> You do the promise-as-a-pyramid example, then say you still have to nest and leave it at that, misrepresentation if not malice. Basically, you have a solution through promises you're not showing either because you were unaware or

> The promise usage here is so terrible it's not even funny. Unnecessary hyperbole aside, I think you're confusing two conflicting goals. One is to provide code examples in order to explain a particular concept to an audience

Interesting idea, but wouldn't the devise register a false hit if the sword hits an obstacle in the environment?

Seems like you're playing a few roles, but the chief ones would probably be: Product Manager: You take business goals and turn them into technical requirements, then ensure the product gets built. Project Manager: You take technical re

Interesting, but I find the user experience breaks down rather quickly when I try to find out how much I could expect to pay if I moved a webapp to Jelastic. Annoying considering "True Cloud Pricing" is one of the headline features. The "P

It'd be more interesting to allow some sort of optional rating system which feeds into something like a gaming matchmaking system. People who consistently send out good reviews will get a rank of "A", for example, and be matched to others

I've worked with managers who could successfully drink with employees as well as fire under performers (often in a way which didn't end the beer relationship), but all of them had multiple decades of experience. I suppose it's much, much ea

From my experience, "most" of those JavaScript developers who "hate JavaScript" are in fact front-end developers who hate writing JavaScript for websites, since they struggle daily with issues such as cross-browser compatibility and inconsi

"Regarding privacy, promoters say the video isn’t clear and isn’t recorded, so it’s not archived." I wish people would realize that everything on the Internet can be subject to unexpected storage. The fact that they're not recording doesn'

Makes sense. How many of the plugins sites try to install are actually useful? I wonder if Google will whitelist the page once this comes to their attention.

You'd probably be better off adding a little bit of equity to the offer.

Easiest way is to just ask really simple technical questions in the submission area as a captcha. Not sure which technical questions would be 100% answerable to everyone around here, but it is Hacker News.

PHP makes it possible for people to use it poorly, yes. Blame bad developers, not the language that lets them write bad code. If I want to write a widget that a majority of designers can easily plug into their own sites, I write it in PHP,

If by access to a professor, you mean someone who knows the material extremely well and can help you with questions or steer you in the right direction, you can get that for free from IRC. I've been leeching off my friends' college educatio

I like how the article suggests that the cost of developing a viral Facebook application is $200 for outsourcing to India. I agree with the premise of the article, though. Except for the $400,000 price tag. Where does that come from?

I'm just hoping Battlestar Galactica's last season can be salvaged. I'd hate to see it mucked up forever by something so temporary as a writer's strike.

This might be better titled as Frameworks vs. Languages. Of course, since most people writing modular code will end up making a framework for their application, it's really Shelf Frameworks vs. In-House Frameworks. Of course, there's also

Exactly. This is something a user of Google Toolbar might have cause to gripe about (assuming they weren't told in advance), but not someone who owns a website with 404s that get redirected. However, for people who like to put sensitive us

I attempted to delete my Facebook account over the last week and it has been a grueling experience. I tried to change my name to "Delete Me", but that name is on the list of names you're not allowed to change your name to. I've had to go d
