:) Who needs all those silly things, who can even keep track of them all? npm scripts + browserify does the trick nicely.

Ah, that is nice. .NET seems to have a wonderful property where even if they start out with something dumb, they eventually come to their senses and do the right thing. Sure can take a while to get there, though.

Shit, I would probably build out an entirely separate build system and then just call it with MSBuild if I had to.

Eh, I write JavaScript now.

I really hated the language you use to describe build tasks. It is a very frustrating mix of declarative and imperative syntax. And of course, who wouldn't want to write code in XML?! (XML, the markup language, the one we use for mar

Hoo boy, MSBuild was always by far my least-favorite part of being a .NET developer. I would like to flippantly say they should just throw it away and replace it, but probably much too late for that.

No, no.

If ease of setup and attractiveness of the device are the issues, Apple has been making AirPorts a long time (at a similar price point, I'll add).

Not giving equity strikes me as a tactical error, because the hurt feelings seem to be worth a lot more to him than the money he now has and apparently isn't interested in. I understand the justification for not doing it, but it seems

Right, and so what you get is people saying something is "simple" when what they really mean is that they like it. Which is of course not Hickey's fault, it just irks me for some reason.

I love Rich Hickey and I will watch any talk he ever gives. I believe I have seen them all at current. Here's what drives me nuts about this one, though - it gets passed around a lot where I work, and people say how strongly they agree

Do you guys think this is just somehow not possible, or something? It's Facebook.

I don't know but I'm not really inclined to be skeptical of this.

Work reasonable hours, get paid what you're worth, and damn the rest.

Repeating my call for each HN post to have a new, separate comments section specifically for shitty comments about the page itself as opposed to the ideas contained therein

Interesting. Curious about the reaction to Google Play not allowing such an app. (I'm guessing restrictions on app stores are ok when Google does them)

I would prefer for people to mind their own business. I don't think that is so "amorphous", do you?

by serve_yay 11y ago
I hadn't considered that, but it's an interesting point. That said, all the standard moralizing accompanying this is so gross.

The only lesson Apple seems to have learned is that the App Store is great, and everything they're doing is working gangbusters.

So is it just socialist publications, then? No publications of other ideological bents deserving of similar scrutiny? Fantastic.

An expectation of instantaneous response, combined with the pathetic verbal throughput of typing text on a glass screen. So many things that would be easy to say out loud are not worth typing on a phone screen. I didn't like talking on

Wow, I could not agree any less in terms of appeal.

Postmates seems to feature bicycles in a weirdly prominent way, as if that is the best way to deliver a meal. But then they offer delivery from places that are so far away that cycling would be impractical from a delivery standpoint. Anyway

Capitalism involves a struggle between labor and capital. Or perhaps another way to say it would be that if capital could do what it wanted without labor, it would. And capital is winning in that struggle, for most jobs there are more quali
