I just finished The Phoenix Project recently, and I thought it was great. It is effectively a novel about a large software project which is being mismanaged and on the brink of failure, and the steps that the team (and related teams) took

Nearly every submission you've ever made to reddit is either directly to your book, or to a post on your blog, most of which include a massive ad at the bottom for your book. That's spam. Even if there was no ad on your blog and

You used to (still do?) spam this heavily on the programming subreddit. It annoys me to see that it's selling rather well, yet you apparently can't be bothered to buy an ad. Please see: https://www.reddit.com/wiki

That defeats half the purpose though, because if the string is null, you won't be able to call the method without throwing an exception. Or is that not the case for extension methods?

You may want to leave it in. As another user mentioned, the official stable release is still 1.9. It does warn you that the default will change in 2.0, and prompts you to decide whether or not you want to keep "matching" as the

Ah yeah, my phrasing was poor on that. 2.0 has yet to see a stable release, but they started warning about the default setting changing a while back.

Not to mention HDCP. The first time I tried out Prime streaming, I turned off my second monitor after starting up the video, and Amazon took that to mean that I was a criminal, and that my video should be stopped. I groaned and fired up Ne

Just to clarify, what you're saying is that Nathan Myhrvold is a complete piece of shit ? EDIT: Oh wait I forgot, HN isn't crawled.

That was the FIRST commit to that repo. Not that it's great reasoning, but really how much info does 'Initial commit.' convey as opposed to 'asdf'?

HN really loathes humour, doesn't it?

by eogas 13y ago
This seems like a rather hostile change to an already hostile community. HN has never felt like a welcoming place to me, and I don't think this will help. Maybe PG prefers the community to be small, so he's trying to trim it dow

How is it pronounced? Is it Zah-pee-err, as in, more zappy? Or is it Zah-pee-eh, like it's a fancy french service? Or is it Zah-peer, like a fancy Frenchman pronouncing "the peer"?

This is pretty damn cool, but I can't help but notice that the UI seems to be severely limited by Sublime's API.

WPF is definitely the way to go. I started a modest sized project a few years ago at an internship, and this past summer I was allowed the task to move it from Forms to WPF. Let me tell you, working with WPF is so much better. Especially

This hasn't solved the problem though, it's just passing the buck. If the app facilitates what people perceive as spamming, shouldn't that be something you want to look into? If you can improve the experience for the recipients of these e

You can also search and do multiple selection with a regular expression, which is awesome. I've used this heavily in the past few weeks. The only problem I've had is that all searches appear to run on the main thread, so when working on a

I know that most, if not all of the earlier admins are on HN. Reddit was originally funded by ycombinator. It wouldn't be too much of a stretch to think that the new guys do as well. As far as self promotion, there isn't a whole lot of co

I believe that all the spam prevention measures are done on a per-subreddit basis, meaning that if you only submit to other subreddits, you will look like a new user to the proggit spam filter once you start submitting. A couple users have
