EpicDavi

I would say this is a bit misleading. Personally, I was able to access my FB building this morning (after the outage started) and have continued to be able to use my badge with no problem since. Not saying that there are no employees experiencing this issue, but it is not affecting all Facebook employees.

I don't think so. I'd say the mobile market is quite different. Look at Android and the Google Play Store which also has similar pricing stipulations. There are players offering separate app sources/stores (Amazon or Epic appstores for example), but I certainly wouldn't consider virtually every big player or even a large portion opting out.

These are the absolutely useless arguments I come to Hacker News for.

After skimming the document for a bit, hiQ's argument looks really flaky. Especially grasping at straws like "Free Speech". They argue that LinkedIn is like a public mall and denying them access to the mall is denying them "Free Speech"? I don't see how this can be the case if they had no intent to "speak" at all in this place. Their data collection via scraping seems more like people-watching in the mall, if you go along with their analogy.

Python function decorators and Java annotations too.

Neat trick! Just used it to find out that this post id is divisible by 7.

I would argue that in the original, "base" was referring to a singular object and was not reduced down from "bases" (plural) to "base" (singular). Therefore, I do not think it is necessary to reduce "bugs" to "bug".

I know you are joking but if we are being pedantic here, "all your swarm are belong to us", would be more apt.

EDIT: Instead of swarm, a name for a group of bugs (errors) would be appropriate.

Not because it was designed badly, but because it has simply not kept up.

How has it not kept up?

Also FYI, there are no extension enabled versions of FireFox on iOS because Apple requires all web content to be rendered in their specified engine (WebKit IIRC) and Mozilla is not allowed to use their own.

I used Falcon for a relatively large project and enjoyed using it. It is noticeably faster than Flask and I can write code faster as well. It is very much still growing and features are being added. They call Flask "Batteries not included" but Falcon takes that to another level. There are also not very many extensions in comparison to Flask. If you are writing an API exclusively, I would choose Falcon. However, if you have any HTML/CSS/JS, Falcon is probably not suited for the project.

EDIT: Both are very good.

This is not a huge problem as if you are outputting the floating point number, you would probably want to round it anyways. The biggest 'gotcha' is when doing equality comparisons between these numbers.

Consider the following:

    .1 + .2 == .3 // false

Anyways, all you have to do is check if the absolute difference of the numbers is less than the epsilon:

    var a = .1 + .2, b = .3, epsilon = .00001;
    console.log(Math.abs(a-b)<epsilon); // true

For one thing, it doesn't looked like Google/Android did this at all. As others have said, it looks like someone has falsely contributed to the map and got past the review. Such an examples is pointed out by andrea_s here[1] (it is around the same area as the original link).

If it were believed that this was an official work by Android, I bet the comments would be much different. However, as it does not look official, the comments in this article cannot be compared to the comments on an article relating to what you describe.

EDIT: For those who can't see the link, the map says "GOOGLE REVIEW POLICY IS CRAP :(".

"It infringes the freedom of the press."

How so? Just because an article is published by the press, does not mean I am obligated to view it. The users who install AdBlock are doing so on their free will, not being forced by governmental or other propaganda groups.

Are you serious? Look at vayarajesh's original comment.

It 'clearly' states this: It makes me fall in love with Apple more. #Respect

No quotes. He/She was using it seriously.

To be fair, hash-tags are used to categorize and group content on social media. HN does not implement this functionality. Essentially, the '#' serves no purpose on HN. Therefore, it is easy to see why people get bothered by it.

Only 6 months access is a big turn off for me. Even if I use it for less than 6 months, I like the feeling that I could go back to the site and practice, if I wanted to. I'm guessing over 90% of users would not use it for the whole time, so server costs would seem like a non-issue.

EDIT: I spent so long typing this that organsnyder had the same response.

In addition, I feel that the price point is off a little here. I think that dropping the price (or at least adding unlimited access) would increase the amount of people buying the game at a higher percent.

Ah, thanks!

I am slightly confused:

Once the beta period ends, your copy of Monodraw would expire and you would not longer be able to use it.

Does this apply when you purchase the beta?

This is somewhat hidden on the page:

ReadMe was built almost entirely on Open Source projects, so we want to give back. If you're an open source project, shoot us an email and we'll upgrade you to the Developer Hub tier for free. It's the least we can do to give back.

Very cool.

I used it when I was contributing to Wikimedia in Google Code-In. It was very easy to use and the issue system was very powerful. The whole system looks powerful.

VMware, a company with net revenue of over $1 billion and over 14,000 employees...

Wow. I did not know they were that big.

Just a note: if you go to http://openloopz.com (no "www") it displays "Heroku | No such app". I'm guessing you mean to redirect to the "www" subdomain.

And how is that relevant?

Somebody did this with my school district on Twitter recently. They replaced a lowercase l with a capital I, and it looked the same with Twitter's font. The profanity they were tweeting was pretty hilarious.

I am using it right now and it is great! My only complaint is that it is a lot easier to type `ls` than `exa` :) (all the letters are on different key rows with the same hand)

Wow, thanks for pointing this out to me. I thought my phone had updated or something because everything looked so blocky... I had my friend check out my phone and he didn't see anything different. I thought I was going insane :(

Would be nice to see a cross platform release in the future! :)

Some of the comments on that gofundme are horrid. Some include laughing at and taunting him, saying that he deserved it.

Everybody forgot about Ebola :(

This project also has surprisingly pleasant documentation[1].
