It's just out of date. It says there have been 53 presidential elections since 1789; there have been 56.

Being unfamiliar with Countdown, I was curious about the output format; looking around, I found the author's original announcement[1], which shows the following: "For 'EOEFPRCTSN' Word prefects is 8 letters long. Wor

For that matter, write some HTML and JavaScript and make a thing that works on just about anything. Distribute it to your friends for free. "Coding" needn't be synonymous with native app development.

Fun to think about, but in the real world, no question neatly divides people, even the gender one. To quote Reddit's u/tailcalled[1], the exo-software/meatspace world is even less standardized than the software world: Falseho

This isn't as novel as this somewhat breathless article makes it out to be: same thing has been done with many retired Air Force planes, including the F-4 Phantom (drone/target version was redesignated QF-4). I do appreciate the B

This is a (poor) translation of an article that ran last weekend in the Sunday edition of a German newspaper[1]. It does not appear to contain any new information that was not already publicly available: see, for example, the Wikipedia entr

I am always amazed by what people do when they're given anonymity and collaborative text editors - rarely positively. But this seems particularly bad. Is HN really so many twelve year olds (behaviorally, if not in calendar years)?

The impracticality of this ad doesn't mean it's just Lion bait. Some ads are made solely to win awards, and are utterly impractical, but the converse doesn't hold: not all impractical ads are made solely for awards shows. In this case, the

No. In the BusinessWeek interview this quote is pulled from [1], it's clear he's referring to wanting other companies to emulate Apple's increased transparency in supplier relationships and working conditions. In a follow-up question, he sa

I'd like to see Apple's cost-benefit analysis on something like this. Patents aren't cheap; if this is as unlikely to be defensible as some people are claiming, Apple must expect a huge upside. (Decreased risk? Licensing fees?)

As Apple increasingly moves to their own chips (A4, A5, A5X, A6, A6x), I wouldn't be surprised if the bulk of this additional spending were going to SoC design. Keeping pace with Intel's ~6.5B R&D budget can't be cheap. In any case, thi

Hardcover/Paperback/ePub available now in UK; not available in the US until January 8th (3 1/2 months). It's a shame; I would have bought 2 copies as Christmas gifts. He's going to lose a lot of US sales to piracy.
