No, it's not "presented in a way that makes it obvious [that this is what the user is looking for]". It is pretending to be curated and endorsed by the site where the ad is shown, and it is displaying a fake rating pretending to be from the

It's a great pity that education hasn't actually changed a bit in the intervening time. I wonder how much of Steve Jobs' visions about the future turned out wrong (didn't happen) but in the end it didn't matter.

I'm not sure Machinarium problems stem from the Adobe toolchain. The developer says it's because they hit RAM limit with iPad 1 and load resources statically: "The memory limitations of iPad 1 (which are somewhere around 115 MB RAM per app)

Tl;dr: someone's ex-employee is now working at Google, says he gets $250k salary and he's under 30. Why is this even on HN, let alone #1?

Probably your votes do count, but you don't see the results immediately because the site uses caching extensively.

I believe it expires an year after you started using it. Do you have a reference saying it won't be available for anyone after November 2011?

"Code monkey", really? I guess Jeff Dean, for example, feels pretty good as a top code monkey at Google.

I hope G+ will evolve into a nice blogging tool by itself. The amount of G+ posts linked to from HN and other aggregators indicate the potential is there. I wish it were able to format code nicely and posts' urls included a title instead of

Circles are a privacy tool, not one to indicate relevancy. I wish Google thought about this too.

This only proves that many in node.js community and some trolls outside of it don't really understand programming at the event level, BUT insist on writing about it. First, you shouldn't judge anything by the worst of its kind. Second, why

I agree, they are sending more info than they need to, in the same way Apple didn't need to store these data for so long or back them up on a computer. In both cases I don't think there is malice, but it's good people actually check what is

This looks like requesting an approximate position assisting the gps to to get the precise position. I'd bet all agps devices do it in this way; before the confirmation dialog, because it gives the optimal user experience. If they waited fo

There is no functional app store, right? There is an app I'd make on Kindle if the distribution channel works. Now I'll make it for iPad and maybe Android tablets.

Amazon EC2 offers 68GB RAM and it's hardly an obscure offering. But they don't offer SSDs. SSD might be a solution, but we don't have any proof either way, and we also don't understand why is this problem happening.

I installed it recently and even though I tried being careful not to install anything unnecessary, it tricked me into it! There was a checkbox saying something like "accept terms and conditions and install Bing toolbar", and I only readbthe

I think the reason fluorescent lightning looks bad is not the color temperature, it's the narrow spectrum of emitted light.

I agree with you, I just say there are other similar sources of avoidable complexity.

Of course, the bulk of the valuation is in the startups that have grown enough. You still have vested interest to protect startups while they are small, this is when you add most value anyway.

Well, #2 should be "the code is a mess" which sometimes is a result from too many layers of abstraction, sometimes from improper abstractions, sometimes from lack of abstractions. In my experience novices underengineer, while experienced co

The clustered index of a table determines the order in which actual records are stored. This means that with a random GUIDs column as a clustered index you insert records in random places of the table, while with the two other options you a

Slide 6: "[Disk] throughput: 768 MB/sec on SATA 3" is misleading, consumer-grade rotating disks barely fill SATA 1 with ~70 MB/sec. SSD are faster in raw transfer, and if you have a RAID you are not limited by a single SATA channel any more
