The article's claim that AI is responsible for a shrinking job market is tenuous at best. Economic factors are much more relevant. Rising interest rates make tech companies less attractive to investors, and this filters through compan

I disagree greatly. I've used Angular in a team project that spanned several months and went into production at a startup. After reading this article, I realize how much of my experience is reflected in it. I personally experienced eac

This is really great, but I would appreciate some tests or description or your testing procedure. Does this project pass the NodeJS test suite?

100% agreed. I am amazed that this article would appear on the front page of HN.

I'm really excited about this kind of service. People have been moving increasingly online in everything they do, and music is no exception. I believe that in the future the vast majority of media consumption will use streaming. (As if

This issue reflects the challenge of trying to sell music to people who can pirate the stuff. When the alternative to your product is free and close enough to substitute, the paid product needs to provide enough value to convince the market

Why? Sometimes functionality has to be exposed, even when a company would prefer an alternative. Microsoft has named functions similarly on occasion [1]. [1] http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2003&#x

It's worse than that. There are three public universities which receive funding: ASU, University of Arizona, and Northern Arizona University. So it's not just one school. And Arizona schools may not be front page news, but these a

I agree with the other posters, that this quiz tests edge cases more than anything. That said, I think it is pretty rude to tell me after showing my score that the quiz would, and I quote, "not buy [me] on DVD."

I can understand that, but in a web app like yours which is meant to be very responsive, I think you would be better served by handling misses rather than letting errors throw away the stack (so to speak) every time a miss happens.

It seems to be buggy? There were 9 JavaScript errors in the process of typing, "How do I compare thee to a summer's day?" (I know that's not the original text of the sonnet.)

First of all, thank you for taking the time to read over my code. I don't get enough of this. You're right that 28 lines is pretty ridiculous, but it's because I never abstracted out that code. The playlist code is some of the ugliest in th

I'm not arguing with that. I wholly agree with you that a client should not be able to upload 4 GB for the password field. I think I misread your first point as if it dealt with server-side storage.
23.
by fruchtose 13y ago
While this is true, hashes use a set number of characters. For example, SHA-256 hashes can be stored in 32-character hex strings. In that sense, there's no point in allowing for a variable length field for password hashes.

I can speak your comment, since my side project is a Node.js server that talks to several APIs, a database, and N web clients. Like you, I've worked more than a year on it, but I had a positive experience with Q [1] and jQuery promises. P

There's one reason I haven't seen mentioned yet: Because the developer is storing passwords in plaintext, and he wants to save database space. Now, this is not a good reason, but it is a reason nevertheless. Please note that you should ne

Hey HN! I've been working on Muxamp for over a year now, and I decided that there's no point in keeping the source closed. (I never planned on making money from it.) I've learned a lot since I started, and I hope others can benefit from its

Great project! I would, however, recommend an API with more namespaces. Functions like Address.ukCounty don't sit well with me; such an API would be a mess if you added support for countries other than the US and the UK. You could (and prob

Is this site supposed to be for B2B or general purpose? I'm a bit confused since the article doesn't specifically mention this as such, but the homepage invites me to enter my work email.
