Re:Show HN: Park your domain name with just 2 DNS records on Saturday August 26, 2017 @04:55PM (#15107396)
Maybe I just couldn't find it, but it would be nice to see a template or example of what the parked page would look like.
I should of read everything first and would of saw the reference already made... My bad
A similar editor was made for the book Thing Explainer[1] by Randal Munroe from XKCD. A book that explains all kinds of different things, from space shuttles to microwaves using the top 1000 common English words.

Re:NPM and Left-Pad: Have We Forgotten How to Program? on Wednesday March 23, 2016 @07:34PM (#11349259)
I wouldn't even think of looking for a package that does something as simple as the ones mentioned. If I need to pad a string, my first thought would be to create a new function, not look for a package...
Re:Travels From The Monk That Lives in My Phone on Sunday September 20, 2015 @01:35PM (#10248303)
I feel we should be more productive and focus on finding a way for the owner to get a message to the monk instead of debating copyright...

Ah, I see, thanks!
Re:Practical Python for Astronomers on Saturday September 05, 2015 @05:29PM (#10176093)
Is this an event/meeting coming up? Or is it supposed to be all online. Can't really seem to get much information on "Practical Python for Astronomers" from the site. It may just be me missing something...
Re:Screenotate – Automatically annotate your screenshots on Saturday August 01, 2015 @08:06PM (#9989194)
"OCR will not work properly on screenshots from non-Retina displays. They just don't have high enough resolution."

Not sure I understand why 1680x1050 is not a "high enough resolution"?

Re:Don't use Hadoop – your data isn't that big (2013) on Thursday May 21, 2015 @10:31AM (#9582947)
I upvoted this purely because of the title!
Would be nice to still have the Google search and recent tab thumbnails. Maybe just change the background of the new tab page instead. But still pretty neat!
Doesn't seem to be loading for me. Just the PlayCanvas logo. Not seeing any errors in JS console. Using Chrome Version 41.0.2272.104 (64-bit).

EDIT: Tried another game from playcanvas.com and I get a banner saying 'This page requires a browser that supports WebGL.' However, it is enabled.

This is just an FYI for the developer, but is probably just a problem on my end.

Re:GoogleFeud on Wednesday March 11, 2015 @10:36PM (#9188940)
Was working for about ten minutes. But now isn't showing any answers, thus marking all answers as wrong.

EDIT: Definitely a fun game and great concept though!

Re:Hello, World on Friday February 27, 2015 @12:11PM (#9119946)
As many others, I often get frustrated when working through different problems. But I find taking a break and doing 'outdoor activities' such as backpacking and rock climbing gives my mentality a break. Afterwards, when I go back to tackling my problem, I feel refreshed. However, I don't only do this when I get frustrated with a problem, but after I complete one too.

Taking breaks to 'get back in touch with nature' while doing something so technically involved tremendously helps my workflow.

Re:At UPS, the Algorithm Is the Driver on Tuesday February 17, 2015 @01:59AM (#9061005)
Interesting.. still working for me, even in incognito mode (just to make sure it wasn't only working for my google account). Either way, just google the title as someone else said, and it will get around the paywall. Sorry!
Re:At UPS, the Algorithm Is the Driver on Tuesday February 17, 2015 @01:48AM (#9060981)
http://tinyurl.com/ooz5hux This will get around the paywall. It's a short link of the Google search result link. Makes the site think it's coming from Google and not a link.
Imagine using this "worm simulation" as a real world "computer worm" to do your bidding!
Re:Show HN: A search engine for python syntax on Wednesday December 03, 2014 @05:40PM (#8696814)
This is great! I added it as a custom search engine with the keyword 'py' in chrome. Just right click the search field and click 'Add as Search Engine'!
Re:Regex Crossword on Saturday November 29, 2014 @04:39PM (#8675174)
I learned regex this way about a year ago. First I went through the tutorials on http://regexone.com/, then started working the puzzles to burn it in. Really easy and useful once you understand it!

Seems the root of the server is the only part resolving to that page:

Re:Freelancer keeps degrading the coder experience on Friday June 06, 2014 @09:24AM (#7857691)
Not to mention the constant flow of emails they send you everyday. I had to add a rule just to keep them from taking over my inbox! Some may consider that spam!
