I was literally actually thinking of this just the other day. Alcohol now gives me intestinal liquidity, possibly a result of too many years of 3-4 beer a night. And I couldn't figure out how an entire populace raised on the stuff wo

The only thing on the planet Apple doesn't have enough money to buy is itself. We MAY be in a bubble, but this is in no way an indication of that.

Yea, that's about the worst advice to give a programmer/hacker. The "maybe I can try this" and "I wonder if I could do this" is the core of my world. I've been told by actual engineers that things I want

This is great, but if you use a password manager, it's very difficult to determine which, if any, of your accounts would be compromised. For myself, this would just be doing a dump and looping a few greps. But for family and friends,

Why not, I'm talking about a construct that doesn't exist. A SQL literal string can be stored and auto parameterized prior to interpolation. You see the :int isn't the name, it's the parameter/type safeyness that

I wouldn't call that better. I'd much rather have a self escaping sql literal, something like: var query = "select id, name from table where id = #{id:int}"

I don't have time to look, but when I signed up, I was given the option for a free trial and the option to spend $500+ depending on the package. I'll have to look closer, but I suspect this is xaraminesque.

That's pretty awesome, now if I can fins a decent terminal browser that supports javascript and vim keybindings and the equivalent of chromes devtools, I can spend all of my time in the terminal (save design of course, but that wouldn&

Marginalizing an entire group of people simply because it doesn't fit with your narrative isn't logical, it's ignorance.

These aren't even logical arguments. I've presented use cases where voice recognition may be the only feasible way to interact. Is a voice recognition server's security as secure as my banks? Seriously, I'm done argui

Well, I frequently see the people mentioned above, especially the elderly needing help with their phones or email or online banking, and giving their passwords to a trusted family member thinking that they are the only ones listening. So y

I'm thinking it's quite handy for a quadriplegics, those with learning disabilities, children, elderly, arthritis sufferers, parkinson's sufferers, thalidomide sufferers, disable in general, etc... Just because it's not

I would recommend against this in Canada, as it's illegal.

I'll be honest, I'd be much more receptive to you doing a show hn over pimping the framework in the comments of every js post.

It's easy enough to release some rats, throw some feces into a pot when you're the hotel owner. These guys weren't playing ethically. They need to be outed. edit: changed an autocorrected fences to feces which chrome for so

Fair enough, but it's still a valid comparison for most of us looking. Is the $600 machine 'good enough' for my usage, and it looks like it will be.

We removed the last bits 3-4 weeks ago. We started with a pre-1.0, but all the headaches with that are on me, not Ember. I will probably check it out again at a 2.0 or 3.0 release, I love the potential. But for now, it doesn't work f

Absolutely, you are 100% correct. I definitely misspoke.

by failed_ideas 12y ago
I don't think anyone is missing the point at all. I fully understand what you're attempting to do because I tried to implement an Ember project only to have so many negatives pile up that it was actively working against our goals

What is it with functional cheerleaders and their inflammatory language and cherry picked arbitrary criteria?

FBI honeypot? Why bother, just cross reference your advertising shadow profiles with a few trackers of what you're interested in. Combine that with the scrape Canada is doing with all the download services, and the pre host intercept

HN is a fickle beast, one I've quit several times for being down voted to oblivion for a humours but on topic, relevant and quite poignant comment. And the very next story on the topic had almost the exact same joke as top comment by

I still haven't gotten it working in vim consistently enough to switch to the mac for development. When it does work, the lag makes it too slow, doesn't really allow for method discovery like intellisense, Ctags and omnicomplete

I worry about that too, but that isn't the topic being discussed. Life isn't fair, but I believe we should as humans strive to make it as fair as possible.

Just to respond to all at once, I'm looking for fairness here, not to punish those that couldn't pay debts. There isn't anything 'bad' about not being able to manage debt in and of itself. However, if you took 3 j

Sure they should. I have 3 and they make pretty good coffee. I grind my own beans in a burr-mill grinder, fill a little paper filter that fits in an EZ-cup cup, and presto, a good cup of coffee that pops into the trash. It allows me to h

In part, I love this idea. However, as someone who struggles with debt, I've worked to the point of causing serious health issues just to keep my head above water, so if Canada were to do this, I'd be more than ticked. The slack

I'm immensely jealous of anyone who has that much free time. I guess as a show-hn, I'm all for this. Someone wants to do this, then it's their art or stress relief and they're doing it for fun. But as a news submissio

I'm not sure why this is on hn. The creation of a programming language using a stupid syntax has been done, and has been done better. This adds nothing to the space, and it's the useless language equivalent of hello world. Good
