While I'm also often annoyed by global negativity on HN (which, to be fair, has greatly improved lately, way to go guys!), I didn't read parent comment as aggressive, but like if "ummmm no" meant "wait, let me think

Wait, how does giving free tickets to indigent people relates to segregation based on nationality? Btw, here in France, we give a lot of free stuff to people in need, and we certainly won't allow this to be prohibited by European treat

I confirm I heard them say that too (they were asking for each other names, one replied : "My name is cleverbot").

This is a very sane exercice to do, while obviously not something to recommend for production code - but I guess it's not the point. We often take our tools for granted, without thinking about how they were designed. Doing such exercic

There's also an other reason to go with the "almost released" one when starting a new project: bootstrap has been historically painful to migrate. Upgrading major bootstrap version means changing class names in whole codebase

Ahah, nice troll. But I still prefer to both those options the way I do it : I just shop on store's website and ask for delivery. This allows me to have shopping lists that I can use as templates, I can shop any hour of the day and tak

I love piwik, I find it way easier to use than google analytics. One thing interesting in it, nowadays: you have direct access to data in database. This is priceless to find data to feed neural networks.

An interesting thing: https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/blob/master/src/conc... Looks like they took the Fiber concept of ruby and made it into something like goroutines, with channels handlin

I've hated MS a decade ago, because of their position against linux and because of IE6. I've watched them doing big efforts the last few years, and I welcome them - I can't wait to feel good about them. That being, this artic

This. To provide context, we have a problem in France (I suppose we're not alone in that) with super rich people buying most press channels, to the point where we can't trust them anymore to do proper investigation job (when peopl

I encountered such clause in my contracts twice, in France. I'm glad to finally know the reason why, it just looked suspicious to me (and when I asked about it, each time I was answered: "this is standard contracts"). The two

Fair point, but this post title should read "donutloop/mux – A lightweight, fast HTTP request router for Go", then :)

Actually, I think it makes a lot of sense from a revenue point of view, for AngelList. Their product allows for investors and startups to meet. But where do those startups come from? What is the reception for their product? Are early users

I like the idea of being able to choose where taxes are spent, but maybe not in totality. If people choose for the whole attribution, they'll certainly spend everything in healthcare when them or one of their family member will be sick

I take it you live in a country where people are ok to see other people living off the street because they presumably "failed"? That's the only reason I can think of which would make it possible for charities to fit governmen

And yet, today's big opensource projects often are driven by big corps. I wonder how rms would reconciliate that. Maybe we can get there the difference between opensource and freesoftwares? In any way, having big companies publishing o

This is fantastic news! I use mostly blender for 3d printing, but I expect the 3d scene to get quite frantic when mixed reality will be around. Really hope we may get an opensource alternative to Unity3d (even if Unity is great by itself, b

Actually, I think feature parity was reached last year and they are now ahead (if you consider pure github, without its ecosystem). You can probably find as much things in github missing from gitlab than the reserve. It was quite clear it w

Yep. That's ok, I have forwarded plenty enough :) What surprises me is that a mail with viruses is in my mailbox (my spambox, granted). I guess it was not know it was a virus when it was received.
