bahador··on Show HN: EnnoDB, a simple NoSQL database
Define "full-stack".
bahador··on I'm a liberal professor, and my liberal students terrify me

  But what do you expect when the student is the "customer".
True. Universities have turned into an industry. The university industrial complex. I've always lived near large UC and CSU school, and one thing I've noticed is that they're always under construction. Always! All that expansion costs money, and a lot of it. I've also noticed how the heads of the universities (chancellors?) are more akin to CEOs rather than being an academic leader or champion of sorts (not that I know anything about what the head of a university should or should not be).

Please let's all agree that scroll-jacking must die.
bahador··on Ask HN: What craft do you like working on?
It depends on your definition of "craft" but I ride the piss out of motorcycles, and as a consequence, rebuild them as well. And when I say rebuild, I mean ripping the engine out, tearing it down to every nut and bolt, and rebuilding it from the crankshaft up. The skills I've learned while working on my bikes (patience comes to mind) help me in other parts of my life as well, including programming.

bahador··on Ask HN: What makes a good hackathon?
I've noticed two things that have ruined hackathons for me:

- People that say they have skill in XYZ, when in fact they have little to no experience in XYZ. It would be nice if I could have some reasonable confidence in a stranger's ability to be experienced in a skill they claim to have.

- "Entrepreneurs" interested in getting free dev labor for their unicorn app idea. I sign up for a hackathon to have some fun and write some code with hopefully cool people, usually for some cool or good cause. I don't come there to make a beta for some greedy MBA student.

great success!
bahador··on Ask HN: How would you rebuild the browser today?
a single web specification that browsers would be forced to adopt in order to prevent fragmentation. html and javascript may be different technologies, but as react has taught us, are of the same concern. so merging them closer together would be good (web components is a step in the right direction). throw in css in there too because it's currently a joke. it should have consistent behavior across varying divs, regardless of usage.

post script: javascript should be type safe and support interfaces/abstract classes.

bahador··on Instagram certificate has expired

  And they're back: http://imgur.com/rWN7BmA, with 167 days left on their new cert, which still has a SHA1 signature. Their ELB also allows RC4.
I'm not a security expert, but from what I understand from HN threads that I've been reading recently, that doesn't sound good.

This seems pretty cool to me, but I can't think of any use cases. Can you give an example of any? tia.
bahador··on Ask HN: GWT vs React?
Unless I'm mistaken, they're not really comparable. GWT is an entire framework (Java front and back), as opposed to React being a component rendering library (the V in MVC). It would be more accurate to compare GWT to Node, or React to Polymer.
