I also believe that Hacker News runs on a small stack of services developed by some past companies from Y Combinator. I would agree that there is also little to no desire to make Hacker News "the news place" - where it supports thousands of

Useful for generic purposes. Never knew of it before, but now that I do, I'll look to use it when needed.

That makes sense, it would be nice to see what they're planning - how they plan - to support the new videos that will be sure to come. I wouldn't expect anything about it for awhile though, it's new, they're still learning, and they may cha

That does sound like it could easily cause problems. Graphics drivers are bad in all Linux systems. NVIDIA's I've seen tend to work better - just hope Steam does well with Linux and pushes ATI to finally make some good drivers.

No, but DDOSing does require an open listener - the most common and easiest is a web server. If whoever is trying to use some old Wordpress hacks is smart, however likely that is, he/she would not have a ton of ports open. You can also drop

Aw, now that I've read this you got my hopes up.

The most likely would be Firefox. As Linux has nothing to do with graphics, so I assume you mean your X Server - like Gnome or XFCE or KDE - none of which have much affect into major browsers, which are designed to render themselves entirel

Wikipedia currently holds a huge amount of storage and data, while it will be a lot of work for them to support videos, I assume they thought of the costs before hand. Also, the true cost of videos isn't storing them in two formats, it's th

The easiest would be to modify your web server to reject requests to that URL. Therefore it no longer causes annoyances. However, if that URL is still being used, your best shot is to reject on a per-IP basis. You cannot DDOS any server, a

Maybe 2-3 years ago, but nowadays Hacker News is just as commonly used as many news services. It's also not only about the correct use of English, many people can use English correctly but do not bother" capitalizing or punctuating since it

I really like this idea. I hate how existing services limit regions, such as Trulia - it's not like the maps are hard to get - I hope your service works out.

I created a service called https://www.cyphrd.com - previously called passwords.cc - which is a secured personal information service, let's you store passwords, notes, bank information, ssh logins, files/documents, and whatever else you'd

It is highly unlikely Apple will merge the two OSes within the next foreseeable future. Give it 10 to 20 years and that may happen, but even then, so many things would have changed everything you know now will be considered dated - just lik

Actually, Google enforces HTTPS nowadays when possible. YouTube however is entirely different, YouTube consumes too much bandwidth as-is, they would not want to enforce HTTPS and increase their overall bandwidth consumption like that. Addit

I've used Twitter Bootstrap for a few designs now, it's a useful tool but requires you to maintain more LESS/CSS than more other frameworks (to support the responsive designs). If you are not going to support responsive, there are plenty of

I'd assume it's because IOS is better than ios - and no, user's tend not to capitalize, just read any Facebook or Twitter feed/stream. The general population is poor at almost all aspects of the English language. It's also not worth making

The idea of phising out your data through the UI would be extremely difficult. There would be three methods you could attempt to gain access through a UI. The first and simplest to try is to check in memory, it's possible the application st

My perfect job would be similar in many ways, however I'd be working closer with Python, JavaScript, Scala, Mongo, MySQL, Amazon Web Services, Java and Android. I'd also hopefully be getting paid closer to 100,000 (USD) (or at least 80,000)

I would also agree, the cost of being a mechanic is much higher than the cost to be a programmer of almost any kind.

I just fear for Google Glasses. I am hopeful for them, primarily since I'd like to try them, but in recent news there have been a few cases of people against the idea of being recorded. People being recorded tend to find it a privacy risk.

As some of the other comments say, the idea of a homepage isn't popular with Chrome. Most people either keep the pages they always open anyway using restore. Otherwise if you have a few popular sites, using either the Chrome default new tab

Yes, he means list it to see what you can get. If you don't get anything reasonable, then don't sell it. However, most services do stiff you out of a huge percentage, I'd avoid selling it, it's a hassle.

Good catch. Make it a forum so people can post ideas on what to do with it? Or a bit more useful: you could remake kickstarter, recreate something like DIY project sites ( http://www.instructables.com/id/Magnetic-Rubik-s-Dice-Cube/ ), make

Nifty little tool. Not very useful list of commans though. Most of the time you type in more than just `git commit` or `git diff`. It'd be more useful to go over some more complicated commands like git revert, git cherry-pick, git bisect, g

If you want all of EU, use another service, like Indiegogo, which has been international since day one.

I think the point is that Disney will be behind the movies now. As a fan, I am more in fear of horrible, time wasting movies, Disney is known for making sequels to just try and make some extra money out of a series. Star Wars is a jackpot f
