Now I understood none of that, but it sounds like a hack to work around something they tried to fix, or is an ugly way of gluing "old" libraries into "new" libraries which should be handled by the compiler. This is just

This was a good article about the stresses of entering a programming career. The strained sexism tie-ins were unnecessary because most of the challenges she faced are universal, I remember hearing the same gloating conversations and feeling

It's a crazy world we live in where someone would post such a candid article about their own under-performance. This article is embarrassing to the individual, and more importantly, to the company that fired him. I think people need to

Is it possible to create and verify a PayPal account against one of these cards? This would allow users to have pseudonymous PayPal accounts. It always bothers me when I go to make a donation that I have to give my real name.

Before deleting your account you should edit out and overwrite as much information as possible. Things like your name, e-mail, and any other fields should be falsified before deleting. You have no way of knowing if their "delete"

I was banging my head against this earlier last week. It was such a jarring change to visit GitHub and not be able to navigate. It gives me pause to see how suddenly an easily-navigable site can become almost impenetrable with the removal o

How are people able to develop on chromebook-like devices with 2GB RAM? I'm seeing a lot of such devices in this thread and don't understand it. Once I spin up a couple of database servers, a few Visual Studio solutions for the va

I disagree with the title - I don't think this is a sad state at all. This looks very healthy to me. Backbone clearly had a purpose some years ago and it is unequivocally deprecated now. To me, this is a javascript library aging gracef

Why filter your cousin's world view when you could show him all available options and let him make an informed decision himself? Microsoft isn't so "bad" any more with their shift towards open source.

When you say firewall, do you mean a firewall on the edge of a home LAN? Because I still see a firewall on each individual networked machine as being extremely important.

> We fucked up the front door, but we totally won't fuck up the back door. This is the most apt summary of this whole situation. I expect to see a family-friendly version of this phrase in the media over the coming days.

I dread helping anyone with iTunes related issues. The syncing process is dangerous, it's far too easy to wipe someone's collection of music / family photos / pictures. I'm not sure if this is an isolated issue but

Wasn't there a similar issue in another browser here on HN recently? How does this actually happen - two different security companies both push out "secure" browsers that are fundamentally insecure. I'm not even in the s

I sympathize with you that the UEFI implementations are bad, but I don't agree that it's an excuse for everything on top of UEFI to be bad. I think the two competing ideas are: Either you make libraries that strictly conform to th

I think, and hope, that the "modularity" of the Javascript ecosystem will lead to extreme decision fatigue, followed by a doubling-down on the best individual modules, aggregation into larger, monolithic frameworks that work well,

I'm not sure that we should be doing this. Yes, it stands to reason that if you take framework X, cut out a lot of functionality, remove some of the "ugly" code that addresses edge cases, then you end up with a similar, reduc
