It doesn't look like it still does, as the link is to ".../questions/33470/..."

Yes, how rude that a website operator wants to monetize their content.

I'd agree with your comment about the architecture being compelling. Do you know of any alternatives that are designed with scalability in mind?

This really does appeal to me, but I wish it didn't rely on Cassandra. That's a heavy dependency if you would otherwise have no java in your stack which many mail servers probably wouldn't. It's certainly an interesting departure from flat

Note that this post is from 2011, making it much less interesting that he has pictures of a fully assembled Sea Shadow, given that it was scrapped in 2012. Before I saw the date, I was getting ready to put on my tinfoil cap...

While I'm not flagging anything (I didn't even realize there was anything going on until about 10 minutes ago), I can see how people wouldn't want to hear about all this drama on HN. Regardless of where the incident started, HN isn't reall

Interestingly, I've got 3.0.31-861013 from Feb 14, which should be before this exploit was reported. This makes me skeptical that it ever did work on the SIII, as the more I try this, the less convinced I am that I'm actually seeing any fl

So, the author says that this attack doesn't rely on precise timing, but I couldn't get this to work at all. The first couple times I tried it, I wasn't even sure that there was a flash of the application, and once I could (I think) see it

It must have been an intense mix of fear and excitement trying to fix anything and everything that broke, but NewsBlur deserves it IMO. It is a great product, and I think this post makes it clear that he cares about his users' experience.

Unless I'm explicitly buying something with cash, I'm almost always in the state of no cash, but with my phone.

Well, "she" doesn't have any, considering she is a he.

Rename all your variables to single letters. Tada, obfuscation + smaller code. They are not mutually exclusive.

Not entirely sure what you mean, but I'd love any ideas for improvement. I'm no designer, I just prefer the dark (backgrounds, that is).

A bit more extravagant, but this is what I use for a dark take on HN https://gist.github.com/brcooley/5045265

This. I find I can generally get back into feature writing within 5-10 minutes. Debugging can take much longer. This is the number one reason for staying late, because I know that if I leave this issue now, it will take me half of tomorr

Much more likely EE => Electrical Engineering. This is probably a senior project or something like that.

While I agree that it is in your best interest to not say "terrorist", it's absurd that by uttering the word you could be kicked off a flight. People need to use some common sense. What happens if I accidentally use the word "bomb" when t

I think the difference here is that Maps probably loses Google money, or doesn't make them very much. If this is the case, why should the pay Apple to be featured? Search is a different story, as this is where Google makes their money.

I know this is very late, but thanks a ton for the answer, very insightful! I know I've bought a ton of DLC for RB2, and it is still one of the best activities for the holidays with my younger brother and wife. So thanks again for the man

Very cool, I've tried lots of other HN reader-type things, and this one is my favorite. Very unobtrusive, but solves some major pain points.

As a huge GH (but really Rock Band 1/2, which hit the sweet spot for me) fan, thanks! If your open to answering questions, I want to know (in your opinion) why the genre's appeal has more or less worn off now?

In fact, I might go so far as to say that this was never intended to be merged. I'll assume whoever did this wants their message heard, and while it will never show up on CoderDojo, the hodgepodge of coding styles ensures that the "pull re

Wow. Google Apps for Your Domain is a huge thing for a lot of hackers. I run my entire family's email using it. Is google just giving up on supporting custom domains? That would be a huge disruption for me =(

I know that the price is already much lower than most conferences, but are you planning on having any student discounts? I'd love to go, and this is actually within driving distance!

I've been seeing quite a few of those recently. I could only speculate why, but the trend is concerning.

To quell expectations. Nothing is worse than announcing that you have found something very interesting (scientifically), only for the press to report "NASA doesn't find aliens, should funding be cut?"

A thousand times yes. Do you want to know how I pick a product? Decide the features I want, then pick something that has those features and is either from a brand I trust, or seems to be well received by those who care more about that pro
