I was really excited until I saw Electron at the bottom. A color picker is a tantamount example of an application that does not belong on the Electron platform.

You are arguing against a strawman. I never made any such claim that "her existence is a distraction from the science". I never made any comment as to her gender being a distraction, either? Your post is very mean-spirited, ignora

As someone who has gotten the maximum end of that upper range for the most bogus (and illegal) charge possible after trying to fight it in court instead of tucking my tail between my legs... Yes. You are correct. An overwhelming majority of

Thanks for mentioning the Ted talk, I'm about to check it out now. The first headline on Google for me when searching "black hole image" is this very BBC article. It was clearly written to grab the reader's attention, an

In Assange's situation, I would have made the same gamble. It's only logical to hedge a potentially decade-long sentence with a likely inescapable two year sentence. When the charges are bogus and you know that they are being used

Sure, and if you stare into a focused microwave emitter you'll cook your brains. That's like saying light is harmful because looking directly at the sun or a high-powered laser will blind you. Focused beams are outside the scope o

I don't particularly classify that as a heinous crime.

Of course, he was arrested on completely unrelated bogus charges, so that we never have to have the conversation about whether or not he deserves prison for whistle-blowing.

Hacker News isn't some monolithic community. Each time, you're seeing different people express their opinions. There's no hypocrisy there. I think it's friggin awesome to see women in science. But even if Bouman was male

It's kind of a pointless question. If you believe RF can hurt you, it has no bearing on the fact that it can't and doesn't.

I didn't get any money when my cell provider was caught multiple times selling my location history to anyone with a buck, including dangerous vigilantes.

Some of us will change our entire lifestyle just to find reasons to donate screen space to live data streams for no reason other than that it looks cool and satisfies our deep-seated nerd fantasies.

I couldn't put it down. I think they unnecessarily skimped on things like animation frames, the amount of badges, maybe one more level... but it still came across as an earnest effort by 7 people working remotely on a budget. It had a

Cool, guess I won't be starting my independently-owned Australian social network SMB anytime soon thanks to this anti-SMB, pro-monopoly legislation. Glad we continue to support the competitive free market with forward-thinking legislat

If you have to migrate as a result of your government's tyrannical attack on freedom, you will be punishing them even more by assisting in the country's brain drain. A tough sacrifice, but sometimes we must make sacrifices for our

It just depends on the nature of the message. If one side is just amassing a list of things or a complete idea to digest on the recepient's own time, with the mutual understanding that people lead busy lives, it's a bit different

That seems more extreme than just becoming less than friends. Why tarnish a good rolodex? A contact list isn't a friend list.

The lack of multiple responses over an extended period of time seems like as big a hint as you can get. If you're standing next to someone and they ignore your attempts at getting their attention, how long should you continue before fi

Coming from IRC and ICQ and AIM and all that, most of my conversations were asynchronous in one sense. But in another sense, they weren't, as I would often elect to set my status across my services as Away in order to curb the expectat

If I'd hazard a guess before reading the article, it's because of the transpilation phase to regular Javascript. That doesn't come for free.

I guess I define sexuality in the proper literal sense as "Who you have sex with" vs "Who you find attractive . Because when framed that way, attractive becomes subjectively defined. Sexually attractive? Well yes, if you&#
