Re:Ask HN: What browser add-ons/extensions do you use? on Thursday June 26, 2014 @01:35AM (#7948253)
I've cut down on the extensions I use over the years. Here's my entire list:

* HTTP Switchboard - useful for debugging/blocking annoyances, also doubles as an adblocker

* LastPass - honestly, I'd probably be using 1Password if they had a linux client

* PDF Viewer - Mozilla endorsed drop-in pdf.js plugin

* Smile Always - converts amazon.com uris to smile.amazon.com, which donates a portion of your purchases to charity

Re:Where is my lean browser for browsing gone to? on Saturday January 25, 2014 @02:43PM (#7122023)
Try Midori? Runs on Webkit, has all of the base features of the other major browsers (web inspector, bookmarks, etc) without the cloud/syncing features or addons.

I added a pull request to add in linux support, so this should work on both osx and linux platforms now.

Not a movie, but Masters of Doom is a great book about the rise of ID Software (http://www.amazon.com/Masters-Doom-Created-Transformed-Cultu...)
Re:Is Google using depressing CSS with IE? on Thursday August 01, 2013 @12:29PM (#6141426)
Haven't seen it at all while logged in, but sometimes incognito SERPs will have the washed out color.

Ask HN: How does tax deductibility work?

I'm building a site in which 501(c)(3) nonprofits can accept donations and fundraise through my service.I understand that from the perspective of the user/donator, you should get an email telling you how much to claim on your 1040 Schedule A form. However, I'm clueless as to how to handle this from the perspective of my service. Do I simply report the actual amount transferred to the nonprofit...

Re:Ask HN: Where can one find Github's source code? on Friday March 15, 2013 @01:04AM (#5379299)

Not overly harsh at all! Thank you for the valuable advice and the heads-up on the dead domain.

Ask HN: I'm a high school student. Is my job searching strategy flawed?

I've been on the lookout for summer internship opportunities at bay area/SV startups for ~3 months now. I haven't heard back from... all but one of the ~20 companies I've emailed, and I'm curious as to if this is the behavior I should be expecting.My cover letter is short, sweet, and proofread (mentions hackathon I won, personal projects, etc), and I've been attaching my resume...

Re:Python Libraries you should know about on Monday November 12, 2012 @12:52PM (#4773834)
The comparison should be moot, because Beautiful Soup 4 uses the lxml parser when it's available: http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/bs4/doc/#specif...
