   You have to do that at the end-user level if your goal is truly shielding yourself from Google. Wagging your finger at a few of the devs on a news website isn't going to change the millions of websites using client AND server-side Goog

   Maybe it's because SoshiTech is an inbound marketing/content marketing/content farm/black hat SEO website? I clicked on the "Apple" tag in the tag cloud and got back a list of completely unrelated posts. TBH I

   No; there are a lot of problems with Facebook, but I'm pretty sure it boils down to parents being on there. That, more than anything else, will keep kids away. You could also argue that Facebook focuses too much on content consumption

   Recruitment isn't the same thing as a guaranteed job, though; it's more like an invitation to submit a resume than anything else.

    Your "fix" doesn't make sense. I'm looking at this from the perspective of a dev that's looking at OP's code for the first time. You're telling me that I have to sift through the codebase (which I might no

    I think we should get started on deployment considering how often it's swept under the rug as something that the "lowly sysadmins" have to deal with.

    The reason why I checked both out was because I wanted to try my hand at Python and see what all of the hoopla was about. Unfortunately for me, the most memorable part of the experience was repeatedly calculating how many times I could have

    I'm hoping the HN crew looks into this -- 95% of the comments are selling something, and the post itself is useless garbage. There's no reason that this should be the top post.

    No clear winner when npm has more dots than all of the others? What's the point in even comparing them, then? I think npm's approach is pretty cool -- it sacrifices disk space for portability (package dependencies are always insta

    As a PHP zealot, I'm also really interested in this. I drink the OOP Kool-Aid 100% when I code in PHP since it forces at least some level of structure, but I'd love to see a successful procedural approach.

    I'd argue that that's a feature. You're asking for decreased code comprehension and bugs when you start using identical variable names everywhere. I have noticed a lot of "Issues" in the CoffeeScript repo from ang

    The author uses CoffeeScript for completely different reasons than I do. While a lot of the convenience features of CoffeeScript are awesome, I use CoffeeScript more to compile JS to standards-compliant, consistent code. Variables are hoist
