I know that Lisp is very popular here on HN (Paul Graham!), but my gut feeling tells me that many Lisp related posts with hardly any upvotes / comments get pushed to the front page of HN. I wish there was a HN filter to hide certain ke

Finally! It took four years to admit there is something wrong. And one more year to change upcoming laptops. - It‘s unbelievable how this crap could be released. Coming from a ThinkPad to a MBP in 2015 I was even disappointed by the keyboar

Whenever I review legacy (PHP) code from say 2010/2011 with lots of jQuery, I realize what a relief it is to use frontend frameworks / libraries. There was a reason why those frameworks were developed. And that does not go away ju
