We use it here and have found it to be very flexible. We render a DOM in memory which we can then turn in to a variety of formats: markdown, html, pdf etc.

What's wrong with WkHtmlToPdf? It is pretty damn good in a "it just works" way.

Seriously? A degree proves ones ability to learn.

Agreed. If you've not used DI after 15 years as a "professional" developer, and you are also happy to "boast" about this fact on the Internet, then it means you are very likely an utter shit developer.

You should blog about your alternative approach to structuring code bases that minimise coupling. It may be superior.

On a mature project like SQLite, nothing is premature anymore - including optimisations. The internet is full of dumbass developers unfortunately. Both on HN, StackOverflow, and well everywhere.

I don't believe you. Are you mistaking DI for meaning a full blown IoC framework? DI is merely the abstract computer science concept. In FP land we call it partial application or P/A. But it is essentially the same thing. I honest

See, this is the brilliance of HN. Not only is the OP mistaken as being almost a troll post but anyone who actually warns "er, no guys, this post is for real and you need to understand it or at least respect it to move forward in your

You don't come across well in this at all. 200 classes in a OO project is pretty small really. And you've never used DI ever? Really?

This is a truly fantastic post. It isn't a rant. It's a story of enlightenment that I encourage all HN'ers to read and absorb. Disregard or play down the contents of this fantastic post at your peril. Understanding it and gro

Nobody really "wants" to learn JS. It's a hateful little language and the sooner it gets nuked from orbit or at least abstracted away to become merely the "assembly language of the web", the better. While I don&#x27

There's quite a few articles where China has directly blamed the British government of interference. We have done nothing wrong from what I can see. The USA has, today, made a larger interference than anything we've done by holdin

Maybe so. The truth can't always make everyone happy.

Your example is a link to yourself and two footnotes that link to articles written by yourself. Are you a joker?

"This is far more of a competitor to Google Analytics instead of us." Keep telling yourself that. Microsoft and Amazon will douse the flames of your party before long; they are taking their first steps now.

Cheeky bugger ain't you? "Had you paid attention"? "As I gain experience"? You mean on top of the 20 I already have, and which I clearly used to better effect than yourself as I'm not still rolling around belie

It's pretty rubbish food he just gave you there. This is why F# has the mutable keyword. If you are so desperate to use it, that is. Most good programmers try to avoid it. It's funny that this guy claims fitting the problem to sui

Adaptive tooling. You mean like a FP ML then ala OCaml / F#. I said I like hybrid OO-FP languages for business productivity, rather than concentrating on meaningless software architecture astronautics like that "Blue Book" yo

OOP people are too sensitive! I still use OOP just not as much as I have another tool in the box (FP) that is sometimes (often?) more appropriate.

I don't think that. I think I found a big productivity boost and the ability to focus the mind on more important issues than trying to repetitively trick a imperative language design to do what I want. Always looking for the next step

Don't worry, you haven't reached the right level of experience yet. You'll get there, though you have some attitude problems to overcome first like most young programmers.

Every OOP developer is on a journey, they just don't know it. Some of them will never make it. But some will reach a point of realisation where writing well-designed software comes naturally to them because they've inadvertently s

He didn't. He didn't even sell it. He freaked out big time and just removed it from the app stores, never to be seen again.

I lol'd when I saw "[the codebase use classes but in an unconventional way]" followed by "[i can offer programming support]" Down-votes accepted but let's face it this guy is extraordinarily naive.

This. F# is superior in every way. The constant stream of articles about C# 6.0 are getting ridiculous when .NET already has a language that is a natural successor. C# is for legacy and large corporate red-tape-encumbered enterprise project

.NET is an advantage not a disadvantage. HN can be utterly bizarre sometimes.

Screw C#. Xamarin's party trick is F#. It's basically Swift, on steroids, which lets you write a single codebase to target Android, iOS and Windows Phone.

The effort isn't very high at all? What are you talking about?

Again, my posts here are "lost" on the typical HN sheep. The average Brit doesn't really care about GCHQ or Snowden or the fact we're wire tapping everything in sight. They. Just. Don't. Care. The absolute peak of t
