I have mixed feelings right now, but this thing is going to grow on a lot of people. It just looks... badass. EDIT: It's like the first time I saw The Rock. I thought his head was …

Absolutely love my Planck. I was going to build more keebs, but it's perfect for my needs, and my wrists feel infinitely better. Another excellent solution is the XD75, which is or…

Disagree strongly. Functional understanding is how I learn best, and this is perfect for me.

Whoa, never heard anyone talk about my ancestors before! My great-great grandmother was Passamaquoddy, and absolutely nobody knows who they are.

Yeah, NYC is rich as hell. There's simply enough cash to go around, so this can work. In my small town, this would kill so many small businesses.

It tastes far better, and as long as basic hygiene is followed, is very clean, too.

Thinkpad X-series is the alternative with a more durable build and a comparable pointing device. I would recommend any Thinkpad, but the X series is absolutely fantastic.

American raw milk is some of the best, though. I love my Amish raw milk. Some of the most nutritious stuff you can get.

Here's the story: Tesla circumvents some dinosaur regulations It suddenly makes sense Chrysler pays $TSLAQ to whine about it Everyone realizes it works really well Repeat ad vomitu…

Because A/C lines are more efficient than either oil or batteries.

CEO doesn't like "the cloud", and VC is obviously that to him. I do use it locally, but that's about all. Yes, I just wrote an EDI exporter in Ruby for Medicaid services, working o…

Well, yeah, no. Family is leaving the country, S/O got kicked out, and I have a Great Pyrenees.

He thinks it's all cloud based. It's sad, yes. I honestly enjoy the work when I know what's going on. We have a lot of unique problems to solve, and I have gotten positive changes …

I'm in a small city, where not much work is available. I need to pad my resume a little more to make the work I do more attractive, but the reality is that LAMP devs aren't in high…

I'm studying hard, but learning new stuff while learning other new stuff is hard.

I'm the sole developer working on my current project, which is overhauling a massive DOS era application, as well as overhauling an early 2000s era CRM/business management tool, th…

This article is trying to say that because the theatre used beards as a symbol of manliness, the entire male identity revolved around beards. This is ridiculous. Hoopskirts were us…

Yay. Now HN can explain how it's not a big deal and moms on Facebook everywhere can panic. There's nothing new under the sun.

You don't? I generally wear long sleeves, but I prefer to be comfortable at concerts.

> They know the government has everybody's best interest at heart, and that if something is classified, it's probably classified for your own good. I really hope you're being facet…

I can't wait for blockchain ride-sharing. Never mind https://www.iride.io/

Highway driving is the first step. Limited challenges, different problem space. Once that's completely nailed down, we'll start to see workable urban solutions. The reality is that…

They're indiscriminate, so I tend to "trust" them. They don't really care what they put out, AFAIK.

It's common for favoring socialism and being in favor of intelligent regulation to be mutually exclusive.

Yes, and safety protocols have existed for a long time. My Prius has a nastily powerful battery inside it, and I can work on it all by myself, since I don't open the pack, usually,…
