Confirm. Woke up this morning to limited connectivity, realised I was getting to some sites and not others. While on hold with TWC (where they said there was an 'outage affecting service in your area'), loaded HN to see if, well,

Even in feminist circles, the the idea that "douchebag" is definitely sexist and denigrating is far from a settled argument: http://www.feministe.us/blog/archives/2009/11/16/in-defense-... http://mooretoons.com/2008/08/20/is-douchebag-se

Leaving the gender-stereotypes, etc. etc. aspect of it aside, git is quite literally "my daddy's version control." I used to work for my family (writing software) and one of the last things I did a few months before leaving was get the enti

I just don't buy the conclusion here. There are a lot of things where "the universe" of people who are in some way associated with X is much larger than "the X community," but that doesn't mean that the community doesn't exist. There are

Part of NYC culture is having strongly held opinions about pizza, so I think it's a perfectly reasonable statement to make. Moreover, I recently had the slice from this very 2 Bros the other day at a meetup, and was vastly underwhelmed. The

I was super pumped to see this headline, as just a couple of weeks ago I was browsing the wikipedia articles for the original series of games, and considered getting on some old school action, so I'm psyched that there's gonna be a new Sim

I like the idea that 'the people' who called the police and 'the people' who got diveintohtml5.info up and running are obviously the same people, cause they like, use the internet and stuff.

All the jQuery UI plugins allow you to fetch cached references to the widget's proxy elements by grabbing the instance from the jQuery data cache. var tabs = $("#mytabs").data("tabs"); tabs.lis.append("<button>Add A Button To All yo

I wrote the "why don't you build a better version" text as a response to "Internet Culture," which mandates that if you want to point out that something is bad, you actually have to build a better alternative yourself. If I ride on a bori
