This already happens on Giff-Gaff (a mobile network) and is opt-out only. It's not uncommon to find out a security-related blog on the front page of HN is blocked by the filter, an…

There's a startling lack of empathy here. Overcoming feelings of isolation and trying to get more involved is easier said than done for some, and the whole concept of taking someth…

Sounds elitist. The only crime the author would have committed there is choosing a linkbaity title for their post, because something like that could cover any amount of interesting…

It's handy unless you accidentally start searching for anything that could be mistaken for an IP address or domain. Typing in `0x10c` to find the site for the game, or `minimal-lib…

Since Adobe requires you to register before you can download one of their trials, I'd wager that a lot of them are completely throwaway, or just lifted from bugmenot or whatever.

You can do Rails to a fair extent without really knowing Ruby, and just fumbling through it with a bunch of gems and messy code. In some ways it can be the gateway to learning Ruby…

Anecdotal, but there have been a number of times I've clicked a result on Google, and have been unable to get back to the results page without either double clicking the back butto…

I'm probably young enough to have experienced Enterprise PHP, which by all accounts (at least when Symfony2 was just released) seemed like the love-child of Enterprise C++ and Ente…

You can't renew your fingerprint, though.

There are many 'beers' in existence which, for all that they taste like, might as well be the product of a human civet.

Considering that Mario Kart has the rubber-banding effect to give less skilled players a chance, it doesn't seem unreasonable to assume that all their other multiplayer games have …

Notice how the usage of 'Anonymous' as a proper noun means it has an identifiable name.

Google Authenticator doesn't see much love on iOS, and anyone using it while testing iOS7 will struggle to actually use it properly.

To be fair, if you wanted to convert a PSD to HTML the last thing you'd need is Bootstrap.

And also by the same token, pinning it squarely on the condition can equally downplay the situation such a person might find themselves in. It's an incredibly difficult topic to di…

> Why do some people survive terrible hardships, and others don't? > Aaron suffered from [...] depression for many years. This answers the question, although I would prefer not to …

They recommend doing that when the user "presses an action button or link". This is not the same as launching a browser extension. Blindly following some person's recommendations d…

That sounds like OpenResty: http://openresty.org

I suppose the overbearing influence of the San Francisco startup scene doesn't really have that much of an effect on the general HN readership...

"The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to discuss the matter publicly." The irony is delicious.

While it may be clutching at straws, Mozilla do actually use 'Moz' for vendor prefixing in Firefox. While purely technical (and only applicable to CSS), there may on some small occ…
