Not sure why this is being downvoted. As far as I was aware, the point of 0.x language specs was to allow for breaking changes and rapid language development before stable 1.0+ releases. Is there something that I am missing here? I'm n

Imgur pushing it's own website over direct image links is the exact reason I've stopped using it. I understand they have to make money by but I just want to put a damn picture on the internet and send the link to others. I don&#x2

I'm not too familiar with WebSockets. How trivial would it be processing power wise to provide this service? How trivial would it be for a large news organization like BBC to do something like this?

Is there any explanation for why they decided to do this? I would imagine they just don't have the means to test on Mac anymore but I'd like to know why for sure.

Elixir as well.

I'm not really sure about the adoption rate, but Elixir definitely has a Discord: https://discord.me/elixir-lang .

This sounds fantastic and I really can't wait to try it! However, does anyone else find themselves unable to switch away from Chrome due to the slickness? I find the overall design (and especially the design of the tabs) to be far

Ah, the classic "downvote the messenger" response. If people don't like the licence, they should upvote you for visibility of the problem, or make a comment themselves.

by jswny 9y ago
Why would the paid licence be the one to be the unprofessional, custom made (cringe) licence? I would think that's the one that needs a clear, established licence the most. I don't like it.

Looks nice but am I supposed to be able to read the text below the introduction? The monitor component is completely blocking it: http://i.imgur.com/GZPY15u.jpg .

Anonymous, transparent data-gathering perhaps? If Apple stripped data of any kind of personally-identifying information and allowed users to view all of the data that was being sent, it could be a good middle ground. However, the problem wi

I seriously doubt that there is a significant number of customers that Apple attracts by being pro-privacy. On HN and similar environments, sure, plenty of people here value privacy, as do I. However, don't think for a second that th

Totally agree. Lots of commentators here on HN love to get angry about companies like Google collecting so much of their data, which is perfectly justified. However, you have to be willing to accept the consequences of privacy policy like t

I mean, I agree with you but that's not even that bad of an example. I would expect many languages to do something similar. Something like this might be a better example: "\t\r\n" == 0 → true "\

I don't think a private Facebook chat counts as "in public." Yes, it is much easier to find out about this kind of stuff because of Facebook but that doesn't mean that there is no expectation of privacy at all.

Oh boy another incoming Bitcoin proposal civil war in the comments section. I can't wait until nullc gets here. Why is it so hard to have a non-censored, rational discussion about this topic without it becoming some ridiculous flame wa

Agree. Why even bother changing the title? It's already pretty clear what Trump's intentions are, there's no need to embellish anything.

I think this is a very good idea! I know many people around where I live who use local Uber drivers whom they trust to schedule early-morning rides to the airport and things like that. The rider will have the driver come to his/her hou

This is cool but every time I see something like this I think that this kind of data could be seriously skewed by individual language communities. For example, in the Elixir community we have our own forum, IRC, and Slack channel. Because o

I'd be interested in hearing more about how these firms get away with this kind of thing. I interned at an investment firm last year and the lawyer who worked in their compliance department told me how detailed, thorough, and stringent
