There is no need for ad hominem.

So what? Since when thinking, that Kotaku and Polygon are harmful to gaming, has become a bad thing?

And how does that impact the QUALITY of his/her code?

What you are doing there, dear Randi, is by definition "harassment".

It doesn't. Because it looks like HEXO's drone in the videos is a fake =]

Basically, they have a mockup and a campaign which started few hours before Airdog's.

What a nice call for mediocrity.

How about instead of "your code sucks, but you shouldn't care", you had used "your code sucks, improve it a bit and commit in a better one".

Also, writing readable and understandable code is not a premature optimization.Quite the opposite. What you are "selling" is to write quite and dirty site and then just patch them up. It is a road to unmanaged and intentional technical debt.

It would be interesting to see the result of experiment where one electron in entangled pair collides with a positron.

I suspect that this might give some interesting results.

Well .. if you are looking for high quality code, anywhere related to CakePHP is the wrong place.

That's not a PHP problem. It's a PEBKAC bug.

Why exactly "bad tutorials" always be the problem ? And how is it related to lowest entry barrier ?

Did you read the article ?

People see to be confusing "favorite language" with "language i use".
Re:Ask HN: What is the best debian like linux distro? on Monday December 26, 2011 @03:16AM (#3392515)
Ease of use does not come from a distro. It comes from how good you are at setting up desktop environment.

As for developers paradise, i honestly doubt that debian-like system would be what you need. If you are serious about writing code, then you most likely will require custom compilations of programs. And ability to recompile them with same setting, when new version comes out (and as soon as possible).

Additionally, most of the "user friendly" debians have this notion of automatic updates. I honestly hope that you can see what harm can come from this.

I would recommend for you to check some other distros and not to limit yourself to debians.

P.S. if something is "hard" to install or maintain, it only means that you have decided not to send time on understanding how it works.

Someone in CBS News site's comments pointed out an interesting thing: there were already two bill like that.

"Communications Decency Act" and "Child Online Protection Act", which both were tossed out by Supreme Court.
