Would love to see this after a bit of tweaking!

And so, by cleverly digitizing his precious type specimens -- which he fought bitterly to protect from automation -- we've done exactly what he strove to prevent. Are you happy now…

Serious question: Why do I need/want to store data in my money?

Take the job and keep coding on the side. Stay current and stay sharp. Who gives a shit what other people think.

You've obviously never hit one of the many edge-cases in front-end development that are simply not possible (without an incredible amount of hacking effort). Multi-line vertical te…

Misleading title is misleading. Server-side rendering is an approach already used by people who know what they're doing with webapps. Nice approach but linkbaity title bro.

I have no degree and I am 0.5 out of 1 full time programmers at a major footwear apparel company. Just keep working, keep reading. Fuck the paper credentials. Never stop learning.

I would like to know why the Indian Sanskrit scholars refused to help NASA. My best guess is that they are wary of the possibilities of AI when expressed in such an efficient langu…

Why is this on the front page?

tl;dr

I feel the same way. These are certainly funny signs, but they're completely useless and ultimately distracting from the park in which they're placed. I will, by default, sit on a …

Sure, these signs are cute, even original. But without any honest purpose beyond being witty, they're frankly not adding value to the public. Yes, I would prefer to see traditional…

This is a really neat project. My only comment is that I don't see much of a real-world use case for it. It strikes me as a one-off or a novelty app that'll be old news as soon as …

JSON is a container for data. It is no less safe than XML, HTML or plaintext. It's your application's architecture and basic security measures that define how "safe" your JSON is. …

Absolutely not hard, but PG is too busy/lazy to care about making improvements to HN. The people here who argue it's "hacker tradition" to embrace minimalism/build browser extensio…

Boy, I love linkbait fucking titles. Lambos are not "cars" they are highly refined, intricately tuned instruments.

I realize this must have been discussed before, but seriously -- why hasn't this been fixed yet? For a website with a community as devoted to user experience as Hacker News, backed…

Ughhh linkbait titles. This isn't ridicule for open-sourcing, it's ridicule for BAD CODE

In a word, money.

I'm sorry. I disagree that you are "institutionalizing a gap" by not going out of your way to get women because research says they are less likely to apply. There is no "institutio…

I can't tell which viewpoint this author is taking. It's dripping with sarcasm and it seems to dilute the point he's trying to make.

So much visual clutter. Sorry. It's beautiful but so disorganized.

Very fascinating find. Having just finished reading Empire of the Summer Moon, I would not have wanted to be anywhere near the Southern Plains areas in 1857.
