I might put off the decision making of the Document Recovery task too often, but as a result I've noticed how often I have to thoughtfully select 'Yes' before closing Excel/Word. I…

I love this sort of thing, but like many heatmaps, I wish it had a color blind toggle.

I have to wonder if this is on the front page as part of a marketing campaign for the new Showtime Docuseries.

But when you’re in advertising all that matters are the results.

Very interesting read, but as more of an analyst, I kept waiting for the ‘meaning.’ Maybe I missed it, but for anyone else who may be considering reading this, it is more about ‘gi…

I bought my Toyota for the motor, so I didn't pay a lot of attention at the time of purchase. I wish I had though. Entune is absolutely terrible. I'm still mind boggled that a qual…

Unfortunate as it may be, sometimes in large corporations, it takes paying an outsider to identify and document something, before anything will be done about it.

What an interesting take away. This is why I like online forums, because I would have never expected such a response. For better or worse, I read the headline and hoped someone had…

Think much harder about power and cooling. A few points: I've only ever built desktop machines, and this top comment drew a surprising parallel to most help me with my desktop buil…

This list of known browsers(cookies) would be worth well over $1mil to US advertisers right? I can only assume they're selling it, according to the privacy policy.

It may not have a huge following on HN, but this is a big time outage affecting millions of people. It was reported in 2015 that 75 million people play fantasy football, 54% of whi…

Someone at work was recently giving me the slack pitch, and mentioned the cool bot that be configured to announce people, answer questions etc... It made me very nostalgic for my o…

As a Carolinian I can't help feeling left out when I look at their proposed map. Even if this is just fiction at this point, I would be interested in hearing their reason for compl…

How else would she show her appreciation for all of these emails between the two parties?

This is just beautiful. Definitely put all of those things in a new perspective for me. Well done.

Very cool and useful product. I can't help but feel like I'm in some kind of cycle though, because I felt the same way about a KVM Switch 20 years ago.

"...almost certainly safe" Is that similar to "definitely maybe"?

This is awesome. Although an excellent resource, there are many times I get very distracted using Google to get this kind of information. This could help me stay on task.

If you can make it to the bottom, I found those simple charts, segmented by Industry, the most interesting and easiest to digest.

OpenERP could've really benefited from some usability expertise, and if this site is any indication, Odoo may suffer the same fate. If you're going to put this much time/money into…

I have the most trouble with regex, and something about seeing my matches as I type made this incredibly useful for me!

I was hoping to get some suggested sites or books I could use to do more with our Analytics. I do not have a statistics background, but I work in an area where ideas backed up by d…

Unfortunately, the only exchange I've tried to access, out of pure curiosity, times out. http://www.healthsourceri.com/ Looks like they're using Amazon AWS

I'd love to hear from anyone that has been involved in the development of these new exchanges. One of those posts on the technology stack or high scalability posts would be great. …
