RunUO here too. I'm still in touch with many of the people I met between the RunUO and UOGamers communities, and lots of us have gone on to work in industry. Don't know where I'd be without it honestly.

Eh, I personally find GitHub more useful for line-by-line nitpicking than for high-level, architectural reviews. GitHub PR diffs encourage reading code in an arbitrary top-to-bottom order and don't make it easy to jump around and get t

That was a reference to this channel YouTube uses for testing: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsLiV4WJfkTEHH0b9PmRklw

Going off-topic a bit, I highly recommend you peruse the forum over at the Reviewing the Kanji site (koohii.com). Even if you have no interest in the book the site is based around (Heisig's Remembering the Kanji) there are troves of gr

That sort of hyper-abbreviated writing has largely disappeared thanks to spell-check, predictive autocomplete, and so forth. Emoji can certainly stand in for text, and I see plenty of comments and text messages that consist primarily of emo

Yeah, they're wildly popular with just about everyone I know 25 and under, especially on sites like Instagram. There's even been a music video created from them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmlJveN9IkI

I think UberX has the potential to become bigger than the taxi market. In the vast majority of American cities, especially in smaller ones, taxis are not readily available and are just too expensive for getting across a suburban sprawl. The

You can do this in C# (and presumably other languages). I've seen people using Greek symbols in mathy code before. It's kind of fun.

The dark UI option is a nice touch.

I don't think it is. I'm in St. Louis and the default is San Francisco.

I love this. The boarding pass design is a nice touch, although I still feel like I'm going to fold it in a hurry to get it out of my hands and not in the way they intend.

Here in St. Louis, Lyft is under attack from the Taxi industry for not complying with the same regulations those companies work under. It's been an interesting battle so far. You can read about it at http://www.bizjournals.c

>Dre didn't create his music (*sampled) This is a highly ignorant statement. Sampling recorded music is in fact a very musical process, from the first 20th-century musique concrete experiments to the more modern intricate, multilaye

You can say the same thing about any large purchase. Ultimately, you've lived long enough at this point to know your shoe wearing habits to some degree. If you're the type to wear a particular sneaker day in and day out and are di

Sure, but your identity persists across all subreddits. If someone makes an insightful comment on a programming subreddit, for instance, and has a high karma score, you may be disappointed to discover that 90% of their previous submissions

I think this is true for HN, less so for reddit, and that it generally depends on the nature of the site. On HN, we have a small-ish community of people (who are often experts in a particular domain) and an expectation of on-topic, high-lev

The first half of the movie gives a really great image of the Chungking atmosphere, so definitely check it out. I highly recommend it on its own narrative strengths too of course.

People plan poorly. There's a lot of money to be made helping people through that. And when these services are widespread, people will be free of the necessity to expend energy "planning" their access to the essentials of lif

If a beginner does want to tackle SICP, I recommend they follow the MIT 6.001 lecture series on YouTube. It's much more manageable than simply diving into the text, but makes a great companion if you do want to keep up with all the exe

Judging from the ToC, this seems way more Operating Systems-centric than Computer Science, doesn't it?

That makes sense to me, but when I think of cultures that are big on umami I don't see a lot of obesity, so I'm not sure if the point connects fully.

I'm sure everyone on HN is familiar with how open source projects work. The poster wasn't trying to tell contributors to get their act together and produce a higher quality product. Beyond just lamenting the quality gap, they were

Metal Machine Music is a great album, and relatively quite tame by modern noise music standards.

Maybe not, but in this case both partners are working. In fact, the wife could very well be working more and still earning less.

I'm reminded of a story[1] I heard on NPR the other day. Researchers have drawn correlations between writing style and the eventual onset of Alzheimer's. Apparently nuns who had a habit of writing verbose, idea-dense sentences wer

It won't come in the search probably, but if you go to the page for the Facebook app and click through to Facebook, Inc. you'll find it in their apps.

I'll occasionally catch my 5S rebooting (once a week maybe) but it's so fast that it hasn't started to bother me yet. The issues with the 5 sound quite a bit worse though.

In case someone doesn't pick up on it, gov1.info is a parody site.
