I never said "it was designed to not have a standard library". Instead it was: "it was NOT designed to have a standard library", which means "standard library" was something that the creator didn't even th

If we follow your logic, assembly would the worst language of all. Like you said it was never designed to have a standard library and so forth, and therefore it sucks to use JS to do a lot of things. However I was just saying I don't t

What do you think would be the benefit?

by galistoca 10y ago
I agree with the sentiment but I think the interpretation is off. I don't think Javascript is a bad language. It does what it does and is good enough. In my opinion if you look at where Java is right now, that's where javascript i

Anyone know if there's anything like Soylent but for protein only? Sometimes I go on a no-carb diet (sometimes to lose weight and sometimes because carbs make me sleepy) and I am too lazy to buy ingredients and cook at home. I just wan

I fail to understand a reason why someone would use this... right now it seems to only work on a few LG watches, and isn't Android open source as well? Why would someone choose to implement this when they can implement Android?

+1 You should always under-promise and over-deliver. It's kind of a bummer to see a customer support app since I was expecting a groundbreaking technology that finally succeeded in implementing teleportation technology using gravity di

Your argument is no different than people from the old times saying "the earth is flat". Of course that was the reality back then, but we've found out that's not the case. When talking about these things you should keep

Downloading pirated torrent is unethical and probably illegal, but tons of people still use it. So I think "less likely" is not really the case. People will do anything as long as there's value.

This guy basically is saying "the world we live in is physical, because well.. it is physical!". How does someone like this become a professor and publish books? I have no problem someone saying "it is very likely we live in

Youtube is a monopoly in a way Google is a monopoly. Just like how there's Bing and DuckDuckGo but most people use Google, most people use Youtube although some do use sites like vimeo. If you think it's so easy to build a site th

If you're wondering about this question, then it is very likely that you shouldn't make it open source. Like I said it only makes sense when you feel the need to make it open source. Some of the reasons I could think of: 1. Your a

Parent said "most of", and I think that's pretty much correct regardless of how vibrant of a community Imgur has. Most traffic to imgur is via embeds or links from another discussion forums. The former case obviously provid

Google knew that Youtube will turn into the largest video search engine, so they bought it strategically. Otherwise someone else could have swooped in and acquired the largest video search site, which would have left Google vulnerable in ma

Is there a specific reason why you would want to open source it? Just my personal opinion: users don't care if your app is open sourced or not (Unless there's a clear reason for it to be open sourced, for example providing transpa

Assuming that the type of people who they want to block are psychos or people with bad social skills, they will find themselves in 100 times more serious situation when the other party finds out. Even as a normal guy I would feel extremely

Is it ok to go around publicly saying "we got into YC" when it's just a fellowship?

Commodity is when your product has no differentiation on the market. Imgur does not have enough differentiation on the market and that's why they're a commodity. For image centric community you can go to Reddit, Tumblr, or any kin

Because it's a monopoly. Come back when Imgur becomes the only (or one of very few) place on the web to share funny images and Gifs. Farewell.

Monopoly is not a commodity. Non-monopoly is a commodity.

by galistoca 10y ago
And why would Google purchase a forum site for sharing funny images and GIFs?

by galistoca 10y ago
Why would Google buy when they can just create one overnight if they wanted? Probably much more stable than Imgur too. Imgur is just a commodity. Youtube is not.

I was good at math growing up but not in a "#1 in the world" way. I've been to a couple of math contest national finals. So I naturally have seen many "geniuses". Some of them when they see a problem sometimes just

Ever thought about whether the assumption that having control over what your see on your Facebook feed might be incorrect? If we're talking about the ideal world that may be true, but the real world is far from perfect. If you ask 100

This is the worst advice ever, don't try to give advice on something you have no idea about. It can change people's lives for the worse. "Leaving it off the resume" means lying, and they will most likely ask what happene

The "con" part actually has nothing to do with whether you failed at a startup or not. Like you said it depends on the answer, which means you make the decision based on the personality at the end of the day, not based on the fail

As long as you have solid skills, success or failure doesn't really matter at all (although if you were successful you wouldn't be applying for a job, which leaves us with failure in this case). From my experience companies only l

Same logic goes for hiring. If you need to use this kind of gimmicky tactic--which is obviously bad for the company in the long run--to find new hires, it probably means you need to focus more on the core product to turn it into something t
