Man, I feel old when Imgur, a yesterday's establishment from my point of view, can be considered a ’first‘ of anything. While I also believe Slashdot to be the first one (it certainly is the first one to use the _term_ ’karma‘), some t

"tl;dr" here actually means "Too long; didn't read", as in, GP's result of reading the book, and not the "here is the summary" we usually tend to associate with the abbreviation.

#2 on the front page and no comments? Come on people, let us know what do you think. Without passing judgment, it was extremely strange to see such an out-in-the-left-field opinion piece on HN homepage.

“was unlawful”, “is unlawful” and “will be unlawful”. It will not stop just because of the court decision. The rule of law is for mere mortals, and not the alphabet soup of intelligence agencies, unfortunately.

Atom has an ambitious concept and is generally engineered well, but the performance is crippling it so far. I'm not sure whether it's possible in the current web-to-native implementation to actually reach native performance, espec

And yet no serious research is being put into hard AI. Just like five years ago. Or ten. Or twenty. My childhood passed in reading circa-computer books of 60s, 70s, 80s, where full, general AI seemed to be just around the corner. Obviously

Clojure is the most fun programming I've had in years. It takes quite some time to really kick in (more than one or two pet projects, rather than couple of "hello world"-style lines it took for Ruby), but once it does… walk
