I've been keeping millions of files in single directories on XFS without problems. The big upside is that you won't need to learn any funky/new management tools.

Pray tell me how you got inside my brain and found _that_ out! Seriously, whether I'll like your feedback or not doesn't really matter; I'm certain it will be valuable in either case.

Yes, you can easily switch between K and Q (and call functions defined in either language from the other [side of the same coin]). K4 is a significantly more powerful language (tables are a first-class data type). Stevan Apter summarized th

Things I like about RingoJS: - Supports (most of) JavaScript 1.8 (thanks to Rhino): list comprehensions, destructuring assignments, expression closures &c. - those features [1] give the language a distinctly Pythonic feel and can lead t

I'd appreciate a couple of observations regarding what you "didn't like at all"; while I don't think that every tool has to cater to every taste or requirement, you are, AFAIK, a long-time (client-side) JavaScript developer, and getting hon

Banning the platform most of your users are using doesn't sound like a great idea to me. There's enormous value in eating one's own dogfood (and stuff running in Chrome is an entirely different kind of dogfood than stuff running in IE, on W

I was thinking about games and (potentially design-heavy) simple apps (quizzes, educational apps &c.) mostly. Regarding the "feel" of Flash's standard UI controls: I agree (and apparently, so does Adobe, as they continue to ship a compl

Tangential hypothesis du jour: Maybe Apple doesn't want Flash (in the "middleware" sense, ignoring Flash-as-plug-in) on their iAppliances because it would offer a _significantly_ superior development experience when compared to Objective-C/

What if the reason for the (undisputed) Flash crash-happiness on OSX isn't only Adobe's laziness (what a ridiculous statement), but also some sub-par OSX system components that almost always seem to be involved when Flash crashes or perform

As an aside, I'd rather focus on having more people exposed to fresh stories; that'd make "cabal upvoting" much tougher.

Probably because the votes weren't all that suspicious: two semi-regular HN readers who upvote a story in quick succession, but certainly not simultaneously - I have no idea how you'd like to "catch" those (or even whether that would be all

Interesting. What's the difference between the default frontpage and /classic? Update: Thanks to SearchYC.com, I found the answer here -- http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1024293

Right now, upvoting conflates at least three (relatively) distinct intents: - "save for later" - "looks interesting" - "did read; was interesting; would recommend" It's the same w/ many other services, e.g. Twitter's stars. It would be rath

No, that the story didn't get any votes just made it a good opportunity to test a long-standing pet hypothesis of mine.

That'd help explain why they aren't paying affiliate commissions for e-books. Apparently being able to sell at $10 is seen as more effective at building a customer base.
