Still no Linux love for WebVR :( Since I have no intention of switching to Windows after 20+ years on Linux, I'm going to have to wait, as usual.

The dropdown language picker is busted (at least in Chrome). It's got an off-by-one (or possibly 2) bug. i.e. Pick 'javascript', it shows JS below... but says 'less'.

'Younger generation'. Kids, I wish I could give you my backcopies of NTK. Brutalism is a fine, ancient tradition of web design. Welcome. :)

I already have a great portable e-book reader that's light enough to hold in my hand. It's my phone. And it's a sunk cost. Oh, and it's not locked to a single bookseller. I spend all day reading text on screens; when it

So, the million dollar question is: how does this affect my security and privacy? Does this pattern mean encryption based on the assumption of the inherent randomness of primes is now less secure? E.g. is there now less entropy in a given s

Everyone knows the rules by now. If something awesome comes out that's not FOSS or even only partially FOSS (dual license, etc) just ignore it until it's either cloned or fully opened. Follow this algorithm for an open net. Profit

As a trans woman, I'm very happy about this sort of advance, but I question why I'm seeing it at the top of my HN feed. A lot of people here seem to REALLY LIKE vaginas. Just saying.

I just did this. Learn piano. If you suck, write code that will make it faster to learn. (off the top of my head: write a midi filter that only permits keystrokes that are onbeat, and makes a fart sound if you miss.)

Everyone knows that with enough praise on HN, founders don't need to have thick skins to survive. Failure is the fault of those who criticize. Or at least, that's what I'm getting from your comment.
261.
by undoware 13y ago
Right. If HN is so sensitive to critique that something introduced as a 'small quibble' -- a marketing tip, from someone who has been there -- then you, HN, have jumped at least one shark, and probably several other marine macrofa

Small quibble about the video. This is not hacker-attentional grade. With the sound off, I lose interest when I fail to see content by the 5s mark. (Just some model bouncing around an apartment she could never afford on a model's salar

There are any number of alternative headlines for this story that would not only be less misleading, but also more succinct. It doesn't surprise me that the Boston Globe would want to stay on good terms with a major local power, but th

No, it's a euphemism for concerted political action. Perhaps I should have said 'capture the flag'.

I recommend the empirical approach to answering this question. The advent of modern web technologies and development techniques --- HTML5, CSS3, and Jquery, along with Jade, LESS and CoffeeScript -- means that you can create anything from

You're right, I did make that false assumption. Thanks for pointing it out.

You're right, kansface. But I'm not a U.S. citizen, so political action isn't really a practical option. Also, it is arguably wrong to interfere in the political machinations of a foreign democratic country, no matter how irr

I know this will not be a popular thing to hear, but the scope of the problem has convinced me that this won't end until everything is open. The only trustable stack is one that begins with open hardware and ends with creative common

Yes, just statistical gaps in who gets those salaries. Wake me when there's justice.
