So basically, Uber is bribing the city of Portland. Nice.

Just an observation - seems much cooler nowadays to talk about how you rejected the offer from Google to do XYZ other cool thing, or how you worked there for a bit and then were li…

Probably Git? You know that's been around much longer than Github has, right.

I guess I'm digging myself in a hole here since apparently my opinion isn't very popular. But I just wanted to explain why I said what I did, based on a moment of reflection: - Fou…

This is great and all, but it's something that happened in the past and was settled, so I'm not sure how relevant it was in this case in particular. I think you're blurring a past …

Um, the point isn't about photo quality in the comparison. I have to agree that it's confusing, but actually they're trying to highlight the fact that their phone has a wider viewi…

Interesting - I just made something exactly like this (screenshot looks exactly the same): https://github.com/billyeh/termchat ! I even had to publish a Node package to do it (pixe…

I love how New York Times has the coolest devs. Anyone here who works there? What's it like?

It's always irked me that the find bar in Chrome has no options for case-sensitivity, regexes, etc. It also doesn't reload its matches when the page changes. I understand that at l…

This is some pretty amazing code, actually. An MVC in 400 lines? Awesome. I could learn from this for days, lack of semicolons and one-line loops notwithstanding.

This is great, and I'd love using it. What's the (if any) connection with WebRTC? And PPSPP is a pretty unfortunate choice of acronym... A Google search only unearths something abo…

It's about time! This Skype is terrible, and WebRTC is amazing.

That sounds great. Bill, wait for money, and return it after the identity is verified?

Hmm. Great, looks exactly like something Microsoft might have made a few years ago.

If you think about it, it's amazing what we're valuing at billions of dollars these days. Twitter, $4 billion? That's for a lot of lines of code, and, sure, some server infrastruct…

It's incredible to me that an amazing service like this, solving real problems would fail while stupid (let's be honest and call them what they really are) social media startups ar…

Not surprised. Not to be cavalier or anything, but I mean, even I was about to start a side-project to solve those things.

I was looking forward to a mathematical proof of how symmetrical cases can be solved, but I was surprised to find that they basically brute-forced it with a computer. I'd learned a…

There clearly was some sarcasm involved in that post.

There are tons of good explanations of why a stacktrace is a security risk. See, for example, this article that appeared on HN: http://www.troyhunt.com/2013/07/everything-you-wante…

Nice. I kind of like "news that matters" better than "news that matter," though.

I totally get what you're saying!! :) Thought it was just me who abnormally remembered where stuff is on pages.

I'm not really seeing the point of this per se. Bootstrapping something that's already called Bootstrap? And then having to bootstrap that to make it unique?

Very nice, and to see it in action, this is also really cool: http://pcottle.github.io/learnGitBranching/?demo
