Never heard of a definition of DIY that did not include building something of professional quality. I think it’s as simple as the name implies: you can do it all by yourself.

Different issues. People tend to dislike the fact that we charge prisoners outrageous rates for calls, etc. And I don’t remember prison guard unions being the ones principally pushing for 3 strike laws. Most of those went through when it wa

From reading the comments, I really wonder how many HN Users are tax evaders. I see the top two comments are “the tax code is too complicated, we shouldn’t be going after tax evaders” and “this isn’t actually a big problem.” If the governme

Everything he's using is a Google product. If you want a 4k computer display, none of the options he listed will work. I'll stick with what I've got.

Pointing out that Fox News is not actually a reputable news source is simply stating a fact. It was germane because the other news sources are mostly regarded as legitimate news organizations. Pointing out that Fox News is not and yet is ve

This test seems incorrect to me. Do you have any sources or was there any research that was done that could back up something like this? Are there actual tests for testing people that are functional autistics? Seems like it should be possib

Can't wait, I'm sure I'll learn a lot from this.

Wow, even if it was only 15k developers (which it wasn't) that is still very bad. Does he have to screw over 1 million people? 1 billion people? Seems like a very low bar we're setting here.

Wow, that Mountain View place looks like a real bad deal. Will need to do a complete renovation there. Judging by the date it was built and the condition it was in, you're probably going to have to look at at least repairing the founda

The best way to afford housing in the bay area is to have already bought when the market was low. You can use that money to put in for a 3 bedroom house in or very close to SF. Unfortunately, it's too late to do this for anyone interes

AFAIK there really isn't a story for clients to configure how to view the content. It is really just a way of removing bloat on pages, so they render faster on mobile.

Homeowners also get a lot of deductions too. In general you end up paying more owning vs renting, but you want to make a good investment when purchasing a home. So, in the end you typically end up ahead when owning, unless you didn't m

This would be a breakthrough device if nobody invented the smartphone. If I want a universal remote, why don't I just use the device I have to carry around with me all the time?

Wow, techcrunch has gotten really bad lately. Now, they are just showing job postings instead of doing hard hitting journalism.

Oakland was one of the highest growing housing markets last year. Prices will continue to climb as SF continues to become more unaffordable. I'd say most cities surrounding SF are safe investments. It may be too late now to get a good

Wow, this is really something. I never really thought about it and assumed that paredit would be as good as it gets. But, this seems to show that is not the case. I really need to check this out.

If interested in the CIA, you should read "Legacy of Ashes". That book documents how the CIA's biggest flaw through the years has been incompetence.

Of course not. Many of the documents still in circulation stipulate that houses cannot be sold to black people. That was the law for many districts and FHA policy prior to the civil rights movement.

It seems like the author is conflating two things, Lisp not being popular and there being many Lisps. As others have stated, the reason there are many Lisps is because it is very easy to make a Lisp. You can check on github for Lisp impleme

I found this script a couple weeks ago and was very useful for the minimal docker image I was creating. In some cases you have certain constraints when accessing s3 and this script is helpful in those cases.

I haven't really run into this issue myself. Maybe I'm younger than others, but the two cars I've purchased from dealerships have been done mostly online. The only part that could be nerve-wracking is turning down all the up-

I still use pentadactyl, even though it isn't being supported AFAIK. These kind of customizations are not possible on chrome. This is why I never switched even when it was cool.

In terms of revenue, they would still be making much less if they didn't charge for the expansion. You can see most of the revenue came from the initial release of the original and expansion. If the expansion were given for free it may
