I couldn't agree more. the article is well written, but the title puts me off a lot. How am I going to show this to my boss, and have him take it seriously with such an infantile title?

Copy and pasting blocks? That's a red flag right there, remember that next time you're doing it, and think how you could do it without the copy and pasting

I can't say I've noticed this before, which leads me to think it's probably an American colloquialism, but that's my default response to these kinds of things. Could be that I've just not noticed it.

I invested in a Microsoft ergonomic natural 4000 keyboard. Probably the best thing I ever did, now i have significantly less wrist pain at the end of the day. It did take a bit of getting used to though, but not that much, only a day or so.

they should give more weight to the "verified purchase" reviews, I might even go as far as to say disallow reviews unless you actually bought the product, it would stop a lot of this, and the stupid review bandwagon that people se

I can't help but think this is a problem in america and not a problem in tech. Over here (UK) I've never seen or heard of anything like this. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong and I've just never seen it. Either way, it

You really can't think of a technical reason? Now I am not involved with IE at all, but i think it's safe to assume that they are most likely using new APIs which are specific to that platform. Now that's not an excuse, as t

It would be much better progress if they could use the latest IE on whatever version of windows, rather than being forced develop for the lowest common denominator. Chrome has it right, it's always the latest version, and firefox is be

True, but after that I'll still be stuck on IE9, and the trend will continue.

I don't know either, but that's HN for you. meh It's a shame though, because the new IE isn't so bad, but while I have to develop for IE8 it's as good as useless :(

Define won. This is the way I see it. Perl5 is still being actively developed, perl6 is coming along nicely, cpan more awesome than ever, and there's still work for a perl dev. If everyone was using the same language, then we'd al

the people who get paid the most are those who can call them experts in the field. you can't do that if you tinker in every field. pick something, work on it, find work doing it and get paid the most. if the work goes away and you need

what is it with gamifaction? I don't get it - it doesn't motivate me at all, infact it probably has the opposite effect.

I finished at least 3 things today. 4 if you count making the bed... why is this site trying to make me lazy? and if I don't want to finish something, then I won't. I'm not a machine, I want to have some days off, usually no

In my experience running https://thisaintnews.com the hardest part is getting and keeping users. It would probably be easier if I did some marketing, but that's too much like work! Still, it's not doing bad for somethi

jack of all trades, master of none. no thanks, i'll stick to being an expert (and getting paid accordingly) in one field, and adjust when needed. you don't get brick layers randomly learning carpet fitting and welding "just i

I've never found it to be a problem, I guess I must be good at context switching. But then again I'm usually working on 4 or 5 things at a time anyway, so a few interruptions don't seem that bad! I like the break, and then th

in my opinion, it's all about time and motivation. I have neither, therefore i'm not a 10x programmer. but if i did, i could churn stuff out no worries. but instead of that i spend a lot of time procrastinating and working like a

Even one small paragraph will help, something like, "When you click on the button, it will spin up a bunch of workers (1 for every 10 images). These will optimize the filesize of your images in parallel, and then push the changes back

i'm not sure what it is, or why i would want it. or even what kind of optimising it does i'm not complaining, just suggesting that you should work on your homepage to make that crystal clear, it'll help with people who might
