C-u M-! does the exact same thing in Emacs.

This is moronic reasoning. Just because stocks are "cheap" relative to bonds right now does not make stocks an "attractive" investment. As Buffet says, never confuse price with val…

Why not say "Every ~~Forth~~ program is its own DSL for accomplishing its work."? For moderately complicated programs in any language you choose, it can take a long time to grok ho…

Written text IS a visual medium. It works because there is a finite alphabet of characters that can be combined into millions of words. Any other "visual" language needs a similar …

How much of the increase in median job tenure is explained by an aging population?

Just because some Linux users do that does not mean it is a requirement. If it were, Linux could never have achieved server the server dominance it has. Fiddling is a side effect o…

What annoys me most about this kind of position that I haven't seen addressed enough is the assumption that politics is some kind of grocery basket of personal taste where position…

I liked this article because I enjoy reading about data structures that can be used in places where the "obvious" implementation is a list of lists. A lists of lists data structure…

While their current focus does seem and probably should be on politics due to the wide reach of that topic, I think the idea of perspectives in general is a great idea for such an …

I find this sort of answer unsatisfyingly incomplete. All the examples of people who profit off fear: mass media, lawyers, politicians, and industrial pharmaceuticals have all exis…

Not surprising since both Macbook Pro and Air lines have gone >15 months without a hardware upgrade. The current mac owners have no real reason to buy newer versions.

I would like to thank all the people who had a comment on this article, but did not post it. Truly, you improve the community with your silence. I'm aware of my own hypocrisy on th…

This article is far too shallow in its diagnosis. Yes, the media manufactures outrage for attention. This is not the problem. The media has done the same for as long as it has exis…

I hear more people complain about Westboro Babtist Church than I hear Westboro Babtist Church complain about anything. That doesn't mean Westboro Babtist Church is not a problem. I…

While they aren't banning DD-WRT, they are creating restrictions for manufacturers. The easiest way for a manufacturer to meet the new rules is simply to not allow flashing third-p…

I think there might me a simple explanation for this. Nonreligious children tend to be richer and come from richer countries. Having more wealth means they do not attach as much va…

I think that people are now using overt racism and sexism as protest against Social Justice. Since a Social Justice Warrior will define anyone who doesn't agree with them as a raci…

That comment was about how HN could learn from 4chan's layout . For example, I think comment trees are way harder to read than a linear stream.

One thing to remember about Krugman is that his specialty in college was trade theory. That is what he studied as a graduate and what his thesis was about. He made landmark advance…

This is true of any "-ism", especially ideologies. Every person will give a slightly different answer as to what it is.

Let me start by saying I do think there are definitely "Null Professors" who do not properly teach, and thus allow competent students to fail. However, I must agree with the notion…
