Thank you developers and all, but I don't think I had much trouble copying text before. On the contrary, when I click on a field and it force select everything for me I get frustrated.

Trust me, selecting text is not a problem. I haven't seen a place where click to select was a life savior.

If anyone from IT calls you, you should be able to call them back at their extension. Or that's a red flag.

We used to have fun with William the "Windows Tech team agent" (from India) . He (They) would call us at least once a week. I think they might have had a successful attempt otherwise why would they keep calling.

I wouldn't say zero sense. When I watched sin city, I could smell the yellow guy. It all depends on how the story is presented. The color scheme of sin city definitely has sensory effect beyond what you can see.

This is Africa, we don't have the luxury of positive pressure spacesuit. They are dealing with a deadly virus with the tools they have.

We can do lots of hacks, then the user clicks on print screen and its a done deal.

My name is simple enough to be pronounced by anyone, at least that's what I thought. Then I realize in the US people had a hardtime remembering it because for them it is unusual.

Now I try to pronounce it the American way just so my name isn't the center of the conversation. I get surprised when I make a mistake and tell someone the correct way of pronouncing it and they get right the first time.

I am going to wait for the local version for this one. I am working on a project that needs the full browsing history including content. You might have read read it here on HN[1]

The goal is to make my computer a search engine that can also recommend articles based on the ones I have visited. It can also check websites to see if there is any new content.

The project is still in its very early stages and any tool I can use will be very helpful. This looks just like what I need.

You will be surprised how no one will care when you quit. Not that they don't care about you, but in a week it will be like you were never there.

Just imagine someone else in the team leaving and see what are the steps you will take to replace them. It will be easy to move on

I wish you good luck. I will be in the same boat in 2 days. Quitting your job is very hard especially when you are not going for another one. Working on your own project is exciting but the toll comes when you don't see progress for a while and these times will come believe me.

I too will be working on my own ideas but I know after the honey moon is over I will have to face the fact that I have no paychecks coming every two weeks. It will be hard, but if success was easy, everyone will be doing just that.

Again good luck, and I do think freelanceinbox is a neat project.

I was working on the exact same tool. My links used to be spread all over the place and it was not searchable. Good work, this seems very useful.

This is a bold move, and of course open to interpretation. But I am still optimistic about it. You can argue why they have patents in the first place, remember that if they didn't or sold it to a third party it will come back to bite their ass.

It is much better to hold the patent and allow others to used without being worried about getting sued. I am sure the big auto makers may consider taking advantage of this situation to crush tesla, but Elon Musk is known for not getting distracted by the petty things.

Bringing this idea to software development can be a great asset. I look at the way we currently do A/B testing. There is a disconnect between the time we release it and the time we get feedback.

It could even be the reason why so many claim A/B testing is inconclusive. If we could follow the scenario more closely in real time and track the behavior as it happens, the same numbers could mean something completely different.

It's always nice to watch Bret Victor. He reminds me that there is always room for innovation.

I would still go for cables on the ground ... or underground.

This is the new 60s . We will start by creating quantum punch cards. But eventually it will get better and easier.

I was testing whois on my linux box, and this is what I found. Can someone explain?

I had dealt with a similar hack recently and documented it [1]. The difference is mine was in Wordpress. There was a simple file called post.php that evaled anything that was sent in the post var. Have you found out how your server was hacked in the first place ? Check your Apache logs for errors hackers are usually careless when it comes to errors or warnings.

Although the boarding time is improved, there is overhead in the sorting algorithms. Try to run a bubble sort on a family and see how that goes.

The time gained in the speed of sitting is lost in the sorting.

In guinea we have trouble getting water and electricity. Hazmat suits?

The infrastructure of the country alone is slowing down any form help to arrive.

A hundred tech companies are still an exception. Yes building an amazon type of business requires more than your savings, but it is not what most businesses are doing. Joel Spolsky made a very interesting post about it[1].

A lot of companies, that are clearly not going to be Amazon sized one day, are looking for investors just so they can make another bufferapp type of deal.

We always list Twitter, Facebook, Google, and those hundreds you are refering to, but those are a handful compare to everything that is out there.

What's worse in guinea right now, is that anyone that is showing any symptoms even remotely related to the disease is quarantined with others with it. It sucks because what is the other thing to do?

The panic is spreading and people don't know what to do, hence why violence is now breaking.
