Providing an option to install with npm simply makes it more convenient for those devs who already use it - which surely is not an insignificant number. Nothing is requiring you to…

You're right, typo in the title!

I personally find it odd to create every component as a jquery plugin. To me, it makes more sense to write a plugin only when you're extending jquery core functionality itself in s…

I agree about the quality of those few pitches I watched. But if you notice the red vs green monetary amount next to each video - all of them except one were rejected. So you can s…

I think that most wars are are just based on the wealthy and powerful retaining or increasing their wealth and power. Average citizens generally don't have problems with each other…

I found the videos really interesting to watch because we see lots of polished pitches here on HN, but here we're seeing everything. These are mostly just going to a VC with a hand…

The word "trained" does seem dubious as if the bees were taught to obey commands! More likely the bees were "persuaded" to use cannabis by either proximity of the plants and/or tre…

Same here. Not having multiple projects open is a total deal breaker for us. We have a couple of shared libs that go with our projects and not being able to have them all open toge…

I can't seem to get into the game of fully automated deployments to production. It definitely interests me but a few things always hold me back. The first issue is that I've probab…

That is true, and to make matters worse it's probably near impossible to figure the right amount out when you've just started the company. You don't always know how people will win…

This is possibly the most interesting fumblebrag that I've read in a while. It has a few issues which have been hot on HN recently as well as some age-old problems. The dependence …

That's pretty much exactly what my perception is. Add to that, you're account gets shut down and/or frozen without warning and only a kafka-esque system to find out why you were sh…

I's say it would be more like comparing a male who rapes a female with a male who watches that rape. Regardless, though, the term "pedophile" by definition is someone who is sexual…

In other words... Art.

I feel that people who watch child porn and find it appealing rather than repulsive - qualifies you as a pedophile in my book. It's certainly a lesser crime than actual sexual assa…

A plugin that allowed you to whitelist as you go would probably be pretty usable after a few days of training.

Don't forget the semi-colon on the end of line 10 to remove the line break and spread the message across the whole screen!

Perhaps these teen sites were a drop in the bucket and not worth the hassle of any association with diet pills? But to just throw away a loyal audience of millions of people who ar…

Well like many people, this guy is pointing out a true and real problem. SF is a world class city but there are an unusually high number of drug addicts and homeless people walking…

I really don't know of any specific cases either, but it does seem to be a fear that is perpetuated regardless. Regardless it's just seems like there's so many opportunities to cre…

Ordinarily I'd agree with you. Except the tradeoff of having Google's other contributions to the main branch is probably worth it for a little bit of code that isn't harming anyone…

I think the only way really to make it work is by having a private "beta" invites or the placeholder or something so that you can build some excitement and get people signed up. Be…

He's one of the original creators of one of the first web browsers - arguably one of the early architects of the web. And since has parlayed his fortune to become one of the top in…

You can create a placeholder site that explains your idea and see if you can get people to sign up to be on your announcement and/or beta list. That will also tell you if your idea…
