This thread is one of the best I've seen on HN. 1001 ways to screw yourself in bash. Love it. My contribution is a message from Mr. Odus himself- also a Reverend. Don't do this unless you want a bad day: :) `printf "\ fr- mr odus"|rev`

I usually don't alias the command itself; that's bad form. It limits what you can do and screws you when you are using an environment without your alias when you forget it. Live and learn.

1435 days ago- that's almost 4 years. I wonder if one day in 2034 someone will post a "done that" link with a conversation over 10k days old?

From what I've read, it is better to get calcium from milk, vegetables like Spinach, Kale, Okra, Collards, or Soy or White beans, or some fish rather CaCO3. The Mayo clinic suggests taking CaCO3 with food, because stomach acid helps with th

Some of the things he said made sense though. Basically, if this guy wanted such rigid requirements, he should have stuck with a high-end custom publishing house. O'Reilly has never tried to make its name synonymous with a quality publishin

> With nonfiction, it doesn't make sense at all. That is the opposite of what I'd think. Nonfiction includes current topics like books on political figures. Fiction is all over the map and, with the exception of crossover titles like Pr

In addition, based on what Tim O'Reilly said in response, it sounds like the author was incredibly overdemanding compared to their typical author, and would have benefited from a small high-end custom publishing house. O'Reilly would be a

Yep, FF on mac here and it looks great. Why do people keep using Chrome, IE, Safari, and Opera?

Soulless? Now, look. O'Reilly has gone downhill, but so has just about everything. The economy made people cut corners and care less about quality or customer service (where the customer in this case is you, the writer). But if they kept th

You're a good guy, Paul. And I agree that things get too cynical and too negative. Please continue to foster an environment that is positive and provide a good example, but if people feel like they are being manipulated, they are going to g

It would be nice next time to direct to a static status page with info on what is going on, if possible, and keep that site up all the time, e.g.: status.news.ycombinator.com.

I'm all for diversity on the team. Strong efforts should be put forth to hire the best person for the job, regardless of their sex, etc., though. I have all daughters, so I want them to be able to be considered, hired, etc. on an even playf

Basic is obviously not a bug. It is the reason many of us got started, and Atari Basic is no exception. My point was that people that speak of bugs of software, OS's, language interpreters, etc. of that time have no clue how difficult it wa

Dad of all/only girls here. Dying to get a hold of this rom. Hoping the author will post it and that Nintendo won't give him a hard time about his homebrew, considering the attention it is bringing Donkey Kong and Nintendo.

> That was a bug in Atari BASIC that I never tracked down. Never assume it was a bug in BASIC. A bug indicates it was a mistake. Very often code of that age had "tricks" to workaround hardware/limited resources that could be perceived

Spiritually it may as well not be. They usually stand on their own and stay out of the news when it comes to politics of Western Europe as a whole, since they were kept out of the UN post WWII. The biggest tie to the rest of Western Europe

Nanoparticle safety still unknown: http://news.discovery.com/tech/biotechnology/nanotechnology-... I know that is a generic article, but is it safe or not? Is it worth the chance to put it in lube as mentioned?

I wish that we didn't even have to have rulings. It should just be common sense to leave people alone if they aren't hurting anyone else.

Someone needs a similar site that contains the 0-day for not only Java, but everything: languages, frameworks, jars, gems, projects, etc. For example, how about one for each currently maintained version of Rails, IE, Firefox, Chromium/Chrom

While some genetic characteristics can be considered Jewish, not all Jews have those characteristics, so it could also be considered "anticulturalism". As a Christian and gentile, I don't understand what it is like to be discriminated again

Ok. What's the story, though? I love Pandora, but I want to find out what is going on.
