Yes, that's true, point to you! I'm not sure I would call it 'popular' though. Maybe 'somewhat common among people with no other possible options outside of death or prison (death).'

> He makes an explicit case for both (1) and (2). He doesn't try and merely imply (2). You read wrong. tvladek did not say Buecheler implied anything, only that being correct about one thing does not imply being correct about anothe

I wondered what the actual number was, related to HN's issues of course. Would be fun to know something like this.

I kept reading expecting an explanation for this, but there isn't one. Does he understand the difference? Who knows. The explanation of "every step of the build" is pretty limited too.

They probably left reddit out of the list since it's kind of a dirty word on HN. :)

Um, since Instagram is Facebook, by my estimate Facebook owns 46% of that graph and is still most popular by a long-shot.

Same here. I love Alfred but I often forget it's even around because of my visor terminal.

All fair points, but I never defined adulthood, only disagreed with the parent which stated "the cut-off is not biological, it's social". Of course there are social factors as well as biological. I'm sure I'm not qu

No, it was sarcasm.

Can't trust that graph because the x axis doesn't start at 0 ;)

> And that's because the cut-off is not biological, it's social. I disagree. There is a wealth of biological evidence to show that a human's brain doesn't finish maturing until (approx.) age 25. By that standard you c

Glad to help a fellow Portlander! :o)

I should clarify that the video quality was fine, but it would pause for buffering often at the beginning. Once I made it a few minutes in this cleared up. I'm in the Pacific Northwest, USA if that helps with troubleshooting.

You should consider expanding this to include other types of therapy workers. I know from doing tech work amongst mental health professionals that most are required to log x amount of hours doing y before they can obtain licensing as a z. S

Thanks for the link! I Googled this half-heartedly this morning while cleaning out my inbox but didn't have time to sift through the results. Funny stuff!

Your demo video is stuttering and unwatchable. I'm guessing it's getting hammered from this post. The site looks really nice, and appears to have really great content. Signup achieved.

I would read it. As you are seemingly living my dream I would love to do a bit of vicarious living through your blog. :)

Carrier pigeons? On my commute this morning, while dodging a flock of Canada Geese that live in park, I was wondering if anyone has ever tried to ship illegal items via migrating birds. I had to ponder how much cocaine, or other illicit sub

Minor note, but the p (or i) is not important here, so it would just be HD720 or HD1080. The p/i denotes a method of displaying the image, either through interlacing[0] or progressive scan[1]. [0] http://en.wikipedia.org&#x2

The best advice I can give for exercising is to turn off your brain (or part of it) for a while. Concentrate on visceral things like breathing and posture, not performance metrics or meal strategies. Let your subconscious chew on technical

As someone who assigns little value to academia I would like to say, without irony or pretense: Best of luck to you, sir! I hope it's fulfilling, but never to the point of satisfaction! :)

Because if they don't exhaust their budget they won't get as much funding next year. Got to put some boots on the ground and make it look like they're busy! EDIT: Seriously, though. It occurs to me that I'm being a smar

It's true. My first thought when reading "if it is managed properly" was "yeah, right." We humans tend to fuck things up. You see? Cynical.

This was my first thought too, except for rogue/nethack/other ascii-based roguelikes.

Appropriate use of the word. Look here [0] as it pertains to law. "The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things." "The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which i

I agree with everything except the 'next segway' bit. The segway had it's day partly due to the novelty, but this is just a fancy (and heavy!) electric mo-ped. Mo-peds have been around a long time. Nothing to see here.

I found the KitKat site to flow better than the Android site it was parodying. In Chrome, even.

Key Lime Pie would have been better. I don't have a problem with the name or Nestle getting on board, though if 4.4 turns out to be horrible they're going to regret the tie-in. I just think sticking to dessert names rather than

Hah! Well, usually I can get past things like a lack of apostrophe or incorrect use of there/their/they're, I wouldn't consider myself a "Grammar Nazi". But for some reason this one causes me to lose my place
