Best Buy, the place where I had to literally explain to three employees six times that I did not want an extended warranty on my television? I'll pass.

Not sure what you're refering to by "count" here. There's nothing to count. What matters is everybody coming into the knowledge that everybody knows at least one person has blue ey…

No information is added, it just gives all islanders a synchronized reference point to sort themselves into groups. It's the synchronization that matters, not the info itself, per …

They won't, because they only know that everybody else has brown eyes. They do not know if they themselves have brown/pink/green/purple eyes. They only know they don't have blue ey…

I used to think that, but I've found there's way more to gain with Ctrl and using ctrl+[ instead of escape (or imap jj )

Hofstadter's Law: It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter's Law.

no trackball has more than 300DPI My 1600DPI L-Trac disagrees.

My eyes are pretty messed up. Red and green look the same and I can't definitively tell dark blue from grey from purple. However I have no trouble with the default bootstrap button…

The only thing that drives me irrationally bonkers is the increasing use of "loosing" instead of "losing", even here on HN ( https://www.hnsearch.com/search#request/all&q=loosing )…

Maybe even closer than you think. We've already done simulated tactile feedback in monkeys! http://io9.com/5846275/biotech-breakthrough-monkeys-can-feel...

I love the idea of this, but the benefit doesn't outweigh the cost when I can get a VPS for less. EDIT: that said, I do normally only use 2 networks, and I'm fine with the first ti…

I've seen a couple of articles that have suggested both "don't use the orm" and "load fixtures using loaddata in your datamigration". These things contradict each other. loaddata u…

For everyone criticizing the app name, you are aware that domain names are a finite resource that cost very little to sit on forever, right? Often naming your company comes down to…

I think you underestimate how much attention HN can get you and overestimate the effort of doing what they did here. Seems like a great time investment to me.

Is there some reason you think your browser of choice would bother to implement new technologies if people weren't taking advantage of them on other platforms? This comment doesn't…

There's a temp charge on my credit card, but nothing in Google Wallet, and I never managed to see the confirmation page. Crossing my fingers. EDIT: about 20 minutes later it showed…

I'm not sure why you feel this niche requirement requires three question marks. The point of modules like this is to make it easier to do the tasks that 95% of developers are likel…

Also there- loved it. I think the key is what he said about writing the readme first. Write the docs on how you'd want to use the software, then hold yourself to that API when you …

Some feedback from reading this page: - Why is your example logger named d? It might seem nitpicky but it's hard to read an example with a meaningless single character variable. - …

It was reposted today because he gave the talk again this morning at Pycon Canada, I suspect.

I prefer HTTPie because after years of using curl, I still have to Google simple use cases. HTTPie has a very simple a intuitive api.

Probably the 1000th person to name themselves "import antigravity", but I'm still giggling about it.

It's no coincidence that people that have tried to verify this by comparing to email notifications have posted as much, and people that have "confirmed" based on memory have yet to…

They aren't confirming anything. People are looking at wallposts and thinking/remembering they are private messages, but everyone that has tried to verify using email notifications…

Or not? I'm confused. Why did they tweet this?
