It serves as evidence that he is an uneducated idiot who lacks common sense.

I agree. It helps to have something tangible and to refactor later. I think the main issue that some people (myself included of course) have with that is refactoring too late. You never want to build something big on top of sketchy code.

I've found that taking a considerable amount of time (days even) to determine the very best solution to a problem always results in less effort and less time spent coding overall. It's also no coincidence that the code becomes

This is pretty cool. Although, I'm having trouble clicking on the bonuses and don't see my score. I must be overlooking something and cba to decipher how this works at this hour. Edit: Managed to make it the whole way through by

This might be one of the best articles I've read on HN in a long time. One point that really hit home with me is that we need to innovate innovation. I'm willing to bet that a huge part of our stagnation is a result of our creati

So how does generating a graph actually solve the problem in the real world? Or am I misunderstanding what the problem is? I was assuming the problem was with some real world application, most likely regarding the implementation of some c

In a single line I can get solutions to complex problems that would take days in Ruby, Lisp or Haskell. It is the same distance again as Lisp is from C. In fact, many of the failures you see write-ups on HN I've been able to model a

I've considered doing exactly this (using Node.js) based on the same paradigm as the Unreal Engine. Epic devised a very effective way to code for both a client and server at once within the same class(es), where server->client, cli

That's always an interesting effect, really annoying too if you're on the receiving end of the complaints. People tend to only speak up when they don't like something, so many times the amount of negative feedback overwhelms

Thanks! 8) By "outdated", I was referring to the product description(s). Nice idea for the Google Calendar! Is that a fairly common thing? I can't recall seeing it anywhere else, but it could just be the bubble I'm in.

I've been working on http://loggur.com for a (very) long time now to address exactly what the author describes. (Note: The home page is very outdated and vague; I'm planning on redoing it upon release; see my other co

Yeah man! Sign up for our tournaments and leagues! It's still going strong and actually seems to be growing since the advent of newnet, a modern netcode that smooths out gameplay a ton and lets people from all over the world play tog

Holy crap! The author and I are on the exact same page. I reached crazy levels of burnout over a year ago, and I found out that the only thing that could take my mind off of my work was fast paced shooters, namely UT99. Little did I know

Regardless, it's a pretty sleazy way to do business. And I say we let these types of businesses die if given the chance. Practices like these divert resources (capital, time, manpower, etc.) which only serves to hinder both economic

Yeah it isn't fun at all, especially when you seem to have more bad memories than good. It can become a bit of a hindrance; but with a strong will, it can be turned around into something good. My first few memories are of the fight my

WOW! How have I never seen this before? 1968??? That is amazing. I'll have to come back and watch the entire video later this evening when I have the time. I will say though that taking a look at it for just a few minutes is incred

I honestly don't know where I'd be without my dog. They really are amazing animals. It's been a rough few years and just knowing that every time I get up from the computer that he's ready to make me smile and go wherev

Ah LRU and virtual memory are the keywords I was looking for. I couldn't remember! Thanks!

I'm not entirely sure what I'd search for so I figure I might as well ask here. When a key won't fit in redis, does redis remove the least active key(s) to make room? And is there a way to persist the removed keys to disk t

Yeah it's just me for now. There would be too much overhead involved in getting anyone else up to speed on it and getting them on the same wavelength. I have a fair amount of documentation, so when I everything is finished that I personal

Pardon my shameless plug, but I've been working on something for a looong time that combines all of the above into one massive time-saving system. The hardest part is definitely making it fast and efficient while also being user friendly.

I love that you still have such a close relationship with the code behind HN despite probably being incredibly busy with other things. If my business ever takes off and I happen to remain in an executive position, I hope to be able to set

Growing up, I didn’t really know much about entrepreneurship and business, but as I began working in companies around the age of 16 and 17, and started my company, iContact, at 18, I discovered that there’s an entirely different world out

This ran surprisingly well on my 3+ year old Asus laptop with integrated graphics. By surprisingly well, I mean I doubt I ever got over 30 fps (probably 15 fps on average) but there were little to no hitches when loading new areas. I would

Agreed 100%. I hope this whole super-bug thing has a silver lining, in that it results in better treatment for animals bred for slaughter.

It really is like that though. Most people genuinely do have quite different brains from each other, regardless of whether or not they fall within the autistic spectrum; but that's not reason enough to label them based on some common gro
