After I wrote that, I realized I had written about experts in History. Any well-studied historian is as much, if not more, interested in historiography as the actual historical record. And I know that programming experts are the same. It is

HN frowns on the single sentence comment that does nothing but concur, so there ought to be an upvote which a parent can give that says, I agree, nice retort, I modify my concern and cheers, mate.

"love it or leave it" is only a proper response in a regime that seeks to protect the status quo.

I treasure and trust StackOverflow for my programming questions precisely because of the elitist, purifying attitude. I'm confident the answers are vetted and the best has risen to the top. I'm a self-taught programmer with only a few years

For that depression that is environmental, and caused by factors like stress, isolation and boredom, the internet would be a welcome salve. Engagement on facebook and HN reduce isolation and boredom.

There's a conspicuous blimp that flies about sixty miles to the north. I'm not sure of drones. I camp out there a lot and have never seen them. [edit] it's an aerostat, not a blimp: Fort Huachuca is about fifteen miles to the north and "is

This is the border in Arizona, south of Sierra Vista. I often drive the international road and rarely see anyone else...not even border patrol. One does not need a catapult. http://postimage.org/image/wtie29yrb/

Thanks, that almost works for me. I like the notion of 'unobligated' in that it stresses that, for this instance, in school one's readers are obligated. With 'volunteer' I don't feel that condition is evoked; in fact, I can imagine people

This is interesting...makes me feel out of touch. I wasn't aware that it was on the decline because the only place I really use it are at the coffeehouse and home. Are there stats on this? What's causing it? Years ago I remember there were

I look forward to a site that integrates most forums/networks. I don't see the value of the visual based browsing though. I drive a '90 Montero. When I need a part, I'm searching by word. Would love to see digitized diagrams from service ma

After Vector Calc, I wanted to go back to the fundamentals, to understand instead of remembering. I came across Silvanus Thompson's 1910 reprinted textbook Calculus Made Easy [1], and it was hands down the best primer on any topic I've delv

I completely agree. I found math later too, at 29, and had it been taught better it might have clicked with me earlier. The only academic program I've experienced that got right to the crux of its execution was History: but only because I f

Painting, modelling and theory; writing, reading & comprehension. These are practice. Getting your painting into a gallery or your book into the hands of an unobligated reader - that is execution. In Civil Engineering, we ran problem af

I work as a civil engineer and would be miserable without scroll wheel zoom in CAD. I automatically use it in maps. I assume your concern is that it can scroll the page and the map. If that's the case, then the wheel zoom is not the poor UI

The large amount of profit may inspire attention, but it doesn't correlate with the extent of lease violation (to my mind). The lease likely mentions guests generally, not charging for them. Which would mean CouchSurfing.org is just as prob

A great secondary benefit of this advice is that you're more forgiving to your body. Push yourself to hard too fast and you'll be ignoring the track and back in the weight room recovering from something like patellar tendinitis. (In which c

I don't understand why the amount is important. He did not cause $20,000 in damages to the landlord. At most, he did $20,000 in damages to the hotel down the street.

Shocked? He wrote: "My landlord had caught on..." and "The Airbnb printout looked idiotically flagrant..." He seems quite aware of his position.

I've been building a small web app that complements my employer's industry without really being what I was hired for...so I was torn about whether he would seek to take possession. I ultimately showed the app to my employer but not before h
