I think this is fantastic, but I couldn't find API docs / tutorial anywhere on your site. Demonstrating use cases is important, but I don't think it's enough to get developers to d…

Design could use some more work, but I like the idea. Consider using social plugins for users. Also I love how you chose to show it off with YC's lecture. I guess you had to wait a…

I always think it's admirable when a CEO offers his help in forums.

I tested it for a tiny project and was very surprised. It's very easy to use, though I wouldn't use it in production because of the price / lack of customizability.

If you accidentally forget to use 'new' when you're supposed to, the "constructor" method will change the global object instead of a new object, it can cause strange behavior that …

Ah that's fantastic, i've been using them for a while and never noticed.

Douglas Crockford, is that you? Oh the lengths people will go to avoid using 'new'... I wonder if any linters out there warn when they see something like: something = SomeCapitaliz…

That's a cool trick, though 'instanceof' won't work in this case.

Looks great. Does the name come from Hebrew? It means small coins, like pennies.

This made me wonder if it's possible to automatically reverse engineer a small binary file into human readable (and understandable) source code. Assuming you know the language and …

Not really the same, but Passport offers easy account authentication.

This is hilarious and spot on. Still love HN though.

GEB is an amazing book, recommended to anyone into CS and logic.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see the problem. If your users submit their proofs one line at a time, then validating each line is O(1) if they give you the assumptions t…

GitHub for mathematicians. For every theory, define its axioms and valid logical steps. Let anyone build theorems based on these (validate them automatically), and allow people to …

I don't understand how they can make something as simple as Twitter so cluttered. Though this is an improvement.

Great reply, thank you for clarifying! I sometimes like to think about the ethical consequences of having that type of data and computation power. For example it's very likely for …

Believe it or not they still teach MIPS architecture and assembly in some universities (Technion, Israel for example).

It would be much more exciting if they could get a SINGLE cell (of whichever organism) simulated with virtual subatomic particles. Has anything like that been attempted? Do we even…

Man, this is really weird. Just a few hours ago I came up with what I think is an awesome for a tax-related service. I was reading HN, as I do daily, before I decided to start Goog…

For someone who is just finishing CS this is great for recap. I printed the pdf and will go over everything I've learned in the past years. Would've been nice if there was some "Th…

Their front page looks nice, but the dashboard and everything else looks the same.

So which registrar does HN recommend? I've used Namecheap before and they were decent, though the dashboard looks like it was built in the 90's. I checked out Hover but they seem t…

This is very relevant to something I'm trying to build right now, thank you for sharing!
