1. If you are a new developer, please don't think you HAVE to make perfect decisions about your program. We all started somewhere and made mistakes and kept moving forward. Just don't worry, you will get better with time, and I be

Boilerplates are fine as long as things are working. Suddenly you come across a library you want to add to your project, and the boilerplate is not working, you go in there to figure what's going on, you are now even more frustrated, t

Please don't confuse "Ubuntu" with "Linux". What you are saying is something like "Fire is bad because it burns people". Ubuntu might be the most popular linux distro, but there's so many other option

While I like the idea of not having to deal with these annoying ReCAPTCHA prompts, something somehow feels "intrusive ?". I mean does this mean google is going to keep track of what I would be doing when I visit a site? Say for in

Drones are nice and all, but using a drone as a dash-cam, that's going to be expensive as hell since the drone would have to have a top speed equal to the top speed of the vehicle. Weather conditions, powering the device, obstacle dete

I like to think of plugins like this one playing a sort of "assistant" role rather than a "benevolent dictator" kind of role. So you don't have to end up making ugly hacks to just make it work.

What a fine question to ask on HN. Jesus, who cares, this is a one man project and it's amazing what he's done. And to top it off its released under the MIT license. If this doesn't impress you, I don't know what will.

Agreed. And to add to our comment his name is Ian Grillot the hero in this story. There is a go-fund me page that was set up for him by his sisters. https://www.gofundme.com/a645d-ians-road-to-recovery

This kind of news about racists and bigots running around the country coupled together with the fact that one person at the border can mess up your entire life for not giving away your passwords makes me want to stay away from the U.S for n

League of legends for example has bots appear in PvP games. While these bots are not produced by the game's developers not a lot was done then to get rid of these things. I guess they were tolerated since it just make the queue times

Fail to see what your argument is here. Of-course these are obvious errors once you are given 10-15 lines of code and told that there is an error there. Imagine having this code in the middle of say, several million loc. Anyways the argumen

Wouldn't doing something like this on a live site constitute as a social engineering hack? Hope the author of the projects leaves a very visible warning to anyone who might actually consider including something like this on their appli

Can someone at bloomberg do something about those annoying videos in there. Not even giving you an option to close the damn thing.

This is not the right way to educate people. This is a sort of like shaming someone in to doing something. Many small companies are going have an impact thanks to this. There are many companies I have personally witnessed that use a direct

This is such a dumb idea on google's part (and mozilla's) because people are now going to program dumb workarounds for this. Google seriously has to stop trying to police the god damn web.
