Apart from making it seem like a game, is there any reason why the user has to click the squares? Is there a way for the browser to report back which elements are currently red?

I've used Laravel a lot and my very biased personal opinion is that it's hard to beat. Have you tried it?

Dayum, that's one of the best articles I've read in a really long time. I think we are still decades away from really understanding experimenter effect, and till then, I take all medical studies with a fucten of salt. Example: I u

Very moving article. Makes me appreciate my own, living, mother quite a lot more. I have a friend who lost her mother a few years ago. It's changed her in quite a few ways. I'm not sure if I should sned her this article. She belie

This is a rather gross oversimplification. What you state is true, and is in fact the essence of the first 2 noble truths, but that's hardly the meat of "the logic of buddhism". The hardest attachment is that to the self, and

From a Buddhist perspective: In what country do you not have death of loved ones, old age, sickness? In what country do you not have attachments, fear or sadness? Technology can make us more comfortable, but not "solve" life for u

I use Clojure for almost everything now, but I must say Haskell looks interesting. My issue is that Clojure is thriving right now, and Haskell has been around longer than I've been and the world sees it as some arcane science. Is it

>A beautiful thing about Evolution by Natural Selection is that the principle itself is metaphysical, not physical. It exists in the same realm as math or logic. Evidence of this is genetic algorithms. They would work even if darwin was

For me Dan Grossman's course on Programming Languages takes the cake. Best course I've ever done. Taught SML, Racket and Ruby enough to touch on so many concepts (FP, recursion, algebraic datatypes, polymorphism,... the list goes

Jesus Christ, man. On the one hand, thousands of people lost their status in society and their dignity due in part to Eich misusing his wealth. OTOH, this guy loses one job. Who's the real bully here?

He paid his money to take away some rights from some people. He wanted a certain group of people to not have the same status in society he himself enjoys. That goes beyond expression. That's using your money, effectively your power in

Paying money to influence policy that oppresses a group of people isn't your "personal" fucking life. It's personal only if it doesn't affect other people. I really really respect this dude, he's straight up le

So anyone ever defending any company ever is an irrational apologist? He at least gave some points. You just sounded like an angry teenager. And I'm not even a Facebook user, let alone fan.

I'll be honest, this just makes me feel terrible. I like to think of HN as the one online community where the comments are usually on point and there's no "power user" bullshit going on. Slashdot devolved into irrelevant

Could you give me a range of how much a dev can expect to earn at bloomberg? I'm curious because currently I'm a client (front office finance) but by next year I hope to get a tech degree and job. I'm just bracing myself for
