Save yourself a click -- it's another PHP and JavaScript rant.

Compare to this: #include <stdio.h> int main() { printf("Hello world!\n"); return 0; } Woo! Your first program and I count, at most, 2 things that could be described as "magic"

Having learned C and C++ before even touching Java, "public static void main(String [] args)" arbitrarily shoved inside a class is still an aspect of the Java that absolutely annoys the crap out of me. Before you even print "

For those who aren't familiar with this saga, Richard Stallman went on to found the Free Software Foundation about 10 years later and, in my opinion, has proven to Gates that you don't need to make software proprietary in order to

Since giving up cable, twitch.tv has more or less become my HGTV -- somewhat enjoyable, minimal attention requirement; decent background noise to help keep me from going insane. I cannot for the life of me, though, understand the appeal of

Somewhat tangentially related, but it's been bugging me for a while -- is every brogrammer in America really this ridiculously attractive, or are hackers using model "stunt doubles"? One wouldn't expect GitHub to be fu

It's a bummer to think of all of the real-life dollars that have been sunk into Bzr's development, which I'm sure makes a decision like this harder. That said, isn't this what forking is for? The people who want Git supp

LightTable is truly terrible. Adobe beat that team with Brackets without even really trying, and all of the gimmicks it promised have been available in vim and subl for a while. They should do something else with their time.

I'm pretty sure Atlassian is the only major supporter of it, and even they co-host Git on BitBucket (I suspect to stay competitive with GitHub). And in my very biased opinion, Atlassian markets themselves with an aggressively old-s

Hi; I love your writing! I can't speak for the OP (though I doubt they A/B tested), but most typographic conventions come from the days of typesetting and the subsequent studies of typographers and graphic designers in the 20th ce

I agree with you. On top of that, the response wasn't even that well written, and the fact that the business owner somehow thought he was entitled to use a Starbucks trademark just because he was too small a fish to fry is rather ridic

I wouldn't be surprised if Apple develops a library to help facilitate GPU usage, similar to how they developed Grand Central Dispatch to help developers utilize multicore CPUs more effectively.

My problem is when companies think that "do everything we can for <metric> while staying just inside (and maybe a little outside) the boundaries we're given" and "do what we can for <metric> in line with our

Well IMO it's kind of silly to care about the government snooping through my data when huge corporations are the ones who actually own the fiber and can siphon all the traffic they want -- then sell it. You're basically choosing b

I was disappointed to find out it wasn't! Although I guess it doesn't really make sense as a concept; maybe just the JS parts of bootstrap.

lol I listed Sails though--my problem with sails was that their website promised tomes upon tomes of documentation; come to find out the copy on the website is all boilerplate and none of the docs have been completed yet.

Hey there! I have lot of experience programming but not a lot of CS theory and low level engineering behind it. I find things like HHVM to be really inspiring, and I'd love to one day contribute to such a project. My question is-- how

It's funny -- I love node.js for pretty much everything except for web frameworks. IMO Express, Koa, Sails, and Meteor are all lacking some kind of je ne sais quoi ... maybe I should try my hand at one as an open source project...?

I agree. Having just finished a project with Flask, I ended up using no less than 8 million dependencies that I'd never heard of. "BYO everything" frameworks would be more appropriate, but even then, Flask brings with it an e

I'm pretty sure I was talking about how much I liked TED last month on HN. Now, suddenly, I'm re-evaluating whether or not I actually enjoyed those talks or if I just thought I enjoyed them.
