As far as "revolutions" go, I'd call tossing a few eggs and yogurt and maybe burning a tree or two rather peaceful. There was one night where everything went crazy (when we burned down the Norwegian Christmas tree... sorry about that, Norwa

Being able to answer these questions has very little to do with being a good javascript developer, because a good javascript developer knows he should never, ever write code like that. Javascript has flaws and pitfalls, to be a good Javascr

"aaron knew what he was getting into when he broke the law. in the end suicide is the easy way out" Wow, that just a horrible thing to say. Really, screw you. I'm deeply disappointed reading the replies in this thread. Jeff Atwood's article

.NET may not be popular on HackerNews, or for building your startup, but step into any bank or big-business company and you'll see nothing but .NET (it has slowly been taking over the area that used to belong to Java 5-10 years ago). It's a

Am I the only one who's slightly offended by being portrayed like a rogue tribe of bushmen that researchers "go and live with" to study? Hackers, aka. software developers, are just people with a specific job.

"I think all of them should be using open source software, for both budget reasons and in principle." For the budget, you're not calculating the entire equation, mate. You're forgetting how much the time of an employee costs. Let's assume a

Honestly, the community around Ruby (Rails, actually) is one of the main reasons why I haven't given Ruby more of a chance. It seems like everywhere I look, people act like they're too good for me, and I'm probably too stupid to ever be a g

Ruby used by 14% of all developers. Yeah right. I'm guessing this is highly oriented towards web developers. Not all developers make iPhone apps and web sites. Your demography (what kind of developers are included in this survey) is not c

For me, procrastination is a normal part of my routine. I've tried forcing myself not to do it, but you know what happens? Instead of reading hacker news, I just stare out the window for ten minutes, or think about what exercises I'm going

The true title of this article: "Why every kid should buy an iPhone and iMac, because that's the only way you can develop iPhone games" No thank you, Apple.

Yeah, that's MY CODE , mate. Maybe give some credit, eh? Edit: Looks like OP just borrowed my note array.. which I in turn borrowed from Aphex twin, so no harm done... :) Also, it isn't working 100% in Chrome, the sampling rate is probab

Js is clearly doing A job at client side programming, because there is nothing else available. I would so, so happily drop Javascript for just about ANYTHING else that works on IE+Chrome+Firefox+Safari. IMO, Javascript is just awful, and

It matters to me, but then again, I'm one of those very rare "enlightened consumers" who actually gives a crap where my money is going. For every one of me there's probably a thousand Apple fanboys who wouldn't mind Apple building land mine
