But if he intervenes at this point it will spoil the emergent complexity of the community, and hence the beauty he has created per his revolutionary treatise "Hackers and Painters"

This is just a natural consequence of Hacker News not being a free market. The state controls of the karma system practically guarantee inefficiency in the free exchange of ideas. We need to stop subsidizing mediocrity.

The fact that the author was able to manipulate values 2 pages after the form he modified pretty strongly implies that those values were used on the backend, however.

So, in summary: "A hammer can be used for the following things: 1. To drive nails into another material 2. To 'hammer out' dents in sufficiently soft materials 3. As a weapon 4. As a doorstop 5. etc. Because some people only use it to do (1

The content of the presentation is much the same, albeit pitched at a different audience. To get straight to the discussion at the end (which is impossible effectively to summarise for you and well worth the time) skip to about 26:00 in the

I once worked on a project where 'REST' was synonymous with 'putting query data into the URL before the query string', and this was done so that the webserver could cache the response. I died a little inside every time I wrote a 'Restful' s

The article and your comment share the same deficiency: they don't deal with concrete problems (or at least when the article does it's about edge cases, as you point out). It's all very well for you to have decided that svn > git for yo

Exactly the same story currently exists in reverse for the album 'Kaputt' by Destroyer. It (used to be!) available to stream in full at http://hypem.com/#%21/artist/Destroyer . It's available to download at Amazon's US MP3 store for $5.99.

Fair enough - I clearly missed the point. :)

The point of the piece doesn't seem to be to add anything of value to a debate, rather than to grab some easy traffic and make a joke. Whether it succeeds at the latter is up for debate, of course, but given the aims, who cares about the gr

Maybe there is some innate difference, but with a wide variety of societal factors in play I think we're probably on safer ground eliminating them from the equation before we declare that women are somehow less likely to have technical apti

I think you pick up on an interesting point - the focus on Computer Science qualifications above GCSE level. The drop-offs the article points to are between A-Levels and degrees and, to a lesser extent, between GCSEs and A-Levels. But those

I'd be upset, but T-Mobile failed to get an upgrade smartphone to me within 2 months of my order and so I switched to Vodafone and got it within 3 days. Full story, for the interested: I had recently moved home and tried to use T-Mobile's w

I'm objecting to the article rather than the research, and I agree that the 'double-bind' described does ring true. What I'm objecting to is the conclusion that women should conform to a stereotype in order to be accepted in the workplace.

I'm not too impressed with this article. If we replaced women in this article with any other underrepresented group in the software business and asked that group to conform to a stereotype to get ahead, it would be considered offensive and

There's an assumption implicit in the announcement (and in a lot of anti-Cukes stuff I've seen) that the primary benefit in writing your feature specifications in pseudo-English is that clients get to read/write the features. That's not the
