Now trending from a more valid source: http://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/1cerrp/boston_mar... During disasters such as this, I appreciate reddit's scale (and diversity) for up-to-date information in the comments.

Seems that some other, far better source, should have replaced it by now. There were a few up-in-coming, but they too vanished.

Why do the top links on reddit stop leaving the front page? This link was #1 for about 10 minutes: http://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/1cen7i/explosion_... and now has vanished, along with all other sponsored links. A horrible trag

I enjoyed thinking about what Nabokov was assigning to his students: "Leo Tolstoy, Nikolai Gogol, Marcel Proust, James Joyce, Jane Austen, Franz Kafka, Gustave Flaubert, and Robert Louis Stevenson" Looks like I'll be reading Metamorphosis(

The part at the end: "On a separate note, I feel like we could be doing more to help YC companies. We're in awe of what you've built over there at the Y and we'd love to grab a coffee and talk more about how we could be helpful to both the

Why not ultima 7? Ultima8 wasn't as interactive as ultima7 imho.

I have the exact same experience. Ultima7 made me a developer, and was my first dive into editing bash scripts (that fucker was impossible to get working in windows95). Enabling the debug mode and hacking on gumps was my favorite pass tim

Sharing an office with these guys has allowed us to try our their TF servers for the last weeks and it has been amazing. Trying to get 8 people (5 of which who are not technically savvy) to play together has always been a huge pain for TF2

"They are liars, shady business, IP violators and are downright dangerous." This is completely prejudice! You've never met Install Monetizer, and don't know if they participate in the same activities as the companies that you're referring

The animations when switching a to a new word are very jarring and distracting. Perhaps a more continuous method (like a tape roll that's constantly moving) would help with the transitions?

That's a pretty good example, but why is description even a modal? It looks so content rich, seems like it deserves the full screen.

"Stackable" After checking out the live demo, I have no idea how "stacking" modals could make a good user interface.

So exciting! We were able to remove about 400 lines of shit S3 code and an ugly flash widget when moving to filepicker.io. Great to see them adding so many services.

Whenever I read an article like this, I immediately check out the designer's work afterwards. http://www.hubspot.com/pricing/ This page, does not really follow "Conserve attention at all costs" when there's a 4x7 pricing grid with confusi

It's so scary to think that our entire startup almost died with this glitch. Our enterprise customers use our product in the mornings... this happened at 9-fucking-am right during our peak hours. Obviously it's our fault for not having a r

I'm really happy to see more tools coming out to take some of the effort out of setting up / deploying your development environment. It's refreshing to get more time to actually code rather than administrate systems. Awesome site design

I'm so thankful that our customers don't want to deal with DWG files. I had investigated it a bit for our original prototype... it was not pleasant.

Thanks as well! We're waiting for a customer to actually request an android tablet version. We're probably going to port our software in a "lite" version to android focusing on the phone first then the tablet. Thankfully android tablets
