Nobody's mentioned Blackbird JS yet, so: http://www.gscottolson.com/blackbirdjs/ Filterable log messages, closable and easy to stub out when you go into production.

jaquesm's opinion was given to you for free, what are you complaining about? If you don't like it, don't read it...

It still sounds like pretty good advice given the context. There are lots of non-F500 companies that make their revenues developing and consulting on non-patented technology, so it doesn't necessarily follow that their revenues were solely

Obligatory link to The Programmer's Stone, which was a real eye opener for me when I read it. http://the-programmers-stone.com/the-original-talks/ It starts with Mapper vs. packer mentality, stress level mismatches, and the effect of str

Principal in this case is the money that you earn interest on. He doesn't have either.

No, don't do this. The people maintaining your code will hate you if everything is an unnamed lambda. A better way to do it is to take your core data structure, in this case a user, and turn it into a class, dictionary or named tuple. Class

Thanks. I'd much rather have a discussion there than on TechCrunch's tasteless cash in.

But in aggregate, it means that a throwaway one liner becomes much more valuable (from a karma/algorithm perspective at least). It removes a large amount of control from the people commenting.

What you're describing is equally true of stand-up comedians as entrepreners and technical people.

HN is slow enough already. I don't think anything that requires per-user (or per-pair-of-users) weighting is going to fly on most sites.

This is why I was against hiding karma on posts. I suspect that it drives the points reward up for one liners, since there's no way to balance things downwards, ie. not upvote or downvote if you think a post has too many points. And I think

I basically ignore karma these days. It doesn't encourage better writing, it encourages more off the cuff funny one liners. Here's an experiment of mine from a couple of months ago, on a duplicate news post: http://www.hnsearch.com/search#

How is an ad a minimum viable product? That's insane. You can't sell it - it's a marketing exercise, not a product. As a mechanism to get pre-orders, or gauge demand, maybe, but it's still not a product. The point is that for something to b

The point of an MVP though, is to start small and build your VP incrementally. If you can't do that it's not an MVP - it's a prototype.

Ridicule is an extremely poor motivational tool, and when someone of Linus' standing does it, other people think that makes it somehow ok. There are many ways to reinforce meritocracy, or reinforce a culture without telling people to shut t

Dressing down someone like that on a public mailing list is absolutely picking on them. It's not an argument, and is basically no different to the behaviour here.

Yep, my bad. The 'arthur' part of the url must've messed my brain up.
