Someone finally took the time to say publicly how things work... what's all the fuss about?

Maybe it's just me, but I would prefer if clicking on "Pricing" brought me to a page that says "Coming soon", rather than an alert . Also, clicking on the logo at the top left results in a 404.

I don't get the "its syntax turns forty", as if it was a bad thing. If those who attempt to devise a more "modern" syntax come up with things such as Visual Basic, then I'm happy with an ancient syntax.

I know what WAMP is good for, thank you very much. I was referring to the fact that this is nothing new at all.

I might be missing something, but... what's the point of this entry?

You know what? This has got to be the best comment in this thread. Thanks.

Whatever you want, as long as it works. Personally, I think that some kind of 'civil disorder' will happen sometime in the not-so-far future. Not that I would like it, but I fear it's inevitable if things keep getting worse like they're doi

Hehe, wikipedia, of course. The only way to fix the Italian government would be the equivalent of a 'make mrproper', so to speak.

It's working, now.

It would help a bit if you wrote on the README that it's a PHP ORM. I mean, it's not that it takes long to figure it out, but hey.

Nope, I'm talking about this: http://lwn.net/Articles/131312/ Anyway, that was just an example. Generally, what gets written about something that is still new is what will stick in people's head for quite a long time. I believe it's like

Alas, early-days labels persist for many years. Git is still referred to by some as a content-addressable filesystem and not an SCM, which is what Linus wrote in his announcement email. EDIT: and git is just an example.

You're perfectly right. I was thinking about leaving Italy too, that's why I'm trying to amass as much knowledge about software development as I possibily can. And no, the rest of the world isn't any better. What is true, though, is that in

Which is quite sad. I figure they didn't include it for a good reason.

> So Heroku now owns Ruby. Nah, I don't think so. Ruby is a community effort. Should Matz ever turn into an asshole (which just seems hiiiighly unlikely), someone else would fork the project.

I agree. Plus, that background picture screams "LOOK AT ME, ALL I'M DOING HERE IS CLUTTERING UP THIS PAGE EVEN MORE!!!!111one" to me.

I agree with most of what Joe has said. But I love IDEs with features that help me with refactoring. That doesn't seem to be a dangerous shortcut to me. Granted, by the time you know what refactoring even means AND you know that you should

I'll admit I'm failing to see what this article and HN have in common. Care to explain? Thanks.

Me, I really love this "Circles" feature. How I organize my contacts is (and should be) entirely up to me. Others can't see my groups? It can't get any better than that, and I really mean it. But hey, of course I might be wrong.

Yep. As it happens all to often, many people write only because they have a keyboard. But that's not even surprising, if you consider that they probably are the same people that, in real life, talk only because they happen to have a mouth.

Am I the only one thinking that this article is just a pile of bullshit? + launched 12 days ago, isn't it a bit too early to talk about its defects?
115.
by kidmenot 15y ago
True. But then again, if the whole thing is about reusing code, I figure they didn't want to bother writing some minimal piece of software from scratch / tweaking something existing. That being said, I think MediaWiki's default interface is

Well, many of their sites got hacked recently, but that didn't seem to help in terms of hardening their systems from the security standpoint. So I must wonder: will a site like that prove to be any useful? I don't think so.

by kidmenot 15y ago
I agree. The same is true for a lot of other articles we happen to read. The title says one thing, but the actual body of the article has little (or even nothing) to do with it. Hey, I understand their job is getting people to read what t

I'm new here (this is my first comment by the way, so hello everybody), but I'm sorry to see a long-time contributor go. The fact that I'm new doesn't mean I don't see that the signal-to-noise ratio is not really good. I came across some ve
