This is the first use of server-side js that has made a lick of sense to me as anything other than an experiment. I think in terms of security and flexibility the API may wind up being a lot more complex than it is now. Maturity aside, clea

The poster didn't sound like he's in such bad shape and doesn't deserve to be labeled as diseased. If he decides he needs that, sure, it should be taken dead seriously. He may not. Just let the man live his life and decide what he can or

But you see what I'm saying? "quality of life" is an illusion because danger exists in those situations. my point is not hypervigilance, as you say. my point is... enjoy your life because it could be very, very short

Some cultures (US, in my personal experience) spend quite a bit of time convincing themselves that terrible things can't happen to them. For instance, I could be hit by a bus tomorrow in a freak accident and suffer a more painful end than

xkcd reference aside, hristov's question is totally legitimate. sudo is intended to run administrative commands. normally you would use a "physical" group to grant access like you're describing

It’s a place where your refrigerator could be connected to the Internet, so it could order groceries when they ran low. Your dinner plate could post to a social network what you’re eating. The stuff that could have been invented 5-10 year

Unfortunately I don't have a source to cite but I believe the LISP/AI connection started in the 1960s and peaked in the 1980s.

Isn't the purpose of a Rolodex to "find my friends" ? I believe that's what they were going for. It's weak, sure...

I'd like to read a post about the optimal granularity of git commits in different situations. I don't think I'm experienced enough particularly when it comes to intense collaboration to write it myself

This post will not be well received on HN because the taste leaders here are people who have deeply internalized the Jobs mindset for better or worse

With Ruby, the flexibility of being able to do things in more than one way makes it necessary to learn conventions rather than just the language spec. Sometimes breaking those conventions can have a tremendous upside. Some people find that

You make good points, they're not blunt. I've just read the same basic blog post many times complaining that there's no SciPy in Ruby. Again, I'm not in the sciences so I'm out of my element talking about it. I'm just trying to make the s

Walk into a coffee shop in Palo Alto (say…Coupa). Pull out your computer, open your gmail or git or twitter. Now leave and try another shop. And another. Go try that in NYC before researching exactly which shop has WiFi. This is easier to

I accidentally linked to the wrong article. Although that same report talked about there did actually pertain to workers' rights, it's not highlighted in that article. Here are a couple others that come up in a quick search: http://www.ny

You're right about apple's PR response but they do have a well documented history of enabling worker abuse that suggests that this policy is either ineffective at best or total bs at worst http://techcrunch.com/2011/08/31/environmental-wat
