Depends on what standards you judge by, and whether you use it responsibly or not. It's hard to talk about "technology" as a whole, but I would say it has definitely made our lives easier (not necessarily better or worse).

Wouldn't say that IRC has the same exact functionality as Slack. But the Slack mobile app does, and it runs far better than the desktop version (starts up in 3 seconds on a low-powered device instead of 30 on a much faster machine).

I'm not sure why this is being downvoted, as it's totally true. See the E-Sports Entertainment, LLC case: https://nj.gov/oag/newsreleases13/E-Sports_Complaint_Consent... Relevant quotes: > Among the

Certainly. But I think the gp is referring to the idea of putting a single greater-than sign at the beginning of a long, soft-wrapped paragraph. 4chan (and other sites) would highlight the whole paragraph, but on HN if it is very long it is

HN does get updates occasionally, e.g. the mobile width change that happened a couple of years ago. I suppose there hasn't been a pressing need to make any changes. If any sweeping redesign occurred the entire userbase would surely be

Hmm I guess you are right, I was just thinking of the simple case (run on your own metal, no external JS, etc...). I am just uncomfortable with the amount of data that passes through Cloudflare and especially the idea of depending on them j

IMO this is dangerously harmful advice. Even if you do the Full SSL (Strict) version, you are trusting CloudFlare with all data. It's probably fine if you are just doing a static site or something, but the fact that CloudFlare has acce

How about changing your javascript bookmarklet to do 'if on news.ycombinator.com, use the url of the first a.storylink'. That way it can be done from the comments page.

Perhaps it would be best if sensitive options such as the post-checkout hook could only be stored outside of the repository altogether. Given this vulnerability and the semi-recent .GiT/config vulnerability[0], I would not be surprised

Apple is already serious competition against Chromebooks in education. I know of no school district near me which uses Chromebooks, but a few that use iPads. Plus, it's easier to add a keyboard to an iPad than to remove it from the Chr

While a lot of the real advances in language design are not new, popular adoption of stuff like functional programming has happened in large part in the last twenty years. E.g. list comprehensions in Python were not introduced until Python

I don't understand this. Rice, potatoes, vegetables are still cheap here. I guess if you're looking at restaurants, this is true. If you are with a group and have to go eat somewhere, they usually provide healthy options which are

I find the security benefits of a popular, frequently-updated browser (not IE11) far outweigh the risks posed by use of a rendering engine that certain companies have touched. I echo the suggestions of a WebKit browser or, failing that, Moz

Social media is one of those things which by nature is difficult to break up. I'd say it's as hard to really fix as any natural monopoly. Facebook is not near as bad as Google is in terms of quiet influence, at least among the you
