...and you know what they say about premature optimization; "if you write something that people want to read and your site is down, you will look like an idiot" wait, no, wait, tha…

You mean `$ grep 'something' blah.txt |sort -u`, right?! http://partmaps.org/era/unix/award.html

I'd argue that it still matters tremendously due to scalability concerns. Check out stuff like Sproutcore which moves things that were previously done in PHP to Javascript. That wi…

MG even has his own UserScript: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/77996

also the ride is nicer. But yeah, it's stupid.

Ooh, nifty. The history of the "Command" symbol for Mac is a good story too.

TL;DR "Apple is doing something silly to force you to use their proprietary stuff" I run Lion in a VM just to spite them.

fscking $60 for a damn serial cable? WTF? It's not even the awesome "it-breaks-when-my-cat-chews-it-too-much" white cable with the "it-breaks-when-you-look-at-it-funny" excuse for …

>"prior art." #$%^@#*&$%&@#^$ I hate that term when referring to code. Code is not art. Code is science. In a given language, there might only be one way that makes sense to do som…

Why did this get downvoted? Again, heavy-handed HNers at work :<

We use KSplice in production deployed to ~1400 servers. It works great. Never had any trouble with it, although they did have to roll back a patch a while back. Unfortunately for u…

Why did this get downvoted? This guy is 100% correct and not being offensive. WTF, HN? See: post today about downvotes.

This. I've been downvoted so many times for EXPLAINING why something is (stupid,silly,useless). Want to offer a counterpoint? How about REPLY instead of just downvote (which doesn'…

This sounds like you're doing something very similar to Remember the Milk which already has a great android app.

Dude, have you ever talked to a comcast rep? One dude told me that I needed to get access to my apartment telco room because it was MY fault that the apartments were mislabelled (p…

Bandwidth isn't like other resources; when you stop using it, it's (near) instantly available again for someone else to use, and doesn't cost anything to produce. Yes, it routes vi…

I was there! Great presentation, but Wapalyzer and WhatWeb already do the same thing as this, as far as I can tell.

Check out Hacker Dojo: http://wiki.hackerdojo.com/w/page/25437/FrontPage and on June 9th, there is a SuperHappyDevHouse meetup http://superhappydevhouse.org/w/page/16345504/FrontPa…

ahahahahah what? Dude, do you work for Microsoft? "Well see, we just have to run MS-SQL server (DESKTOP OMG EXPRESS ENGINE) here, and then we run IIS on top of it to serve this fil…

So actually it's much worse than Greasemonkey. Also, with GM you can just save the script with the same filename and it'll use that instead. This project is 100% useless.

Yeah, already have greasemonkey and the only thing I have to do to "publish" files is to save them with the same name. This project is a lot of work for zero benefit.
