Off topic, but I had to make an Android game for my Junior year final project, and I think I used that exact same space ship sprite (it was an Asteroids clone with motion controls).

I tried using Clojure to build my personal website. I love it, and can't wait to see where it goes next. However, the documentation problem is pretty real. Clojure libraries get updated and deprecated really quickly (because the langua

Yeah, I can't tell how many of these are Webkit clones and how many are really novel approaches. The fact that so many of them actually have enough momentum to have a well designed and unique logo really blows my mind though. It's

HN doesn't have that much content, I never feel overwhelmed. The front-page turnover rate is really slow, to the point that I pretty quickly get my "fix" and then leave. Over the course of a day I might sink an hour into it,

Man, I learned about Betteridge's Law a week ago, and ever since I've been having some serious Baader-Meinhof. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baader-Meinhof_phenomenon

Short selling is a different game. In essence you're betting that the price will go down. Right now the price could go down $500, and you'd make $500. However if the price rose $10,000 you'd lose $10,000.

This is a dumb question, but is Julia named after anyone in particular?

My problem with /r/programming is the front page. If you go below 15th place you'll see a cesspool of posts with interesting looking titles, tons of downvotes and no comments explaining why. I feel like the readers there are

One of mine was "password1". All the hints were things like "usual", "standard" and "the one I use everywhere". Although not unexpected, this is scary: Not only are people using the same password ever

Fair enough, maybe it only affects a small number of people. Still, if there's an easy to spot solution (like if the photo and counter are in the same <div> or something) it'd definitely be worth checking out. Especially if

This has always bothered me, both on Amazon and the iTunes app store. No lie, when I published my first app, one of the comments was "I'd rate this zero stars if I could." and my first thought was actually "wait, why can

One thing I noticed: The live count of how many people are reading this post is cool. However, every time it updates, it makes the author's picture flash, which started to give me a headache.

I would absolutely do the same. Get one of the apps that downloads WikiVoyage and you have a detailed guidebook for all of Europe (including phrasebooks for every language) that doubles as a camera and flashlight and fits in your pocket.

It's a bit more of embarrassing if you're the Sass consultant and the client is the one bringing it up. At least, that was what I gathered from the article.

I was always under the impression that PHP hate comes from design flaws that make it easy to make mistakes, not from it being necessarily slower.

I don't count myself among the enraged, but I understand why some people feel that way. A tool that is pretty central to a lot of people's work lives was changed in a non-trivial way without warning, without their input, and with

Either that or just expose the formula for calculating cost. The plans are too exact to really be "plans". Is anyone thinking "I have exactly 52000 users right now"? I feel like bigger brackets or a sliding scale would b

For all the talk about how "MongoDB totally has SOME use cases", I've never before heard of a use case where it would be unambiguously better to use a document store. Thanks for explaining that so well.

I'm pretty sure they were all caricatures. The ascetic's code uses a Y-Combinator, which (as I learned earlier today on HN!) is overkill even if you program in a functional style (basically FP's answer to OO's AbstractSi

I'm pretty sure it's just really well recorded. The voice changes in tone to emphasize different words, which isn't a feature in any text-to-speech program I know of. All that said, every time I read a comment in this thread,
