In 5 days: "whoops nevermind"

i do appreciate the comments here from people who actually have firsthand experience with this. i think a lot of people on HN find this story interesting because it's so far from t…

Nice read, thank you. Glad you got out of there

dota 2 is not as extreme about this as, say, starcraft. in starcraft, most "strategies" are heavily scripted build orders that almost never deviate from a handful of openings (simi…

My impression is that nicotine is "essentially" harmless but caffeine is actually harmless, maybe even good for you (kind of like a glass of red wine a week).

One thing that bugs me about ecigarettes is that the flavoring chemicals are totally untested. Vegetable glycerin is essentially harmless and is even used in asthma inhalers, and n…

> Old version just worked and got out the way. Just when I thought I had heard every opinion on npm, I find someone with the opinion "It always worked fine."

Or you could avoid adtech and misleading clickbait, which everyone hates

I agree with your first (non-quoted) paragraph. Please don't blame this on #metoo. it just happened, and I think the first point you made was just as legitimate before #metoo

Oh my god, can we have one article on this topic without this comment? The whole problem is that 99% of websites people visit come with trackers.

This is a great idea

What's more likely, that the EU wants good PR and hopes that nobody will notice they're not accomplishing anything, or that they're representing their constituents by making widely…

> and that code review is of no value. I don't agree with this at all. Code review is obviously a huge benefit once you have enough money to pay more than one engineer per gigantic…

I work for a tiny 2-man project and we need to save all the time we can, so we don't code review. We actually have an unofficial policy: all code that is directly user-facing (web …
