    I doubt you'd get it from an FOIA request. I believe there's an exemption that covers work like this.

    They messed up my "back" button. Party foul.

    It is relevant. The entire predicate of this situation was that she is offended by such jokes because they oppress women (a bizarre and utterly arbitrary conclusion, by the way). I…

    No, it is hypocrisy. She was clearly feigning offense. She eavesdropped her way into internet infamy and her behavior was so extraordinarily irrational, I'm disappointed the PyCon …

    Am I cultivating a hyperactive sense of irony if I point out that, instead of turning around and asking them to take it elsewhere (as a mature adult ought to have done), she played…

    I tried several times over several hours and never could get the thing to work :-(

    I think it sounds promising. As much as my habits are solidly in the "file explorer" space, I can see its limitations. But, in order to even convince me there's a viable alternativ…

    It also seemed to break my back button after I went to the sign up page. I had to type the HN url to get back here after I finished. That was annoying.

    This, exactly. Great tool, but having no experience with Mongo yet, I literally said aloud "So verbose...!" when I saw the translation.

    And it appears the bottom-feeder subclass of redditors has spilled over :-(

    As soon as I walked away for some more water, I realized I had missed the point ;-)

    Great work, Evernote! That's pretty darn cool :-)

    Signed up already! Great job on it. By way of exchange, I'll offer what meager observations my usability & QA expertise inform when I start using :-)

    I came here to say "how the hell can I get a backspac.es account". Loved it, absolutely loved it.

    This is from 2009. Is there news on whether the charges were valid?

    I've managed a high volume call center for 15 years and I agree with this very much. In my experience, it can be easy to view customers with cynicism. But answering an extreme prin…

    Whether or not the rule that the "customer is always right" applies is context-dependent. In an educational environment, for example, we can't embrace this principle; it is contrar…
