basdp··on Show HN: IsTempMail – Detect and block disposable email addresses
This is such a bad idea. 99 out of a 100 times the use case for such a service is because the developer wants to make sure it can spam a real email address.
basdp··on Angular 4.0.0 Now Available
It says nothing more than Angular has a lot more documentation. Perhaps because Angular has a lot more features.
basdp··on Streama – A self-hosted streaming application with your own media library
So you just rebuild Plex?
basdp··on Ask HN: What is your side project for 2017?
Well, if you are making clear that you are just a little bit less unexperienced as the target audience, there is nothing wrong... But if you are going to charge money...
basdp··on Ask HN: What is your side project for 2017?
You have been working with something for 3 months and you think you are proficient enough to warrant writing a book about it?
basdp··on Ask HN: How do I learn to use Powerpoint well?
This is exactly what the OP didn't ask for. He wants to learn the software. He doesn't want to learn how to present.
basdp··on Shinatra – A simple bash web server
Considering C has the semicolon, you can probably write it in less than 5 because you can put almost anything on a single line.
basdp··on Shinatra – A simple bash web server
Neither.
basdp··on Running Debian 0.91 in qemu
[quote]It is also amazing that this all still manages to run in an emulator.[/quote]

Why is this amazing at all? Older OSes are primarily using older and simpler features like ISA and pheripheral requirements. If an emulator can't emulate that, how can we expect it to run anything more sophisticated?

basdp··on ▷ JS++: JavaScript Classes, Modules, Type Checking and More
How is this different from for instance TypeScript, which also guarantees that types are always correct if you use it right?
basdp··on Movie recommendations based on your personal taste
BTW, loving the idea and already found some promising new movies to watch!
basdp··on Movie recommendations based on your personal taste
This site begs for a IMDB rating import function... I've rated hundreds on movies on there, but I'm not prepared to do it all again on a different site while all the data is already for the grabs..!
basdp··on Show HN: Recreating the “This Also” Loader in SVG
Unfortunately this breaks in Safari, the 'dot' is not connected to the wave.
basdp··on Show HN: Bish – Shell scripting with a modern feel
def printall(files) {

    for (f in files) {

        print(f);

    }
}

# cwd, ls, and cd are all builtin functions.

dir = cwd();

files = ls();

print("Files in current directory $dir:");

printall(files);

cd("/");

files = ls();

print("Files in root directory:");

printall(files);

Whats wrong with this, much shorter Bash sequence:

echo Files in current directory `pwd`:

ls

cd /

echo Files in root directory:

ls

basdp··on Install All Google Fonts on Mac / Linux
Therefor you should always check out the script before running.
basdp··on iCloud Terminal Notepad
Is this also possible for the regular notes app on iOS/OS X? It does sync with iCloud but I am not able to check if it's available in iCloud Drive.
basdp··on You already use Lisp syntax
Well, if you limit yourself enough, almost any language is a 'lisp'. Maybe we should stop calling anything with parentheses a 'lisp'.
