It looks like it's pulling characters from the paragraph to generate the "unique" paragraph ID. ID = First letter from the first 3 words in the first sentence in the paragraph + Fi…

I overcome problems all the time by talking it out with someone--they don't even have to be a programmer. Just describing the process, what I'm trying to accomplish, the pieces of …

I would recommend a card game called Dominion.

My guess is that since Sifter is a bug-tracking app, "no custom statuses" means a user can't provide a custom status for a particular bug--only pre-set options like "Open", "Assign…

As a .NET developer who has yet to integrate regular unit testing into his work, I thought this article was too short to be useful. Some concrete examples would help.

They seemed to be concerned about the lack of security they were witnessing, and they also alluded to "this could be bad in the hands of a spammer". If this log is real, is it trul…

I think it's where the only submissions displayed are those submitted by users who have karma above a certain threshold (or where their account was created a long time ago, i.e. no…

Refresh the page and you'll get a new lady.

After hearing your interpretation, I realize that probably does make more sense within the context of the paragraph. But I certainly heard it the other way first. That's probably a…

I thought the "interactive panorama" link in the article was neat. Had mouseover tooltips for each of the apps he had open, too. His "dashboard" is cool in a way, but also sad. Mak…

This comment made me think of the recent submission on geek behaviors in conversation: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1078529 . I liked that submission because I could easily …

Regarding the colors and un-linkability... why is that? To discourage lengthy "Ask HN" posts? While I appreciate the commenters who do it, I think it's kind of silly to have to com…

Anyone ever tried TeraCopy? I think it's leagues ahead of the regular Windows file copy (it has pause and resume and error recovery).

It can be a big shock to start living with someone else closely for the first time. Prepare to compromise. There will be several times when your roommate(s) gets on your nerves, an…

> This guy happens to be a damn good software engineer. I'd have to agree with that point. I think he pretty much single-handedly wrote LLBLGen Pro, an ORM solution for C# or VB.NE…

Interesting, paying rent to his father... Other than the possibility where that could be interpreted as not trusting your partner, that sounds like a great idea from a "CYA" perspe…
