Yeah, eBay seems like a piece of shit to sell on. But that's eBay's fault, not the person who leaves bad feedback. And if you're an eBay seller, then you should know the risks of dealing with them to sell your stuff.

But then you risk becoming another horror story of Paypal if things go wrong.

Right, so a buyer who is unaware of the way that negative feedback can impact a low-volume seller is doing nothing wrong. They are using the system that they have at their disposal to leave feedback. I think you're being a tad over-zealous

People aren't up in arms about a negative review, they're up in arms about suing someone over a review. I think the reaction would be the same against the plaintiff if the roles were reversed and she sued Med Express for an negative review.

But to the point, OP's book on single page apps should not be a single page app itself.

MVC is not a good architecture choice for reference material like a book or a blog. So it wouldn't be that useful, IMO.

Sweet. Now, is there any way to code in ones editor of choice and deploy from the command line? Chrome tab crashed on me while I was editing my species and I lost all of my changes.

There have been large sequences of micro-transactions of 0.01 BTC, all on the heels of one another. That points to market manipulation/DDOS. I'll see if I can dig up sources.

Depends on how much your energy costs. I generate 2.7Gh/s with 4x7970 GPUs, which costs about $2.40 per 24 hours, and yields ~$35-40 in BTC at the time of writing.

No one has said that html5 == chrome. Does it not work on other browsers for you?

Nope, looks great.

As someone who works from home, I get a similar response when I'm out of my bathrobe+pjs.

If you're strong in PHP, there's the Slim Framework[0] which I've used on a couple of sites. It's not a full MVC framework though, but there's always an ORM[1] to get what you need out of DB integration. If you need a full MVC, then Django

Do you have a demo online? I'm not going to clone the repo just to check it out.

There's no way that "HTML/CSS/Javascript" should be lumped together.

by lowboy 14y ago
That is utterly irrelevant to this conversation.

I code in CoffeeScript a fair bit, and I don't find it's that bad even without source maps[0] because of the similarity between CS source and JS output. I can put in debugger statements and breakpoints just as I would in vanilla JS. [0]: h

It's a worthwhile conversation if it serves to make people more aware of the struggles/disadvantages of others. Hell, even if it just makes people like you and I sit back for a second and be happy that we have some of these advantages. Agai

I didn't read it as mocking, or that it demands an apology for privilege. It just points out that luck in ones starting conditions is a large, and oft-ignored component to success in the startup world.

In-deed! As a tool, a slot screwdriver is very useful.

I got the point just fine, I just didn't speak to it. You feel that for Vim vs Sublime, one can only be considered superior to the other when context is taken into account, correct? Well, that's not the case with driver heads. There isn't a

As an occasional carpenter, Robertson or Philips are far superior and I can't see any carpenter choosing a slot (flathead) over them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_screw_drives#Robertson https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_scre

Github needs an option for repo owners to replace the "Please review the guidelines for contributing to this repository" text on the issue submission page. Or maybe even an obnoxious interstitial page where you have to confirm that you've r

A few feminists are probably batshit insane, as I'm sure are a few HN posters. Don't generalize about entire groups based on limited examples.

by lowboy 14y ago
Maybe there's a source for it and it's not generalization. I'd believe that a "large" percentage (not the majority, but double digits) of the population thinks that women need some level of care/consideration by men, and that there would be

I agree that the principle of charity should be employed. Sometimes though, the conversation benefits from someone knowing why their arguments aren't solid.
