A few years ago I built a cabinet for my family. I used equipment purchased off of Ultimarc ( https://www.ultimarc.com/ipac1.html ), did the woodworking myself. I'm a very inexperienced amateur woodworker, but I love

Oh the other side of it --- weighing in frequently and drinking a ton of water! I weigh myself most nights. I know what days I didn't get enough water, because I'll have "lost" 2 pounds that day. That tells me that (1) I

Hey, congrats to you! I'm pretty much in your exact boat. I started the year at 267 and I'm down to 225 now. My goal is an even 200 (or I'll sometimes say 199 for the joy of seeing that 1 in the front). I've done it just

That's pretty funny. I'd say that the majority of the time that I call head or tail, it's using that syntax.

I promise I'm not trying to troll here. When I hear "free soda" I hear "free diabetes and heart disease". Free soda is the worst kind of encouragement to have your employees living a healthy lifestyle. I'd love to hear about a company who s

This is high in the running for the dumbest article I've ever seen on HN. Send that U-Verse internet connection back to 1983 and you'd get the same response - "this speed is cool, but it doesn't really let me do anything NEW". We need techn

If I were the trader with perfect information, I'd program my trading algorithms to lose (or at least not be guarenteed to win) 40% of the time. This would make you look merely like a incredibly fortunate trader, and not a perfect one. Just

I find it oddly humorous that the instructions tell you that you must use the Light theme, then the illustration of taking a screenshot shows a dark theme.

The naming of Benford's Law has long bothered me. It feels to me like it should be Benford's Observation. Awesome catch, though! I love it.

Literally: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

I wrote a web app that will automate iTunes movies & shows searches for you. I wrote it to know when Game of Thrones Season 2 is available on iTunes (among other things). http://upcoming.anticlever.com/

My total guess would be that the 650MB image just provides you a mechanism to download Lion again. Or perhaps it's a machine-specific rev? My instinct says the former.

It's an interesting theory, but ultimately irrelevant. The thing is that there are SO MANY people working right now to make JavaScript incredibly fast. It's not hard to imagine a future where JavaScript is the fastest reasonable way to writ

Absolutely! I really didn't mean the post to be anything remotely disparaging of GitHub. More of a skepticism of any central place with as much steam as GH has. The original article on this post just emphasizes this -- the guy is hesitant t

Well, I'm not much concerned about the technical difficulties, as they're few. I'm also not envisioning any time in the future when I quit using GitHub. It's a fantastic piece of software written by people I respect. However, I've learned t

I do worry about GitHub on some levels. I'm an avid user and I love it --- but there's the part of me that's really worried about it being the only real option for hosting. Would the community leave GitHub if their policies changed and it w
