I could barely read the page at all because every time I scrolled, the content disappeared. Sometimes it came back, sometimes not. Grumble grumble grumble...!

I'm not really in the design universe that much any more, but the successor to flat design seemed to be material design. It lives somewhere between skeuomorphism and flat design. Any designers care to comment what the new/next hot

I have lived with essentially 0 social media presence for about seven years now, and I can say with certainty that my life is better without it. Facebook et al create an atmosphere where a relationship is defined by clicking a button that s

I once made a comment like this to my father. His response was: "that feeling is a luxury of having grown up with a plentitude of stuff". And I think he's got a point. It's really easy to get rid of stuff if you know tha

Yep, I remember this. I used to use SoundCloud for everything. I built a following, a reputation, and then SoundCloud tried to commit suicide. They signed this stupid deal, they removed groups, and they tried to shove Soundcloud Go down e

What does this mean for Brexit? If Theresa May is kicked out, can/will it be declawed? Can it be reversed? Also, can someone explain to me the steps by which parties in Britain create coalitions (or whatever) and then put a new PM in p

I don't think it's right to say that people "just forget the negative stuff". To me, the difference in getting older is that I can assign meaning to my suffering. Whet you're suffering as a kid, it seems pointless a

Meta-commentary: This is one of the more fascinating threads I have seen on HN. It seems to parallel many of the problems with political discourse in the world today - maybe it's always been like this, but I'm not old enough to kn

You can do this, but probably not with midi because it would be hard to find. Check out Echonest. There are ways to pull immense amounts of audio information out of songs...

This is a fun analysis. One of the flaws with comparing only lyrics is that there are some songs for which lyrics are not the source of diversity in the music. For example, Send Me On My Way is very repetitive in its lyrics but has lots of

This is a huge win for global order. Had France elected Le Pen, the EU would likely have collapsed. The next important election is the German election, which appears to be leaning more liberal than those in the US, Britain, and France. So l
