There's no way they didn't push this as hard as they could for a marketing blog post.

The Half-life 2 Combine Solider armor. It almost looks silly like they're wearing a pillow, but it lets you tack on a ton of protection for your center mass without affecting mobil…

This anecdote and using the word "deadbeat" is oft repeated but doesn't really have much basis in reality (even the article you linked doesn't cite any sources for the term). Credi…

I had interpreted the parent comment to be about gameplay, but those are all fantastic points about matchmaking and the related QoL improvements. It absolutely is taken for granted…

> Halo 2 was the most innovative online game of all time In what ways exactly? Competitive online FPSs with strong modding communities were already more than a decade in full swing…

> Snide remarks about astroturfing are also off topic here. How is that off topic when there are literally people in this thread from Canva arguing the framing and not the main poi…

Yeah I think it's one of those features that people generally steer away from. Ironically, if you stick to the "Rails way" of doing things I don't think you would ever encounter it…

Wherein people who only develop in Chrome cry about web standards

Can you not use the `path` option in each Gemfile for local development? https://bundler.io/v1.12/man/gemfile.5.html#PATH-path-

I'm kind of shocked by how poorly understood basic HTTP stuff like this is for HN audience based on the comments and article itself. My filter bubble must be tuned to "web."

This is exactly the kind of tactic/hack that PG/Y Combinator actively encourages for that stage of startup is it not?

Missing the issue by a mile: It's the place data not the maps, and you're required in the ToS to use Google's maps if you want to display their data geospatially. When Factual/Four…

Nip in the "bud" not "butt" as long as we're offing exacting critiques ;) https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/nip+in+the+bud

The national guard does not work like that. Also, no the military cannot just shoot people on the spot for being in the area of looting, it is not a "statement of fact." You just m…

I liked this piece, but came out of it more on the side of frameworks, oddly, than libraries. I went into it with a bias ostensibly shared by the author based on the title but here…

Many people are upset about the child separation and detention policies which were not standard under the Obama administration as opposed to deportation. Conflating the two seems t…

'Tosche Station' and 'power converters' obviously - see 90% is all I need!

This seems so backwards to me. Why not do it as part of your CI process where you're not foisting unnecessary tooling on your developers local machines? The lag involved in spinnin…

> just plain censorship Who are they censoring, themselves? The word "Censorship" has been so abused in the past few years it has ceased to have any real meaning in casual conversa…

> I have never had a framework project where I didn’t end up fighting the very system that was supposed to make development “easy”. Not always, but often, I find this attitude in d…

I don't understand the conflation of Rest/JSON with NoSQL. The most popular frameworks for the dynamic languages you cite all use SQL with strong schemas out of the box. Come to th…

I really wish there was a fourth option: "Squash and Create a Merge Commit." It's nice to have a single commit per feature, but also see when it was merged into master and by who.

As well as the setup and maintenance of infrastructure.

GraphViz can output directed graphs in a variety of formats: http://www.graphviz.org/ I recently worked on a project where we started off looking to use something similar to what o…
