I know that HN comments are supposed to be informative and meaningful, but honestly "LOL" is all I can think of at the moment.

Asian cars, Japanese in particular, are generally less advanced. They do not use turbocharged gas engines, have less bells and whistles inside and have worse design for many European tastes. That's just it. Of course, there are excepti

There is a fallacy there - you believe, that if voting Republican does not improve situation, but can likely be detrimental, its better to stick with alternative. The caveat is that this is the reasoning of people functioning reasonably wel

Bernie did use those polls throughout his campaign to paint himself as better oponent to Trump, so I do not believe those were without merit. His main argument then was that he wins with Trump every time while Clinton does not. We can of co

During his campaign he has paid for numerous polls to check the scenario. As far as I know, he won every one of those, which was not the case for Clinton. I believe that it is actually highly plausible, as in my opinion the whole election w

Nice post, though there are some caveats. As a Pole (as some of you know, we do have some issues here too, though many would disagree) I feel at least a bit competent to give you a bit of advice, so you can get out of it better than we did.

That comparison was way better than I was expecting it to be. Go is still on my to-do list, but Elixir parts seem to be quite thoroughly described and without major mistakes. I also like the conclusion and to be honest this is how I always

Working with Elixir professionally for year and the half, having deployed more than one app on production I can honestly say, that it's just awesome. Not a silver bullet, will not solve your problems, but the way it makes you think is

I said that pro users made them rich, I didn't say that they had done it by buying stuff. Apple has been reaping rewards from the pro market for years. It's been those pro users who have been advocating the platform among friends

I do not agree. It is not about magic, it's about neglecting the user group that made them rich in the first place. Apple actually stopped making pro hardware. They're unpredictable when it comes to upgrades(15 Retina ethernal Has

Sorry for my language but this is just fucked up. I honestly don't get how Amazon got so successful at what they're doing(I mostly mean cloud services), if this is the corporate culture they promote. Something just doesn't ad

This is simply awesome! For a long time I have waited for tablets to actually incorporate the most natural way for making notes and generally working with paper. Not going to preorder (waiting 8 months is kind of too long for me), but proba

Well, the hell just frozen. Satya Nadella seems to have really changed MS. Great for them, especially, that I believe Windows to be their worst product.

If this thing can dissipate 200W of heat, that I must say it's truly impressive. I cannot say I want to buy one (I'm not that sensitive about noise), but from technical point of view it seems like a little marvel.

Well, as a Pole... it's nice to know Americans are as dumb as we are. The problem is, number of places to run away just reduced considerably.

People seem to be too rash to bash him about subsidies. Yes, they were standard before. No, phones at the time did not cost nearly as much. Prices of modern top-notch smartphones are insane. The trick was in hiding the price and Ballmer jus

Not really sure what the message is here. Somebody from MS could just answer: "Thanks for the advice. We've been there before. We swallowed whole industries without chewing and we have killed more competitors that we can remember

Honestly, ports is one thing in new MacBooks I do not understand why everyone seems to nag about. Right, you will likely need some accessories for now. But in two years, when basically everything will work on USB-C and your computer will be

For me it's not even about being unix-like (though sounds nice). I would just want them to get rid of all the legacy garbage and start from scratch. They have nice design language, good programming environment, multiple platforms - eve

Remember that it is quarterly revenue. That gives an average revenue of %636K per year per employee, which does not sound that bad.

Great hardware, interface ideas look really interesting too. This could actually be some vision that can get mainstream in the future. I would seriously consider buying one, if not for one thing - OS. After recently installing Windows on Bo

I cannot recommend it enough. In comparison to nginx, you can setup the reverse proxy with configuration many times shorter and https without hassle. Also, what it does is much more readable. It is not without quirks and there is no install

I do not see anything strange in it. Author seems to be forgetting that while there is a myriad of frameworks and programming languages, we all share similar work setups and needs. Also, while a newbie might be afraid to talk with 'pro
