I'm supplying a node-webkit app to thousand of clients and I feel you. We thought "Hey, it runs on everything!" would be nice for our future roadmap...but didn't we say the same about Java?

As a developer, I like the point where the recruiter is not trying to bait us with bullshit ("The Facebook of Uber for Porn"). Any mail containing a "our company does X" gets send to the trash.

Why you should not use "should" or any other imperative in your HN contributions if you don't want to be downvoted to hell and back.

The real issue is not the mob, it's the companies kneeling over to bad PR. We've already got mobs in our streets fighting for X and Y (I won't go politically into whether the reasons are right or wrong), except governments (m

Just getting JSON doesn't make it an API. Why can't I POST you a message? Or myself as a new acquaintance? Once I'm your friend, why not POST a meetup for the two of us so I can PUT a new date in it or DELETE it later?

Believe it or not, becoming "homeless" and couchsurfing friend's flats for some time( ) can be a way to retake some freedom in your life. Not having a key anymore in my pockets really felt like something new after having my

Multiple reasons. Some kernels may not get memory back by themselves and expect each application to give it back. We're lucky that the kernels we use everyday do, but we may one day have to write for a target OS where it's not the

In a context where everything "low-level" is handed to us without a "how-to", looking under the hood to build your own thing is always a pleasure, be it a new programming language or a whole OS. To attain this state of z

Go ahead. Call exit(). On your HTTP/IRC/anything server. Just because you couldn't allocate memory for one more client. Now your service is down and the CTO is looking for blood =) Yes, it's far-fetched and like some sai

Off-topic, not. Spam, okay, not, but close. Troll, after the flamewar we've had on two topics and two github issues, giving it more fuel is close. This is not even "news" and the "I-am-picky-about-my-comments" bit p
