I grew up loving my visits to Radio Shack for hobby electronics when I was a kid. It seemed like a place that would be a straight up dream job. Eventually, I worked at a Radio Shac…

This might be something to build an awesome community around. Giving users way to add more than just comments: stuff like a way for the public to do more than suggest products - ad…

Anyone reminded of those pandemonium toys in the 90s? like a pendulum stick man sort of thing... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87HvVqa4t7k&t=30s

Out of curiosity, how did you handle the mobile web with this project? With my pet project, Streeme, I had non-stop issues with the music streaming stopping on lock screens. The ro…

I really like that my phone has replaced my watch. No disgusting strap, no having to take it off to code, no watch tan, no stupid thing on my arm to fiddle with and besides, the re…

On a 40+ year time scale for clean up, there's only so much that can be planned and executed - I'm impressed that they have produced some kind of public update like this. Japan its…

I remember a tenor sax hanging off my neck was enough work let alone having its entire hard case attached :) It seems, to me, the best solution for all of these issues is just to r…

I have an 11" Macbook Air from 2011 and it's been great. Went from snow leopard all the way to mavericks without a hitch. Use it mostly for web coding stacks have been Java, Python…

Are you using adblock plus by any chance? I had to switch to adblock to fix that on ars a while back.

And it's not even good or recommended as a cache at any kind of profile. So I guess their most valuable niche is low traffic/prototype sites with poor architecture discipline or ge…

Haha! good point!

This article is just purple prose nonsense that takes advantage of their audience's natural distrust of information that surrounds the human mind (see the author's reference to mul…

I work in an office with a bunch of broken Mirras that have all failed by the plastic shearing off near the shoulder mount point. I wonder if they fixed that bug in the refresh - M…

Wow - another great example of a young craftsman doing amazing work. That workshop looks like a great creative space. I have plans to extend the pinstriping site concept to wall do…

I'm one of those people that answers this question, "absolutely not!" Even though it's not in the news or on everyone's Facebook timeline, there are amazing craftsmen still roaming…

It's quite a pretty site, but the home page loads very slowly on my quad core I5. Something about this page is hanging up the dom onload event pretty significantly - Network tab sh…

I like the concept. White layout with bigger, more readable blocks and less wasted space above the fold, but some of the fun they had with the footer and javascript on the page sho…

I feel a betrayed, too. I really don't understand why the plan went up in price and has less features. I have the attitude that I want to store (indefinitely), search and link my p…

Really all I feel we need to regulate is the blatent keyword/SEO spam and link bait from various online publications. Other than that, I find most of the content on HN hasn't chang…

Same problem here. Seems to happen when you're in a logged out state. Wonder how QA missed this. Maybe we can help out, go star this issue in the Chromium bug tracker in case it af…

This project is awesome mostly because you can see blogspam and linkbait immediately. There are some glitches of articles with no screenshots and the borders on images are HUGE. Th…

I'm excited about the digitzation project, but the search experience is so poor that it's difficult and cumbersome to locate any actually digitized work. Some of the digitized docu…

Agreed. I run an open source project and would love to make an iPhone app, but it's an out of pocket expense that I can't justify. It's a shame and I'm sure it's a pain other open …

Not to mention smart meters - those new radio based power meters that contact the utility to digitally report electrical usage. Our electrical utility is poised to install them in …

It's a fun guide, but a couple of things irk me. Bending the leads out is a serious no-no - makes it very hard to desolder the component. if there are a lot of components, it' bett…
