You bet, I will! And thanks to this post, I'll be better equipped to handle all kinds of comments/criticism/jeering as well! :D

Hi, I am OP and nope, I am not the author of the bookmark thing nor am I related to him in anyway. I am, however, someone who unintentionally empathized with the author of the bookmark thing and posted my anguish. I am now learning a lot fr

I agree with some of your points and would like to defend myself in regards to a few others, if you don;t mind. The ageism bit wasn't a non-sequitur in any way but it was definitely under-explained and I am at fault on that one. I have

I am the author and I'd like to answer your comments, please: I agree with you that the jump from the quoted comments to my passionate statement ("If you don't like my work...") was extremely abrupt. It seems to indicate

Hmm, I guess that's where I got it wrong. My first few months of lurking on HN, I saw a lot of positive, encouraging posts & comments. Only when I started commenting did I begin to notice a few acerbic ones popping up here and ther

Good thoughts, thanks! :) I didn't expect this post to polarise people so much but, in a way, I am glad it did. I have found some interesting conversation behaviors and patterns that will surely stand me in good stead when I post my ve

Yup, duly noted. :) However, now that it is out there in the wild, I am taking notes for what to do (and what NOT to do) the next time I post something. The 'published in a hurry' bit happened because I accidentally clicked the pu

So what you are saying is some people are like Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory - they just can't be bothered to be polite about something they know is inherently wrong? Welp, I'd not considered that at all! Thank you so much for

To quote a song from my childhood. "I get knocked down But I get up again You're never gonna keep me down." Right? ;)

I am OP and the author of the post. Yup, you are right. I picked some poor examples to showcase my experiences and I should have drafted/edited my post better. I have nobody to blame but myself. Thanks for pointing that out, I'll

Harsh feedback is always oh-so-welcome. Jeering without explanation isn't - for me personally anyway. At least, that's how I behave so I probably hope/expect others to do the same for me.

That guy is me, the OP. The post was written as a single-draft rant and published in a hurry. In retrospect, I should have taken care to draft it better. Should I edit the post and structure it better? Is it right to edit your post once it

Wait, ~whoishiring is an official HN account? I thought it was just a clever username. TIL, thanks! Also, does this mean this thread is invalid, then?

Then tell him that specific bit? Your short-reply about his presentation polluting your browser history didn't add much, either. :P IMHO, I think he chose reveal.js because it was so highly regarded on HN just a few days ago. I don

I liked the concept but I have a few niggling issues: > The link opens to the presentation. I'd rather it open at the /engine/ and have a link to the presentation. > Copy all the points of the presentation into a page a

I present to you three alternatives for better browsing: 1. CTRL+click 2. Middle-click 3. Right-click link -> Open in new tab. One of them should (hopefully) work if you are using a browser that supports tabbed windows. ;) EDIT: Almost f

I really wish I could upvote your answer more. This is the side of the discussion that most people seem to be missing. This does not take away anything from the author, his entrepreneurship and his overall success, mind you. However, the po

TL;DR: A small rant about why I find most of the points in the blog shallow, misleading, dangerous and downright doomsday-ish at times. YMMV. Discussions and arguments are welcome. Name-calling will be ignored. Trolls will not be fed. -----

Ask HN: What happened to feed autodiscovery links? Is the concept/practice dead?

I think, you'll find that the equation works better if you reverse the RHS. Happiness = Reality - Expectations. The lesser the expectations and the greater/better the reality, the more the happiness. :) (NB: I use this equation as

I just replied to kordless' post. Thank you for the apology - it does mean a lot, given the circumstances. I saw the issue on GitHub and I am following it. As I mentioned in the other post, I sincerely hope (and would like to believe)

Thanks for raising the issue. Will follow it on GitHub as well. Also, thank you for understanding and accommodating my outburst, as well as acting on it speedily. I sincerely hope (and would like to believe) that this was a one-off phenomen

Okay, I understand if the form is sending my email address to check if I am an existing customer. I can understand if it wants to check if the username I want is available. Both of these are valid actions and usually helpful for new custome

WHAT THE HELL, RACKSPACE?! You emailed me just because I semi-filled in your form? I didn't even click SUBMIT! o_O Why would you assume that if I semi-filled a form I would probably go ahead and register? Maybe I don't want to reg

For a few-hour hack, it has been done quite beautifully, I must say. Kudos! I'm more of a Django/Python guy myself and I've been running a few of my own self-learning projects on Heroku, too. So yeah, I know where you're

In fact, you don't even have to allow delete - you can just let the users 'hide' them. That way, if I want to offer the same swap, I can just 'unhide' it. :-) Out of curiosity, what's the stack? I read Heroku

by DjangoReinhardt 13y ago
Good one, beautifully done. Just signed up. :) Request: Provide an option to delete swaps. Once I've found someone willing to exchange help, maybe I wouldn't want to continue advertising the swap? Just a thought... :-)
