The Half-life 2 Combine Solider armor. It almost looks silly like they're wearing a pillow, but it lets you tack on a ton of protection for your center mass without affecting mobility as much.

This anecdote and using the word "deadbeat" is oft repeated but doesn't really have much basis in reality (even the article you linked doesn't cite any sources for the term). Credit card transaction fees generate revenue

I had interpreted the parent comment to be about gameplay, but those are all fantastic points about matchmaking and the related QoL improvements. It absolutely is taken for granted because I forgot Halo 2 was the first to do _all_ of that w

> Snide remarks about astroturfing are also off topic here. How is that off topic when there are literally people in this thread from Canva arguing the framing and not the main point he made? Everything you disagree with isn't off t

Yeah I think it's one of those features that people generally steer away from. Ironically, if you stick to the "Rails way" of doing things I don't think you would ever encounter it.

I'm kind of shocked by how poorly understood basic HTTP stuff like this is for HN audience based on the comments and article itself. My filter bubble must be tuned to "web."

The national guard does not work like that. Also, no the military cannot just shoot people on the spot for being in the area of looting, it is not a "statement of fact." You just made this up and pulled it out of thin air so don&#

I liked this piece, but came out of it more on the side of frameworks, oddly, than libraries. I went into it with a bias ostensibly shared by the author based on the title but here we are. Probably different priorities or values in terms of

This seems so backwards to me. Why not do it as part of your CI process where you're not foisting unnecessary tooling on your developers local machines? The lag involved in spinning up and running the commit hooks is noticeable and dis

I don't understand the conflation of Rest/JSON with NoSQL. The most popular frameworks for the dynamic languages you cite all use SQL with strong schemas out of the box. Come to think of it I'm not sure why we're even as

I really wish there was a fourth option: "Squash and Create a Merge Commit." It's nice to have a single commit per feature, but also see when it was merged into master and by who.

It's not about getting a pat on the back, that kind of praise is meaningless and awkward. What is good to hear is that you're still providing value to the company and that what you're working on aligns with their goals. Knowi

The slowest part of most tests suites are the integration and acceptance tests. Regardless of how decoupled my actual domain logic is, these will usually be the bottleneck, so I can't really agree with slow tests always being a symptom
