Do you mind expanding on your comment? I don't see the flaw in gohrt's argument. To avoid getting into a debate about smoke detectors and fire departments, can you clarify the flaw in the actual argument he raised: > If we alre

Quick question; what's the flag link do? Because I don't have enough karma to downvote this link but I feel I need to do something to save others the time of having to read this. No disrespect to zerply. I'm sure there are ot

I really don't understand your analogy. The whole point of releasing to the few reputable parties in the current case is so that they go on to release it to everyone else including the internet. randall's comment makes more sense

Presumably you are referring to PommeDeTerre's comment as "middlebrow dismissal" and I don't believe his intent was to sidetrack the debate with semantic and pedantic details. His comment is a new branch in the comment tree. If you find thi

by xtrumanx 13y ago
I agree with you PommeDeTerre. It's hard for me to take this meme of "HN is full of negativity" seriously when I constantly see people (like thedanfilter above) complain about comments whose only faults are that they aren't full of glowing

By the way, here's a possible reason why you may have inactive accounts that you should be able to easily solve. I signed up for Twitter around January and frankly speaking, couldn't find my way around. I've heard people speak of retweets,

Do you think it would be better with commentary and unedited? For instance, imagine watching a 20 minute video of the dev trying to get the discs spinning with the textures? It'll be like the Let's Play[0] videos on YouTube of people playin

Unfortunately, the Play framework plugin is only for the Ultimate edition (last time I checked). I'm currently working my way through the Functional Programming in Scala course on Coursera using Eclipse. I'm not sure if I would make use of

Is there a point in buying WebStorm if I purchase IDEA? I've been using WebStorm lately and have been considering purchasing it but I'm also learning Scala on the side and would also benefit from IDEA. If IDEA can handle NodeJS and TypeScri

by xtrumanx 14y ago
I disagree. I don't know Wildbit or who their competitors are. All it took for me to figure out the "shitstorm" that was referenced was to hover over the link. The same message could have been made with no reference to SendGrid but they cho

Actually I started out with Ruby then Rails in 2009 and moved then moved onto .Net. Ruby and Rails will always have a special place in my heart as that's where I first truly learned how to program after being beaten into submission by Java

I've been trying for so long now to do something different. The largest obstacle I've faced is letting go of expectations. Having worked with Asp.Net MVC for years now, I've found how Express on NodeJS handles form validation to feel very c

If you think that's bad, try removing the www in the address. It just hits a GoDaddy parked page. Also, take a look at this site: http://hadhwanaag.com . It's the most popular news website in Somaliland. I'm pretty sure someone can make a

Once again, I haven't used SQLite in a very long time nor do I know anything about what your code looks like but there's a possibility that if you remove your calls to SQLite from your unit tests and use a mock repository, you could reduce

May I ask how welcoming Malaysian companies are to the idea of hiring foreigners? I currently don't live in Malaysia but spent many years there in university and I do think about going back once in a while but I'm not so sure if it would be
