Maybe there could be a version that doesn't try to guess the card and uses a generic card background.

Where is "trap"?

This is exactly how toll roads work. You get on, and then pay when you get off based on how many miles travelled.

So, if you were starting in New York City, it would cost a lot more to travel to Buffalo than it would to White Plains.

Cheers, I didn't realize that Brackets was open source.

I've only barely used either. On the surface, they seem very similar -- folder view on the left, editor tabs up top.

This may be irrational, but I never had a great feeling about Brackets because it was an Adobe product.

Well, it's a web browser after all.

Kind of cool that you can view issues all the way back to the beginning:

I realize this is inherent to the nature of version control, but it's neat to think about the history as a "Making-Of" Atom.

Does anyone here do Java development sans IDE -- like, say, with Emacs?

Agreed. I prefer IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition to Android Studio because I like using the same IDE for Android and Java development.

This is definitely the way to go. You can create documents while offline, and they'll get uploaded to Google Drive the next time you connect to the internet.

If you _must_ send a doc via email as an attachment, it will be converted to a .pdf (at least on my Android 4.1.2 device).

I think you meant to say "0.05 ml of an aqueous solution of sodium chloride."

Anonymity theatre?

It hasn't been updated in over four years, but Cog (http://cogx.org/) is wonderfully simple.

I'll give it a shot.

EDIT: So far, so good (on Arch Linux + GNOME + Wine). Thanks for the tip!

foobar2000 is the best reason to use Windows.

Super weird -- I'm on Arch Linux, too. Could it be DNS-related?

Definitely on Chromium 33.0.1750.152.

Oh, man. Of course, Audiogalaxy was the greatest. The ability to queue songs up from anywhere and have them waiting for you when you got home! To this day, I think all song files should be in the format "artist - album.mp3"

At first, I wasn't sure why you posted this, but I was too busy rocking out to mind.

I thought about doing something like that for audio, but I think it gets really inefficient with higher sample rates because you end up with so little overlap.

Like this: imagine I've got an array of shorts representing audio data. If I've got two files with similar segments, I've saved one short:

[1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 2, 5] [7, 2, 3, 6, 8, 9, 3]

So I can say that [2, 3] is represented by a new value (z), and can shave a short off of both streams. Then what happens if a new stream comes along with no similarities:

[8, 2, 7, 1, 7, 3, 7]

...you still have to send each value.

Maybe I've just demonstrated that I don't know anything about compression, but I would be interested in working with you on this.

This is a Huffman table, right? I'm pretty sure this is how MP3s work.

Yeah, that's awful.

Sorry, I got really excited and forgot about the 25-hour thing. I took it down. :(

Seriously, though, BitTorrent Sync is amazing.

I've been pimping BitTorrent Sync pretty hard lately, so B547XI66CJZ6P2TFZBAWZ5QX5RB3ECBM2.

As Fomite pointed out, partial immunity. If the vaccines aren't 100% effective, then yeah, we definitely want more people to get them.

Oh, sorry -- I thought you were talking about ways to subscribe to stories/articles, rather than forms of discovery.

These days, about 70% of my exploration online starts at HN. There's a bit from Kottke and Coudal, a couple of Twitter feeds, and various music labels (Stone's Throw, Mad Decent).

Is Delicious the answer? It's got tags for bookmarks _and_ discovery -- there go two of the HN front page stories from this past week. Remap Ctrl-D in Chrome, and I don't think you'll find a better, more open solution for the Web out there.

I wish I had more examples, but all I can really think of is the fact that sites still offer RSS feeds for reading articles.
