I guess their plan is to convince third parties that this is a great idea? Lazy businesses wanting to get into Bitcoin can be immensely more profitable than Bitcoin itself.

It took me a while to realise the thing you referred to had changed, which led me to google "Crocs experts".

Looks like Amy's Baking Company has branched into coding bootcamps.

After reading your responses on this thread, I just hope your bootcamp does not teach PR disaster prevention. Or, uh, grammar.

Indeed, no one with half a clue what they're doing uses PHP.

Never heard about it before, it looks interesting. > Tarantool combines the network programming power of Node.JS with data persitence capabilities of Redis. Is that sarcasm? I can't tell.

Hmm. Point taken, but this is more of a WSDL thing than an XML thing, is it?

TOML and YAML are nice as human-readable configuration formats; Protocol Buffers/Cap'n Proto are really good if the schema of your data is strongly defined.

by slapresta 12y ago
Thankfully, no. XML, as a medium of transmission of structured data, pales when compared to basically any other commonly used alternative in 2015, in ease of use, readability and available tooling. Now, I enthusiastically agree with the und

If you interpret this to be about "avoiding criticism" instead of as a counter-reaction to meddling, clueless middle management eager to justify their job position at a cost on employee time and product quality, then you're l

Hi! We launched one of those landing-only email-catching product pitches on Product Hunt and Designer News. It went amazing. We never even topped #1, yet we got lots of useful feedback and more than five hundred emails of potential customer

Yes, there is an overarching conspiracy by the Apple cabal, led by Jobs' reanimated corpse, to bury your comments and keep The Truth away from HN. Your comment being factually incorrect does not come into this issue at all.

I'm pretty sure the algorithm for Metaphone is not theirs, just this particular implementation. Which means there's nothing they can do here.

Meh. I wouldn't try to sway them away from PHP, but I'd try to get them to try something else as soon as possible, and make the introduction to the language an overview of harmful PHP-isms (i.e. explaining the difference between a

Completely agreed. I'm very vocal about PHP's flaws, but I try to keep my hate away from beginners. When you're starting, the important part is getting shit done. The language doesn't matter. (However, as soon as the cha
