This article speaks at the heart of online bullying and how mediums such as HN promote it even without being aware of it it seems. I am quite saddened that persons such as jacquesm[1] who are otherwise respectful individuals want to shove a

Is there any guide about what it takes for Stripe to launch in a country? From this article it seems that it was entirely Stripe's choice to launch in Japan (rising culture of startups apparently) so why not entering the Eastern Europe

AMD's issues have mostly boiled down to single thread performance as well as power consumption. I am not sure how exactly simultaneous multithreading will help in single thread scenarios. As for the 40% performance improvement, I don&#

Indeed, (and I am only mentioning this because Plantronics is also on the chart) I bought a pair of Plantronics GameCom 367 and they were absolutely abysmal. They were hooked to a Yamaha RX-V373 audio receiver which in turn was optically co

Youtube has a new 'Add Music' button to the player (left to the 'Watch Later' button) which spices the experience I suppose! :) Oh and it's action based of course, some kind of a storm inducing experience.

I have no idea what are you talking about regarding OOP issues. From the Lamson project you can see he is using OOP. Also, how and when is he arrogant? When he is being called names over and over? And just now you've insulted him sayin

Wow, how come Zed Shaw manages to attract so much hate? I have found his series to be absolutely delightful. Anytime something about him appears on HN I can be sure there will be users with ad hominem attacks like this: "> is this a

It is blazing fast for me. I see from another response that this is a Node.js app but perhaps caching might also explain how fast this is. Also, today I have learned that jazz also means "have sexual intercourse with".

How do you feel about the saying that code itself should be as good as documentation? I personally prefer to read the documentation while skimming the code as well but sometimes, when I am under the pressure of having to deliver something,

Well, truth be told Drupal is 13 years old and WordPress 11 years old. I am sure that they both had a lot of time to add tons of features so I am thinking that the gap between them is more in theory, judging by their roots, and less in prac
