I don't have side projects, instead I spend that free time training for and running triathlons. I can't show as impressive a GitHub as my peers, but I'm sure as hell a lot more hea…

Nobody on HN seems to want to address it, so I will. It's pretty obvious: Notch is incredibly wealthy and no longer is interested in programming. Can you blame the guy? Most of us …

I prefer DIY protein bars with whey powder and ingredients from nutsonline.com. See 1st recipe: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/diy-protein-bars-healthy-bar...

Surprising that this isn't on the front page of the website with the community most empowered by Ubuntu. Use Ubuntu as your main OS? Run a server using Ubuntu? Congrats Ubuntu on t…

I thought Reddit was fairly pro-Microsoft? I mean, if we're talking Reddit as a whole and not /r/programming. Reddit has a lot of general users who use Windows, especially any game…

> Sure, and most people don't try to memorize things because (again) they think that they can't no matter what technique they use. Citation? I mean, you're saying "most people" aft…

Yea, I don't like the article's insinuation that programmers aren't middle-class. Programming is not a upper-class job, like say lawyers or doctors. We are not making that much mon…

I don't live in SF but question about the techie bus stops: Do panhandlers congregate there?

> Most young technology workers order food and supplies online, so she doesn't run into them at the corner store. They keep their noses buried in their smartphones when they walk o…

Eh, no mnemonic device? Most people memorize things by simple repetition. If you're implying anyone can have eidetic memory by "removing their limits", I don't buy it. It's somethi…

I see this reason a lot. Thing is, Bootstrap was never designed for your use case. It was always a framework to get started, meant for developers to build their designs upon. Think…

Trending is popularity over time. Popularity is probably an aggregate of what you just mentioned.

It's your complaint that is ridiculous. The checkout page should have the lowest friction possible. Coupon boxes make people hunt for them. Anytime a customer leaves your store the…

While modern web browsers today may support WebGL, there's far too many computers not using a GPU that supports WebGL. For example, my 5 year old business workstations that run the…

I imagine one reason investors like co-founded start ups is because of the bus factor: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_factor Or boiled down: less dependency on a single person.

I cycle everyday, and as great as it is to be without distractions, in the back of my mind I fear being unprepared if in an emergency or situation where I need a phone. (e.g. a bad…

I guess it goes to show front end design is one of the most controversial topics on HN. On GitHub, Bootstrap has maintained an almost permanent position in the daily top ranked rep…

I think 3rd party restaurant delivery could be disrupted in just about every metropolitan or college town. If your town is host of awesome restaurants but no unified delivery servi…

Unrelated: Why are people familiar with Hacker News (e.g. the Docker folks) still using slideshare.net? That site feels like it's stuck around 2005. I thought everyone here knew ab…

As someone who has clicked less than maybe 20 Internet/mobile ads in their life, thus clearly not party of the demographic companies target, I wonder what is wrong with my brain if…

Just purchased, thanks. :) What's with all the Amazon reviews already? They should have locked reviews for a few days to prevent trolls.

You're asking for far more control than what Google has access to, at least on mobile devices. Apple can do it for iOS because they make it.

I have a 30" desktop monitor (Dell u3011) that I use as my "television". I can now stream a video from my iPad to my 30". My monitor doesn't have speakers. Can I still listen to au…

I'm wih you on that. While we're probably in the minority, at least in the U.S. PayPal is not a monopoly with Stripe and other services around, so I make it an effort not to use Pa…
