"Yes, on a desktop or laptop computer. Not so easy on a phone/tablet." I've never used Android, but it's dead simple in iOS. Just tap and hold.

I can't speak for HN's motivations, but my view as a web developer has always been that, in general, target="_blank" is bad. My reasoning is twofold: 1) It's unnecessary. Opening a link in a new tab is easy for the

"I don't see why they can't pull in updates from the original repo." Because github doesn't provide a way to do that on the site. Git workflows that can be achieved entirely on github.com were that subject of the st

Yes, they could work from a branch, but then we'd have to give them read-write to the repo. There's no per-branch access control. Working on a branch in their fork doesn't help. They still can't pull in updates from the

We have some marketing people who want to make trivial updates to our site, but we don't want to give them write access to the entire repo. We've given them read-only access so they can fork the repo, make edits and send us (engin

I take a weeklong trip to San Francisco every few months -- a city with loads of Airbnb uptake. I used Airbnb for the first few trips and was happy with the apartments I rented, but I've stopped even looking at Airbnb because the booki

"...sidenote, what's the correct terminology for the opposite of 'flat design'? It's certainly not skeumorphic..." Well, we're talking about GUI design, and beveled buttons/menus etc. have pretty much been the norm for the GU

Nope. I just talked to a friend who works in the SF office and he said he was in the middle of writing an email to his family saying that he wasn't affected when he realized they were still walking around telling people.

A note is by definition brief and informal. I think the employees deserve that any official communication in this kind of situation be neither. Edit: And I'm sure I've put more weight on that one phrase than almost anyone else, but I've wor

The public announcement: http://blog.zynga.com/2013/06/03/ceo-update-4/ "Our Founder and CEO Mark Pincus today sent a note to employees outlining structural changes..." It might seem like a small thing to some, but I can't b

I don't know a lot about DNS, so correct me if I'm wrong, but this looks like a case where the TLD does have an A record: dk. 86400 IN A 193.163.102.24 In fact, www.dk resolves to a different IP: www.dk. 86400 IN A 21

"...insecure baldhead attention whores..." Not sure why I read that far, frankly, but I stopped there. Mr. Arment expressed an opinion. He didn't attack you personally. Why did you resort to name-calling?

Glad I'm not alone. Maybe there's a technical misuse of grammar in there somewhere and the poster is being pedantic? Whatever the issue, I don't see it either.

FYI, you can link to a specific line on GitHub by appending #L<line no.> to the URL. In this case: https://github.com/gkoberger/stacksort/blob/master/js/script... GitHub even adds the anchor for you if you click on the line number

I just want the current Thunderbolt display with the current iMac's screen, which has less glare. I'm hoping that they're only waiting on that until supplies aren't constrained by iMac production.

Does anyone know if this applies to iPad-only customers? That's my only Verizon account, but the opt-out link requires a phone number to log in. (Ditto for the "forgot user id" form.)

What kind of company asks you to tell them your password by phone? I don't remember for sure. I think it was a utility company.

I've used 1Password generated passwords for years. You're right, it is awesome, but only until you have to relay one of those generated strings to a support person over the phone: "...left curly brace. No, it's like the parenthesis, but s
