I believe I had mentioned this before - and received a lot of downvotes for it: I, as a user, wish not to be bothered with emails. I often just briefly want to see what the fuzz is all about. The app then "tricks me" into providin

Harvey, your code looks very nice and expressive with appropriate comments. There is some space for improvements on this matter (well, there always is) but I found it very good to read and easy to follow! Really well done, keep up the good

Thank you, I will give it a try, I enjoyed the think-x series for a while. You all have been helping me out in a great way, I will start here...

I tend to solve a problem that I fully understand in order to get a feeling for the language and what it can do. For example try programming a version of tetris or blockout. You know what the result should look like and will be able to eval

I feel really bad about the fact that this is a thing. Apparently there are a lot of "entrepreneurs" that will always choose to annoy and damage others for a little currency. Why do these things have to be made illegal? They were

No. I want the website to leave me alone. If it becomes hard to keep track of conversations, then maybe you should have less conversations and only discuss matters that are really important to you.

I feel overwhelmed. It is really beautiful but the math is inaccessible to me.

I like it, it looks really great! However, the html offers a couple of great chances to use angular directives or some databinding. Especially the custom directives offer a great way to show the semantics or the intent of what the page is a

I study psychology. I have a masters in computer science and I am amazed every day anew how much of my old skill is very usefull within other domains. I don't label myself a hacker.

I am interested in building a device like this (for other purposes and not for cats), but I have no idea how to put the hardware together or where to start. I have been thingking about bycicle security a lot lately and a tiny GPS + X (gsm,

I sure do think it is possible. I am not sure how soon you will actually run into problems, but I have been using Dokuwiki, which uses text files rather than a database for all storage purposes. Although it is not in itself a good example f

And this is where meaning is relevant. Good naming is important to convey the level of abstraction. What you describe is as if you were to compare the functioning of, say, the liver, by looking at its cells. Proper naming conveys what you a

Making use of "chunks" makes code better to read. A function is essentially a proper chunk (whereas a comment is a bad way to do the same thing). Depending on the paradigm, I usually enjoy code that has tiny units, but many of tho

In a study that I did I found that bad naming makes people approximatly 15% slower. The comparison was between single name identifiers, abbreviations and "normal" words. Have a look, you might have to translate it though... http

As a follow up on my opinion, here is another item that was recently on hn. Tj Hollowaychuck is leaving node for go, mentioning this discrepancy (runtime focus vs working with it time focus) as a reason https://news.ycombinator.

There is no such tension inherently, yet I have seen a lot of violations of good practices in the name of "more performance". C# might be slower than C++, yes, but the question is: is it fast enough for what I would like to do? Th

I am not so much scared by functional programming as I am annoyed by functional programmers. I feel that they often come over like mathematics professors that just fill the chalkboard with lightning speed and look at you like "seriousl

Thank you for this comment. I came here just to ask what others experienced. I love these buttons (all hail confirmation bias). It would be great to hear from other peoples experiences whether their users use oauth or not.

I agree with @inglor, the post could do a bit more to reel you in. From skimming over the content I could only understand that it is not backbone, modulesmodulesmodules. I found the page has issues conveying their surely valid and useful po

I believe the buttons are correct - a signup with a modern startup web software (ie. an app) feels much less like "starting to use our software" but more like "sign up for this email campaing we're running". Signing

Eric might not be the active agent in this, and I understand the context. Wether Eric feels addressed by this or the person behind the hashtag, I believe that my argument becomes clear.

Please don't make everybody appreciate this story of grief. Everybody who is aware of this now is really sorry for Erics loss. We will accept that cancer is bad. We accept that your daughter dying at this very young age is tragic. But
