Hype fighter.

Plus all good names are taken and there is no strategy for recycling unused ones - simply embarrassing.

_random_··on Jisp – A programmable language that compiles to JavaScript

The correct term is 'transpilation'.

_random_··on Bootstrap 3.3.0 and Bootstrap 4

You know, humans work at enterprises. And we would appreciate reducing the crazy touch-friendly padding and margins as well!

_random_··on Bootstrap 3.3.0 and Bootstrap 4

Phew, no BootScript!

_random_··on Ask HN: I keep doing the same thing over and over, how do I change?

Don't do it alone?

_random_··on Front end Frameworks – Which will stand the test of time?

Seems to be just about HTML and JS rather than front-ends in a general sense.

_random_··on Functional programming and condescension

They are just frustrated that the only way to make functional programming useful is mixing it with some good old OOP and imperative stuff - the recent rise of Scala and C# are a proof.

_random_··on Four Banks, Including JPMorgan, Fined in Europe Over ‘Cartel’ Behavior

Still, they are a few who can pay competitive money to developers in UK.

_random_··on Google is developing cancer and heart attack detector

Yes, sending info straight to insurers/lenders.

_random_··on HTML5 is done, but two groups still wrestle over Web's future

"...anything that slows the improvement of the Web means programmers are more likely to devote their energies to writing apps for smartphones and tablets running on Apple's iOS and Google's Android operating systems instead of HTML5..."

And rightly so. Being locked into a store worries me much, much less than being locked into using JS and HTML.

_random_··on Ask HN: What are the best alternatives to Google services?

Outlook.com and Office 365.

_random_··on The Dangers of Eating Late at Night

Well, I was sleeping midday in the kindergarten. I really wish I could still do this at work.

_random_··on The Dangers of Eating Late at Night

Does Jain work in e.g. Norway?

_random_··on This is how Google kills your app

Only Flappy Bird clones are welcome.

_random_··on Elon Musk: With artificial intelligence we are summoning the demon

True. Flawed as any analogy, but cars don't need animal-like legs, wheels are more efficient and they are not well-represented in nature.

_random_··on Stealthy startup Soft Machines launches virtual CPU cores

But is it the fastest way to burn through the cash? Moving to a fancy office would be more efficient.

_random_··on Larry Page Reorgs Staff, Anoints Sundar Pichai as New Product Czar

That post is for visionaries, Pichai does not yet come across as one.

_random_··on Microsoft's Q1 2015: Surface growing strongly and Lumia sales up

Sometimes it's just a bit of annoying not be able to find a popular game available on other platforms. Even Android has this problem though. Hopefully the situation will change given Apple's current inability to develop innovative products. Let's just give it a couple of years.

_random_··on Elon Musk: With artificial intelligence we are summoning the demon

I would rather die by the robot than from cancer or a heart failure. Curing ageing, curing cancer, enabling regeneration are all extremely hard problems. We need help.

_random_··on Why I left my PM role at Microsoft

It was a nice post but the following is just a bit hard to reconcile in my head:

> "Start something new; change the world"

> "a friend who’s founded an awesome startup (JogsForDogs)"

and

"There has to be a better way to measure customer service ROI. We think we've found it."

_random_··on Alan Eustace Jumps from Stratosphere, Breaking Felix Baumgartner’s World Record

...at the age of 57.

_random_··on Ask HN: Do you vote?

Yes, for goods and services - with my money.

_random_··on Mono for Unreal Engine

Are you seriously comparing JavaScript to F#/C#? Really?

_random_··on Mono for Unreal Engine

I think it is very fair if Unity will be in the same boat as e.g. MonoGame.

_random_··on Mono for Unreal Engine

Good! Unity is in a desperate need for competition. How old is their Mono version again?

_random_··on What Organized Crime Pays

Sounds like an investment firm, but with a bit more vertical mobility :).

_random_··on Is WPF dead: the present and future of WPF

Half of Angular is pretty much a WPF/MVVM rip-off, so it's a good experience.

_random_··on Is WPF dead: the present and future of WPF

Will anyone be mad enough to adopt the next living corpse of tomorrow - WinJS?

_random_··on Is WPF dead: the present and future of WPF

Enjoy it while it lasts, Bootstrap/HTML and JS are so lame after XAML and C# :(.

_random_··on Docker and Microsoft partner to drive adoption of distributed applications

They are a bit lame now - trying to adopt legacy stuff like HTML instead of fixing it with something nice like XAML.
