So now game devs are forced to use JavaScript if they want to make games in the browser? That sucks.

My website runs on a vps with NodeJS as the backend. I could easily self sign a certificate but chrome displays a huge warning to users. How about signing certificates for free google. Https is easy to implement but the fact that it costs is bs.

Re:Python moves to GitHub on Saturday January 02, 2016 @03:03AM (#10825493)
So is github the Google of code?
I disagree and here's why. The web platforms he mentions are for following the lives of people you like. Links get in the way on these specific apps. Especially on mobile where clicking links by accident is a dread. If you want to share your web links then post it on your blog. Make a link from Twitter to your blog. But DONT expect apps to allow you to spam your garbage links to others. That's what Reddit is for.

If you can't build a site without bootstrap, jquery, 500 png's/jpegs.. please stop coding.

It looks nice and easier to read, but I signed up to this site a few days ago because of the bad/lack of css. I don't mind having to zoom in manually as I do on reddit too.

Has anyone heard of the ransomware that encrypts your whole hard drive and makes you pay to unencrypt it? LOL.

Re:Node.js 5.0 Released on Friday October 30, 2015 @05:45PM (#10480722)
My current node version is 4.1.0 and npm is 2.14.3. I don't see any reason to upgrade. Node PLEASE implement HTTP 2.0
I run uBlock Origin and I block third party cookies. Because screw trackers and spammy ads.
Re:Atom 1.1 is out on Thursday October 29, 2015 @07:20PM (#10475152)
I have Atom and Brackets installed but see no reason to use them over Sublime Text.. My preferred text editor would be vim simply because I can code while ssh'd.

Ask HN: With the following experience what could I be making?

I started off teaching my self html, php, JavaScript. Then got into game programming and learned Java. Have tried Python to make a simple Reddit bot. Don't like c or c++ because I learned Java first and they seem strange. I've tried raw WebGL (no framework) and with framework (three.js). Have used MySQL but hate that it's so insecure and I'm forced to use mysqli. Currently interesting in making...

Richard Stallman is a legend. While most of us blindly agree to terms and conditions for crap proprietary software, he doesn't even need a GUI. He's one of my top inspirations.
