They did exist, they just weren't very popular.

I remember back in January, there was this video [1] that kept showing in everybody's recommended videos, similar to the "1000 DEGREE EXPERIMENTAL KNIVES" video from MrGear [2]. It became popular very quickly and so the trend started.

Yeah, that's what I thought too.
Re:InfluxDB vs. Cassandra for timeseries data on Thursday September 08, 2016 @08:20AM (#12452279)
How much memory are we talking about? How often did you execute queries on the data?

I'm asking because my first impression of Influxdb involved lots of memory gobbling.

Re:GitHub Code Search – Programmers' Goldmine on Sunday August 28, 2016 @11:04AM (#12376782)
There's also the limitation that some characters [1] are ignored, which makes it improbable you'll find what you're looking for.

Apparently this is related to how the search index works, but cumbersome nevertheless.

Do you mind sharing the resources you've read about security vulnerabilities?
Re:Show HN: Shape-powered movie search on Tuesday August 11, 2015 @10:54AM (#10041486)
I've found a movie that caught my attention, but I couldn't find any link to the imdb page - I wanted to read more about it, so I decided to select the title c/p and Google it - but what do you know, you can't select text.

Please fix this.

Uhm, it looks dangerously similar to this one...

Re:Show HN: Paid, an API for invoicing on Wednesday March 11, 2015 @11:55PM (#9189133)
I'm curious, on the technical side, what stack/technologies have you used? Also, did you scaffold the typical crud endpoints or manually wrote them, for each resource?

I'm trying to gain experience in building APIs and yours seems like a good model for doing so :)

That's one of the frameworks I haven't tried yet. Will try it, thx.

Ask HN: What framework/libs are you using for building RESTish APIs in Node.js?

Hello HN,I'm looking for a suitable framework for building medium-sized* Node.js APIs and I want to know what you are using or would recommend.Ideally, it should:* automatically build RESTful routes based on models (incl. relations), if not, make it easy for the developer to implement that* use MVC concepts like controllers, filters and such* support simple authorization/authentication (i.e....

I don't understand why people that say it's not useful or not interesting get downvoted, but the ones that say the opposite, don't. What's the logic in this?

As a non-native English speaker, it feels weird seeing phrases like this. In my opinion, a more appropriate word would be 'elegant'.

Holy cow! I'm taking a guess; is it some sort of aggregator website?

Nice business there! I'm curious, if I may ask, where do you get most of your traffic from?

Yes, exactly! I am tired with these clickbait titles on HN. Come up a better title, damn it, this isn't DailyMail.
Re:Building 2048 in AngularJS on Tuesday April 08, 2014 @12:58PM (#7554610)
Yeah, that's exactly what I thought at first, too. But I guess it's just an example on a simple game to show how you'd do more complex applications with Angular.
Re:Game Programming Patterns – Bytecode on Tuesday March 25, 2014 @03:16PM (#7468208)
Can confirm. This is by far the most ideal option available.
I'm not buying these tests, either. Since when are scripting languages faster at string manipulation (and generally) than compiled languages?

Will somebody explain to me what's going on? Maybe I'm missing something.

Re:Discovering Two Screens Aren’t Better Than One on Thursday March 20, 2014 @01:03AM (#7433997)
What a crap article. Just because this guy can't focus on his work, doesn't mean multiple monitors are bad.

When I work, I don't like getting distracted. And I certainly don't fill my other screens with Twitter and whatever the author is implying, unless it's work related. End of discussion.

Re:Down go all the major browsers at Pwn2Own on Sunday March 16, 2014 @05:21PM (#7411351)
Mind if I ask, what's up with these languages, showing up everywhere on (Rust/Go)? Are they that useful? Can you summarize for me what are they good at?
Re:Down go all the major browsers at Pwn2Own on Sunday March 16, 2014 @05:16PM (#7411324)
Can you explain why that's not a good idea? I have no clue, really, but I'm guessing something about libraries.
Can't blame them. I'd hack a toaster, too.

Right, as if I'm going to pay $49 just to use your fancy icons which I can substitute with something similar for FREE, like fontawesome.

Seriously, who thought this crap out?

Re:Flappy Bird had zero Facebook features on Sunday February 16, 2014 @11:09AM (#7247999)
It did however have a share button after you've died, did it not? Never pressed it, but I'm curious if that helped.
I don't see any proof whatsoever in that discussion that the data is being sent back to their servers. Sure, it uses the entries somehow, but it's not known. Looks like typical redditorian pitchfork witchhunt to me.

There even was a guy in there saying you can avoid this by stopping your dnscache service. Good luck with that.

Re:Anybody else hating web fonts lately? on Saturday February 15, 2014 @01:17PM (#7244665)

Yes, annoying, can confirm. So I load the page, and all I see are text decorations like underlines, but no text. I have to wait like 1.5-3 seconds, depending on the connection. I mean, seriously, come on!
