p3drosola··on DMCA takedown notice database as source of copyrighted media
I just realized DMCA takedown notices are helpfully collected by a third party (Lumen). They have a nice search engine and everything so you'll be sure to find what you're looking for.

Wait, is this ironic?

No, it's just unintentionally hilarious. Damn you Alanis Morrisset. An entire generation misuses that term because of you.

p3drosola··on No more JavaScript frameworks
I agree with some of the points the author makes. Libraries > Frameworks. Don’t create silos, etc.

The problem with this article is that most of the innovations that browsers are now bundling came from the community, in the form of libraries or frameworks. (document.querySelector, js templating, promises, observables, server push, etc)

Libraries & frameworks are the way new paradigms are explored and improved. They are not the future, but they contain the future.

Hey Steve, 8fit cofounder here.

It's really not a matter of whether or not you have a gym membership, it's a matter of the actual exercise you do. You can have a gym membership but if you spend your time doing the wrong things you won't get the results you're after. I myself go to the gym, as well as performing bodyweight exercises. They're clearly different, and we're not suggesting otherwise. However the bodyweight exercises are often more convenient for people with busy schedules, or who travel a lot.

As for the nutritional aspect, we're not inventing anything new, and we don't have any magic formulas. We're just helping people improve their health understanding the effects of the things they eat. It's not a fashionable diet, and it's not rocket science. It's pretty much standard healthy living.

Haha, that's the most insultingly unscientific article I've read in a long time.

The conclusions drawn are a rich work of imagination, when not patently false.

p3drosola··on Interviewing as a Front-End Engineer in San Francisco
I agree completely. At the company I work for, we develop a complex client-side js app. We've got "backenders" who write Ruby, "frontenders" who write CSS + HTML, and "middlenders" who write really fucking awesome javascript.

> I don't think I ever caught myself writing code for my employer and thinking "hey, I really enjoy this"

If you've never really enjoyed your job I can't fathom how it's taken you so long to realise this isn't for you.

p3drosola··on Ask HN: How can a 16 year-old programmer make money writing code?
You can sell plugins and themes in markets.

Yeah, sorry about that. I submitted the actual link to the pdf, but HN turned it into a scribd link.

p3drosola··on What makes something "notable"?
Lol, nice try at a bit of self-promotion there.

This guy obviously doesn't know node. He's comparing node.js to a dedicated webserver, when they are completely different things.

Please, it's just a damn keylogger. Everyone stop overreacting.
