Those dwarfs seem to get even less cancer than you would expect given the reduced number of cells. Also, on a related note, there's Peto's Paradox about why cancer rates are similar across species despite vastly different sizes (mice, human

http://www.idlewords.com/2005/04/dabblers_and_blowhards.htm Probably worth linking to here. While I enjoy pg's writing and I think the essays convey a good message in spirit, I do think there's quite a substantial populist aspect to some

I normally wouldn't touch anything that has Florian Mueller's name attached with a ten foot pole, and I certainly wouldn't bet any money on there being a connection between this theory and the settlement talks. On the other hand, that's not

Yeah, and I know that for every feature someone cites for why they like Vim, someone will point out how the same thing can be accomplished in Emacs (and vice versa). But it's often just superficially equivalent, as is (part of) this list. 1

This makes some fair points, but I think this also suffers from some of the general disconnect between techies and the general web browsing populace (who probably provide the largest fraction of ad clicks, by the by). After watching some no

The top comment on a post about how to become a better programmer effectively amounts to "Don't try to be a better programmer, instead do X, Y, and Z because that will make more money"? I remember you saying somewhere that you're into optim

Opera has tab stacks where you drop tabs on top of each other, which groups them together. Then you can collapse and expand the groups. I don't use it that much (mostly because there are no shortcuts and command line interface for adding to

Blizzard, strangely enough, is probably in the perfect position to start a successful virtual currency. In fact, they might just do it by accident.

Hey, are you hiring for Ableton? I recently applied, but didn't get past AClip and I'm of course very curious why. I understand you don't give feedback, but if you have some idea, from HN reader to HN reader, I'd appreciate it a lot. Email

Oh, when I said it's a problem I meant it's a problem I have with it. Unless it's an event that I can influence while it is happening (and I think now that the major outcry happened, none of the talk here will make much of a difference), I'

I've been following this despite myself for a while. It does a pretty good job at illustrating a problem with this instant update news you get so much these days. Too much thought and words spent on intermediate situations. It's almost cert

If you like short throw keyboards you might want to give Cherry a try. I don't think they are very popular in the US (pretty big in Europe). I haven't found anything better than the Cherry eVolution STREAM XT and I try out every keyboard I
