While I like the idea of services (webbased or not) that are about quality and not speed, I don't think this service qualifies for "quality". The world needs more great content, wh…

Can't speak for GitHub, but the criticism of its 404 is wrong. When a repo moves, there is nothing currently in place there to indicate that it has moved from the user standpoint, …

Possibly thanks to YC, the term "Hacker" has yet again been redefined. I've been reading HN a few years now, commenting under various pseudonyms, and find it perfectly acceptable t…

It's official- Rails 4.0 is coming out : Post.find_by name: 'Spartacus', rating: 4 Post.find_by "published_at Post.find_by! name: 'Spartacus' But seriously... I don't really see an…

Very, very cool stuff. Haveband is also a good idea, but I think the interface could be improved by using a dropdown/select for the values- having each of those side by side with t…

The willingness to involve new contributors can be even more important than how they reject contributions. On a few open source projects I used, the lead developers spent a lot of …

I agree with the OP about special interests misleading people into thinking that a claim is valid because there are studies backing it up. However, I think the OP is wrong about Fe…

I like this post, and I think it probably mirrors quite a number of businesses. That said, I know a business that is making substantial money off of Facebook advertisements... beca…

Why simulate Lambda? Couldn't they just have waited on Java 8? Or maybe just used JRuby, if Java was a requirement? Still- it's great that they shared this.

It shouldn't allow the same guy to make the same prediction over and over. Neat idea tho. I predict end of day in the 60s/share.
