"Simply using" and "hiphop"? An opcode cache is used "simply", whereas a php-to-c++ compiler is not.

Wrong. At least Angular JS brings its own jQuery-like functions and does not depend on jQuery by itself.

WebKit was the reason why I started using other browsers -- I'm very excited to see it in Opera! I wonder what'll happen to Dragonfly, their integrated development platform? It was a neat project, although arguably inferior to Firebug/Chrom

I noticed, but I don't consider it overmoderation (yet). Most often than not it appears to me as the middle ground between sterile titles and Your Average Aggregation Site (TM). In a perfect world there might be separate polls to vote for t

Ah yes. Combine that with the fact that her foot size is EU 35. Conversion table: http://www.i18nguy.com/l10n/shoes.html#adult In other words, it is the smallest foot size registered for adults. Practically non-existent, as it is too smal

My girlfriend sometimes asks me why impractical and uncomfortable shoes dominate the markets; why can't they make simple and useful ones that men wear? I've always speculated it was simply demand & supply. Now I know it is the great leg

Instead I hear "I want my children to play more quietly so they may become better adults."

This is the first time I hear someone saying this about G+ groups. I've felt this way ever since people wanted to move to G+ just for its own sake.

> Is that possible anyway? I believe so, we just have to train those who write decent code and willing to get better, and fire those who write and release their crap commercially.

Well, one conclusion we can draw from the article is that 90% of code is not considered good by author's standards (which I not only agree with but take one step further), yet we weren't presented a case in which crap code could be mitigate

It's a joke like if you could add a parameter in the URL stating you're the CEO of the company and you will be granted access no matter what.

When I want to learn about software, I find myself on HN every time. It doesn't cover everything, but what it does is top-notch.

How so? When you have an LLC and you buy a laptop for work -- isn't that investing money in yourself?

This prediction is insightful, but still just a prediction. However, if you state it like it's going to happen tomorrow, it is also spreading FUD.

There is no difference at all in the style of my code whether I'm angry or not. I just happen to make more typos which makes me even more angrier. However, if poor style were the best emotional indicator, I think the angriest developers are

I've been there, it's not nice. That said, I always try to slow down and focus on quality at the detriment of quantity.

If your project makes me angry, that is the best sign you will ever see. If I'm angry because of duplicate code, quick hacky fixes, stupid function signatures, outdated and harmful comments and workarounds, chances are I'm going to stay awa

Right, because the primary goal to buy a weapon is to keep the front door from getting closed by the wind. Software is generalized, certain weapons are... not so much.

Agreed, but JSON still offers a fine alternative when you have no requirements for XML's verbosity and other characteristics.

Completely disagree. Composing SQL queries even on multiple levels (as in subqueries) might involve a way of thinking that remotely resembles to functional programming, it is way too simplistic for comparison with real world functional prog

This is clearly awesome. First thing I did? Got into infinite loop. This is not exactly a good interactive console for JavaScript, but still very fun.

HN is helping Davids against Goliaths and I consider it a very good thing.

Excellent article. Most projects treat the client-side like a necessary evil and so I've seen pages with thousands of divs that can cause a hundred reflows for a single click. Not good, although at least it made the backend feel very fast i

Most PHP developers I've worked with had no idea of different encodings, serializations, etc. They just wanted to echo $_GET['input'] and be done with it.

I can't tell you much I'd love to see smarter scalars in PHP, but then for a business what's the difference between upgrading to PHP 6 or upgrading to, say, Python?

Is it funny that your towel isn't always clean? Responsive design has its place and the article describes that quite well. IMHO it shouldn't be applied to the article itself.
