I think you underestimate how much this whole Russian fake news during and after the election has angered many Americans (at least outside of the ~30% of hard-core Trump supporters). Facebook was already on a lot of people's shit list

I would agree that additional tools like static analyzers and linters add extra work in the beginning, sometimes significant extra work. But once they're up and running, they greatly decrease the amount of work I have to do, in my ex

To be fair to Martin Fowler, his writing is generally more journalistic in its approach. Unlike the others you refer to, who are very ideological in their writing, Fowler describes technologies and programming patterns/approaches,

Yes, use this opportunity to make contacts. But I'd recommend you add a sentence or two to let HN employers know your professional background and skills. I see from your profile that you do Python, Django, and JavaScript, anything else

Well done for sticking up for reason. I first got involved in Bitcoin in early 2011, but left the whole scene in 2015 because of the dwindling number of serious programmers and innovators and the increasing number of fraudsters and "m

I'm afraid that's not how Show HN works. Many, if not most, of the projects on Show HN are commercial projects--commercial projects are just fine. In addition, Swizec is a long-time, productive HNer and has written a number of

It's a reasonable question. It's not clear how much interactivity is required outside of the webview, but if there's very little or none, then it would be perfectly reasonable and simple to use the native mobile APIs to wra

> "Sum types". Hey, let's give an old concept a new name. Sum type has been the standard functional programming language term for this concept since at least the 1970s, perhaps earlier.

This is a very good point and may explain this phenomenon. However, I'm not 100% sure that those numbers are equally distributed. Still, it may well account for the fact that random numbers still resulted in a hit. Good point.

Yeah, at best, that tool from Equifax is unreliable. People have put in fake users and SSN and still it's told them they were affected. At worst, it's just another way to get customers to sign up for a new service.

I strongly agree with your argument regarding economic-class determinism or whatever it's called. After all, some of the most progressive policies for the poor in this country were passed by the wealthiest presidents (FDR, Kennedy, Jo

To be fair, it's very hard to tell your blog posts are actually separate posts, and not just headers for different sections. Yes, there's the dateline, but otherwise it's indistinguishable from a longer, multi-part blog post.

The word you want is "scrapers". Whereas "scrappers" are people who are good at fighting. This has to be the no. 1 misspelling I see online among developers.

JS isn't typically compiled, obviously, but if you're using "compile time" as a synonym for static analysis, then it looks like that's not what this does. He specifically describes it as being dynamic, not static,

I understand the meaning of "long tail", but not sure what it means in this context. Is this an infosec term? I work in webdev and have never heard it used. Are you referring to less-commonly used web app frameworks?

Awesome project, you're inspiring me to pick back up a text editor project I had started to learn Rust a while back. Yours is much more featureful, however! By the way, if anyone else is thinking about doing the same, HN had a great di

Well, as someone else said, just about anything physical could be modeled as a state machine. That doesn't mean we use the term state machine to describe just about everything physical. Are you seriously suggesting we abandon terms li
