Killswitch

I'm curious as to what sites you visit that cause such a reaction.

I too use adblock, but I use it in blacklist mode by default. I only ever add a site that I feel is very intrusive (funny enough it's usually mainstream news sites that are) And as of writing this comment, 24,893 different pieces of content which makes up 0% of all that I've viewed (according to uBlock Origin)

I rarely ever have any issues with ads on sites unless I visit some pretty horrific sites, and trust me, I've visited some horrific sites. I come from the adult industry, an industry whom's advertisements are so bad that they actively attempt to make their ads look like content, so that you click them. Then realize it's not the content, close the window, click next. Repeat.

I don't know man, I visit sometimes hundreds of sites a day, if I had to pay even $1/day to visit a site, I'd be paying hundreds of dollars a day. I'd rather view an ad. I already pay out the ass for internet. I don't need to pay to view content on the internet too.

Facebook also has 968 Million daily active users.

I just don't understand PHP bashers always using Facebook as a metric to bash PHP. "Oh PHP is so horrible, the second (sometimes even first ranked) most visited site on the internet had to write their own PHP-to-C++ transpiler to handle the load. Clearly PHP isn't a good choice for my 3 user site! I need that performance!"

Get over yourselves already. Every language has it's strengths and weaknesses.

> they don't know better. Don't forget what the base of most Wordpress and Drupal setups is

Considering the audience of HN, I am astounded by the amount of people who complain about a PHP package being on Composer, yet they all use NodeJS, Go, and other things that require more than modern PHP and Composer does.

$5/mo shared hosting plan where you're walled and can't do anything you want, or $5/mo VPS at Digital Ocean where you have SSH enabled by default and can install anything you want.

of course, people don't have the bucks to shell out for that. I get it.

I have taken to this route. It also clears out the cruft to bring dependency directory size down. Your module doesn't need .editorconfig or README.md and other stuff to run, remove it from the published stuff.

> It baffles me that automatically update your dependencies is considering the right thing to do.

The idea is to rely on semver. If you do ~1.3.4 in your dependency then if that dependency follows semver properly, you'll get 1.3.5 if it's out, and your stuff will still work, but you're getting bug fixes and patches without having to keep an eye on the sometimes hundreds of dependencies. Luckily tools like greenkeeper.io are around now.

The drawback is many people don't follow semver, so I opt to appending --save-exact to all npm installs (actually have npm config set save-exact true)

Love me some non-semicolon JavaScript.

That defeats the whole purpose of fat arrow functions.

Because at a glance, it's easier to see the path of the file as an identifier than the name of the function. Function names are not unique throughout the codebase and dependencies. Lots of dependencies have the same named functions.

When I commented `your` was not part of that comment.

Both tools are made by the same user.

Exactly, when I was living in Chicago, I had drivers who were literally worth 2-3x what I paid for my trip all because of driving nice CLEAN cars, treating me literally like royalty and many other things.

Taxi's I've taken didn't care about anything and I'd sometimes step in some fluid I'd assume was puke from a previous fare and they had no care outside of giving me dirty looks because I only gave a $2 tip on a $10 fare.

I like the site, is that a custom bootstrap theme or a modified one?

Hack is derived from PHP, they've only tuned the engine for their own usecase, and not to mention anyone in the PHP community can use Hack.

Hack is basically the TypeScript of PHP. Regular PHP works fine on Hack, but you can start incorporating Hack things into your PHP.

If you want to go that route, then my site is actually powered by Babel and not JavaScript.

I find myself scrolling just to see if I can get at the horribly placed links and text at the bottom of the page, before the next batch loads in.

You do realize that the number 2 ranked website on the internet runs on PHP.

Get over your elitest attitude. PHP is a fine language and has it's warrants of use.

Speaking of, 2 days ago marked a year since I last used PHP.

30 years old, I never went to college, actually I almost failed high school. I wanted to go to college to become a chef, but my fun activity on the side started making money, so I pursued that instead (more because Le Cordon Bleu took 3 years to respond to my request information)

I bounced around doing web development and running my own sites for the first 10 years of my career. Then I joined a startup in Chicago, and with the fallout of working there, I went on a 4 month hiatus of doing only whatever I wanted for myself, before being hired by where I work now, building a startup.

edit:// actually I don't consider what I am building now a startup. I don't like the stigmata associated to the term startup. I'm building a company.

Yeah I was looking at kind of making a heroku setup on my servers sorta like Dokku, but I'm not a real big fan of Dokku. And I wanted to use CoreOS and Docker, but I realized that I can't just include all possible programming languages into a container to be built. So I've opted out of that and just build custom containers based on the app I am deploying.

What's your feelings about cedar stack being over 1.5GB in size after building a docker image?

I came across your guys' stuff about a month ago and was intrigued by the cedar stack of heroku being dockerized and started playing with it.

Immediately stopped when my simple hello world node app was 1.5GB in size.

I use GitHub issues and labels. Every issue starts out with a backlog label, when I pull it off the backlog, I assign it to a team member, add in-progress label, and the assigned member will go through it and apply an estimate label saying how long they think it'll take to do. When they're finished, they'll submit a pull request mentioning the issue, and apply a spent label signifying how long it actually took them.

All issues also get scope and type labels. Type signifying bug, feature, hotfix, etc. Scope saying what piece of the software it's for.

We also use milestones for releases. Each release gets a codename, and that codename is used for the milestone and all backlog and in-progress issues are applied to the release it's meant for.

Right now there's no UI for anything, but we're building internal tools that create a visual of this whole system for us.

dang, dang at our service. dang.

I had Comcast when I lived in Chicago. They basically run that city. You can't get any decent internet anywhere else. All the other providers for some reason in the city, didn't cover any neighborhood I was in.

The biggest thing I liked, moving back to Iowa was decent internet provider.

Eh, 1 character or 1,000 lines of code, contributions are contributions and should be acknowledged.

@mdo said they're slowly rolling it out, and when it's available then you'll be prompted on the repo you own.

Says it's opt in for the next two weeks, but I'm not seeing how to opt in.

Sorry if this sounds bad, but without having to read the article, what exactly does the bar signify?

I just could never get into the Pebble's look. Knowing I can get a classic watch and turn it into the things I'd use an Apple Watch for is pretty appealing to me.

I use Standard and love it. Every project I build gets standard as a devDependency in my package.json and I use linter and linter-js-standard plugins for Atom to automatically detect it and lint my project as I write it.

Then have some hooks in place that will run code through standard again in a pre-commit hook, and then PR's on GitHub are also ran through standard.

This interests me. I originally wanted to get a Apple Watch but I am not a fan of their overall look. I like traditional watches.
