Absolutely, but the bar for news is low. As long as people recognize something and then think "Oh!", it's good enough for release. "Pole dancing" may be a hobby for some folks, but it still is uncommon enough to be

I didn't mean to make an apology, just pointing out that the logic that is applied as "proof" isn't coherent proof at all.

I don't like it either, but: "Somewhat strange information related to a story that's big right now" is quite a desirable commodity in the news business. It's a perfect opener ("Have you heard this candid fact

In a conversation with another developer, we debated a development that could be "a project" of some form. We disagreed on one thing, though: My conclusion was "might be interesting, but I'm not sure if this would be use

Indeed, that makes it even worse. Time and time again I see people scoffing at Stallman (and others like him) as "radicals" who do nothing but impede our discourse with their outlandish fantasies, trying to center it around their

That one hit very close to home for me. Just the other day, I showed AngularJS to somebody. His main concern was about how it would perform on the iPad mini. True story.

This is proper advice and if you're in a position to adhere to it, do. However, most of the time, you are more likely in a position where you try to convince somebody (who contracts you to do something for him) to adhere to it. My pet peeve

At first, I read "Stephen Fry reveals he will attempt suicide in [year]". My mind racing as to "why, why would he ever want to do that?". After having understood the actual title, I'm now unsure which of the two is more confusing or unset

To that person, yes. The question is whether or not we're cool with that. Most of the time, yep. Some other times, nope.

Conversely, you restate the typical inability to look beyond a minor layer of snark for the benefit of not even getting to the interesting points. And yes, I've been there myself multiple times. What I'm trying to say is - both things reall

Firefox may be changing things, but comparing it to Safari must be sort of a joke. Just my opinion, of course, but I never found myself as lost in FF as the article describes. Conversely, every time I'm stuck with Safari I am frustrated b

Obligatory snark: That intro video had a serious case of vocal fry. While looking at all this, I was mostly considering the potential privacy implications. Then again, with the amount of stuff we push online these days, it's seems somewhat

Then this comment of yours doesn't make much sense: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5802911 Do you still think this means "fuck-all"? (And again: Just trying to get a clear picture of what it is you're saying.)
