I think i saw 8 libraries before who abused comments like this.

Edit: Yawn.

igl··on Germany turns up pressure in suspected US spy case
How much time you wasted reading spiegel... i can't imagine. You go back to the cold war era as if nothing happend the last 20 years and blather about meaningless surveys and feel gooderies. Very long message without any content.

Meta data is not useless. There is a great Ted talk from a german who sued deutsche telekom to release their meta data from him. He won and he reconstructed a perfect movement profile and social profile with the call history from himself. Just like you would see in the movies. The claim that its useless is only made by muppet politicians talking the issue down. He is a private person without 600 years of experience you 'may' 'likely' need. No secret.

Don't use credit cards. Problem Solved \o/

I want to be paid to read this. Was the op paid to advertise here?

igl··on EcmaScript Sixth Edition
I completely agree. It's like they did not learn from javascripts mistakes and just continue doing them.

Global Scope: not fixed. No integer: not fixed. Syntax to resemble JAVA more closely in a class-less language that already as 9999999999999 class libraries: FIXED

igl··on Tor exit node operator prosecuted in Austria
Do you work for der Spiegel? ;3
igl··on Why So Few Violent Games?
Are you familiar with "Sniper Elite"? (Slowmo murder porn) Do you know the stories they build into Battlefield games these days? (nuking iran, america fuck yeah)

Games are horrible... and mainly made for kids.

igl··on Negative focus
Well, we are not driven by wanting something positive either.

A great job?? Can't expect them to do their job? Did you see the outcome of DE-Mail? There is a great presentation about it at ccc-videos.

The CCC is currently not advising but sueing the german government. It has also received 0 media attention since it was announced and i am sure it will just fall flat after being stalled for a few years. GG CCC HF Germany.

igl··on The Internet's Own Boy: The Story of Aaron Swartz [video]
I downloaded the ogg and even mplayer fails to play it without stuttering and even crashing at some frames. I don't think it's the bandwidth.
igl··on OnionShare: securely and anonymously share a file of any size
He made it pretty clear that it's not misleading in terms of compability updates. Apple already dropped support for it. May a comparison with Win XP sooth your fanboy heart? :3
igl··on Where are the Meteor.js users?
In the spreadsheets of the meteor marketing staff :)
igl··on How A Lawsuit Over Hot Coffee Helped Erode the 7th Amendment
I heard of that, but I actually never thought this story is true. What about the drying the cat in the microwave lawsuit?? I'm scared america!
igl··on Are you paid to look busy?
Visual Studio has a browser ;)

Just another ui framework with velocity-like fast animations.
igl··on Do More and `make` Less with GNU Make and Less.js
node_modules/".bin"/lessc works! There are some subtile things like dirnames with dots need to be quoted but quoted forward slashes given to mkdir creates path seperator fuck ups C:\first/meh\second..

Annoying. But I still don't miss grunt :)

igl··on Do More and `make` Less with GNU Make and Less.js
There is gnu-make for windows and unless your is makefile super elaborate, it works.
igl··on Do More and `make` Less with GNU Make and Less.js
I threw out all gulp/grunt fluff from my shelve after learning make and never looked back. Makefiles are way smaller (40 vs 300 lines) and straight forward. It reduced my npm install time from 40s to 10s. Builds may take 2 seconds longer than gulp though.
igl··on Functional Programming in JavaScript is Garbage
yea, i thought it was implied that i talk about JS here.

Iterating with functions is terrible, I think I know that since I understood closures.

I fought the law and law won... just started playing in my head.
igl··on Daniel's review of Flash Boys: A Wall Street Revolt
Alternative to banning HFT? I can't think of any. (To clarify by HFT i do NOT mean algorithmic trading‎ in general)

The stock market is a service to provide equity for real production companies to grow. HFT distorts the real value of a stock. There is also 0 chance of any regulation authority to ever check the amount of paperwork HFT produces.

igl··on Google, once disdainful of lobbying, now a master of Washington influence
A few years later it is often not. But politicians can lie legally even if uncovered and documented in lengths afterwards. Funny fact: German president Horst Köhler had to resign from office for saying the truth.
igl··on Google, once disdainful of lobbying, now a master of Washington influence
1) How do lobbying firms make revenue when they are basicly money sinkholes conveying surveys?

2) I have read too much of those 'drafts' which ended up being the legislation. And how come Google speaks for the whole industry? Are they In a particular need for change? Did the industry vote for them?

3) tay tuk yuu juuuuub

That probably depends on how much you skew your morals.
igl··on Ask HN: Our Kickstarter project is failing
I think very few ppl can relate to this c64-style in 2014. You are making a game, so your audience is very young.

I am 30 and i only remember the SNES RPGs to have left a impression on me. I immediately thought of SOM/zelda when i read the title. ... just my 2 cent. Good luck!
