It's very strange how people approach this story. The entire mentality of "He's still homeless so obviously this was a waste of time." is dumb. Yes, there are multiple issues that need to be dealt with when you talk abou

Another use of this trick - use these unicode spaces as white space between two words. So a single class of ".super cool", when applied to the html, would look like you were applying two separate classes.

Aceyalone would be a great addition. I'd also like to see Chali 2na and the whole Jurassic5 crew.

I wouldn't even say the study proved that point. The fact that the older fiddles couldn't be adjusted for sound optimizations while the new ones could makes a huge impact on the study - it invariably unlevels the playing field.

Ditto. Was hoping it was something I could use on my iPad.

Yeah, it's kind of surprising how few people realize the police are also a lost-and-found. Just give it to the police and let it be their problem.

I find these funny. Not helpful to anyone at all, but funny. Article says: "Sure, you might have implemented a new feature "in less than a month", but why did you start in the first place?" 90% of developers reply with:

There is a very strange obsession with how other people spend their money. This article basically decries wealthy people using their money to try to earn more money rather than giving their money away to people who need more money. All the

This comment needs an asterisk that I'm going to provide. * Your results may vary. Actual numbers largely depend on how the popup is implemented (when it shows up, how often it shows up, etc). And even in the cases where you get increa

If you're wondering why there's no information regarding this thing, it seems to be in relation to his appearance at SXSW. I'll only assume that this would make sense if you were actually at the event.

First, you're ignoring the fact that the woman specifically runs a listserv for people looking for work. That's what the woman DOES. She helps people find jobs (supposedly). If what you do is help people find jobs, do not be surpr

Well, my dad was a chemist... so, yeah. We did science museums and such a lot. Plus we'd watch a lot of the Discovery channel back when it was more science and less reality t.v.

For a while, I was the same. I got an Associate degree and started working. Though I eventually went back to school (online) and finished the Bachelor degree.

I think it's useful. Last time I had to do furniture shopping, I had to keep going to a bunch of different sites to see who had what I wanted and what their price ranges were. I also like the grouping of items based on cost range, as t

Middleman is actually a really great piece of software. I've used it on multiple projects, and it's really great for what it does. When all you have to do is hand a set of static files off to the client, Middleman allows you to us

Ugh. First, the title of this article is wrong because in the article itself the author says it IS -1/12, just not the way the video proved it. And, yes, I know in math that HOW you get the answer is somehow seen as being more importan

Hey, look, propaganda! First off, I love the liberal summaries/restatement of the advocates of code.org. You have in no way misinterpreted their obviously sinister underlying meanings. It's also cool that you referenced a quote fr

Thrun's new objective - to give industry a voice in the education process, is a valid objective. Most of the research shows that what people learn in school only contributes in a minor way to what they do - they learn most of what they

And if they expand their business and go into more markets and become a technology company like Amazon (which started by only selling physical books online) or Google (who started with just a search engine), then how would the decision to n

I posted a reply here before HN crashed but it seems to not have been brought back when HN came back up. Here's the gist: it's not that posting an opinion online is hubris, it's what your opinion entails and is based on. You

The problem with posts like these is that you assume you know what's going on in the head of another person. That's a dangerous game to play. Also, just because someone makes a decision that's different from the decision you

It will be interesting to see this case go to court. Unless I'm not reading the article correctly, it sounds like all they have are (1) an email came through about a bomb threat and (2) that a student was using Tor at the time the emai

Well, it's not that others made "bad" decisions, they just made a different decision (to not pursue a tech job). Tech jobs aren't the only jobs that hold value; someone has to make the coffee, repair the buildings, do th

Can you explain why men should feel uncomfortable with that video? I'm a man, and I watched it, and felt zero feelings of discomfort about toned men in revealing underwear and junk. If anything, the absurdity of it all was pretty enter

So, a few things. I'll start with the nit-picky. I think the Blurred Lines parody should be removed. I've never seen it before, but decided to watch it (discreetly as I could at work), and I don't see the author's issue

Yeah, I'm a bit confused as well. It seems that the author doesn't believe that there's an "overall satisfaction" level made up of smaller bits of satisfaction pieces. Yes, the long commute lowers your satisfaction
