I can do that (I think I can flag, but this was not always the case), and silently grow to hate the content on HN as flagging fails to catch the borderline cases (and possibly devalue each individual flag). Or I can break that rule to voice

I know it's tacky to meta-complain, but public interest articles are one of the reasons I stopped reading Reddit. I am looking for one particular kind of "signal" in that signal-to-noise ratio, and while this might be of interest to a popul

Evan Priestley (lead on Phabricator) doesn't actually work for Facebook anymore. And he's doing what he like. What's so dubious about that?

But it is clunky. It's a threat, but it's clunky. Roku - weird platform, but improving. BrightScript has its issues, but it does support HLS and VAST for ads. Boxee - buggy. SamsungTV - horrible platform, horrible (borderline abusive) appro

Altering the logging table scheme once it reaches several million rows? Not fun. I think flat files are much easier to scale.

I always take a second look at a LaTeX resume, if only because learning enough LaTeX to make a decent resume is a positive indicator - albeit merely a cosmetic one.

I use prgmr and they are fantastic for the geek who knows how to handle themselves. You also get a pretty decent /64 IPv6 allocation. Their hardware console was enough for me to install Arch Linux despite no official support for it. It's

I think you're turning this too corporate too soon. At this stage your most powerful evangelists will be hobbyists and spare-timers. When I write code, I like to write it open-source. Setting the obviously negative connotation aside, it i

Don't know about you, but while I knew video phones existed a long time back, almost all of my calls with my parents recently have been over Facetime, now that there's a simple, intuitive way for us to use it (I bought them an iPad). Auto

Viewing source of the internet around the time I was just starting elementary school. Educated me a bunch, especially since the internet back then was super-primitive. People were using VBScript back then. I had no mentors, so when I took a

Sold out as of now. I had been trying since 7:00:00 - and still could not get a ticket. And I need one for work, damn it - I actually care about Android development. I couldn't care less about a free device.

I suggest some of the following setopt's: APPEND_HISTORY AUTO_CD HIST_IGNORE_SPACE HIST_IGNORE_DUPS HIST_NO_STORE AUTO_CD is nice because you can just straight-up type a directory and it'll go there (i.e. .. or tilde). HIST_IGNORE_SPACE and

Seems like the fate of any popular news aggregator is to aggregate things of general interest, no matter how well-targeted it begins.

I suggest you audit CS classes at Berkeley or Stanford if at all possible. I'm also a very practical programmer, but being exposed to the ides and theory are important, if for no other reason than you are aware they exist and gain an expand

They take opposite approaches. Maven gives you scaffolding; it's up to you to customize it. Ant gives you practically nothing, but you can do whatever you want. If you want to code on the shoulders of giants then Maven will help you much mo

You can set up Artifactory on a nearby server you own and proxy all of your package requests through it. Works quite well.

Maven. * Cross-platform. * Easy access to remote packages as soon as they're posted. * Versions must specified, so builds are very repeatable. You bear the responsibility of updating your dependencies, but you don't get surprised if a ver

Don't be too depressed. I've been programming in some measure since I was ~4, and I'm 23 now. Many of those years were me slowly teaching myself, because I had no mentors. It's really not about time, it's about projects and people. You lear

Oof. Hard to let that Fallout 3 comment slide. New Vegas was a spiritual successor to Fallouts 1 and 2, and was an amazing sequel. I'd like to know more about how she believes Fallout 3 exceeded New Vegas, as New Vegas was arguably closer t

Nice! All the best to Yishan! He'll need it, that's for sure. [edit: Okay, apparently pointing out struggles Reddit will have in maturing is not welcome here. Rest of post deleted.]

Perhaps I should have clarified and added some more nuance. If the vast majority of the classes you write are, by design, intended to be directly run from the command line as their primary mode of execution, another language may be better-s

For someone who prefers to write Java on the backend (it can be made elegant and not enterprise-y, I promise), can its rubyisms (on rails) be mapped easily onto other web frameworks?

I'm trying to learn Backbone, I really am. But there's so many tutorials suggesting everything that I don't have a clue how I should structure a project and what to think about as a codebase grows. Granted, I'm fairly new to Javascript, bu

Seriously. I've been doing Java for years and it had been so long since I wrote public static void main etc. that I had to look it up. If you're writing mostly classes to be run straight-up from the command line, you're doing it wrong.
