You guys are slowly walking away from the main stream concept of programming. Not that you're not right, but what's the point of the article then? So, using boolean syntax on google, is that programming too? I wouldn't say it isn't, but if

I for one, agree with arctangent. Unfortunately it seems to be a common trend here at hacker news, assuming that everybody could take a theoretical physics PhD while washing clothes by hand on some swamp in africa or india. I don't know why

Just out of curiosity, how does one returns nothing in coffeescript?

I always had that opinion about that feature too. It's present in quite a few languages. I think people like to point out that they can do things that you can't in other languages and end up going ridiculous paths. As if the real power of a

Interesting, I've been using deluge for many years, had no idea they had a build that runs on windows. Deluge has all the features I want on a torrent client, I will replace my uTorrent installations on windows by deluge.

Since everybody seems so enthusiastic about it, I thought I would also leave my not so enthusiastic opinion for the sake of broad feedback. If i should be honest I didn't like it so much. It felt too cluttered, the interface has way too man

Yesterday I pushed a tiny javascript algebra on github. I'll just leave the link here: https://github.com/plainas/ualgebra.js It might be useful for you guys to check solutions and such.

While i find this discussion interesting to some extent, I find it odd that no one mention that the native and web applications use cases do not overlap completely. We have text editors IDEs, command line utilities, etc. not every applicati

My point is rather simple: Everybody is jumping in the git/github bandwagen but the huge majority doesn't appear to be able to state practical advantage of git besides github popularity. That is my point. Not saying that there are no advant

bazaar and mercurial are decentralized too, so that would only rule out SVN.

I'm signed up recently though I«ve been reading HN for quite a while. I can't tell how the community was before, but this is a fact: When i signed up a few days ago, there was some "read this first" pages presented to me outlining the prope

>I love how easy it is to commit to projects on github It's as simple to commit projects to github as it is to sf, bitbucket, google code, etc. Wait... you need to set up ssh credentials on github... sorry, it's more difficult to commit

I still don't get your point. It's the most visited source hosting site, no doubt about that, so...? On the subject of the topic, I'm getting tired of this git euforia. The linked message says zero about the reason beyond a simple direct vo

I fail to understand how this gets to be on the first page of HN, sided by links to the usual great stuff. My opinion worths for what it worth, but I would say this is a rather bad article and show some poor programming examples. As many po

Probably that string was used as a dork together with some more text to find vulnerabilities on web applications or so. So it was reported as a honey This does look like a string that could very much be generated by some poorly coded webbap

+1 (no pun intended) those services clearly have a large overlap. And there's also google pages. On a related note, wordpress.com/.org, thumblr did manage to held quite firmly. This also sounds like, not letting blogger degrade into an obso

1) Why does everybody makes the assumption that people only want to download the song that is playing on the radio all the time? That is a huge misconception with no basis. In fact, those who download music [to use your example] from so cal

Microsoft UIs current state is, in general, cluttered and broken. I agree with this blogger, and my reaction was similar when I red the original post on msdn. Having been absent from microsoft office (or any office like application for that

I've been reading hacker news for maybe two years (not much I know) without registering. It is noticeable that hacker news is becomming more of a so-called social marketing tool and less of a news source. This is not a blindly negative cri
