The only reason you'd take someone's word for something is when you can't derive it yourself, like if the tech isn't there yet. Google introduced nofollow in 2005 to either let people help fill a gaping hole in Google&#x

It would be irresponsible for a machine learning black box like Google's indexer to give much importance to rel="nofollow". Think about it. Imagine you're building the perfect internet indexer. In an effort to generalize

The tree structure is pretty useless and incomplete on a traditional forum. The only information you have is when the user explicitly opts in to a quote-reply. Most replies are written in the quick-reply box (no parent) because they are res

Meanwhile you can't have deep discussion on Reddit or HN. When a new submission is made, the peanut gallery storms the top-level. Then a little bit of discussion nests a few levels, but it's pretty much a one-on-one discussion due

You can normalize data in Mongo and replicate relational database features in your application layer. I'm just curious how that's an upside to using a relational database from the beginning when your plan is to migrate to a relati

Meanwhile, normalized data is what gives me so much flexibility when using Postgres at the start of an app. I just store my data as generically as possible and usually all I need to change under churn is the queries. Denormalizing on day 1

http://package.elm-lang.org's source code is online and implemented in Elm. Not a large application, but it demonstrates a way to break up components like the header, sidebar, and a main content area across files. It's

I'm sure if I fussed enough, I could get a handful of my friends to use some app I was fixated on, just for me, and they'd do it just to avoid stressing our friendship to its end as I drone on and on about privacy and encryption a

If almost all of your Tor traffic is abuse, exposing it to your users to vote on doesn't solve the problem, it just gives them a worse experience. Obviously every service has different trade-offs to consider, which is why "Tor tra

I don't think you're reading the situation accurately. Debating and improving our development tools is a sport across the entire field of programming. The status quo already is to keep on using what we're using. That doesn&#x

Most examples of callback hell on blogs and forum comments are just linear pyramids where each callback neatly waterfalls into the next. They are manageable but ugly which I think is why it's common to dismiss promises/await as co

You need to click. Open the game and follow the mouse with your eyes while you click each 8-directional edge of the game's viewport and then click the center. Now you can let go of the mouse (don't need to move it out of the game)

Maybe it could be used for modal keybindings if your gaze changes modes e.g. focus between the panes of an IDE. hjkl moves the cursor when looking at the code, but it traverses the file hierarchy when looking at the sidebar, and enumerates

If I throw a banana peel on the ground like the prankster I am, my expectation isn't that everyone is going to slip on it. Most people won't, but I might prank someone if I'm lucky. Spare us next time, please.

Of course ads are a good business model for journalism. The dying business model is easily-detectable, obvious ads that can get defeated by NoScript or a regular expression.

I've seen ++i vs i++ cause so many bugs that whenever I see it, I stop to ponder if the author got it right. It's like in Javascript where I stop to check if the author intended for `if (x)` to take the false path if x is "&q

That makes sense for endpoints like /admin, but it's more confusing than it's worth for users when the endpoint is otherwise rather public. Well, just see this comment thread. As an example, in this case with the /issues

OFFSET is not "handled by the engine". It heapsorts the entire dataset before you offset to a page. The top-level comment is asking for good ways to paginate. OFFSET works on localhost and with hundreds of rows. My solution is one

The downside is that OFFSET is slow if you have a lot of items, like on a forum. At which point you could assign each post in a topic an indexed `position` column that always increases from 0 within that topic, which lets you jump to arbitr
