This is the "show" post to HN: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2442498 I dug this up as im curious to know: What it was costing to use the site before? What the plan is to support the site, now that it is free (the experiment)? From t

This is a must read! Every company I have worked at with legacy sites to port/maintain have yet to allocate any resources to this problem. No matter how often I suggest it. Now we have a great reference for our bosses and selling to clients

Ad for their service or not, the title is misleading. There "machine learning" = "how we use google translate". It was well written, but the content let it down.

I agree with your point, yet as the parent points out. The uptake will be less, it has to be. Websites and people learning languages are vastly different size wise. I also think the numbers he quoted about buying learning material are a lit

Interesting to read and to ponder. Personally (myself included) more php developers need to make a little effort to give back to the core, it doesnt need to be in bug fixes or new features. The excellent documentation is downloadable, from

If I could I would down vote this. There is no meat to this article and the actual "product" described by them is another Q&A type site. I reached the bottom of it and felt cheated of my time.

I was looking at the facebook github page for hiphop php and I only just made the connection that the compiled php projects could potentially be ran via "nativeclient". Equally, its interesting to read that you can register a nativeclient a

As a user of the "prototype.js" library this is a little similar to the default template syntax, yet with one extra character. Thomas Fuchs has a very similar version: http://mir.aculo.us/2011/03/09/little-helpers-a-tweet-sized-... And fi
