   You don't need to be a ninja-rockstar web developer to know js. But more importantly, I think it would be useful to emphasize the fact that pull requests don't necessarily need to be about improvements to code.

   I'm guessing zed was bored - or just felt like trolling? The library isn't "functional", does very little of use, and horribly pollutes the global name space. Maybe he just felt like venting about jQuery overuse and snob

   Isn't this just a matter of being in the best environment for what you are trying to achieve? Is it a slap in the face to Canadian arts and culture every time an actor leaves and moves to LA? There are some realities involved and doi

   I don't remember seeing such an individual complaint laid out against any one company. The post was a personal gripe. I'd hate to see the front page of HN turn into a YC complaint board.

   That's great! And it seems to have pretty good browser support.

   I got two out of two and then stopped. This is another "look how many weird results we can get out of javascript" exercise. Gary Bernhardt covered this humorously here: https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks&#x2

   Thanks for the responses. The text is definitely referring to Java methods as functions, and not counting the implicit object instance (this) as a parameter. The text also considers multiple parameters of the same type that are treated i

   I'm reading Clean Code (again). I dont see that code as being particularly bad. But it definitely wouldnt follow the axioms in that highly regarded book. I realize it isnt java but can someone familiar with the text comment on the

    And if you're tired of manually dealing with AUR packages (or just lazy) you might want to look into yaourt [1]. It uses the same syntax as pacman but also searches and installs from AUR. [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org&#x2F

    I'm not really concerned about my ideas. I'm concerned about someone taking advantage of all my time and effort validating a potential market with an mvp, then swooping in with a slight tweak and crushing me with a new viewpoint a

    Early horseless carriages didn't sell well, if at all. Consumers weren't making the decision to replace the horse and carriage. Continuous innovation and industry and government did that. Not until the choice is taken away do co

    Thinkpad T530 works very well. I've got it running Arch Linux with no features unusable. Hardware brightness and volume controls, webcam, integrated graphics and networking all without issue. My only regret is that I paid for Windows.

    I like that distributed space idea but if you're not in a warm climate that would be a serious annoyance. Who wants to go out in freezing weather to get to the kitchen? you could get your exercise interspersed throughout the day witho

    I thought this was going to be about bash, vi, SICP, cryptanalysis, emacs, asm, or maybe something about 3d printers, or fpgas, or soldering fine point smd ICs onto home stenciled PCBs. This isn't about being a hacker at all. It'

    I love the opinionated writing style. I wish I knew more about this so I could relate to the comments about the "compiler braindamage", "mbuf chain stupidity", and "netipl software interrupt bs".

    Apparently some people hate the JS/SCHEME meme [1]. http://journal.stuffwithstuff.com/2013/07/18/javascript-isnt... I'd happily agree to Self rather than Scheme but I can't edit now :)

    Agreed, it looks ridiculous having the full enclosure of the laptop (or phone) rendered and floating in front of you when you could just have the screen and keys separate from each other and independently movable.

    "Your laptop is now a hologram" refers to the fact[1] that you won't need a physical machine (aside from the Intel i5 cpu in your pocket). The keyboard is virtual, and the monitor is virtual. Everything else is physical but

    This seems cool if you want to hold your hands in front of you and spin things around in virtual 3D. Personally I could do without all that - I just want a really nice looking virtual 2D screen projected in front of me so I can finally ditc
