The porcupine on the cover threw me for a second, but then I realized what he did there. (Spoiler alert: it's Lavos).

This. Although I have a bit of a sweet tooth, for a meal replacement (as opposed to a treat) 25grams (two tablespoons) is quite a bit of sugar. The fiber might offset it a bit but …

We use Wormly for external monitoring. The one thing it has going over Pingdom is that they do outbound calls too, not just texts. It's nice to have that layer of redundancy (on to…

Sorry you had to go through that. I live downtown now on University (and I'm probably gonna try and stay downtown) and I pretty much never go west of Sacramento, that area is prett…

> Even developing on a laptop is utterly painful - single small screen, no mouse, no real keyboard. It is probably nice to look at the sea while developing but it is not productive…

For someone who is considering moving to Oakland in less than 2 months, can you comment on the safety of the other Oakland BART station areas (12th & 19th)? I honestly can't get a …

Not that he's a corporate leader, but FWIW President Obama is also an introvert [1][2]. [1] http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-partisan/post/presi... [2] http://www.nytimes.c…

I seem to have the opposite problem. I use Siri/dictation _all the time_ when responding to text messages (because I can talk a lot faster than I can type on an iDevice) and I freq…

Not having to uproot the family is understandable, but if you're worried about the competitiveness of the market, know that there are a ton of jobs as well (ask anyone on HN about …

OP learned how to code in order to launch said website. The blog post about the experience is linked elsewhere here in the comments.

Would you still get fired if you honored your commitments? What makes you think you'd be fired at all? Seems to me like your situation isn't applicable to everyone. I, for one, fit…

Why would you assume the river water in India is clean? India has major problems with water pollution[1]. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_pollution_in_India

I'm not sure how involved you guys get with the post-delivery processes (i.e. what the companies do with the food after it's delivered), but here's an idea you can communicate to t…

While your point is valid, I'm left wondering if too much openness becomes a problem. When I was single, I made an OkCupid profile and decided to, for better or worse, be as open a…

This looks really neat, but I've got some comments/questions: * Typo when trying to set up a sale of a Late 2010 MacBook air: Choose your product's "condtion" * Where do the prices…

I went to http://www.moj.io/obd as instructed by the FAQ to learn more about the OnBoard Diagnostic port, but got a 404. Edit: clarity

Heh I probably should've gone with squashy or washy, but whenever I try to pick a rhyming word, I take the suffix syllable and prepend every letter in the alphabet until I come up …

Maybe this is a stupid question, but how do you pronounce HashiCorp? Is it "HAA-she" (rhymes with Kashi, like the cereal) or is it "HASH-i" (rhymes with "flashy")? I'm guessing it'…
