So I'm guessing it's not a watch since they can't fucking tell time.

My biggest issue with HN is the the automatic dismissal and downvoting of comments which discuss non-sexy legacy technologies. Reddit seems to be far more pragmatic about tech choices while HN leans heavily toward the dogmatic side.

Need to find an archived version but it caused a lot of arguments in 2009/2010: e.g. http://rethinkdb.com/blog/the-benchmark-youre-reading-is-pro... references similar benchmarks Can also link simply to the HN dis

After MongoDB published their write speed benchmarks based entirely on unacknowledged writes (e.g. how fast can you write to a socket?), it's been a long downhill ride with an immense amount of inexplicable ignorant support.

Curious why a developer of low-tech-requirements games like these wouldn't use something like Unity and eliminate most of the multi-platform hurdles.

Sure I get using existing tools but I'm trying to grasp the real value here. So I should view it as an analytics platform that supports completely adhoc data types? Because, to me, the first main selling points it makes on their site I

I still don't really grok what value keen.io provides. The storage and querying of data (including unstructured) is pretty easy (and has been for a long time) with numerous ready-to-go solutions. Is the value mostly on the visualizatio

Founders probably had a lower liquidation preference than early investors. The acquisition didn't meet the minimum return requirement of these early investors, so nobody else received anything. Read your term sheets carefully, this isn

This is really cool. I'd love to see this by technology composition too.

I'm continually shocked at the lack of options when it comes to having 16GB of memory in a <15" laptop. As far as I know, the only options are: MBP Chromebook Pixel System76 Galago Anything else that even exists?

We need a model of the bust so we can start printing these en masse on our 3D printers.

Ad blocking software, until it comes default in a browser, actually helps the industry. The sort of people who run the software are also the same people that ignore ads anyway. By removing yourself from their audience profile, they are able

The primary advantage of Redis is native data types and access patterns beyond simple key-values: lists, sets, sorted sets, hash tables, pub/sub, hyperloglog, and scripting (lua) support. Being memory-based was simply a feature but not

They're probably demonstrating that the Chinese government can leverage nearly the entire Chinese internet userbase to DDOS anyone they want, at any time, and the easiest protection mechanism is to block Chinese IPs. Which is exactly w

We turned down an investment and went the revenue-funded route instead. We grew a bit slower but it was absolutely the right decision.

I'm not saying nor worried about statements which are hateful, sexist, racist, etc. Like most mature non-brogrammer companies, we don't have those sort of issues in the first place. I'd be worried about company strategy, visi

I completely understand the risks associated with user passwords and hashing algorithms. But you know what? That shit gets leaked all the time. It's not uncommon and unfortunately, users are accustomed to it by now. It's relativel

by meritt 12y ago
Why is everyone worried about what hashing algorithm was used and not if their company's private chat logs are about to become public knowledge?

by meritt 12y ago
Keep their attitude toward security flaws and the disclosure today in mind when you consider what would happen if your entire company's private chatlogs suddenly became public. Same goes for Hipchat too. User accounts and passwords are

Because why would a company make a blog post on what color adjuster their company uses, and if they did, why would anyone care?

You include the word like normal, I'm saying tagging it isn't going to be helpful in the long run. Not to mention you're already including the word "should" and now a bang too? Could have very simple language detect

I don't agree with the verb tagging personally. It's irrelevant, isn't? Someone need to "do" something. The particular word choice doesn't impact the necessity. @who is the assignment #what is the task name @wh

As a long-time and fairly technical MySQL user and only light experience with PostgreSQL, can you suggest the best reading material (in addition to the user manual) on the subject? Comparatively, for MySQL, my recommendation would be '

Hrm, that's a bit of a red flag to me. Why bother raising so much money if you're not going to utilize it? Surely growing your business will outpace average annual investment returns. I'm sure the investors have to be annoyed
