Smoking is a little different in France and on the Continent than in the USA. It's possible that certain European smokers, going to a foreign country like the USA for the first tim…

I can't imagine a situation where I wouldn't add Boost to a project, especially considering that large portions of it have been included in C++0x, and that the library has been for…

Every restaurant website ever created. It's like they hired Ron Jeremy to do the usability on these things (and that's being unfair to Ron Jeremy).

The number of users who want to run OS X, Ubuntu or *nix as opposed to Windows is a rounding error, for good reason. Buying a non-Windows PC is simply a mistake unless you're an ub…

What's really fun is watching your typical Apple fanboy's face go pale, then red, then pale again as he reads this post and tries so very hard to understand why the world is throwi…

"Let's stop posting spammy links on HN that take the user to a landing page advert for the site in question." Idiot.

The profit potential on the desktop and the pure web has always outstripped what iPhone apps are capable of. If it's a labor of love or if you just love Apple, by all means, develo…

"Due to a bug, the explanatory link did not appear for most users...." Uh huh. Riiiiiight. It wasn't that you posted the change, saw the stampede of people looking for ways to "rem…

Because the Firefox add-on ecosystem is a complete mess. Try building an add-on if you've swallowed the Firefox koolaid. (Still miles and miles better than IE, but the Firefox add-…

Wow. Do people actually still use Windows Update? Like, on "auto" mode? I'm terrified of that thing. TERRIFIED. I take pains to make sure it's turned off and set to the "don't fuck…

It's not a weird assumption, it's a completely relevant assumption. Currently, if you want to build iPhone software using anything other than the approved Apple stack, jail-breakin…

Ultra-satisfying Nelson laugh @ all wannabe patent whores.

Keep shilling, idiot.

True, but a mixed-mode system may be possible: polygons in conjunction with point clouds. You'd essentially "spray" your points across polygonal faces, like a sort of spackle or pa…

Oh, please. If Spolsky doesn't want to continue blogging, I think the world will survive. For a couple years now all Joel has offered to the software community is: "here, read this…

Kind of a misleading title; quote taken out of context; not (at all) what the article is actually about.

I agree. As a rule, if a site contains those pesky double-underlined links that display "contextually relevant" advertising on HOVER, I won't read the article. That said, nobody re…

Still, sad to see the once-great China, who gave us paper, movable type, gunpowder, the compass, and too many other world-changing inventions to name here, devolving into a dystopi…

I doubt you can extrapolate from your experiences on a single MMORPG to the industry as a whole. Grind may well be intentional in your case, or in WoW; but in (many) other MMORPGs,…

Well I guess I'll be the only one saying it: this entire article reeks of male geek condescension. I didn't know Clay Shirky was a feminist-apologist but I certainly grow tired of …
