Re:Modern JavaScript for Ancient Web Developers on Thursday March 23, 2017 @12:56PM (#13941575)
I was very frustrated when I tried to move to gulp+sass+babel+uglifier tool chain, It took me an afternoon to set everything up before I can write any actual code.

The whole thing looks like to be designed toward make big and long-term maintained website, not toward helping you to hack up throw away site quickly.

Stuff like gulp, after I installed it globally, I still have to install it per project, which makes little sense to me.

It used to be just "compass init; compass watch", and start write stuff, uglify JS before deploy, then done.

I still hates JS, I don't get why a language once hated by everyone, now is sexy again. PHP in contrast, have improved a lot since 5.3, and it actually quite fun to write these days.

You will back transferred to U.S. anyway, many countries has extradition agreement with the states.
This makes me think of sidewiki. Will many people really go find rebuttals and contribute back to the original page? It seems a little bit too much of work.

Matz: That's rails, ruby's official site is uglier than python's.

Re:Who owns your files on Google Drive? on Wednesday April 25, 2012 @01:34AM (#3887864)
When you upload a file, you just licensed Google to go whatever they want that they think is going to promote or improve their service for unlimited time.

IMO, the first sentence "You retain ownership" actually means nothing to them.

I'm confused, if "knowledge of infringing material and do nothing about it" cause you have no safe harbor. Any big content site like YouTube must know some of it's users are abusing the service, but they're more likely to handle it after there's complain. Or how can you tell whether a file is copyright infringement or not? censoring all uploads, non sense.

I'm still using HTC Magic to test my android projects, which is really great to find bottlenecks.
Re:Coordino - Crappy StackExchange clone (is this legal?) on Monday January 02, 2012 @01:16AM (#3415001)
Why it's crappy? Why you doubt it's legel? If you doubt so than maybe hacker news is also illegal because it looks like a raddit clone. (of course not)

I'm wondering why all the credits goes to iPhone/Android rather than Windows Mobile(Pocket PC) which is a great mobile os in it's time.

Thanks for using cc-by-nc.
App stores can always refuse to sells apps to those abused the refund policy, so I don't think it will destroy publishers.

Although frankly speaking, 7 days is too long for apps, the law is originally made to restrict post sells and other physicals goods sales that buyer have no idea the quality is before they receive the goods, I think its quite reasonable.
