Nick Cave - The Red Hand Files https://www.theredhandfiles.com/ I wouldn't say immediately or even regularly, but I do like to catch up on them every so often. Short food for thought.

Wasn't too bad for me though I was a bit worried because I needed it before fire season was in full-swing. ~35 days from order, June 1 to 1st week of July (onescytherevolution.com). Yeah real great for navigating around trees. And av

$305 for a scythe (snath + blade) to replace a gas-powered riding trimmer. Quite a different experience coming from a loud, heavy, bouncy, overly-destructive machine to a much more elegant, surgical, and meditative tool. No need for noise

I recommend reading the short book/guide The Underachiever's Manifesto as an alternative view (which someone here had suggested awhile back). Decide on the right amount of effort, place, and time to do something good instead of g

I wish I could filter this type of non-content out of my life. How can someone write this filler article knowing they'll be wasting everyone's time who reads it?

I'm not sure if that's such an advantage. Fashion shows are ahead of the ball by quite a bit and it takes 6+ months for end users to become accustomed/familiar/used to it to the point of starting to like it.

On the contrary, I would love to see what happens if they try. It would get the right kind of attention. This service is a great step in the right direction.

Thanks for the recommendation. I've been meaning to get the LAMP documentary, but will get both now. Things were so simple, yet complex back then.

This can be said for energy and medical industries, too. We are smart enough to solve all the world's problems , but we won't do it until we are backed in a corner and need to. Not including war and religion.

I love this article. Aside from the various HN Newsletters, is there a site that highlights by day the more interesting content like this? Not to rant, but here I go anyways. There's too much non-important noise here. Clicks and comments

I usually say "triple-double-u" when I reference it verbally. I had a project manager long ago that would say dub-dub-dub and it just sounded silly to me.

I really like this idea and the simple execution of the sharing functionality. Since it's free, how do you plan to make money? And how's your infrastructure if this were added to a high-trafficked site?

Ever since MS removed the ability to dock toolbars to the left side of the screen (Vista/7) I've been using pinned start menu items and the Windows key to quickly access them. It didn't take long to get used to it and now I prefer having t

Make it hackable and it'll have longer legs. A daily to-do or grocery list is a good use-case, but for social updates it's quite wasteful.

Considering Hacker News is a developer heavy crowd, I'm surprised a second and third version hasn't come up. I've wanted to develop the same thing myself just to learn how to build an iPad app. And I'm sure my other ideas for creating diff

I can understand if this is a personal project that you'll eventually release for free, but the day you begin accepting/taking money you need to be more responsible. In this day in age there are hundreds of options available whether it's ba

Agreed. 20 years is nothing. Assuming he doesn't have a wife and kids he has nothing to worry about. Plenty of time ahead for improvements, which mostly comes from learning more diverse things AND networking more.

I wonder if there would be any money in having a free option that includes third-party advertising in the envelope. May need to limit the number of free sends per person over a period of time. I'd be interested in knowing what type of mess

For #1, older computers can still do web, email, and movies just fine. Unless you're a gamer, you have little need to upgrade as often as we used to.

Good reasons. Having a channel for customer feedback doesn't hurt, but ultimately it's up to you and what you feel is good for your product/business. You may have a list of 10-15 projected features based on the direction you see the product

1. You can say the same about database schema changes. A lot of the bumping into one another would come from your sproc/udf trying to handle too many things at once. Which is typically a bad design decision.
