I like the idea, but am more reluctant about the keybindings--I use `s` almost every day. More importantly, I'm infatuated with the marriage Vim has between motions and actions-over-a-range, and think it's very weird to have motion commands

Summer after junior year of high school, small company: $7.25, eventually raised to $10.50. Summer after freshman year of college, late-stage startup acquired by IBM while I was there: $15, free snacks and drinks and Friday lunches. College

It's still WIP, sorry! I managed to backdoor it into an "Applied Math Project" class at school, so I'll be done (must be done!) by early May.

Maybe I lack vision, but I think there's still interesting programs that will never achieve startup success. For example, I'm currently writing a Lisp program that uses an LSTM neural network to compose Scottish fiddle music. As a Scottish

I actually prefer the Wayback Letter (most things I see in HNL I've already seen on HN proper), but it frequently goes through spurts of not happening. I realize that you're a busy man and that, for example, having a new child is more impor

Many SICP exercises would be similar to, "Ben Bitdiddle thinks he can define COND like this: [bunch of code]. Show why he's wrong." Which is not practical whatsoever--it's clearly a short problem for academic purposes. In contrast, PCL wou

Curing a headache: iffy. Measuring fluids with seconds: I, for one, live in a house with water pressure that's not totally consistent from day to day. So much for accuracy. Coffee: Is this ethical? All for a few more ounces of coffee? Brew

I'm now storing my data on someone else's servers, and they promised to remove it after 10 minutes. Not good for sharing. And if the site is down...I'm out of luck. Edit: And there's not even a straightforward way of saving the graph...it's

The web dependency situation is absurd. Am I unreasonable for wanting a locally-installed program that produces a standalone window all by itself?

When I was 9 I used to send my SASE and $.50 or so off to various mail-order companies. They required that you put your own address as both the return-to and destination on the SASE...through absentmindedness I soon discovered that the stam

There's two factors here. One is that bebop--the previous ruling jazz style--faded considerably during WWII, and was also dominated by black culture. Brubeck brought jazz back into style, and also--as you noted--made it less of a racial iss

How is this any different than "epiphanies as a hacker at a multi-person startup"? The post was well worded and concise, but didn't contain any insights that aren't standard HN rhetoric.

I disagree with basically everything he said about Lisp: first of all, Common Lisp was the frontrunner for several decades, and can hardly be described as having the "smallest, cleanest core". Furthermore, Clojure has been reasonably succes

I'm a huge vi(m) fan, but still use Emacs-style readline. When editing code in vim, I tend to make several edits each time I'm in edit mode. When at the terminal, all I'll need is "go to front" or "search backwards". And which is easier: Es

I tried three native apps and had problems with all of them. I recently switched to ihackernews, and everything's been great. The hidden killer feature is that you can use browser-provided tabs.

With my particular phone (Droid2 Global) you can't root if you've upgraded to 2.3. Nor can you downgrade to 2.2 and then root. Basically I'm just stuck on castrated Gingerbread for the life of the phone.

Every time I try to launch the turn-by-turn GPS on my Verizon Droid2, I get prompted to use vanilla Navigator or some Verizon crapware. Checking the box to make one the default does nothing. This is absurd.

The problem with mobile devices is that when they are prefilled with OEM crap (mine came with Motoblur, Blockbuster, and several other terrible media-streaming apps), there's absolutely nothing you can do about it. Windows may have a terrib
