You really hit the nail on the head here and said exactly what I (and probably others here) have been thinking. As much as it's a very humanly thing to do, I think it's ridiculous to try to lump people into categories, especially when the d

Ha! It's Aco. Small world! I actually wasn't around UT99 back when you were, but things are chugging along better now than they have in a looong time since I made newnet. If I recall, you were actually the guy who told everyone newnet w

Nice!! I've been planning on implementing the UT99 equivalent of QuakeLive at http://www.globalunreal.com for quite some time now. I've already made a new ping compensation mod, so all that's left is automating pretty much everything via

Ah, man. I've been planning on doing the same thing as these guys for years, but I haven't yet had the time or the financial freedom (still relatively young) or the luck of environment. But this is just plain awesome to see someone way ah

I see no reason clean up and stocking (for the most part) couldn't be automated as well!

I noticed that too. That seemed to be a recurring concept in Aaron's work. It must have been weighing heavily on his mind for a long time. Rest in peace, brother. Your efforts will not have been in vain.

While the login form might be pretty, I'm a bit turned off of "dzyngiri" by the lack of indentation in their code. And it might be helpful to have the demo/download buttons immediately visible rather than having to click the tiny X in the

Yeah I just saw that too. How lame! I expected something much more... I don't know... professional I guess. Or at least interesting. I suppose it's possible the site was hacked. Let's hope that's the case and that we all haven't been in

I'm failing to see what all the fuss is about regarding the UI on this site. It's relatively minimalistic, easy to navigate, and the header condensing to a smaller version was slightly unexpected but I wouldn't call it "jarring" or a deal-

I should have been a little more clear as what I was getting at. I wrote it pretty hastily. See my edit on the original post.

Thanks. Although I was hoping to get some real, personal examples of what folks here consider to be important problems.

Why would you post this on HN? Flagged. And for those of you who don't know, it's extremely NSFW.

What I'm actually starting to love (or already do?) is that nerdiness is slowly but surely becoming the norm. Soon, there will be little to no distinction, or at least it won't be at all like it was when I was a kid. I'm sure kids will st

I found that explaining concepts that I think I understand well to other people in a way that is easy for them to understand makes me either realize I don't understand it as well as I thought I did or I figure out something new in the proce

The key is that I'm not actually polluting the global namespace. I also feel like using the globals object + require() would still be ugly/messy.

Just today I devised a pretty solid method to build a fairly complex node.js app while keeping it simple, maintainable and scalable. I like the way node kind of enforces modularity, but for something as complex as the backend (super-flexibl

I've actually been working on exactly this (but considerably more powerful and in-depth than Pipes/IFTTT) for quite some time now (almost 2 years, on and off). It was originally designed to appeal to non-programmers; and I would have relea

You're right. That's what I ended up focusing on after a few listens and chose the correct answer, which could probably be attributed to being an ex pro drummer. Most people were probably focusing on the vocals, not at all attuned to what

Man I think I might be kind of a slow typer. I was only getting like 45 wpm in the javascript test. I think it's because of all the abnormal characters, although I do code in js daily. -_- But keeping my fingers on the home keys to type

I really hope it becomes standard for websites like this one to no longer require a full signup to use it. Maybe use a combination of sessions, IP addresses, browser fingerprints, etc. to differentiate anonymous users. I understand that t

As a hacker, I've never taken a marketing class (or even a business class) and this all just seems like common sense to me. Pardon my arrogance, but it does seem to me like we hackers/coders are inherently better equipped for branching out

I'm really not a fan of BMI being the determining factor in obesity. At 27 BMI, I'm apparently 3 BMI away from being considered obese. As a naturally large, fairly muscular 24 year old german/irish man, I'm 6 foot 1 and weigh 205 lbs, but

Sadly, that flowchart has some truth to it. I asked this in another (semi-dead) thread and it didn't get a response, so I'll ask again as I couldn't find any information on it. Was any legal action taken against facebook in the recent e-ma

Interesting. I wonder why no legal action has been taken against Facebook for this recent fiasco... or has there?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you can revert to Windows 7 style for normal desktop use, as Windows 8 is designed for touch screens. Although I heard you can't make the reversion permanent; you have to manually revert after each bo
