Well to be fair, people who gave their real AWS keys also acted as, if not more, foolishly than the devs. From amazon: "For your protection, you should never share your secret acce…

Sites where js performance of this kind is worth the substantial increase in engineering effort and decrease in maintainability are 1 in 1000. This guy reminds me of the people who…

I've spent almost a year combined working with dojo on a large project and I have to say that in some ways I totally disagree with you and in some ways, man are you right. In gener…

I second that. This is amazing. Don't let "practical talk" dissuade you. Can you comment on the slowness? I feel like other issues (unimplemented features) can be resolved over tim…

An important side point: don't use #id unless you have a very very good reason and even then think twice. there is nothing more irritating than trying to refactor code that assumes…

Your point is valid but the things that keep linux from widespread adoption go way way beyond drivers (and drivers are a big deal). I really wonder how many people commending have …

I can't even look at the HN front page until this article is gone. It is like being slapped every time I see it. Should have went?? WTF?

At almost 40 I'd be worried about ageism. Seriously, most high demand freelancers are your age at the oldest and most are younger. Fair or not there is a widespread perception that…

Dear delusional apple fanboi, Apple didn't invent their interface and there was nothing particularly innovative about it except: the concept of an app store and the integrity of do…

I'm in the same boat although I'm thinking about a used 17" MBP and running Ubuntu. Not sure if that absolves me.

I'm not ignoring it at all. I'm just calling bullshit on the idea that the cost is anywhere near "huge". 1 developer, 75% time. That's it. If they are north of 2 developers they ar…

Techcrunch and readership are complete douchebag hipster wannabe idiots. Reading the tc comments on this article made me want to spit.

How many people are honestly required to maintain iGoogle? Full time? One? Two if they browse the internet most of the day. Just leave it up for christs sake. I wonder if this isn'…

They are living in some fantasy land. I know tons of people who use iGoogle and even if overall not that many people are, that doesn't mean it isn't valuable for what it does. I'd …

I don't actually get the IM or the notification on my phone. Strange. In any case, 99% of the designers I work with and 75% of the developers have iPhone/Mac and don't use either A…

Yeah the guy seemed pretty aware of it too. Painful to watch.

OMG so boring. Google needs to learn how to put on a show. Also, Hangouts is G+ best feature but sadly it is really hard to get people together on it. Why when I invite someone do …

I'm confused by their description of templates as "messy" and their decision to use laconic. Not an opinion that I think is widely held and definitely doesn't make sense to me. (by…

I'm at peace with the upgradablity issue. It is personal taste so whatever. I agree with others that it is a silly debate and that the author is overly butt-hurt. However, his "reb…

The attitude of the author is irritating and all too common in people in love with a self image of being an intellectual. "In the absence of rigorous experimental evidence, I’m qui…

yes, you should. (ignore my previous tower of babel whining wrt this particular application which sounds completely awesome)

On the one hand I get why people are excited about this and why people like coffeescript, especially when source maps start working in inspector/firebug. You can write web apps in …

Stop programming on Windows, problem solved!
