(disclaimer: I work for Google. My words are not theirs) At first I thought "oh. Google fan fiction. This is what we have come to." After a moment, though, I realized that this article isn't really any different from the other hyperventilat

The author assumes that there is a linear relationship between the amount of money that a creator has at their disposal and the resulting "production quality". So, once Jenna Marbles starts making some real bank, out come the camera crews a

It is up to them, but the parent is arguing that it's a bad business decision, and I agree. Even their "student" versions are wayyy too expensive for people to dabble with (especially penny-pinching students).

Making mocks is doing something. I don't think it's healthy for programmers to discount the efforts of designers or vice-versa. Now, it's easy to make mocks that gloss over the real challenges or nasty corner cases, but it's also easy to

Note that the "download" attribute is extremely useful when the href is a data or blob URI [1]. This allows you to construct the file that the user is going to get in Javascript, rather than server-side. For example, if you wanted to write

"Inheritance" doesn't really exist in JS. We use that word because we don't have a better substitute, but what Javascript has is simply code sharing . You can share code between multiple objects. This is accomplished by using prototypes. A

Really? Really? Has Hacker News become this childish? I'm sorry, but this is getting a little out of hand. I know people are still upset about Reader's cancellation but come on . If we're at the point where everyone just shits all over w

I don't know, he/she didn't really "make a case". Read it again -- the OP doesn't actually say anything in the grandparent post besides "they used to be great, but now I hate them". Why does the OP hate them? Who knows! The fact that such

Your post is wonderfully self-righteous but not very helpful or insightful, unlike some of the other comments below. This makes me sad. I hope more people vote the latter up some more. The fact of the matter is that someone is always unhapp

This just seems to boil down to well-run meetings vs. poorly-run meetings. Standups are meant to be light-weight meetings where everyone gets back on the same page. If that's not happening, then someone isn't running the meeting correctly.

Nitpick: I'm not sure that append() will trigger a reflow for every call. That will only happen if you interleave calls to a reflow-required property such as clientWidth. Anyone have a definitive answer?

The best Thanksgiving turkey I ever had was not brined but was salted and then roasted at an incredibly low temperature (~250) for many, many hours. The result was delicious, but it ties up an entire oven for most of a day, which is simply

All right, so I have a slight bone to pick with Marco. This is actually a fairly well-written article and I'm glad that people are engaging with it elsewhere in the comments, but I'm just a bit confused that he's choosing to write it now ,

“I’m too stupid to know that what I’m doing is stupid” I agree that the OP's smartass writing style is more annoying than anything else, but I really didn't like the quoted phrase above. Calling someone stupid because they don't k

I was a little surprised to hear "use document.createElement, it's faster than innerHTML" since the conventional wisdom was exactly the opposite a few years ago. Someone has already written a decent JSPerf to test this out: http://jsperf.c

Regardless of one's stance on animal rights, this seems like a clear case of corruption. It makes me angry and ashamed that these politicians appear to have been bought and paid for. I can't think of any arguments that could convince me tha

Does the title of this article propose a false dichotomy between two equally unlikely outcomes, or was that a giant waste of 15 paragraphs of my time? Look, JS is a lovely language, and it's fun to write things in Node. However, no one thin

For the lazy, here's a summary of the claims that LV/DN is making: Some icons appear to be heavily inspired by LV. Here are three icons (circled) from Flat-UI: http://i.imgur.com/xDDULcG.png You can see that the gears and news icons do be

The OP was incredibly lucky to find a mentor like Jurgen. Being handed a thoroughly "proofread" review of your work is perhaps the best way to improve at almost anything. Unfortunately, creating such high quality feedback demands more time

Some random anecdotes: I went to Pomona College, which was a very different place than the one described in the Crimson article. While I'm sure cheating did take place, I was never witness to it, nor was there any cultural expectation that

As I tried to make clear in my comment, I was taking issue with his/her method of delivery, not what he/she was objecting to. His/her point is a perfectly valid one, but that's orthogonal to whether he/she chooses to be nasty.

No offense, but you've managed to wrap up a perfectly decent thought with a wording that makes you look like an asshole.

This video seems fake (despite its high production value) for a variety of reasons. 1. Google's ads are usually made by Creative Lab and this is not at all their style. Or the style of any other Google ad. It bears more resemblance to an Ap

The parent's point is that she is a target because she is a woman , and society gives such people more tools to abuse women than to abuse men. This makes it a sexist act. There are significantly more males in this industry with significan

I don't know the details, but at any institution that large it would be an administrative dean of some kind, or the principal counsel for the university.
