I don't want to sound like a douche, but It looks to me that you did it to prove you eat your own dogfood. If you were so unhappy with Tumblr, why didn't you just use another blogg…

Is the name Elastic Fusion Power appropriate?

Really? Moving away from the X86 instruction set 5 years after the move PowerPC is NOT going to happen, period. ARM is fine for the iPad, but for high performance work it doesn't c…

Call me skeptical, but I've never trusted Compete's numbers. Their service gives stats without citing sources, so I don't know what kind of magic or data interpolation they use.

I don't know. I saw your site and I find it is not easy to use. The first page doesn't tell you what is a virtual bet about. It also gives you to calls to action that are equally i…

I began programming when I've got my first computer, an Atari 600XL (what a pos for 1992). I learnt BASIC from a collection of science magazines from the 80s that my older brothers…

Something Awful is my main news source. Being serious, Hacker News shouldn't try to be a general news site "for hackers" because believing a hacker prototype exists is absurd.

Unix scripting always amazes me. Every time I read a script or a blog post about it I learn something new. After all these years using Linux, I don't remember ever noticing input r…

I've used cheap scientific calculators that perform operations from left to right. It's awful when you are answering a uni exam and you don't know why the results you get looks fis…

Bummer, it's only for people that live abroad.

I'm considering integrating their service. Using ffmpeg can be a bitch when you have to deal with many combinations of input codecs. How does it run when you send a request with hu…

Kudos to the aussies for having something similar to YC. The mentorship from TWENTY (woah!) successful founders, the $25.000 (aus?) sound amazing. What I find it really sad that ev…

This reminds me of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGYYRr6DOSo , but with real people!

IMO it's just better to stick to LTS releases, Canonical tends to make less experimental changes in those releases, because things should work for 3 years. In the other hand, on po…

Yeah maybe if they dumb it down a little to be more similar to Gmail it would really catch on.
