Let me be more clear. You mean, like employees or contractors under the direction of the FBI hacking sites, at least Linode, while 'investigating' HTP?

This is one of the major differences between "pro" photographers and "amateurs". Pros will be vicious about editing. They have a limited number of opportunities to build their brand and reputation and to convey their message. What I learn

I was semi-joking. I would not have been surprised in the least if he had invented them at some point. Between him and Alan Kay, you've got about 90% of everything covered. :-)

You mean, how much did the 'mole' see/hear/do before getting booted from HTP?

Revealing specific information would identify an asset in the program. For example, if they confirmed that the warheads were made of thin sheet aluminum over wooden forms, there are a reasonably limited number of people who would legitimat

The creator is dyslexic and the site discusses a study done among dyslexic students at Uni Twente. Given the other comments on the thread that indicate that there are already free clones available, I'd say that it's probably reasonable for

That's one argument for skeuomorphic interfaces. In the way of etoys/scratch/other-alice/etc. programming environments, perhaps this approach would result in people scripting the making of pizzas or skull caps or whatever drudgery they have

Destructuring links? I'm sure Ted Nelson specified those somewhere.

Remember when those were the good options? :-)

Now, when I am annoyed at what I believe to be an absurd default setting, I'm going to clench my fists and grumble,"Stallman!"

Shh, economics. This is why people in developing (or not developing) regions will continue to use mobile phone minutes as a medium of exchange rather than adopting btc. There are a number of effective "we're gonna change the world" platfor

It's particularly interesting given the extreme fractionizability of the btc. One would expect transactions in the extremely small range, especially as the precision can be increased even further if btc increases in value. It is designed t

Well, you should redo it in forth just to confuse everyone else. :-)

You may want to look in other areas. I was "collecting" watches[1] for years before I realized that I wanted to make watches. Because there was a 'purpose', I found myself with a desire to do more electronics projects to support my hobb

This is why tldr.io is useful. I can get my HN lazy-tabs down to 40 per visit.

Actually, that would be Polish, not Reverse Polish.

I read 2x2 and thought,"that's not a board!" and wondered why s/he was cutting it lengthwise to get 1x2. If it was dressed, that 1 might be very small indeed.

I think 'abstraction' is the wrong term anyway. It has become a go-to term for "make the ugly go away."

Isn't this what a limited beta is for?

The Octane2, much like the Indigo2, was a solid refinement of its predecessor. The skins were still pretty fragile, though.

It was absolutely financially /significant/, but you're correct that the software support helped shore up investor confidence. Remember at the time that Apple had been running at a loss for the last year or two before this and had started t

I was referring to the workstation market, where Sun and SGI were stitching up that market. GX, LX, and Élan were arriving on the market when NeXT only had ND. 3dfx was, for obvious economic reasons, not a slice of the solid, high, or extr
