My first program was on the C64 when I was very young. Had it not been available to my parents and me at that time, I'm not sure I would have the same passion for technology and pr…

Tried RSS feeds but it sucks. There needs to be an RSS feed that only shows items that make it at least to the front page. Or maybe beyond some configurable vote threshold.

I ignore posts like this for exactly that reason. Its sad they get as many votes as they do.

Nice. Thanks!

That's incredible. I've wanted something like that for a while now. Thanks for pointing it out. Are you aware of a vim oriented one anywhere? (I switch back and forth on which I pr…

BP was mining for some toxic gas on the surface of the planet when something went horribly wrong. Now they're pumping out 5000 Bcfe's of it per day into the southern hemisphere and…

Is there a market? Yes (edit: otherwise articles that we've seen recently regarding their changes wouldn't cause an uproar) Will it completely disrupt Facebook? Not likely. At leas…

Exactly. And flash was introduced 14 years ago. It really has no excuse for not having better performance at this point. I'm glad its dying.

I may be missing something, but why wouldn't they just use the real thing?

Maybe your key difference could be ship people instead of stuff. Kind of like an AirBNB but replacing Taxi's and busses instead of replacing hotels.

How is it so different? Microsoft at least did not control the hardware. Apple has always been worse than Microsoft in that respect - they even wanted to control the printer at one…

Thats one of the more innovative Tetris oriented games I've seen in a few years. I was surprised how smooth it works in the browser, even though I've seen a few of the other cool t…

I guess in my experience with this site, the vast majority of folks are capable of viewing life and the world around them from many different perspectives, which is why the convers…

They are interested in generating controversy, which generates buzz, which generates ad revenue.

> Edward Tufte's book The Visual Display of Quantitative Information is a monumental book. Agreed, its absolutely excellent. Thanks to Y Combinator for listing it in the book list.…

Apple's terms were never agreeable to me, so I never started developing for it in the first place. I figured something like this was inevitable, so it changes nothing for me.

"If history has taught us anything then that open always wins." The web and unix-like OS's are the only two examples I can think of off the top of my head where open platforms have…

The only thing scarier than the censorship and reasons for it (i.e. human rights issues, corruption, etc...), is how powerful China would be if they ever straightened up.
