Sounds miserable. If they'd give you a loaner for the duration it'd be a little better. I and others have recently had employees at the Apple store encourage us to utilize their no restocking fee policy to effectively get a "free" loaner la

The blind-upvoting of celebrities on HN is sometimes appalling. This comment totally sidesteps the point of the article. OP is not asking for advice. You are not being helpful here. She clearly points out "That no matter how tough I get, ho

http://example.com/page and http://example.com/page/ could be totally different pages... So .replace()'ing could silently cause unexpected breakage.

Totally agree. But the article seems to say that you should always acknowledge and support, even if you disagree. And I think that could come off as dishonest in some cases.

HyperMac's response was certainly accusatory, which is probably not good for anyone. But what if they had just said "We believe our display was not sexist, and we won't be changing anything." Is that any better than "We acknowledge that you

Totally. Regardless of whose fault it actually is, you can almost always find something that you can do differently next time.

No one has to let you work offline. You can choose to do so yourself by using offline applications if that's something you care about. But web-based applications have major advantages to the application provider. First and foremost they hav

Hey dude. Awesome demo. Wanted to be a counter-voice to all the commenters here complaining about having to resize the window to make this work. You've got lots of upvotes so clearly people like your work. The only people commenting are the

The phone comes with wireless charging built in. Looks like that's a first. Does it come with a charging pad as well? I think I'd buy a phone just for this feature.

Discuss: How do you feel about Gogo's pricing model? According to this article they charge $9.95 if they detect you're on mobile. $15.95 otherwise.

This question is totally loaded. Whether they like you or you like them (which is what the first half of the description discusses) is irrelevant. The question could be evaluated more objectively if it were just left to the headline: "Is it

From MemSQL's home page: "MemSQL writes back to disk/SSD as soon as the transaction is acknowledged in memory." From the article: "See, MemSQL also has “transaction-buffer” setting, which, in default “full durability mode” will asynchronous

You have to "easy_install readline" into your virtualenv along with "pip install ipython" to get ipython's control characters working (otherwise ipython outputs what looks like garbled text). readline is easy_install'd rather than pip'd to

A meme has to start somewhere. I actually love how divisive this is. Folks on reddit told me I'm a terrible person: http://www.reddit.com/r/facebook/comments/syov0/i_made_memek... . Honestly, why does it matter if people use a term differe

Thanks! I think so too. But... From what I've seen so far initial users will create a few images of their friends and then post them back to Facebook. But the incoming traffic from those Facebook links doesn't seem to get people signing up.

From the article, it looks like they don't actually post. They create the post, but it's up to the user to click the send button.

That's a good example and it does suck. Sounds like enterprisey java-land that we HNers love to hate on so much.
