I didn't realize there was a fight. As far as I remember, YouTube allows uploading any aspect ratio you can dream of and they automatically add the black bars for you. Maybe you're comparing to Vimeo? YouTube's video player i

Or they should have used Masonry in the first place :-/ Now that I have no reason to play the 1:1 game, I can go back to loooong photos that work better everywhere else.

Wondering the same. I got a weird Google Chat message through Hangouts a few months ago. Tried to uninstall Hangouts but it's a "system app" and can't uninstall it.

For clarification, this is the Settings option -inside- Hangouts, not Android settings. Contrary to the NPR article, somebody further down this page said this hack may affect Messenger users too. So I'm sticking with Hangouts!

NPR said the Messaging app is safe... ?

Seems to me Google could just update the "Hangouts" app to handle this, assuming people download the update. Yes or no? I think news articles are saying you have to wait for your service provider to issue an update? Sounds like ba

I've been saying that for a while. I bet Google could dominate the enterprise market with HUD data while everyone else is playing around with Unity3D gaming apps. Of course AR gaming will be huge but data doesn't need to be 3D to

I never actually played it but I know what you mean about macros. Before UO there was a game called "Flash Attack" for Galacticom BBS and it was a really fast-paced multiplayer game, you had to have a good macro setup in place jus

IMO it was the Internet. C and Pascal dominated till 1994, then Java books were everywhere. I loved TP5 (the manual was awesome) but dropped everything to learn Java which promised the world: write once, run everywhere and Internet applicat

What browser are you using to turn off CSS?

I figure a large percentage of HN users are technically sophisticated, and that point of view is as interesting to me as the non-technical point of view.

Does it annoy you when unstyled content displays before CSS loads?

If I was looking for a replacement, maybe I'd look for an RSS aggregation plugin for WordPress? Personally, I have my own PHP code that will slice and dice feeds however I want. I got about halfway through building a "news blend&q

I have to agree, but I was looking to limit the "cost" by making it easy and fun. I could see the demographics, most of them had time to kill. And with young people, you never know what will be cool, fashionable or viral. Easy-to-

Back in the Myspace era, I was bored and created an easy encoder-decoder for people to play with. It worked with Twitter, Facebook and Myspace (cut-paste your encoded text) because it only used basic characters. As you can't see in thi

Same here, I'm back to using a text file. I can access it from all my devices with DroidEdit. For todos, any UI is a distraction, but that's just me.

Good to know, thanks Hacker News. Better "dependency solving" is appreciated. Though I stopped using Fedora, I assume this will make it to CentOS eventually.

Forcing trains to slow for turns is not a complex engineering problem, IMO. Here's my safer, low-tech solution that wouldn't cost billions of dollars and wouldn't be vulnerable to hackers. Before the turn, pound a "stake

Uh, yeah but didn't Cyanogen recently announce they're working with Microsoft? But maybe that's just a coincidence.

Just a 2 cent tip: For interviews, it helps to respond to their answers. Feels more like a conversation. I realize it's easy to email 20 questions and call it a day. Been there, done that. In my experience, if you ask three questions y
