Just this weekend I helped remove a trojan from a friend's Win7 PC which Antivir did not detect. It put itself in the registry and autostarted. From there it set a system proxy to 127.0.0.1:40521 What it did with my friend's data, I can onl

My current employer's original wording: "We strongly feel that education is to be performed by every employee himself if he has an urge to learn." This quote is from our last personnel review meeting. Note: we are a Swiss company producing

I did not state the opposite. Only that in LISP I can see the truth more clearly. Obviously I love Python and Ruby - if only for their clean conciseness.

+1 for the reference of LISP and Zen. As a daily practitioner of sitting (Zazen) and walking meditation (Kinhin), I earn my money with Python and Ruby. But these days, I learn Clojure and feel myself closer to the truth with every step I ta

Vimoutliner does the same - letting me use a real text editor. With dropbox or sshfs synching is a no-brainer, too.

Great article. It's an intelligent conversation over different kind of arguments made by carnivorous and vegan people. Overall, an enlightening read. Thank you for sharing.

Considering how this submission got voted and how the discourse is going, this is a good example of how powerful the USA are. I wonder how the discourse will continue now that it's dark night in the USA and the day is starting for Europe an

Pyre, this morning, I woke up to this submission. Going trough my morning routine and walking to work, I completely felt bad. For the first time, I feel bad to be part of HN due to many illogical and harmful statements. What I'm going to sa

Incredible how many points this article gathers considering the valid arguments made in the comments[1]. There must be a lot of bad experience (or fear) with this platform. Personally, I recently had my fair share of problems with the Downl

The highlighter would have killed my interest if not for readability. It is incredibly annoying to read any decent portion of consistent text with the highlighter turned on.

Yes, it would. I don't know how many people are not logged in, though. Those pages could be cached for a minute or so.

See my answer to a similar question: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1893742 Your proposal is valid, but mine is as well. Different tasks need different approaches. Besides, "all that" implies like 2 minutes of work if you don't count

I could do that. But I need a Windows VM open at most times, and VirtualBox seemless windows unfortunately don't integrate well into tiling window managers.

For me, it is not for the sake of using the mouse. I hate that dreaded device. Using the GUI, however, spawns a couple of possibilities - being able to use custom fonts and color schemes (with more than 256 or even 16 colors) is something I

You're asking the wrong question. What would you like to do with it? Learn programming, Go paradigms, parallel paradigms, simply a new language? So many answers to so many different premises. Also, take a look at this article: http://news.

I'm concerned with the authors heart rate. I hope he's well. The article certainly has truth in it, but I would propose a rename to: Random ramblings from an Android user. Also, I propose the author might take a look into Paul Grahams essay

I concur in your assessment; this is a premise. A fundamental one, too. I declare being cought in the notion that your mind is a (pure) function of input to be self-deception, which will ultimately lead to a path of misery. If this were not
