One thing from Clean Code that fundamentally changed the way I write code was the bit about how “Comments Lie”. I hadn’t really thought about it much before. But since then, I see lying comments absolutely everywhere.…
I'm not a huge fan of the UI (images are nice, but only for about half of the usual HN content), but I am very impressed by the performance of the app. The speed at which images and content are loaded (esp. during…
As far as beginners are concerned, that shouldn't really matter. Hide all that complexity in a `./build.sh` or `make` and hand them a config and a README. The author of the article is a web designer with a slightly…
I'm getting tired of these pointless non-specific rants. You could write an article about "How it feels to learn C++ in 2016" and make it all about the complexities of operating systems, linking, compilation, text…
When "sprinkling Javascript" turns into "making sauce for the spaghetti you've been cooking", it's probably time to consider React or something similar.
What do you mean? Somebody wanted to write code in a particular way and extended the language with a couple of utilities for doing so, then decided to publish it for others to use. I don't see the problem. Could you…
Honest question: Why? I don't understand why people inherently dislike Javascript (aside from, y'know, creepy ad networks).
...but why do you want to access it by index? Since you refuse to be more specific, it sounds like you're just not willing to learn the language and the way problems are solved with it. Expecting mutable C-type arrays…
I really like the ideas behind Matrix. Sure, the existing (open) clients aren't all that sexy, and synapse can be a bit slow sometimes. But implementing your own client is a breeze and bridging other networks through…
The "positive" things about the issue/pull request etc. is presumably already explained by the author. "Issue 1234: We need this feature because reasons A, B and C." If you don't think that A, B and C justifies the…
Yeah I guess. Still, I for one would be more than willing to pay a few extra bucks for a stripped-down version of the Pi with wireless included. Actually, all I'm looking for in this type of machine is Linux, Wi-Fi and…
I don't see anything about Ethernet/Wi-Fi. Am I missing something? I understand they had to cut some features to reduce the prize. But networking is such a fundamental requirement for these types of systems, you'd think…
