If you believe that feel free to provide an example, so we can discuss it. Your post is just FUD at the moment.

It is due to systematic rule breaking even after multiple warnings. If you break the rules of HN you get banned after a while. And if there were sub-HNs here and one would take almost all the moderation time it wouldn't exist for long.

Alyx I would agree, but for Index the reaction I usually saw was more of "yeah, okay, nice, but far too expensive. Let's wait a few years for an affordable solution" while Quest is praised all the time.

The class will have to provide you with an option to get your answer back after a computation, so that's what you test. I don't see a reason to test how a class computes a result as long as the result is correct.

The same was said about offshoring and so far it worked out.

Also, distances were vastly bigger (maybe that's included in positioning?). England had to ferry troops and material over the Atlantic at a time when a ship voyage was long and could very well end in disaster. China could move troops o

People preferred it because Google - at the time - had found a scalable solution which gave (mostly) the best results. Why should I search for hours through directories if someone give me what I want after only entering a few words? No one

That you think the team doesn't know whether the "random bug" or something else is "what needs to be done" is a big red flag.

The problem with MongoDB is not that it was shaky in its infancy. It is that the developers made it very clear from the start that they don't care. Speed is everything, everything else is secondary. This changed a bit over time, but th

Your post is the one out of touch with reality. Most developers who get a job offer from IBM also get job offers from others, so they have options. "You are jobless and only this company wants you, so you will work for them even if the

IMHO web applications took off because developers learned pretty fast how useful "I can update any time without user consent" is, especially when your software is a buggy mess (or a "MVP" if you like buzzwords) and you n

Your language of choice - Clojure according to your HN bio - works on a product where important parts (e.g. Generics and the Java collection framework) were done by academia. One of the most popular compilers (LLVM) was done in academia (an

Talks about zero-sum. Uses things based on the results of said zero-sum system. Makes you laugh and cry at the same time.

I think the jury is still out whether asking technical questions (Is that code for whiteboard interviews?) is really a good idea. Seems Samsungs interview process is just different (probably also bad. All interviewing seems to be bad).

Readability is very often nothing else but habit - code which looks like code you've seen often enough looks well. Case in point: The first example is just gibberish to me and I needed the second one to decipher it. Also, I would write

And in that case you can use the web app. The grandparent talked about a "dark pattern" and it's really hard to see one if the native client is better than the web version.
