Hi, HN! Konbini is a one-man project I've been working on for the better part of the year, and I think I've finally reached a point where it makes sense to put it out into the worl…

utm_source is set to 'HN', so the original poster did include it, or it would say something else.

Man, leave it to HN to turn an article that has _nothing_ to do with a specific technology (notice how the app the author makes an example of isn't even a web app?) into an excuse …

>Unfortunately your architecture limits us to JS style of development when failed request is ok, user will refresh the page. On what planet is this "the JS style of development"? S…

What does "en-masse configuration" even mean?

Who the hell does scroll hijacking on mobile ?

Absolutely. I also live in an Eastern European country with a large (and growing) IT outsourcing industry, and from my experience here, that statement couldn't be farther from the …

>> I was told "I seem to be senstive about being Indian" out of nowhere. Jesus. It's amazing to think someone who's worked so long in the tech industry can think like this. If anyt…

Yeah, I uploaded my high school graduation photo and it guessed 27. Guess it weighs facial hair a bit too heavily.

Huh. When I read the title I figured it would be a crowdsourced system where people guessed the age and it just showed you the average. This is much more interesting.

I'm just happy I wasn't taking a sip of my coffee when I read that title. Is this what passes as tech journalism these days? Did they get Buzzfeed to give them pointers or somethin…

I wouldn't say it's a 'totally separate effort'. Much of the core CyanogenMod dev team are also Cyanogen Inc. employees. I assume what you meant to say is that CyanogenMod is entir…

I've seen a bunch of companies in my region use this service: https://www.centili.com/ I'm surprised it didn't catch on sooner. It's a genius idea for enabling online payments in p…

I live in Serbia. Yes, I've known many poor people. By western standards I'm fairly poor myself. I'm not saying all poor people are poor by their own fault. Far from it, especially…

Node-sass isn't a JavaScript port of SASS, it's a Node.JS binding for libsass, the native (C) SASS compiler. The first paragraph of the readme tells you as much.

Do developers really care whether a tool is written in JS rather than Ruby, or vice-versa? If you're running *nix it's pretty likely you have Ruby installed out of the box anyway. …

If I invested my life savings into a company that hasn't turned a profit in five years, that wouldn't make the company or the exchange a scam, it would simply make me an idiot. Nob…

You're forgetting that many people are poor because they never got proper financial education. They're poor because they can't handle money, not the other way around. In fact, this…

>Unfortunately, the built-in IDE for Unity is MonoDevelop, which has all the problems Xamarin does, You don't have to use Mono though, you can use any editor. In fact, Visual Studi…

Yeah, a huge part of why I still (mainly) run Windows at home is easy access to Visual Studio. With third party extensions (e.g. ReSharper), and even without them, it's probably th…
