I was literally actually thinking of this just the other day. Alcohol now gives me intestinal liquidity, possibly a result of too many years of 3-4 beer a night. And I couldn't fig…

The only thing on the planet Apple doesn't have enough money to buy is itself. We MAY be in a bubble, but this is in no way an indication of that.

Yea, that's about the worst advice to give a programmer/hacker. The "maybe I can try this" and "I wonder if I could do this" is the core of my world. I've been told by actual engin…

This is great, but if you use a password manager, it's very difficult to determine which, if any, of your accounts would be compromised. For myself, this would just be doing a dump…

Why not, I'm talking about a construct that doesn't exist. A SQL literal string can be stored and auto parameterized prior to interpolation. You see the :int isn't the name, it's t…

I wouldn't call that better. I'd much rather have a self escaping sql literal, something like: var query = "select id, name from table where id = #{id:int}"

I don't have time to look, but when I signed up, I was given the option for a free trial and the option to spend $500+ depending on the package. I'll have to look closer, but I sus…

That's pretty awesome, now if I can fins a decent terminal browser that supports javascript and vim keybindings and the equivalent of chromes devtools, I can spend all of my time i…

Marginalizing an entire group of people simply because it doesn't fit with your narrative isn't logical, it's ignorance.

These aren't even logical arguments. I've presented use cases where voice recognition may be the only feasible way to interact. Is a voice recognition server's security as secure a…

Well, I frequently see the people mentioned above, especially the elderly needing help with their phones or email or online banking, and giving their passwords to a trusted family …

I'm thinking it's quite handy for a quadriplegics, those with learning disabilities, children, elderly, arthritis sufferers, parkinson's sufferers, thalidomide sufferers, disable i…

I would recommend against this in Canada, as it's illegal.

I'll be honest, I'd be much more receptive to you doing a show hn over pimping the framework in the comments of every js post.

It's easy enough to release some rats, throw some feces into a pot when you're the hotel owner. These guys weren't playing ethically. They need to be outed. edit: changed an autoco…

Fair enough, but it's still a valid comparison for most of us looking. Is the $600 machine 'good enough' for my usage, and it looks like it will be.

We removed the last bits 3-4 weeks ago. We started with a pre-1.0, but all the headaches with that are on me, not Ember. I will probably check it out again at a 2.0 or 3.0 release,…

Absolutely, you are 100% correct. I definitely misspoke.

I don't think anyone is missing the point at all. I fully understand what you're attempting to do because I tried to implement an Ember project only to have so many negatives pile …

What is it with functional cheerleaders and their inflammatory language and cherry picked arbitrary criteria?

Follow all the articles listed back to the journal being referenced.

FBI honeypot? Why bother, just cross reference your advertising shadow profiles with a few trackers of what you're interested in. Combine that with the scrape Canada is doing with …

HN is a fickle beast, one I've quit several times for being down voted to oblivion for a humours but on topic, relevant and quite poignant comment. And the very next story on the t…

I still haven't gotten it working in vim consistently enough to switch to the mac for development. When it does work, the lag makes it too slow, doesn't really allow for method dis…
