I think the idea is a fairly reasonable one, taxing large enterprises for charging insane support/servicing fees. Their implementation of it sounds really crappy though.

What I don't like about this is that Toptal agreed to the terms. "Our COO went ahead and said we promise not to show any females in our advertisements" That reminds me of the saying: "Sitting on two chairs with one ass

DJ sets of artists like Kaskade or Porter Robinson always work for me. I find the key is to find something that doesn't distract you from the work, but is also nice to listen to when you focus on it. I find it really hard to just work

I have to admit that sometimes I even skip the articles and read the comments because I can usually rely on HN to filter out the BS and make note of the juicy good parts (which I can then go and look at in the article/post).

I don't think Randall does xkcd out of pure altruism. I also don't think he does it just for fun (although I believe that's how he started). I think it's a mixture between the two. If the comics were exactly the same, I&

There's not a lot of people in the world that are this dedicated to making other peoples' days just a little bit better. Thanks Randall.

+1 For being able to admit the 'hippy dippy bullshit'. Sometimes that stuff works best, even thought we hate to say so.

Watching the Kickstarter video, it felt very forced. I get that you are trying to revolutionize programming, but try not to keep telling me that and instead show me. I feel that if you had a screen cast of working on a simple demo applicati

Yeah, exactly. If I knew that it only stores my location info for 30 minutes, I would have most likely said yes. Without that, temporary could mean anything (hours, days, weeks).

If my understanding is correct, they're using the tiny variations in phones' signals to identify them. Could such evidence be used in court? Couldn't they just argue that it was merely a coincidence that the signal fingerprin

I think you should have a modal appear when a user doesn't allow you to read their location. The modal could maybe offer an explanation of what exactly the site does (e.g. How long you retain location data). Bonus points if we have the

I have a feeling that soon SnappyLabs is going to have Apple knocking on their door with a very nice offer. Kudos to them, sounds like they deserve it.

This article just brought a whole new meaning to Google Fibre. I think Google is seriously considering becoming an ISP which would make a lot of sense seeing as how they make up 25% of North America's traffic already[1]. 1 - http:&#x2

I think a really good addition to the blog post would be a link to an article/blog post that explains more in-depth the different topics shown. For instance, when you discussed Objects, a link to http://javascriptissexy.com&

I'd imagine (haven't seen the movie yet) that Wozniak has a problem with the way they potrayed him in the movie. It's not to far out there that the movie would try to showcase him as a quite, naive, computer guy. Hollywood te

I had a similar experience with the callback spaghetti at first. It felt kind of off and awkward. Once I got the hang of it (day or two), I started really enjoying all the callbacks and passing functions everywhere. Maybe all this Javascrip

I get the idea of charging freelancers to cut out the really bad ones, but who's to guarantee the quality of projects/clients? If you had some sort of system that also filtered clients/projects, then I would seriously conside

I was poking around the website and can't seem to understand what they're selling/offering. It seems like online hosting for VagrantFiles. That can't possibly be it. Anyone know what it is they're offering?
