ah, it's a mobile issue. I strictly use a desktop for HN and was confused about why people were complaining.

Can you explain to me the issue with it being too wide? I may not be understanding it, because I just maximized the window and I don't see any issue, really.

by mreiland 12y ago
I have no issues whatsoever with the width/layout issues, but the expires links... yes.

It absolutely is a factor, which is why I cautioned about a uniform, random sampling. Selection bias implies non-uniformity, and 10, 100, or 1000 samples won't fix selection bias since it is, by definition, non-uniform across the inte

you could ask for a unique identifier that isn't an email address.

Mathematically, 10 is generally considered enough to make broad conclusions, more is always better though. OTOH, that assumes a fairly uniform random sampling. The reason more is better is because it helps leverage against the non-uniform

Just a good alternative, I'm willing to pay, I just get scared sometimes that I'm going to lose out on quality by moving away from gmail. But the more time goes on, the more I hate the interface changes to gmail, and IMAP to my lo

If I could find a good alternative to gmail, I'd take it in a second. Over the years, I've really started to dislike gmail, and most of google's services.

I didn't post that to give you something concrete to attack, I posted it because you claimed to not understand what they meant when they said they don't mock that often. I will respond to 1 point you made because I feel it's

When you test with mocks, most of the time you're not testing reality, you're testing your theory of reality. Think of it like this: How many times have you deployed an app in production, or against production data, only to have

> Making it more testable forces you to separate your concerns/layers, and that's the goal. This exactly, I've made this exact point many times over the years. testing is never the goal.

It's only sensible if you don't think too hard on it. The point is similar to DHH's point, in that a process (in this case TDD) doesn't magically give you good design. Neither does following SOLID, understanding the Law

I agree, see my reply to the post you were replying to.

absolutely. I'm also a big believer in not making decisions until you have more information. Being honest enough to say "I don't know how this will evolve in the future", so implement/duplicate/whatever until

So many people are not aware of this option. I've done it 2-3 times in my life, generally because a company thinks they're going to jerk me around. One was an ACH that came from nowhere (still no idea how that happened, and the

I usually check once/day, and I have I think 10 people on my friends list. 1 of them someone I'm dating, and the rest are either friends, or their wives. It takes me minutes to catch up on what everyone has posted, and about the

I don't have any sources, but it certainly tracks with my experience. I use my ipad 3 for pulling up info when I don't want to move. Watching a movie and wonder who that actor is, that sort of thing. But for normal, consistent us

The first time I saw that line my first thought was along the lines of "holy shit, that technology is insane. How are they overlaying it like that?". I was seriously impressed with it.

Weird, I learned from my lawyer that the typical reaction of apologists is to accuse someone of dictating when nothing was actually dictated. I also consulted my penis, but it just hung there, being impressive. I'm not sure what I exp

No, everyone else is confusing an entire gender with a person. It is not fair to ask person A to put themselves at risk for person B when person B is not willing to put themselves at risk for themself. This isn't about gender, if it we

Since you used the term 'dictate' to describe my response, I'm sure you'll have no problem showing which definition of the word is applicable, and why. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/dictate?
