While I'm not disagreeing with this, I wonder if it will impact the users of Milk Inc tools' willingness to participate in future projects. For services which run off of user's submitting content (reviews in the case of…
I'm having a hard time understanding the intent behind "You shouldn't need to know Haskell". Do you mean in order to complete the tutorial and understand what Yesod does? That's probably true. Being someone who's been…
There's a 2009 Documentary called Vanishing of the Bees that covers this. It was quite alarming to see the impact it had on beekeepers in the US. If you have netflix, the doc is available for streaming and is well worth…
I knew this would happen. I bought a Thinkpad T420s which has a non-standard (or new standard?) 7mm hard drive caddy instead of the much more common 9.5mm. I bought a 64GB Crucial M4 because it could be modded to 7mm…
A little OT from the actual story but I find it annoying when TechCrunch and similar sites find a random picture to put near the headline. I suppose the point of this is to attract more eyes to the article, but when the…
I expected to see a lot more correlation/causation pedantry show up in an HN post that uses the term "proves" followed by a subjective claim.
Surely you see how there may be a problem when the solution to a local monopoly cutting off service for overuse is to throw more money at the same company with absolutely no guarantee that service won't be terminated…
I didn't see anything here that implies it will be retroactive. I wonder if that means people with me who have the 1st gen Evo are stuck with nascar and other such nonsense.
If you were to go for a (really) conservative estimate of 3MB/mp3, that tops out at 7.5GB. I'd be interested in hearing what their pricing would be for more space. I jumped the gun and bought 50gb worth of space on…
I bet the people who spent good money on a Windows Vista license are feeling really good about Microsoft right now.
He missed an opportunity to make another point here. Surely it isn't easy for a large company to behave like a small one or that they move slowly. However, being a large, seasoned company with all kinds of bureaucracy…
This same line of reasoning came up with the last few Netflix stories to hit HN. Netflix depends on Amazon who runs a competing on-demand video service. The general consensus is that Amazon's divisions are independent…
To underscore the weirness of the Android Markeplace, when you search for chomp, the actual app with the name of "Chomp" appears under about 6 or 7 versions of some game called "Hungry Shark"
Roku if all you want to watch is netflix and some other streaming services (which I can't enumerate right now). Boxee if you'd like to watch a lot of local content as well streamed over your network. I ended up choosing…
Unless your provider is anything like mine, Sprint. They load your phone down after each update with apps you don't want (Nascar, Blockbuster, NFL) which cannot be uninstalled without rooting and seem to randomly just…
Most Bulgarian teenagers don't have access to nuclear centrifuge controller units for the purpose of designing/testing their code.
Click on the Plans and Pricing page. No mention of Plans nor Pricing other than saying I can try it for free (unless it's in the 2:50 long video that I don't want to watch). I see this happen a lot on these…
It's interesting to see these icons and actually recognize what sites already use them. For example, I believe OKCupid uses several of these icons in their GUI such as the report flag, edit, views, etc.
1. Cut a hole in the box. 2. Put your wave in that box. 3. Make her download the box. And that's the way you do it.
It is unfortunate however that he indicates the problem is that most of the content he watches that isn't on user-generated sites is via Hulu or Netflix. As far as I know, Boxee currently does not support those two…
IE6 from a non-government email address and/or not during normal corporate business hours = dirty overalls + straw hat
I wonder how this dynamic plays out for homosexual relationships.
I enjoyed working on Riak for an internship project I did but I would say that if you are not familiar with using map reduce heavily for querying that you factor that into the amount of time you are going to spend to…
That is a fairly risky move on Microsoft's part but I applaud them for taking it, especially if it works. Every average Windows user I knows notices and complains about the constant UAC popups. What's funny to me is…
Ruby has by far made me the happiest because I understand it the best and can get the most done in an elegant way. However, I do get bouts of language jealousy. For example, I am enamored with the way Haskell deals with…
