Re:Twitter Names Jack Dorsey Chief Executive on Monday October 05, 2015 @08:51AM (#10331445)
Chris Sacca would sleep very soundly tonight.

Jokes aside, I think Jack is the man for the job. He has proven capable in square. I hope he does the same with Twitter. The company needs to take advantages of the huge market share it has.

I'm still not sold on the idea of using Dropbox and Git on the same folder. Would anyone mind explaining the benefits of having such setup?

Anyone sending to localhost (the IP of the machine running this) would have access to said command line, and can do as they please.
Could someone shine some light on why the U.S. is not following such rule? I can't see that many downsides to it, IMHO.
It seems like Microsoft is still staying quiet about this. They need to start declaring were they are going with all those privacy-related concerns.
Re:Jeff Bezos Responds to the Amazon NYT Article on Monday August 17, 2015 @03:23AM (#10071686)
Sure, it might be the case that some employees are having the time of their life and enjoying their jobs. However, all that talk about the sweatshop work conditions of Amazon employees can't be all hearsay. To the very least, Jeff should act and investigate the issue instead of completely refuting it.

IMO, investigating the issue and acting upon it is a better move for Amazon's employees and PR.

Re:Ask HN: What are your mostly frueqented sites? on Sunday August 09, 2015 @05:44AM (#10029968)
I'm asking because I wanted to expand the sites that I visit daily. More specifically, I want more sites that have good articles about software dev/current tech.

I found it hilarious that they didn't even bother writing a description for Healthcare.gov.
I love the idea. I see it become a huge success in highly populated cities (e.g. New York).
I'd have much preferred an honest and evidence-driven response instead of a sarcastic one. This kind of attitude won't help your cause, nor your startups, get the good kind of traction at all. Some food for thought.

Good luck!

Dang, this was next on my side projects ideas. Looks good though.

You looking for contributes?

Here comes the USB-C port hype train, choochoo!
Thank you both for your inputs.

Isn't this why they are a top-tier company? I mean, their selectivity is what makes their company great as a whole.
So, if I'm understanding this correctly, they are to re-write the Go compiler in Go, and compile it using the currently published compiler (i.e. 1.4)?

Could someone, kindly, explain how future versions would be built? Thanks!

That's quite a Turn in ones career.
I'm currently in the process of designing my website using Flexbox. I love it, but ran into the problem of min-height. This should come in for sure. Thanks!

What's the benefit of using this vs. WMs like SizeUp?

I'm asking this question because I'm quite comfortable with SizeUp and don't understand if learning how to use a WM is worth it.

So much negativity in these comments. Instead of saying "why?" or "MD is for mobile screens," present your opinions in a factual matter to support your arguments.

I personally don't prefer the MD/Metro look design philosophy. This stems from the fact that I believe in designs that help accomplish a task, not prettify it for the sole of prettifying it.

Wow! First impression: this is stupid. Played for two minutes, couldn't stop for a 15 minutes. Congrats on creating a truly fun game from a simple idea.

I still cannot fathom how they are able to store huge amounts of data and not run out of space. Care anyone to explain?
Re:Computer Science from the Bottom Up on Friday April 18, 2014 @11:21PM (#7612466)
I like the introduction with a "new" approach, even though I do not necessarily agree with it. Speaking in 0's and 1's is extremely daunting for someone who wants to learn about CS, IMHO.
The comments in here are snarky hilarious. Love HN!
There is so much interesting information in the article that people really forget what they came for, the answer to the proposed title question.

Personally, I wasn't upset at all. I really liked the article although it had a deceiving title.

What do you mean by "[Apple] don't cut corners"? Serious question.

I have a questions that is irrelevant to the article per se, but rather the design of the web page. Is blog organized by a CMS or the design is entirely of Dustin's creation (I'm pretty sure I've seen it before?) I'm specially interested in the blog design, I like it.

Curious, why would you think so?
