Couldn't a site just declare a single session ID as essential, and store everything else server side? Or is the problem that you usually don't keep server side session data indefinitely? I suppose you couldn't use client side JavaScript on

Could use some topic tags to cross-reference the material covered, so you can see a particular topic evolve over time. Plus the site is just too anonymous. Perhaps that's on purpose, to underscore the 'unbiased' angle, but it's a little eer

True. For cynical people and coders used to a corporate environment, 'markting' is often something which overhypes a product, or makes promises in a sales situation that they then have to put up with and develop. Whatever it's called, marke

I fully understand and agree with the rationale, hartror. It's just a little difficult to reign myself in and exercise the kind of self control needed here. But the inevitable and swift downvotes I've gotten certain helped to drive the poin

For me the issue isn't whether another language or framework is better for the job at hand than the tools you've spent time building up an expertise in. The thing that matters is that you don't develop a closed mind which prevents you from

As I've painfully discovered myself, being humorous, especially sarcastic or filled with dry humor often attracts downvotes too, no matter how funny you thought the joke was.

Kudos to the developer for having a nicely presented web site for the project too, and not just a github repo. All too often, a lot of awesome projects hide on github without some upfront presentation of the work beyond a short README file.

You're going to have to become more knowledgable about git anyway when you start serious development. Basic commits and pushes aren't too difficult at the beginning. I use Linode, but it requires a little more technical knowledge, as you're

There's room here for a dedicated site to focus on all the little design widgets that a developer needs too: Login boxes, modal dialogs, growl style notifications, mouseover effects etc. There's a lot of individual jQuery plugins available

I got excited when I read their intro that talked about how mobile platforms lacked the real estate for proper debugging, until I realized there's no way this is going to help in current iOS mobile app development. I'd be surprised to see A

Well, it is (was) the weekend after all. Nothing wrong about soliciting for feedback on HN, but some context like thisnis useful.

Trying to circumvent their decision like this is going to make things worse with them, not better. Try and work with them, not against them. If that fails, move on. You miht be overestimating the value of Facebook for additional traffic.

So basically, Google has too many people for them to be able to list them all. Or Google didn't want to try and list them, thinking they might miss someone, or subject them to poaching. That seems to be a fundamental problem with humans.txt

I liked his earlier Play by Play preview videos better, where you actually got a small snippet of the conversation as a sample, so you could get a feel for each of the featured coder's style and tone: http://peepcode.com/products/play-by-p

I'll confess, I hadn't looked into my assumption further until now. Details of the US sanctions against Libya can be found here (look for the Executive Order 13566 PDF): http://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/sanctions/Programs/p... The

Any noticeable subscriber increase since you posted the first article on HN?

Slightly unrelated, but given the current sanctions, you can't renew a .ly domain name right now as a US business, correct? Bit.ly's domain name expires early next year, last time I checked.

When was that page last updated? Look at the machines/OSs referenced on it: OS/2, Acorn, Amiga, Win 95/98/NT! I haven't seen the string 'ftp' mentioned on the same page so many times in years.

Advice for people making screencasts: If you're not confident about your narrating abilities, at least include text bubble explaining the major points and steps you're trying to bring across. Unfortunately, the music backtrack overshadowed

Away for Canadians (based on geo IP) to be able to log that they want access to this service would be great. I don't expect that this kind of petition is going to be effective, but the relative number of votes between each service would be

Whenever I see a viral based beta signup referral scheme, I start to wonder if they don't have faith in their app surviving and thriving on it's own merit. I prefer to drag my friends/followers in when I've actually had a chance to see and

I looked this up recently, and it looks like it was bumped from 200 to 500 in the last year or so.

Valid point. Although, maybe a remote controlled one could be made smaller or dive deeper and thus be less easy to detect. It could be made more solid through and through, thus be less likely to be crushed at lower depths, thus become small

Odd choice of title. I would have thought the post would be about where Buzz is going as a service, or perhaps what pieces of the the made it to other services. Well worded blog post titles, matter, people.
