Yeah, I hear that argument a lot from people who don't understand how the service container works. Laravel is really quite easy to understand if you have a decent knowledge of PHP. You can replace entire chunks of the framework for bas

For most of them, you just have to google the article's title and click the link from there.

This is one of those moments where good programming architecture and integration testing becomes obviously useful. We have a payment gateway interface and the transition to Stripe will be relatively painless after accounting for some accoun

For the same reason most companies don't share trade secrets. - Stripe and Balanced ARE direct competitors, much more so than say Stripe and Braintree or Balanced and PayPal. Balanced handles the money in a bit of a different way, but

In what way is Balanced only for "a niche type of business"?

If I may reduce this to absurdity, I'd prefer to live in a mansion on Mars, so every conceivable income level is too low.

I accidentally downvoted you, but this is very clever.

Membership in a group doesn't preclude discrimination against that group. Total count: - 9 white males - 2 black males - 4 females - 1 unknown What strikes me as odd is that at a ratio of 9:6 (or 10:6/9:7), they have completely ex

The simple answer would be that a greater supply of homes means more people can afford homes in the long run (assuming relatively low population growth). But that is hugely dependent on which states/cities/neighborhoods you'r

Not sure what you were expecting. AngularJS apps aren't usually built with a noJS fallback in mind.

The first part of that statement is: "We assess that Miranda is knowingly carrying material the release of which would endanger people's lives." Most lobbyists and activists aren't carrying around NSA documents.

In practice, compartmentalizing sections of a page into declarative chunks of JS and HTML actually helps keep things really organized. When each link in a nested directive chain is completely independent of one another, it makes refactoring

It surprises me that anybody uses Amazon or PayPal when Stripe and Balanced exist.

Laravel has built-in auth support and a bunch of good Composer packages that can add more features. It's also got RESTful and resourceful controllers built in and a very awesome routing system. You can use any admin/cms package, b

And there's also Laravel, which is partially built on Symfony and generally maps a little closer to what is possible in Rails.

He's trying to say that Google paid something tangible for something intangible. It's difficult to estimate the present value of a patent portfolio, ergo it's "intangible".

I think the point the OP is making is that if it were someone like Mark Zuckerberg, the protest wouldn't be futile. It would likely trigger a nationwide debate about the constitutionality of the program and it would possibly be overtur

I agree with you in principle about the necessity of needing something to do in the meantime, but a huge number of gas stations already have convenience stores attached to them. Perhaps not in bigger cities, but pretty much anywhere where s

I'm not sure Tesla's first-mover advantage here is really going to last. Ultimately, I think it's likely that existing gas stations will slowly start converting to electric charging stations. If they can match Tesla's charging tech, it will

I don't even need to star anything. If I type an address into maps.google.com on my PC, as long as I'm signed into Google it will be in my Maps app search history.

I was initially thinking about responding to antidaily (huh...didn't realize how relevant that username was until just now) in the same way, but I couldn't decide whether he was against lifting on successive days or against lifting 7-a-week

Thanks for that. You are right, of course.

Sure thing. I don't mean to imply that you are intentionally misguiding. Your general advice (i.e. sleep enough and do it consistently) is good and the post was fairly well-written. Cheers, good sir.

This post seems like one big, long unsubstantiated bunch of app spam for "zeo". I don't think scientists understand the "fact retention" mechanism as well as OP claims, for instance. It's fairly clear that sleep is important, but there's a

I've spent many years studying economics, but I'm also a programmer. One thing that annoys me about the discussion that tends to crop up on Hacker News is that you have too many of the latter issuing too many uninformed opinions on the form
