I always thought that was some kind of urban myth that programmers made up to make themselves look better.

one word: Flashblock

added this to my start tabs

which is actually a good thing

I like how I dont have to visit Coding Horror regularly to see whether there is a new post but rather just check HN

earlier today I was wondering whether someone already created a compilation of those, thanks a lot op!

I think these icons are great for protyping/design mockups.

fun fact: In Germany it's exactly the other way round at least for 99% of the banks. You will get a free debit card at every bank but you have to put down a considerable amount of money as prepayment for a credit card additionally to the yearly fees. If you want a Deutsche Bank credit card they will lock 1000 EUR before they issue it to you and you will pay around 60-100 EUR yearly.

had the same problem when my FF was 30% browser and 70% extensions

Price of this Kindle in DE : 99 EUR (134 USD)

after I've worked with a fast browser like Chrome I just can't go back

I did that and installed a couple of extensions that add old functionality and Firefox now crashes pretty much randomly

what bothers me most is that they made the whole top part (including title, menu bar etc if you choose to enable it) transparent. I personally just find that horrible. Screenshot: http://0.tqn.com/d/browsers/1/0/Z/c/-/-/firefox-5-show-menu-...

Here is a screenshot comparing FF 3.5 to 4: http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/4/2009/12/500x_firefox...

(3.5 is right)

After Firefox 4 came out I had to install so many extensions to make it feel like 3.6 that it became unstable and incredibly slow. Because Firefox apparently tries to be more like Chrome I decided to switch to the original and I haven't looked back yet. I only fire up Firefox when Chromes built-in developer tools lack functionality compared to Firebug, which is rarely the case. The way Firefox decided to take makes me really sad, as I was a big Firefox supporter, until they screwed me over with the new UI. I hope this is not too off topic, but I never got the chance to comment on the changes.

did they actually receive $281,989 in funding or is that a bug on kickstarters side?

I don't know what the term for those sites is. Something like http://nopaste.info/. How do you plan to implement file encryption in JS?

I've never been to Silicon valley, in fact I've never been to the US but I personally feel that this picture the author draws of "old" SV is very idealized. This rant contains high amounts of nostalgia and therefore does not seem to be entirely rational. I would love to know if SV used to be like O'Neill describes it in his article.

did you do the JS implementation of PGP yourself? Really cool service btw. Maybe you could write up a nopaste-tool which encrypts the stored contents before they get posted to your server.

wow, I was assuming that everything is stored encrypted on Googles servers. Would be cool if someone could clarify this, as the explanation in the Google help is a bit vague IMHO.

thanks for keeping me updated about redis :)

I think Ghostery deserves some promotion here : http://www.ghostery.com/ available for all major browsers. It blocks near to all webbugs including the facebook social plugins.

I guess Groupons collapse would actually make a pretty neat movie

everything else would be just plain wrong (both from a tech and a capitalist standpoint)

the Pirate Party is a very liberal party and as such attracts all kinds of people with varying viewpoints. Im pretty sure that holocaust denial is not the norm.

As far as I know there have been improvements in the virtual memory field. However it is not recommended to use redis if the data you want to store in it exceeds the amount of ram in your server.

Redis operations are performed in RAM and while you can specify an interval where its contents should be written to disk you risk loosing some data if it closes unexpectedly. If that is not a problem I don't see why it couldnt be used as the sole datastorage.
