"Louie" is just too damn pathetic. It's such a sad loser of a character that I couldn't bring myself to watch. That kind of comedy works for a movie or maybe one season but for me it gets old.

Nearly everyone has had it drilled into them the "Don't reinvent the wheel." nonsense for better or worse. I use lodash in almost every javascript project I start, big or small because it makes my life easier. I'd rather

They exist and are ultimately in the minority. Anonymous apps tend to bring out the worst in people, especially with groups like teenagers and cyberbullying.

Remove all perceived anonymity. Of course that sense of anonymity is what makes the experience richer and safer. I'd rather just live with the trolls. Is it that bad?

I like the simplicity. Been happily using workflowy for some time. It has the ability to drill down and makes lists of lists of lists. I like to map out all my projects with it, can cross them off or add descriptions. If you try it here I g

Wouldn't consider this a "show hn". There's no code, demo or even screenshots I could see.

I've been know to freeze up on occasion, especially in front of a camera. Yikes! I've found practice does help. I scribble down a bunch of notes on what I might say, then record myself with my webcam reading the notes. Surprisingl

I paid for pandora for a period. But now it wants to play the same songs all the time. Moved to spotify. I can listen to an available playlist or to every album from an artist one at a time or make my own playlist and store it for offline u

I went to JC then a state school. I was able to work and pay as I went. Thus no loans. But I might not have as prestigious of a degree or as good an education as the OP.

Ridiculous hit piece based on dubious poll results. There's a lot of angry people in this world. I remember quite a bit rioting in France, revolting in Syria, revolting in the Ukraine, etc. > When asked if they trust the government,

There's a lot of that in there: > Today's programming resembles design and construction of large mechanisms a lot more than word processing. The majority of women just don't find these things as interesting as men do. Do t

>> Removing songs suspected of fraudulent plays is just one example of the power that digital storefronts like iTunes and Spotify have over how we listen to music, and the music itself. These services are slowly writing the rules of w

A "for dummies" style take on the command-line. Not a lot here. When you learn enough X to be dangerous, the take away is you didn't learn X at all. That's why you are dangerous wielding X.

Precisely. This is what killed digg many years ago. It become of vehicle for spam and after I was basically forced out by a mob, I migrated myself to reddit. I left reddit a couple years ago and pretty much only waste time on this news aggr

If the entire plant is automated, how is that profiting from the community? More likely the community is profiting from the company in terms of tax revenue and business fees.

It definitely says "something". Maybe not that the degree makes the person immediately better than one without but that the person is classically trained in the discipline. They have a breadth of knowledge in programming languages
