One thing from Clean Code that fundamentally changed the way I write code was the bit about how “Comments Lie”. I hadn’t really thought about it much before. But since then, I see …

I'm not a huge fan of the UI (images are nice, but only for about half of the usual HN content), but I am very impressed by the performance of the app. The speed at which images an…

As far as beginners are concerned, that shouldn't really matter. Hide all that complexity in a `./build.sh` or `make` and hand them a config and a README. The author of the article…

Honest question: Why? I don't understand why people inherently dislike Javascript (aside from, y'know, creepy ad networks).

The "positive" things about the issue/pull request etc. is presumably already explained by the author. "Issue 1234: We need this feature because reasons A, B and C." If you don't t…

Yeah I guess. Still, I for one would be more than willing to pay a few extra bucks for a stripped-down version of the Pi with wireless included. Actually, all I'm looking for in th…

I don't see anything about Ethernet/Wi-Fi. Am I missing something? I understand they had to cut some features to reduce the prize. But networking is such a fundamental requirement …
