Thats fantastic. However github would be better served if the github.com put the tab focus right inside the command bar. That way their would be no need for /launch at all...

it would be incredible if the command bar could be integrated into my chrome omnibar... with the prefix github.com: that way i could naturally use the power of the commandbar in my browser without having to go to github first

Whilst I would agree the Apple has not proven itself in the Big Data field. I would argue that Microsoft is a worthy competitor. They have an excellent Research department and have hardware experience (more so than facebook). They do have

Might I suggest different utilizing desktop management? A mode where application aren't closed as aggressively just opened in a fresh new desktop? This allows the user to abstract away the other programs and focus on those in the new desk

I agree with typicalrunt entirely - its not that men are not incapable of design/ empathy, its the lost of opportunity of not having including women who are equally able

Why? Good software involves good design (both for UX / code), good design requires empathy, and without women in the industry you are loosing out on the diversity, design and empathy that women can bring to the table. That is "why" I think

One trend I dislike, is the forced use of voice recognition in these cases. A machine as powerful as Watson should not be limited to my mobile device, it should be available via all my computing platforms and should be able to interpret te

This is a great tutorial - I used this earlier this year to create a simple zip code API http://www.zippopotam.us For bottle.py inspiration / implementation you can see https://github.com/samirahmed/Zippopotamus-Cloud

As a current Boston University student, in a major with one of the highest starting salaries - I can certainly say that 200k is truly not worth the money regardless of major. Any student not on scholarship, who is paying that full amount, i

can you share your windows autohotkeys?

I would also recommend hiding the auto-suggest right hand side bar until everything is loaded and then sliding it into view when ready. I suggest this for 2 reasons, 1. I initially clicked the song and the first thing I noticed, before I t

most speeding occurs on highways. Several states already use planes to monitor speeding on highways. The only difference is these planes will be unmanned...

Synthetic Biology is in great need for computational tools and expertise to help advance the field. Platforms like ClothoCAD are great places for those interested in open-source software and syn-bio applications. http://www.clothocad.org/

Microsoft - a company that is making such a big push with touch in Windows 8 should be the most interested in this company. Tactile touch has the ability to transform tablets from casual and convenience devices to the next generation of com

i wonder if this could be used for lie detection

great idea, makes highlighting points and presenting / discussing design over the internet very easy. Will use this in the future.

that was my first instinct too, but a search for 'new.ycombinator.org' on the .COM yields so many links. I wonder why pg doesn't enable oauth for it

very cool! but it spams my webhistory with every keystroke i think, renders my back button useless.

Has anyone found any keyboard shortcuts for using it?

Entirely agree. That video is the key to getting me to spend more time on the website. Without it, you might as well have a giant back button

Certainly agree. Not even a link to a static project description page (as far as I could tell) I couldn't find a single picture with a quick browse through. (I know this is superficial) but no screenshot/screencast/videos is bad marketing

The white box is misleading. I thought it was a speech box, indicating comments, but it is an upvote indicator. Would be nice to disambiguate with an upward arrow shape. Otherwise looks nifty.

Looks great! Except for that ascii arrow which looks out place. I would recommend filling that white space with a more pleasant design > Add your first contest here --->

To implement such an approach HN users should not be made aware of the fact that more weighting is given to rare-voters. Otherwise users will change the manner in which they vote, making frequent voters want to vote less and discouraging pa

One note: The summary email after ending a session gives me times in PT. I assume meetings.io knows my location (if they know my weather) so it would be better if it use my local time. Other than that this is one of the most exciting apps I
