Joe's behaviour is completely unacceptable. Her treatment at work like some leper again is unacceptable though some this could be attributed to awkwardness on how to broach the sub…

Does anyone know why Chrome font rendering sucks so hard. It isn't just this site. Boss passes me a design to make and more often than not we have to reject the designers font choi…

I think the bigger issue here is they got married during the honeymoon phase of a relationship. The first 6-12 month's of a good relationship are fantastic. Its exciting, full of l…

Using Coast now.. I really want to like it. Trouble is it is slow.. you click a link and sometimes nothing happens. Also, i like tabs. I find a story on HN and just leave it on a t…

I wonder how many of these sites will still exist in 10-16 years time. Will gmail still be running? Will it be the goto email provider? The thing that is most bizarre is they care …

I agree that the one good thing this law has done is start a debate. On the downside it is negatively affecting how you interact with websites. Often before I can even determine if…

> The more time they browsed the worse they felt. Despite the shakey study wouldn't this result be expected? The more time you spend on Facebook the less time you spend actually so…

> Russia is far worse than the US when it comes to rights To be fair year after year the US fails to cover itself in glory when it comes to rights itself. Abuse of PoW's in Iraq, e…

I think the broader point is to use a single language over as many of your system's as possible. Rather than just "Python is the answer to everything." Obviously there are benefits…

Just wondering what scenarios you foresee you using the desktop feature in? If your travelling there won't be a screen available unless you lug one around. In which case you might …

Interesting. My local chipshop has had a like us on Facebook sign up for the past year. They have 13 likes.. The only use for this I can see is in an office so everyone can see the…

As someone with poor circulaton to the extremities I fear I would be walking around in the dark holding the flash light with cold hands. Its a really nice idea though. Its stories …

Thanks a lot. I have a seen a few sites like this and have been wondering. Sites using this feel like they load so much faster and more fluidly.

Looks awesome. Very useful. How is this site made? It looks like changing pages are ajax transitions but the url is changing at the top? Could someone point me in the direction of …

The first game on HN which I actually competed. Great fun. Had a rather fantastic come back from 1 - 9 down to win 12 - 10 against the computer. Fairly beatable once you get the te…

I answered this above. The code base doesn't have unit tests. It was built by a hobbiest 4 years ago. The current version supports legacy features from a previous version. It is ma…

1. I wasn't around when the system was set up. I think the idea was that developers could work together on an incremental version in dev repo. Then it could be pushed out as a clea…

> I trust that you are "incredibly competent" but 1 mistake a month seems very low to me. But what do I know! :) Honestly, I don't know where "incredibly" came from. I was going fo…

With my employer we deploy several times a day. We have 2 SVN repos. One dev, one live. To make a change live you commit your change to the live repo and it is auto-synced. I am no…

I have been using Windows 8 since launch day and I have hardly touched the Metro apps. The only thing in this update I see for me is the start button. Something which I do not need…
