I'm sorry if this hurts your beliefs, but in what way are aggregated and anonymized data exploitative? Every "offline" store does it. How do you expect businesses to make profits if they can't look at what drives their r

"goat blog" is not a great query to explain an acronym, though.

Big Theta isn't "average case". It describes an algorithm with the same asymptotic lower and upper bounds. How would you even formally define an average case, when the result depends on the input?

Is this the next iteration of the "I browse with javascript disabled" HN comment?

Is it so hard to open the link before posting a snarky comment? It takes five seconds and you'll avoid looking like a fool. Peak HN.

I don't think it's a minority. It's just that those who dislike these trends are far more vocal than those who appreciate them.

That's true on Linux, where the container shares the host's kernel. On Windows, they need to create a Linux VM and run the Docker daemon inside it.

I know! Too bad they don't contribute more, because they've got lots of very precise data from different public organizations.

In Czechia, for example, there's a fairly successful (in some ways even superior) Google Maps competitor in Mapy.cz. Google Maps are better in Prague and other larger cities. Mapy.cz focused on providing features Google didn't rea

How dare you write a HN comment that doesn't complain about how <thing> used to be so great back in the day but has since been ruined by internet media, corporations, and websites that rely on javascript!

Even if that was the case, it might actually be desirable. I think you can't appreciate the uniqueness in the other cases if you haven't met the general purpose mainstream.

In the EU, you can return any goods purchased online (not sure about in-store) within 14 days without providing a reason. It's a different process from asking for a refund though the company's return policy.

What exactly is your point here?

Don't be ridiculous. Google isn't a scam company that would charge your card for no reason.

We're using Swarm in production for a bunch of our small CMS projects and it's been great. "A little bit on top of Docker Compose" is a great way to describe it. It's just so easy to set up, and I think it's st

This is very true. The key is to avoid the classic "introduce a problem you didn't have so that you could solve it with a product".

TONS of people. And these companies live off of the fees for unpaid "buy now, pay later" mini-loans. Say what you want about freedoms, but it's just incredibly scummy to trick people who don't know better into signing up

Is it, though? It's not just about exposing an extra API endpoint which updates a DB row. There's definitely a lot of other business & technical design decisions to be made, such as retweets and quote tweets. "Since last

Excuse me, WHAT? Every time a PHP post makes it to the HN frontpage, there's a ton of people saying how easy it is to pick up, build a project on, and deploy. I sometimes wondered "hm, maybe I was wrong about it, I might try it ou

> Notifications and collections are features, not a product. What is a product other than a set of features? Especially in case of a paid tier on top of an existing free service.

Damn, imagine working at a place where at the end of each day, the management goes through your shell history and includes it in a "performance review".

If you want to show the user a list of active sessions (and let them revoke one), it makes sense to try and parse the UA and show them a more readable device name.

This is great especially if you're deep into the OOP way of building everything - Java, .NET, ... Really gives a whole another perspective.

This comment is ridiculous. You've shifted this from "too many options for everything" to "any options at all". Also, how are these things framework specific? The API vs templates argument also applies for Rails. Ch
