Well, it is easy. Mandarin is a quite useful language if you are living in China, but it wouldn't help you if you are in Iceland. Also, I've heard (don't remember where...) that not all languages are equal when conveying an idea: for exampl

What the heck? What happens if you lose some karma? If you want to insult somebody (and it's related to the context), do it!

Yes. One thing I will never understand is why people considers more regrettable sex and the human body than war and violence. Maybe I'm a little hippie, but I would prefer my sons watching a naked body than a fight. This is a quite strange

Well, it is a hard question. And the best person to answer it are you. I like simple licenses (BSD[1], MIT[2]...), but only if you don't mind people making closed version of it. Being Arc a language, I think you would like to remain the hea

Off-topic rant: why the hell the article is divided in pages? Six of them! This is the WEB. W.E.B. Not a paper magazine. Argh. Sorry, this kind of things really annoy me. Proceed to downvote ;)

You are cloning Hacker News, not Y Combinator. Unless you are planning to fund startups. Hacker news is a social news aggregator like many other, what makes it special is the community (us!). In spain there is a digg-clone called Meneame, w
