It's like the government walking into your home and reading all your mail and listening to all your conversations. It definitely is newsworthy, it's astonishing how people rationalize any amount of spying.

I was using NewsBlur and it's damn good software. I felt like I was burning through 10s of articles a day rather than one or two good ones.

Cannot wait for the class-action suit, I wonder if everyone across the world can join if it's based in the U.S. or if they would need to create class-action suits in their home country.

It can in some cases and in some cases they should be turned into infrastructure. We've done the same with power plants and highways. And actually yes they do have that right! A corporation is given the privilege to exist by the state,

Indeed they are and you're going to get merge commits when you're continuing work on a branch and you're using branches rather than having people use separate repos (which is the superior choice). I'm amazed at how many

There's an excellent book published by No Starch Press that's full of ways to use GIMP. It's excellent because it is as comprehensive as the older Adobe Photoshop books that people used to buy.

Actually a random HN commenter is precisely the person to target, they're more likely to have technical skills and access to servers. It isn't just about surveillance it's about increased attack vectors when your information

There is actually some research work on this front because it is highly valuable to analyze some data but not have access to it. However, it's better just to encrypt everything and not be tempted by the advertising surveillance dollars

8gb RAM, great CPU. I'm playing counterstrike global offensive and civ 5 with very few problems. Lower FPS sure because the video card isn't great but it shouldn't be this bad. It was fairly decent in Win7.

And the performance of all those is just garbage in Firefox on a 3 yr old laptop and isn't that much better on mobile. They're fantastic for forcing people to buy new hardware just to look at information :|

The light-weight structure that React imposes is what lets you get rid of jquery (and much of the plugins) and Handlebars/Mustache special syntax. React removes a layer of syntax and favours using plain old JavaScript.

I'm glad they separated out react from the DOM. This makes it much more likely that people will export the ideas and the API of React to other languages. The API is sane for data-flow programming and the lifecycle is well-defined. Th

Indeed, it's something you can really appreciate on a university campus where most everything you need as a student is within 10 minutes of walking. Amazing how easily we give that up for a fat paycheck and a mortgage.
