This already happens on Giff-Gaff (a mobile network) and is opt-out only. It's not uncommon to find out a security-related blog on the front page of HN is blocked by the filter, and sites for projects like Metasploit are also blocked.

It's silly.

There's a startling lack of empathy here. Overcoming feelings of isolation and trying to get more involved is easier said than done for some, and the whole concept of taking something by the horns and just fucking dealing with it, or offering advice by 'telling it like it is' is astonishingly unhelpful to anyone who feels upset or down because of something. Not just sexism, or isolation, but depression, anxiety, loneliness, and all manner of things which will cause a person to feel like they're on the outside looking in, or beyond reproach.

The entire post cries out for such an empathetic response and I'm not surprised in the slightest that none is forthcoming in this thread.

I've had experiences myself relating to this attitude to things, and know that posts like this are incredibly difficult to write, and the emotions are difficult to discuss. I'm glad the author found the courage to publish it.

Sounds elitist. The only crime the author would have committed there is choosing a linkbaity title for their post, because something like that could cover any amount of interesting topics.

"Understanding Go and Coroutines as a PHP developer" for example might be useful, and it wouldn't suffer from being written by someone who hadn't absorbed the living spirit of Rob Pike before they wrote it.

It's handy unless you accidentally start searching for anything that could be mistaken for an IP address or domain. Typing in `0x10c` to find the site for the game, or `minimal-library.js`, or whatever, won't take you to a search results page.

Works alright for most things though, and I think it's still better than Google's default to Google approach, which is frustrating when you're working on a locally hosted site and keep getting sent to a search page.

Since Adobe requires you to register before you can download one of their trials, I'd wager that a lot of them are completely throwaway, or just lifted from bugmenot or whatever.

You can do Rails to a fair extent without really knowing Ruby, and just fumbling through it with a bunch of gems and messy code. In some ways it can be the gateway to learning Ruby itself, if you were so inclined to do so.

For things like CoffeeScript, which are fairly thin layers over another language, I'd always advise to just learn JS first. Dart and Clojurescript though are so far removed from their compilation target that you don't really need to know the JS, as long as there's good library support for what you want to do. In the case of clojurescript the interop is so seamless that it puts the focus on learning the APIs, which is where the true complexity lies. Of course, and even more so with typing, you also have the compiler to back you up.

Anecdotal, but there have been a number of times I've clicked a result on Google, and have been unable to get back to the results page without either double clicking the back button or finding it in the history. You'd just go to the original page that redirects you to the actual content and get stuck in a loop.

I'm probably young enough to have experienced Enterprise PHP, which by all accounts (at least when Symfony2 was just released) seemed like the love-child of Enterprise C++ and Enterprise Java.

This is much more inspired. I sort of feel sympathetic, because of the potential mental anguish you were likely to have incurred while writing it.

It doesn't feel like it's enterprise enough to be realistic.

    class TwoBaconRashersInsideTwoSlicesOfBreadFactory {
      
      /* Make a sandwich
       * <p>
       * Construct a foodstuff consisting of two slices 
       * of bread with two slices of bacon.
       * @return TwoBaconRashersInsideTwoSlicesOfBread a sandwich
       */
      Public TwoBaconRashersInsideTwoSlicesOfBread getSandwich () {
       BaconRasherFactory pig = new BaconRasherFactory();

       BaconRasherInstance bacon1 = pig.getBaconRasher();
       BaconRasherInstance bacon2 = pig.getBaconRasher();


       SliceOfBreadFactory loaf = new SliceOfBreadFactory();
       
       SliceOfBread bread1 = loaf.getSliceOfBread();
       SliceOfBread bread2 = loaf.getSliceOfBread();

       return new TwoBaconRashersInsideTwoSlicesOfBread(bread1, bacon1, bacon2, bread2); 
    }

Or something... trying to do Enterprise Java is hard.

You can't renew your fingerprint, though.

There are many 'beers' in existence which, for all that they taste like, might as well be the product of a human civet.

Considering that Mario Kart has the rubber-banding effect to give less skilled players a chance, it doesn't seem unreasonable to assume that all their other multiplayer games have similar mechanisms to make the game fair for everyone.

Notice how the usage of 'Anonymous' as a proper noun means it has an identifiable name.

Google Authenticator doesn't see much love on iOS, and anyone using it while testing iOS7 will struggle to actually use it properly.

To be fair, if you wanted to convert a PSD to HTML the last thing you'd need is Bootstrap.

And also by the same token, pinning it squarely on the condition can equally downplay the situation such a person might find themselves in.

It's an incredibly difficult topic to discuss.

> Why do some people survive terrible hardships, and others don't?

> Aaron suffered from [...] depression for many years.

This answers the question, although I would prefer not to use the term 'suicidal depression', which is not a medical term.

As someone who's attempted suicide, I also believe your choice of quote is both wrong and unfair. Surviving the holocaust is in no way comparable to surviving the things your mind can convince you to do when you suffer from anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder or any other such condition.

They recommend doing that when the user "presses an action button or link". This is not the same as launching a browser extension.

Blindly following some person's recommendations doesn't even close to having good UI (or UX). eg. Opting for no confirmation and providing an undo option is an absolutely terrible idea for a 'format disk' button in an OS installer.

That sounds like OpenResty: http://openresty.org

I suppose the overbearing influence of the San Francisco startup scene doesn't really have that much of an effect on the general HN readership...

"The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to discuss the matter publicly."

The irony is delicious.

While it may be clutching at straws, Mozilla do actually use 'Moz' for vendor prefixing in Firefox. While purely technical (and only applicable to CSS), there may on some small occasion be a need for disambiguation.

That said, and to my knowlege, Moz has never been a colloquial term for Mozilla. So probably no need to worry.

They were probably right on the money considering Yahoo's reputation.

"I'd like to say again though that supporting more browsers is not one of my primary goals."

That's a shame.

I've made this mistake, only I was too naïve at the time to realise my mistake, thinking that vim, because of its reputation, could surely handle it. A server reboot later and I was enlightened.

Possibly tangential, but you can copy and paste and get different results based on context (eg. copy image file, paste into HTML doc, get image tag; paste into terminal, get path; paste into mail client, get attachment; paste into image editor, get the image itself). It definitely works in OSX, but IIRC it's supported in Windows too.

I last tried this around 18 months ago, in a Firefox extension. Was a bit fiddly but I could do what I wanted.

It'd be akin to the smattering of z-index:9999 you see all over the place.

The best thing about Adium is that every conversation can occupy its own little window, taking full advantage of OSX's window system. If you need to chat, the window for that specific conversation is right there to look at. Use exposé and you see all the chats at once.

Never do you have to open the monolithic Adium app, then click to the conversation that exists in a different 'folder'(since they use the same concept of Finder's sidebar).

I immensely dislike the concept of single window apps in OSX just because you can't dismiss the parts of the app you really don't care about. You can't see more than one portion of it at once, and you can't organise it on your very spacious desktop.
