Is there an announcement of some kind of change? Are they still owned by Google? Or is this the thing where sometimes existing solutions will hit the front page of HN? :)

"And before you know it you'll be bad at 25 languages, instead of good in one or two that allow you to do what needs to be done." I'm not sure that follows. Even if you choose to specialise in one stack, it is healthy to

I have definitely experienced the case multiple times online where I have been denied something without a German Personalausweis or a passport. In my case, as a UK citizen I don't have a national ID card, so Passport must do, but the o

People ask this every time someone releases something written in Golang advertised as such. ;) As a non-Go programmer, with absolutely no inclinations to get into it in the near future, I will happily accept a fast, self-contained Go binary

Well, I do use public transport (indeed, living in a city it can often be the fastest mode), and I couldn't care less as the end user whether someone paid for the transport data... I want to get from A to B. So here's a concrete r

Can't speak for the GP, but I always switch to HERE Maps when I visit Leipzig, the transit info is way better for routing. HERE is pretty good throughout Germany too.

Have you tried asking them? It feels vaguely ridiculous to expect hard data and facts on things of "people told me". I know I have female friends who have told me similar stories, but I couldn't for the life of me remember ho

The other issue I've seen is that people that jump quickly into veganism from climate change reasons alone, is that in those moments of "weakness" later on, they're much more likely to relapse, and go straight back into

From what I've read the coil whine is related to having the keyboard backlight on. Is that important enough to trade-off for the noise? I always turn off backlights when using a computer on battery anyway (it's not like I'll

In isolate, this is an absurd sentence. If I said "I don't think we should [do horrible thing to group x]", then you could easily retort with "yeah, but if I disagree with you I'm against group x?" in a "s

I just... don't understand this mindset at all. To all intents and purposes, egg is an entirely utilitarian ingredient in mayonnaise, as an emulsifier for the oil and water. In the past, this would be our only emulsifier readily availa

It's a shell script. If you're architecturing more than that in your shell script, I would suggest that you shouldn't be doing this in a terminal in the first place. And if you're just trying to click links for a quick s

I have nothing against Cursive, and in fact, have been eying it from afar. But this kind of comment is just needlessly dismissive with little in the way of substance, as far as I can tell. Would you like to expand on what these features tha

Twitter does this with every URL, Paul Irish did not (as you can see by the fact the link text is the actual URL). It's so that there's more room in the Tweet for the rest of the message.
