"Let her pay? Nope. Way too much pride for that. It’s also the most unromantic thing you can do on a first date as a man outside of spitting on her, and I wasn’t about to spoil the evening." I stopped reading there. WTF is with this brainwa

The day the customizability of FF is removed will be a sad day for me. Hopefully someone will create a fork.

I would hire anyone regardless of the source of their training as long as they are capable of demonstrating proficiency, a firm grasp on the core concepts and a willingness and determination to learn.

I recommend using #!/usr/bin/env python3 as the shebang for portability[1] reasons if you intend to distribute the programs. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shebang_%28Unix%29#Portability

Therein lies the power of the oppressors: the public attention span to any one subject is severely limited. I admit to also getting tired, but I wish it weren't so, because it doesn't seem we've accomplished much. The petition has stalled a

Accelerated GPU drivers have existed for linux for ages. I was playing Counter Strike and Quake on linux in 2000 or so. I speak mostly about nvidia cards as I've only owned those. Maybe others can chime in about ATI/AMD but even those have

If that's the case, I find it counter intuitive: he barely moves the upper part of the mechanism while the lower part spins like crazy.

Apparently you don't know the meaning of the word "sure" which you used plenty. I didn't accuse you of anything so I don't have to prove anything. You told us you were sure of some things and I asked you what made you to be sure. I was genu

I wonder if that's what Aaron felt when he asked for help: that HN had formed a mob against him. That's certainly the impression I get from reading the original HN thread (that HN turned into a mob against Aaron), yet there's not a single c

That's your defense? "He didn't know!"? Try that in a court of law.

Are you referring to moral responsibility or legal responsibility? Let's make the distinction. And how do _you_ know who bears and doesn't bear _absolutely_ no responsibility? I, for one, do not know what responsibility Ed bears, moral or o

Has it been established that black barring HN would cause copycat suicides? Maybe the amount of attention Aaron is getting on HN (top stories all about him) is sufficient cause for copycat suicides. Should we all stop upvoting stories for f

> The stigmatization against suicides as something dishonorable has to end. I agree completely. Someone who has hope does not commit suicide, black bar or not. Perhaps we, as a society, should work towards a world that will not leave an

In that vain of thought, one could argue that many actions should not be done because of possible, unintended, consequences. Perhaps some software should not be written? Perhaps even code you wrote will have unintended consequences? Where d

I don't know whether I'll be thinking of his legacy or not in 6 months time. For me his legacy is not technical, it's personal. His series "Raw Nerve" gave me courage and hope. For this, I do care and feel sadness.

Is Aaron's death any less regrettable because it was a suicide rather than a car accident? I don't think so. The black bar signifies sadness for the loss of someone, it's not a political statement. I, for one, would like HN to be black barr

Thank you for submitting this. I enjoy articles which challenge popular "wisdom" very much, especially those related to health. I hope one day we'll have a computer system to validate all of science's assumptions and when one of those assum
