I'm seeing a trend for site designs to have this look of a multipage brochure stacked into one web page. The problem I have with this design -- and the problem I just now had with this site -- is…

I wanted to know more about the practical applications of the syperhydrophilic metals (the counter-technology of the one discussed here), and found this video [1] with Chunlei informative. [1] https:…

I certainly agree that whether it meets the requirements is important (debatable whether it's more important than design/quality). I'm just saying it's not the concern of a code re…

The first one doesn't belong on this list: > Does the code work? Does it perform its intended function, the logic is correct etc. I believe this concern lies with testing (automated or manua…

At some point, I hope to see the lines between RAM and SSDs dissolve, such that the OS can just use a portion of the SSD for RAM.

Nice primer, but it omits a crucial part of "taming a testless code beast": Making it testable. Before you even get to step 1, chances are that if you already have a "testless beast&quo…

Does HN really drive enough traffic to a (relatively recently submitted) site to bring it down? Or is this a sign of poor scaling?

I think it's worth saying that I appreciate when you give the community greater insight into the decisions you guys make. I know sometimes it's a hard judgement call, due to the risk of fuel…

> They should have a working demo after 2 months. While I agree with your sentiment, this sentence sounds like an overgeneralization. I can't imagine it would be that easy to put together a …

Effective debugging often depends on us being able to see the app as others see our app.

I've thought about this before, and I'm assuming this is because clickable links in a post would allow people to submit articles pre-attached with comments, and HN wants users to submit link…

I'm confused then. Why would one wear this and a watch?

I thought most people wear their watch on the opposite wrist?

Good point, but in some cases, function comes at the cost of style, and vice versa. For example, the larger screen, the more functional it is, but the more hideous it is too (as a watch). The MS Band&…

I belong to a certain group of people that I'm guessing many smartwatch makers are targeting. That is, I've not worn a watch for years, mostly because a) I've never needed time to be an…

Just some honest feedback regarding pricing. I think this looks really cool, and may give it a spin. However, not sure I can justify the charge for my team. I currently pay $25 for a Bronze GitHub Org…

> It's interesting that others in the thread have implied that I'm not spending enough time on my startup and will be out-hustled. I think this is kind of the point though. It seems tha…

Wow, how old are you? Like 8 million years?

... until you start trying to make your app testable. (I say this as a developer of primarily statically typed languages.)

> A more real world case is that hospitals are starting to create out patient monitoring apps. Whenever a patient uses their blood pressure monitor, the hospital app gets notified of the new readi…

> To me, what's really most important? > Working on something important enough. Getting stuff done. Having fun. If I have these, not much else really matters. If I don't, I move on.…

An old site (2009), but I posted it because I just found it, and think that it's awesome that: - You can move the pin around and see the sun's angle and path change in real-time - You can sl…
