Thanks I am aware of those. These guidelines are rarely followed anymore. I've been seeing/feeling negativity over here for a long enough time now. Don't know when, but I'll surely quit HN soon. It's like a habit th

I have this weird feeling that there has been some bad force working up against Firefox ever since they declared their all out war against user tracking (was anti ad-bearers). I could be wrong but there are signs and absurd behavior like um

Agree! Like they say: You're probably going to be the only one bleeding on the bleeding edge. Choose whatever takes you to MVP the quickest. Avoid the #beliebers in the echochamber[like this one!]. Choose something that you're fam

I just feel helpless about this country. I go to these shopping malls and night clubs and see droves of people unconcerned or even aware about the apathy that this country has been fostering. We're no longer a role model of a democracy

Seconded! In fact among the various options available for an off-planet settlement, I find an enclosed pressurized habitat on the Moon the most plausible one. At least our orbit around the Sun doesn't change when it comes to our Moon.

Have you also tested it inside of an iframe? As far as I know support on Safari wasn't quite there yet. Last when I checked, and that was almost two months ago, Flex broke down pretty badly on iOS Safari, both on iPad and iPhone. Guess

Great question! And then why can't this model of board (of Directors) be reconsidered and perhaps reinvented? What makes for the need to have a board and what other alternatives to a board does an entity have? I'm sure someone her

It's far more ridiculous to threaten and abuse our abject criminal system to reign in (that is if we assume the theft and not OSS happened) a talented employee who decided to jump the boat and join competition. Make no mistake, the p

Wow! I remember going through this ordeal (of taking a decision) a couple of weeks back with Collision Conference. They'd shortlisted us for the conference at Las Vegas and wanted us to pay a sum to attend it. Here's what I'd

I guess it will be damn interesting to see how this pans out for Flipkart. FWIS, Flipkart is very unhappy that it wasn't allowed to control (yes control!) the market over web with its Airtel Zero plans. Read more about Net Neutrality [

So far from what I've seen is that most frontend frameworks go inside one of the directories inside rails. Nice, clean and tight integration. :)
