I agree. It also makes a good topic of conversation with the younger generations and can be used in teaching as a starter for computer history. It's a link to the past, a symbol in the true sense that represents an entire era before computi

What do you expect? It will not stabilize any time soon but the fact that this is happening means there's a new player joining the game and one that needs to be taken pretty damn seriously.

Maybe you missed the fact that money in the bank are no longer trusted and can be confiscated for any reason by whatever government or entity?

Impressive UI and use of github api, very nice work. Maybe have the readme show first instead of the comments box. It would make a nice UI for Components[1] or even npm. 1: https://github.com/component/component/wiki/Components

Javascript targets multiple domains, unlike other languages, so I understand the issue about consumer installers that build differently. But at least let's agree on a single json and on a single registry where everyone pulls from the same f

Another registry for Javascript files and another json package description. This is getting ridiculous, you guys (npm, component, bower, volo, ender, jam and now plugins.jquery) should get together and fix this mess.

Sarcasm aside, are there any metrics whether a blocking automated popup actually increases any kind of conversion? Because from my experience it causes confusion and it hides the content you are trying to see. It's just annoying. I usually

I wasn't asking you directly, the question was kind of rhetorical. The reason is that boilerplate code like that, should be abstracted away from the actual code that we write and I was kind of hoping to see that mentioned when I saw the jQu

Exactly, the issue mentioned shouldn't be why there's a semicolon before the function wrap, but why are you wrapping your code like that in the first place.

Don't take words literally. Instant in this context means what jawngee said, that it was so responsive to the degree that people conceived it as instant. Awesome. Layers were unlimited meaning you could add as many as you want. Undo operati

Stop thinking about projects and try to remember what made you happy back when you started programming. Chances are the path the university and the job you had made you take, isn't what you really wanted, and you didn't find anything exciti

I feel like all the tools that allow you to do X or Y faster, actually make maintainability and debugging magnitudes slower. Which is why I've started avoiding anything I feel it's going to be difficult to read and maintain in the future by

Just a note here, a single font face is boring. I prefer picking a serif and a sans serif font, using one for the headings and one for content text.

The best one I've ever heard was AlgoMusic[0] on the Amiga by Thomas Schürger. I used to spend hours listening to it. And it was a pleasant surprise while searching for it now, to find out that the author has a brand new project called Soun

It should be more than adequate for strategy or turn based games. Perhaps I should have been more clear that I was talking about latency sensitive MMOs, like shooters or anything where your position and movement in time are critical to the

I have no doubts your system is a very powerful and scalable solution for pubsub, but I believe just the fact that it's not utilizing Websockets, the overhead is not acceptable for MMOs or other latency sensitive tasks. So you shouldn't adv

I don't think it's fair implying that Node.js is to blame for the scaling issues of this particular project. Dead reckoning, variable polling and other tricks could have been used with a Node.js server as well and make it look smooth and pl

+1, starred without the description is pretty much useless. All I read is "Random Person starred OtherRandom/random-repo". Need to save room? Group similars together. "X, Y, Z and 15 others starred X/Y, The coolest util in the world".

I recently realized I was using FB only for that reason, keeping in touch with people I know in real life, mainly the chat. I don't need to see any of the stories. Sure some of them are fun but they are a huge waste of time. Then I realized

It isn't a matter of how much JavaScript or how many LOC you have. It's a matter of design. If they were designing something with a focus on excellent performance (which is what they really needed) instead of feature XYZ (which they thought

Opening a native console is notably faster and lighter than booting a VM. Interacting with real system files, network ports, etc. is also much more convenient and less error prone than setting up shared folders and other trickery.

That's a fair argument. A solution would be to increase the initial weight for same link posts every time they're posted. That would decrease the time they spend in the front page exponentially. You could easily bypass this, of course, but

So it's been posted again, 186 days ago. So what? Not everyone visits HN every day, and not everyone's been here since the beginning. Reposting useful stuff for those who might have missed them is a good thing in my book.

100 / 0.004 = 25,000 So we'd need 25,000 images like that one, to fill the sky. 25,000 * 200,000 = 5,000,000,000 galaxies
