If you try building a realtime single page app using Meteor and measure the amount of time it took you to complete it, you'll find that the hype is justified.

How would it go away? Ellen Pao's going to appeal against the verdict which will lead to Kleiner-Perkins being in the news again.

I read this book a few years back and while I found it quite interesting as a story, I did not glean any major insights from it. It most likely has to do with my own ignorance abou…

Thanks for the link. I already have a pretty decent setup, but I'm always looking to improve it. Trying it out now.

Emacs with Evil mode is the best editor ever. For pure text editing capability Vim can't be beat, but it lacks some niceties like ability to run shells, an integrated package insta…

I was referencing vayarajesh's comment, not hnnewguy's.

OP is a term that's been used thousands of times in discussions posted on HN, the same can't be said of hashtags.

> Why is it bothering you? I'm not the OP, but it bothered me too. It goes against HN's general discussion style.

Simply donating money isn't the most effective way to change the world. Who knows how the charities spend the money? In an ideal situation, the CEOs themselves would run the charit…

There are plenty of legitimate products out there to promote, but those Acai Berry/Weight loss rebill offers were really shady and one had to have absolutely no moral compass to pr…

If you can't beat them, join them! Of course your comment was meant sarcastically, but I wonder if authors(of genuine books not the spammy ones) might turn to posting fake reviews …

It's always a cat and mouse game however. Once they employ machine learning, I'm assuming the spammers will adapt and create reviews that fool the algorithm(though at an increased …

It could simply be a case of disillusionment at Tesla. Also Apple employees are known to leave Apple, either to start a company or for a sabbatical but then go back to working at A…

Perhaps they are good enough for the stage the company is in. Not all startups need highly-skilled developers when all they're doing is build CRUD apps.

The article's passive-aggressive tone is overbearing. Why can't they simply present the evidence, say they are very disappointed with the YC company for stealing their design and b…

Isn't that a big setback for adoption though? The world is moving to multiple-cores, albeit slowly.

Can Pharo/Squeak programs utilize multiple cores? Last I checked, they used green threads and there weren't any plans to add true multi-threading.

The main process or any parent process can be made to not block by spawning sub-processes that handle an entire group of child processes , so I don't see how that is a problem.

No actor-model based language has this problem, so perhaps all it comes down to is baking in the right(or even any decent) concurrency support from the start, at the language level…

> Where would you look for a Mac freelancer? Odesk and Elance. Only hire people who've worked on multiple projects and have high ratings. There are plenty of talented people out th…

I think there's another option. You could hire a freelancer and have him/her fix the bugs and get it working on Yosemite. Depending on the complexity of the code, this may or may n…
