one liners are usually frowned upon on HN, the logic goes that it just clutters without adding anything to the conversation, if you just want to agree the logic is you upvote. The problem is this creates the perception of downvote being for

Well it's kind of double edged, there where a lot of people who where forced to move from Unix workstations to NT because it supported some windows apps and companies wanted to standardize on Windows. Those people generally cuss the advent

The question would be if they just grabbed a static snapshot of the site and are using that or if they are actually still pointing back to some of the stolen sites files. If they are pointing back to the stolen sites JavaScript files then y

The time to raise your concerns was while you where part of the organization. If you did so and they where ignored, then they will be ignored in the exit interview. Problems can be addressed politely while you are in a job, if you did not t

In my honest opinion Dojo is a better choice than ExtJS. As was mentioned elsewhere, ExtJS abstracts you away from the HTML quite a bit, that being said for really large apps, ExtJS and Dojo are really the only two games in town. I have bui

I don't know if what you experienced was racism or not, I cannot make that call, but I can say this in my experience Americans by the majorities are not racist. What they are though is culturalist, if you do not make an effort to adapt to t

I would personally use require, it has more momentum and is in more widespread use. While that is not the only reason you should select a tool, in the case of require it translates into more people ensuring that all of the third parts js li

There are a few good ones in here, but this list like almost all of them reads like a trivia quiz asking about a bunch of acronyms that a developer may or may not know and never really digs into the core principals. Companies will never iso

In sense larrys is right, but your observations is correct as well, at any given time there is only so much wealth in a society and the division of that wealth will happen any way you assemble it. But to your point, there are periods of in

Enterprise America is very different from small company America, that is why I made mention of talent retention, it is a tangential but related conversation but it does not really fit in the space of what the article is lamenting. I have wo

This article is slightly dubious. I have done a lot of work for IBM, they have been a great client, I admit that, that fact may bias me a bit but from my perspective, what IBM has been doing is reducing permanent workforce with contract lab

As a former CTO, I take some offense to the classification. Granted I am not your average CTO and at all the companies that I was a CTO for I had code that I wrote in production, I was the type of person that worked in the trenches with my

The big one for those of us with an AT&T unlimited data plan is tethering. They had to grandfather our plans in because they sold them to us as unlimited, but they will not offer tethering as they are trying to force all users off of th

The article misses the fact that there is a roll over cost associated with room occupancy. So booking all rooms no matter the price can actually cost the property money. One has to factor in electricity use, housekeeping costs and complimen
