? Or are you dual-booting with OS X? I'd recommend getting a video card with HDMI out. Just one cable to your TV or receiver. Check out the Intel G45 line.

Not seeing that behavior. History remains intact and back works fine.

I'd say his main points boil down to poor tooling and creating a solution for a problem that doesn't really exist... except that many of us do see issues with existing templating options and Haml+Sass works really well. I will concede that

The game is actually pretty fun, it's definitely the only game I tend to play at least once a day. It has a good combination of being easy to pick up but still somewhat difficult. Games are also quick, perfect when you're on a bus or taxi a

Dunia or doonya also means world in a number of Indian languages too. I would guess that it's probably a borrowed term or root across at least some Malay and Indic langauges.

How do you manage to provide such a low rate? I also can't seem to find the TechCrunch mention that's claimed at the bottom of the front page. Can you provide a link?

iPhone app anyone? Might even be a nice addition to blog-posting apps to see stats on views, etc.

San Francisco now but originally from Philadelphia. I bet the SF Bay Area probably has the highest concentration of HN readers than any other specific part of the US.

As far as I know, an upmod on a dead link or comment does not actually get recorded. Refresh the page and the count will still be at its earlier value.

Sorry, I honestly did not mean to ruin it for anyone. There's plenty in the episode worth watching that a few comments can't possibly tell.

Are you asking this question in reference to last night's Battlestar Galactica finale? It was somewhat surprising to see everyone give up technology so easily and start anew with just clothing, some food, and their own language. But I guess

Seriously, don't muck around with this... Hands down the best solution is to load up a single Windows VM and install a bunch of these standalone, sandboxed browsers from Xenocode: http://www.xenocode.com/browsers/ You can test across IE,

Our company has over 200 employees on yammer out of about 2000 employees worldwide, so I'd say our adoption is somewhat large enough for me to comment on its dynamics. Yes, I'd agree that it matches features with a mailing list but the type

Ah... I have some good memories of adapting some of these for microcontrollers while still in school. My favorite is Kernighan's method for counting set bits. It's as short and clean as the naive method and not immediately obvious: http://
