I tried implementing it for my blog’s pagination, but I definitely don’t see the zero-second latency Google report in the video, and it doesn’t seem any faster at all. Can you tell me if it’s actually working from using the pagination at th

Exactly. It’s why I hope people will see this not so much as a new frontier of telecommunication nor telecommuting, but “telepresence” . It’s not a medium; it’s a physical proxy. I hope people will see it as more than a convenience for wor

I would consider it an outright bug, if that were the case, so I wouldn’t worry about that. I haven’t added any photos to my favourites, so I can’t test it for you, alas. @YahooCare are very quick to reach out, if you direct any questions a

I wrote a thing about how your favourites are public and searchable with not opt-out on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5756487 . Other than that, Flickr is one of the most privacy-conscientious services I know—which is why it too

I just thought of a way to check: archive.org. It does indeed show that favourites were available from the user page: http://web.archive.org/web/20130501115607/http://www.flickr.... . As a result, I removed the paragraph from the OP. This

Indeed; it’s been around for ages in Opera, and all you have to do to use it is press Space at the end of a page to go to the next one. I think they planned to use the attributes to support native swipe gestures on touch devices, but that n

This is a fantastic comment I hope stays at the top. After reading it, I feel the reports I have read and watched are misrepresenting at least some of the circumstances of this case. Are there any sober run-downs with a full account of all

I’ll make an exception to being vague about my personal details (although this is my personal HN account) and chime in with something eerily relevant. At my school, we literally had a chemistry teacher who went by the name Bombe Bo ( Bob th

As a developer, this bears repeating: “Free” does not mean a single thing from a legal licensing perspective. You have to include an explicit license with your “free” work, otherwise developers wouldn’t—or at least shouldn’t—

Doesn’t support HTML entities by the look of it: http://pygm.us/yq5q5x0N . I love the design of it, though. Talk about thinking outside the box. :)

I was once at a guest lecture by Bjarne Stroustrup (creator of C++ for those who don’t know), and during Q&A, someone in the audience asked him how he felt about the fact that his work was used to kill people. (The rationale behind the

Back when Evernote was hacked, I got the idea of creating a draft of the kind of response I would prefer in a case like this. I also intended to write a simple website script that could generate a statement. Things came up, and the gist has

Even at the beginner level, Travis CI is great. Granted, it requires knowledge of git. It’s a really effortless way of automated testing, and you can add more and more specificity to it, as you develop your project. And the merge validation

I tried searching, but I couldn’t find a single thing about accessibility on this page. As someone who does not rely on accessibility tools, I have a lot of problems writing and debugging accessibility-compatible services, though I do try.

The majority of what makes for a good forum community is the community management, not the community software. Good forum software mainly just removes obstacles, but it doesn’t create a good community alone. And I think the thing I disagree
