Re:Slack Is Going Public at a $16B Valuation on Thursday June 20, 2019 @11:26AM (#20233853)
yep, if you owe someone a little money they have control. If you owe someone a lot of money, you have control. The whales use SaaS companies to develop things they dont want in house and demand features because they know they're one of the biggest customers.
Re:Demand for Ruby on Rails is Still Huge on Wednesday June 20, 2018 @01:52PM (#17357796)
yeah this is some nonsense. I'm at a highly successful startup serving 40,000 requests per minute on a rails app. We're starting to split out into services but that's purely from an organizational standpoint as it's becoming unwieldy for 60 developers to all work in the same code base.
Re:The Repeal of Net Neutrality Is Official on Monday June 11, 2018 @10:43AM (#17284618)
That's exactly what the ISPs want though. If we try to tackle all of these loopholes then they get to draw this out in a thousand different court cases which they can easily afford.

OR how about we attack them directly because it's obvious that they have malicious intentions.

Re:Microsoft acquires Github on Monday June 04, 2018 @11:00AM (#17228347)
Microsoft makes all of it's money from PC sales and software licensing.

Meanwhile, they basically invented the "buy your competitor and tank their business" strategy. That's probably what this person is referring to.

care to explain this a little further? Genuinely curious what these deficiencies are and who they benefit.
are we getting russian trolls in HN as well? I thought we were here to have intelligent discussions. Not political nonsense about "mainstream media"
Hydrazine
And yet folks will keep falling for the CGI trailers and marketing hype EA churns out for every game. The only solution is to wholesale stop supporting ANY game EA produces.
Re:Hyperloop One Becomes ‘Virgin Hyperloop One’ on Thursday October 12, 2017 @12:25PM (#15459093)
Interesting idea. In Denver, they're partnering with our regional transportation district to evaluate a hyperloop system here. Unfortunately RTD has been completely incompetent with existing rail programs to date so there isn't much confidence in their ability to pull this off. Could potentially be designed to fail.
Re:Sorting 2 Tons of Lego, Many Questions, Results on Wednesday June 28, 2017 @12:50PM (#14655762)
what about a screw feed?
The article isn't talking about human habitation. It says that we collected evidence that may suggest that there are hydrothermal vents below the surface which may be able to support microbial life like Earth's hydrothermal vents.
Slightly different but yeah. The falcon has a single pre-orbit stage. The heavy has two pre-orbit stages. So it'll end up being three falcon engines stitched together with decouplers. Part of the way to orbit, the outside two decouple and return the to launch pad. Some time after that, the center engine decouples and lands on a barge. None of those will be going at orbit velocity though.
META: This blog post is super low effort. Basically just reiterating some really basic UI principles and complaining. I think we can do better on HN
Re:A textbook case in workplace discrimination on Friday February 24, 2017 @01:44PM (#13726378)
this isn't equivalent. In your scenario the single employee is choosing to take advantage of the company's hospitality and I think their manager would be right to either deny that or speak to them afterwards.
Re:SpaceX receives FAA approval for return to flight [pdf] on Friday January 06, 2017 @12:54PM (#13338433)
Great news! Anyone know when we can expect the next launch? I heard they're going to test the falcon heavy this year.

2.3 million downloads in the last month and 4883 dependencies... what do you think?

Re:Ask HN: Is jQuery still a thing? on Wednesday November 16, 2016 @02:35PM (#12970616)
yes, Angular requires jquery for selectors. React I'm pretty sure doesn't.
The rovers we sent cost us about $400 million each. And one failed.

Re:Paper Planes on Monday October 03, 2016 @05:15PM (#12631391)
it's not that silly. We're mostly all developers so its easy to forget but most people dont have desktop computers nowadays. Mobile is the primary experience for many people.

Re:How Nextdoor reduced racist posts on Friday August 26, 2016 @01:46PM (#12367929)
OMG Arvada is pretty bad too. We had some hispanic kids causing trouble in the park and people were trying to organize on NextDoor to go confront them with baseball bats. We're talking about 13 year olds here... It's definitely been used as a safehaven for paranoid old white people.
I imagine the explosive material complicates things immensely. I'm not an expert on strip mines but it seems like they just dig up and grind everything indiscriminately and process it later. This would obviously be a bad strategy when explosives are involved.
Re:Philae Lander: “It’s time for me to say goodbye” on Wednesday July 27, 2016 @04:52PM (#12176436)
They definitely got it back online. It ended up getting enough sun to heat back up and get it's batteries juiced.
The atmosphere also contains high levels of sulfuric acid which would be a bit of a concern. It's definitely a route worth exploring. It just comes with it's own set of crazy concerns.
Stop ruining our fun! Seriously though, there seems to be some portion of the programming community that like to shit on people for enjoying exercise and caring about how they look. Doesn't bother me a whole lot. I know I'll always get opportunities to beat those people in an interview if I am just better dressed and more sociable.
Yes, it's very difficult to move electricity far distances. I believe it has to do with the natural resistance of copper. While its quite low, it's not zero and it adds up over hundreds of miles of copper. IANAE so anyone feel free to correct me on that

Do you have reasoning behind that or do you just enjoy grandstanding with pedantic statements?

Always good to see my Alma Mater on here. Cool project!
