Another good example why you never want to use a web service company for important things. Hopefully they will open source their stuff after shutdown.

I wish I could filter out totally uninteresting threads in HN website that are disturbing my reading experience - is there any CSS hack / tool that adds a "don´t show this thread" button to HN discussion threads?

This is exactly the biggest problem that comes with commercial GMO plants. GMO companies are massively buying smaller seed producers and are actively reducing the food genpool, they are clearly out to control the global seed market - from a

The first problem in this field is to find information sources that are not involved in GMO biz - this is especially true for scientists. It is a repeating marketing pattern to claim "scientists" are "pro gmo" - but many

"improve yields" is another myth. This is just marketing blah.

Somebody has to say it, as a sacrifice for the HN crowd I take the role of the DB: It is unbelievable how many people that read "HN" - obviously considering themselves beeing "Hackers" - are not able to understand the ba

There seem to be a lot of discussions going on inside each of these projects. There should be some central hub for research and exchange ;) Disconnected knowledge-islands with people not knowing about already existing solutions to problems

I can not see what I am looking for there, sorry. The Tent protocol certainly is interesting, but I was asking for an open place where it is possible to share / exchange / collect and extract knowledge and experiences about decent

What are the best channels to follow discussions on decentralized social networks? I see too many alternatives coming up and it is getting too time-consuming to follow all of them. Friendica (BTW this one is missing on the list in wiki), Bu

ZoL looks pretty good - unfortunately if you want Samba on ZoL, of course with snapshots and ACLs, you will have problems, as ACL mapping is not implemented, if I understood things well. That is a real pitty, ZFS is great, Samba is great, L

This was not meant to look smart, I refuse to compete and do not feel the motivation to position myself, I speak freely here - please do not apply a ratrace-like competitive mindset, this is misunderstanding me. I just was really interested

Ok, the elephant error is still unseen in the room - so I give you some more hints: nobody has written about this error until now - it is still there and danger of total destruction also is still there, because the single root of evil was n

The git issue (if it can be reproduced and validated as true) is an interesting aspect of the story. For admins there is another interesting one: they artificially generate an extremely vulnerable spof - and after this desaster hey are stil

This is a very filigree artpiece of satire, really nice! Looks like a way to translate Banksy graffiti into the code world, including the obligatory post to HN. It is one of the seldom pieces that many people will never detect as ironic, be

Is this bound to latex or is there something like formatting plugins? Can the latex formatting be easily exchanged to handle markdown or a wiki style markup or anythig else? A realtime frontend with a modular pandoc + git backend could fina

I do not understand, why they are overcomplicating things so much - why isn´t there just ONE rails framework? Issues with backwards compatibility vs. new features? Or what was causing this "forks"? In three years, will there be six rails ve

Privacy-friendly (as far as it can go) builds of available OS browsers is the way to go. There are simple things, like changing the default settings for cookies, that do not require rebuild of course, and more involved things like making th

Would you like to cooperate on this? I was thinking about this a long time ago, but I am full of other things to do and need some people to help me with that. I am no startup-millionair, so please do not expect money, but if we build a smal
