Impressive UI and use of github api, very nice work. Maybe have the readme show first instead of the comments box. It would make a nice UI for Components[1] or even npm. 1: https://github.com/compone…

Javascript targets multiple domains, unlike other languages, so I understand the issue about consumer installers that build differently. But at least let's agree on a single json and on a single regis…

Another registry for Javascript files and another json package description. This is getting ridiculous, you guys (npm, component, bower, volo, ender, jam and now plugins.jquery) should get together an…

Sarcasm aside, are there any metrics whether a blocking automated popup actually increases any kind of conversion? Because from my experience it causes confusion and it hides the content you are tryin…

> It's strange how once you get interested in a topic, you start seeing stuff about it everywhere. I've noticed this too. It's so strange and creepy at the same time. Whenever a topic interests me…

I wasn't asking you directly, the question was kind of rhetorical. The reason is that boilerplate code like that, should be abstracted away from the actual code that we write and I was kind of hoping …

Exactly, the issue mentioned shouldn't be why there's a semicolon before the function wrap, but why are you wrapping your code like that in the first place.

Don't take words literally. Instant in this context means what jawngee said, that it was so responsive to the degree that people conceived it as instant. Awesome. Layers were unlimited meaning you cou…

Stop thinking about projects and try to remember what made you happy back when you started programming. Chances are the path the university and the job you had made you take, isn't what you really wan…

I feel like all the tools that allow you to do X or Y faster, actually make maintainability and debugging magnitudes slower. Which is why I've started avoiding anything I feel it's going to be difficu…

Just a note here, a single font face is boring. I prefer picking a serif and a sans serif font, using one for the headings and one for content text.

The best one I've ever heard was AlgoMusic[0] on the Amiga by Thomas Schürger. I used to spend hours listening to it. And it was a pleasant surprise while searching for it now, to find out that the au…

This definitely needs to be your theme song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lnh3h3-lyQ

It should be more than adequate for strategy or turn based games. Perhaps I should have been more clear that I was talking about latency sensitive MMOs, like shooters or anything where your position a…

I have no doubts your system is a very powerful and scalable solution for pubsub, but I believe just the fact that it's not utilizing Websockets, the overhead is not acceptable for MMOs or other laten…

I don't think it's fair implying that Node.js is to blame for the scaling issues of this particular project. Dead reckoning, variable polling and other tricks could have been used with a Node.js serve…

+1, starred without the description is pretty much useless. All I read is "Random Person starred OtherRandom/random-repo". Need to save room? Group similars together. "X, Y, Z and 15 others starred X/…

I recently realized I was using FB only for that reason, keeping in touch with people I know in real life, mainly the chat. I don't need to see any of the stories. Sure some of them are fun but they a…

It isn't a matter of how much JavaScript or how many LOC you have. It's a matter of design. If they were designing something with a focus on excellent performance (which is what they really needed) in…

Opening a native console is notably faster and lighter than booting a VM. Interacting with real system files, network ports, etc. is also much more convenient and less error prone than setting up shar…

That's a fair argument. A solution would be to increase the initial weight for same link posts every time they're posted. That would decrease the time they spend in the front page exponentially. You c…

So it's been posted again, 186 days ago. So what? Not everyone visits HN every day, and not everyone's been here since the beginning. Reposting useful stuff for those who might have missed them is a g…

100 / 0.004 = 25,000 So we'd need 25,000 images like that one, to fill the sky. 25,000 * 200,000 = 5,000,000,000 galaxies

Thanks! I can't wait to get it to the point where you'll be able to create/edit/save modules and such. Will soon put it on github if anyone would like to help make this possible.

This is a prototype of ProTracker remake in Javascript and HTML5. Currently only playbacks modules, but tracker functionality will come soon. I just couldn't wait to show you this. Click on RANDOM to …
