Pretty much, yeah. It was available but not very many people used it.

To expand on Magic being "hackable": The game is this way because every rule of the game can be changed by a card. There are no set in stone rules in the sense that they will alway…

I'd agree, but they certainly know what they're talking about so I don't really mind. They obviously did some form of software development at Nvidia if only as an intern.

Reminds me of this Koan: Sen no Rikyu, a tea-master, wished to hang a flower basket on a column. he asked a carpenter to help him, directing the man to place it a little higher or …

For future reference, when you're pasting something long into an HN comment add a blank line and two spaces before it so it doesn't make the page massively wide: data:image/jpeg;ba…

This was a great article, but the "This site uses cookies" warning struck me as a little disingenuous. It seems like there's a choice to not accept cookies, but if you click "Decli…

I think at least part of it is because the people on HN enjoy solving problems so much. When there's a post that says "we solved this problem", a lot of people here (me included) t…

Wether you're right or not, I've noticed that a common clickbait title strategy is to make sure that the title is technically correct. In this case, a higher ld50 would mean weed i…

I like this idea, but if you decide to go ahead and make it a regular thing you should indicate that it's a repost somehow, or maybe have an "Editors Pick" tab with the chosen stor…

I noticed it's changed now, so for histories sake the title I was responding to was "How a Snowdenista hid the leaker in a Russian airport" or something very close to that.

It should be Sarah Harrison, this title is fucking terrible

Probably not without some clever engineering, fast wood isn't very sturdy.

I don't know about dev, but here are three linux computer/laptop companies in descending order of how nice their websites look: https://system76.com/ https://zareason.com/shop/Lapt…

The dictionary is just a JSON blob[0], but yeah, a readme would be nice 0: https://github.com/serverdensity/Fluffify/blob/master/fluffi...

It's possible they gave him some medication that nobody knew he was allergic to and by time they caught it it was too late. It's also possible that someone fucked up and didn't rea…

I don't think so, red has a smaller wavelength than the other colors we see, but I don't think that could translate into us seeing it faster (whatever that even means). It's pretty…

They don't mind if DWM is only ever used by a handful of people if only a handful of people agree with the principles behind it.

To be fair, Zen is much less a religion than Christianity, some would even call it a philosophy.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but the way he tells it he literally makes up random stuff that looks good and tosses it in there, so I guess his subconscious?

I have a friend who's an artist, and he loves putting random weird things or vague symbology that doesn't particularly mean anything it his pictures. People always assume it does m…

There are ways to solve captchas somewhat reliably programatically. I suspect this plugin only works on certain computer generated captchas, not the street sign ones. http://resour…

Just because you can pull out three (or any number) examples of shitty laws doesn't mean he's wrong.

The users that don't care are almost always the users buying the smallest (personal) amounts, and they usually don't care because they know if they get scammed or it gets lost they…
