I especially liked how she characterized the experience of the Sight system crashing while she was running with the assistance of a running/exercise application: 'Sight crashed, I didn't see anything. I couldn't find my way home. I didn't s

"We’ll be supporting this program for the next month (now through the end of August), and we’ll be donating 100% of all proceeds raised." I'm confused, do the proceeds go to the charities or to pay the temps? If the former, are the temps j

"Developer profiles"? What does that mean? It will install node && jshint && vim for me or what? What I want out of a linux ready laptop from Dell (or anyone): 1. Make the hardware and OS play nice. 2. Nothing I can do the r

"It was Mocha with CoffeeScript, not Ruby." But the point is that this wasn't clear. I thought it was neat to watch (I watched a few minutes, skipped thru) but I've used node before and write a lot of JS; if I were new to this (or if you h

Have you proof or are you just tossing another unfounded accusation on the pile?

They had a contest, you didn't win, he-said she-said and you post it to HN. I'm sorry you didn't win but I don't really see what the point of this post is- shaming this company for... what? Giving away a camera? Without more solid proof

@qiqing: Are you willing to tell us a bit about the screening process? I'm curious about what worked, what didn't, what traits you learned to avoid etc..

The Lithium folks (nate & gwoo in particular) split off from the Cake core team. There was some contention but generally speaking I think everyone is still friends. As for lithium being the successor to cake 1.3... well certainly nate

I really liked this stuff. I am commenting just to mention that my "free association" response to the two slashes together was "[nazi] SS." I think it looks nice but that just popped into my head. Kudos on the awesome rebranding proposal

Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong. I can see you posted this without doing so much as a single google search pointing your browser to "cakephp.org". I am interested in hearing skrebbel's response to this question however (what makes cake so ho

"can we stop judging the quality of their algorithms (which they're probably not interested in) and instead critique the artistic value of emulating human online behavior?" I actually addressed this first, before the software output. They

Everything about this seems stupid. In the video bazzargh posted these guys come off as absolute pricks, oozing with smugness and condescension and completely devoid of empathy. They use (steal) someone's identity (name + pic), the person

Just to play devil's advocate for a moment... The first app created a layer between twitter and its users which meant that stripping ads would be trivial & likely universal (they don't put ads in 3rd party app streams yet but should t

Yawn . Can someone explain to me why this sort of post keeps getting written? It seems like it's just snooty hipsterism. "I want to make sure people know that PHP is bad!" Please, point out to me the developer who has not heard this a m

Just try stuff out on a personal toy project. Think of some little thing you might wanna do and do it (no job too small) and just try out the tool in a low-risk environment. I am giving jamjs (& require.js) a whirl in a little side pr

I think this piece is important commentary (satire) as brown9-2 wrote, because it's an emperor's-new-clothes reality check on the startup ego/culture. It's meant to say "do you know how you sound? you sound like this." Yes it can be hard

Hey now Accusey Adam (or is it Conjecturey Constance?), put down the pitchfork. There's no need to accuse people of sockpuppeting/gaming just because you don't like their project. It's hurtful to hear people call you a cheater when you ju

I went to greplin.com and was redirected to a cue splash page with no indication that greplin still existed (a link has since been added). Between this redirect away from of greplin.com and the link title "greplin becomes cue," it seemed

Seems like "Greplin team scraps Greplin, launches new calendar app" would be a more meaningful title. As a side note, did they automatically unregister their application from my facebook, gmail, twitter, whatever, or do I have to do that m

The goal is not just to create web pages but to teach people about the technologies that drives the web (the tool many nonprogrammers use day in and day out). A straight wysiwyg wouldn't achieve that end.

To developers complaining that this is not an IDE they'd actually use: where did you get the idea that this tool is meant to be an IDE for professionals? This is clearly an educational tool, and I think it looks pretty good for that. 0. pi

I never understand how sites like this get votes on HN. We have: a splash page, no code, no product, no service, and an apparently nonworking form. That leaves us with: A splash page. Why even bother announcing a product/service when it's

"Your display is broken? Oh, you installed cygwin? Sorry, you're on your own: we don't support cygwin" Mostly joking but how far fetched is it to speculate such a thing, given that they are denying display service due to OS install? bitt
