I'd love to talk to you more about this if you have the time. You can connect to me on twitter https://twitter.com/patrickjbradley I have a website for finding tutorials about the Swift language. I've been conside

By no means am I an architecture expert but I've wondered if these statistics would look much different if stackoverflow had more images and video?

Currently, all our javascript apps use Backbone and a few use Marionette. I'm a fan of Marionette but certainly no evangelist for it. For me, it really soothes the main pain points I had with Backbone. All that being said, we are abou

Whoever down-voted your comment should have that privilege revoked. trose's comment was completely on topic and well thought out. Down-voting is not to be used when you simply disagree.

You sound like a really angry person. What do you do on your breaks? And you really think checking emails is useless? Honestly, if the OP is checking his emails on his breaks, he actually sounds like he's being productive. OP also clea

I always cringe when I see a talk or a blog post in tech talking about "fixing" something that is "broken", especially something as complex as the internet. It's just sensationalism. The state of "brokeness&quo

Kudos to a lot of people in this discussion who have noted that they do not have any real numbers to back up their opinions. It is funny, because the CEO of Snapchat had no numbers but didn't let that stop him! I like that their is a h

Not to mention Instagram and WhatsApp. Not the same kind of hardware tech, but certainly diversifying. Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp are 3 of maybe the top 5 or so apps out there right now.

Someday Facebook will lose it's position at the top, maybe sooner than later. Nobody knows that answer, not even the Snapchat CEO. While Snapchat is an insanely popular app, it isn't profitable. This is a gigantic, difficult step

You are repeating what OP said. He's asking about now, not then.

Elephant #1 is that google.com is clearly #1 and facebook.com is #2. No way yahoo.com is above them in 2013.

This is supposed to be a list of the top "websites". A visit to tumblr.com or to flickr.com should not be counted for yahoo.com. I think the title of the article is probably not accurate.

That is a very naive point of view. Governments don't work like Yelp or Hacker News or something. There are people that represent or have the support of powerful lobbies which make things change. In this case, the taxi union. The artic

This really confused me as the article ended with " On its French driver recruiting website, it assures applicants that they do not need any insurance beyond what is standard for their vehicles. All UberPop trips are covered by commerc

Philadelphia has VERY little 24 hour service. Last I checked two bus routes operate along the same path as the 'orange' and 'blue' subway lines and nothing else. The regional rail service shuts down by midnight.

So in the US Uber is what UberX is in France and UberX in the US is what UberPop is in France? Really weird, wonder why they would do that?

I guess you have to start somewhere? But you are correct, this is the reason I will not use this in my projects. I try to bookmark these projects and look back on their progress but I still just use fontawesome.

And I obviously understood that. The point is, the commenter has no clue which judge will preside over this case and furthermore cannot possibly know the level of technical knowledge the judge will possess. I didn't realize that pointi

I seriously doubt that all judges in Sweden do not know the difference between Excel and Word. I know you are trying to make a point but you are doing it poorly.

It's definitely a cool article, I don't mind seeing it twice. I love the idea of having these tools with postgres and not having to use thinking sphinx or solr right as quickly.

I don't know when it was posted, but it definitely was less than one year ago. My main data point is that it still is living in an open tab in Chrome. I have a couple of sites which allow submitting links. I know people can get around

You just posted this today? This isn't the first time your article has been on the front page of HN. I actually still have your article "saved" in a tab in chrome from the last time it was on HN. It made quite an impression o

For myself, the desire to change jobs comes from the observation that the companies trying to poach me away are offering more money than my current salary even considering the foreseeable future of raises. I happen to like the people I&#x27

First, I think this whole article was filled with useless advice. The only useful thing would be to talk about giving people better compensation. Maybe it wasn't obvious that I was thinking about equity+salary when I said "money&q
