Sure, programming is a job, like working on cars is a job. You can be mechanic in a small town, or work for an F1 team. It's your call. Just take a step back and ask, "what is the company I work for trying to do?" And if you

I believe it's the same reason why people are sticking with facebook--their friends are there.

I mean, I don't wanna draw conclusions, but it's very strange that so many accounts are compromised compared to, say, facebook. On facebook, it happens, but it's because you were phished. Too bad there's no insight from

Awesome post! The diagrams are really great additions. I look forward to the rest of the series. :)

How about restricting the poll to "yes" and "no"?

Maybe I'm out of line, but if you're planning on tearing into what's wrong with something, try to offer something positive as well. Your feedback was great and constructive, it's just not very nice . I'll be honest

This looks really cool, I can't wait to hack around with this! Question for the community: I don't have enough experience to know how this stacks up against other servers out there. Also, how do the people HN enjoy using java as a

I agree that saying,"Ideas are worth nothing" is kind of weak, and I'd like to explain why. Ideas are cheap and contagious, execution is expensive and risky. When I think about the concept of an "idea" vs "exec

This is actually remarkably similar to Backbone.MarionetteJS, only, swap the O with C for Controller (but don't be fooled, even their docs say it's not the most fitting name). For those interested in learning more about Marionette

This looks really cool. My intention was to poke at it, check the source, etc.. and when I was presented with a signup form, I swam away. Please, if you could, try making a publicly available demo (without signup).

My GF just said, "I can't wait for you to get the phone so I can install instagram while you're asleep." I really hope apple figures out a way to solve this problem. I just want to point out that although this sounds sar

But it is a lot cheaper as it doesn't count against your monthly bandwidth. I read this as "cost savings plus added security."

Not a bad idea! I also wish HN was community developed, it would be awesome if I could submit a pull request to add better code blocks in comments.

I came to the comments to say exactly that.

Actually, I think M$ just bought themselves a lot of power. Microsoft's achilles heel was always hardware, and Nokia's was software until recently when they started pushing Windows Phone OS. So the way I see it, M$ just bought a h

It's not seperated from the text at all. I feel that if it looked nicer (like GitHub in that they seperate it out) would be more pleasant to share and review code. Maybe I'm just asking for too much, tho.

This is a very interesting idea. Although I still prefer the "jquery" way of passing in success/ failure as options. In fact, depending on what framework I'm using, I even trigger a success or failure event so it looks m

Honestly, if you're just starting out, go with Backbone. Start there, then add marionette to the mix. From there it'll be a lot easier to understand ember or angular. Ember will feel a lot more natural from that point though. The

How can you truly rank CS students? Is it by exam scores, or ability to memorize algorithms? Maybe it's by code quality, or fluency? Just asking because when I ask myself, "am I good programmer?" I come up short of an honest

Maybe this is bad to say, but whenever it comes to "me needing a book" the first thing I do is google "$BOOK_NAME pdf" and check it out. There is a catch though.. if I find the book a good asset, then I make sure to buy

Amazing stuff! It's things like this that makes me proud to be a developer. This leaves me wondering, how does one go about designing such a system? Are you planning on doing a technical write up soon?

UPDATE: I seem to have been voted down. Yet, I have no idea why. Thanks, HN.

This was something that really prevented me from pursuing Firebase as a real asset, despite its easy real time socket magic. If there's a diagram to "roll your own" after, though, it's probably moot (forums/ chat).

It's not a matter of rating frameworks, it's a matter of purpose. Django and rails are designed to go from nothing to product as quickly as possible. Plus, thanks to better hardware and scaling techniques, it's easy and affor
