Bummer, I thought this was on candlepin bowling! Last I heard a startup survived by taking over the league so it would make more sense on HN. It also doesn't suffer from the "too e…

I was going to respond with Germany. Specifically, the East German state did not own up to it like the West despite it being great propaganda for the founding of a communist state.…

> just replace the value of "ns.someService" worldwide with a mock. Having a window-wide namespace might make sense in the test, but it is pretty risky/limiting if you are writing …

A CPU with an accumulator register (default locations that accepts the result for each instruction and is usually one of the operands in each new instruction.) I guess that is a bi…

It looks like an introduction to FORTH via Kafka.. There is a nice browser interpreter here: http://forthfreak.net/jsforth80x25.html you can start with: 1 1 + . (+ adds, . prints a…

Maybe they just didn't pay for priority over netflix so comcast broke their legs.

Yeah, I don't think it is odd for an American in general just in the context of valuing time. You don't think about the 30-60 minutes in the car because you are sitting there killi…

> I waste 7 pounds of petroleum driving to work .. My time has value Why do you value time in the car (or monster truck) so highly?

I hadn't thought of Excel, good point. But I'm not sure which of these Office classes it is hidden in? I'm also always looking for HTML/CSS/JavaScript classes that might reach non-…

I still don't understand why a consortium of insurance companies doesn't run studies looking for better outcomes with out-of-patent and un-patented drugs. Their tests would be of a…

Please be respectful of religious headgear. This man is clearly a Pastafarian.

Dangerous links (Google ad network masquerading as downloads of the content.) First listing is from a commercial solver, rather sales oriented, though it looks like the topics may …

I'm not really against them. I worked somewhere that kept having hiring freezes and they would have made everyone (except payroll perhaps) happier if they made a sequence of short …

I think the point was that Yelp's algorithm is not clear and is >rumored While google is higher profile and would not keep an intentional practice secret for long, it is also not a…

An ISP is in an ideal position to coordinate resistance to censorship. Everyone using your service to provide content should be able to opt-in to being a proxy for all other conten…

When you put it like that, paying for such oversight is well worth it. Would the military request less if it was more efficient or would it keep its budget and just fight (== excha…
