coffeeyesplease··on A Survey of Programmers' Cannabis Usage, Perception, and Motivation
I'm a programmer (cto these days) and a skateboarder (kind of c'os age is not just a a number) and I've always been in awe of people who smoke weed and are able to engage in either activity and yet I do have friends capable of such. This is not a lie :-) I've seen it with my own eyes. What amazes me is how good they are at it. If, by contrast, I did same I would end up hurt or fired :-)
coffeeyesplease··on Morality and Abstract Thinking – How Africans May Differ from Westerners
So this is how Hitler convinced that rest of Germany that it was okay to gas Jews. I guess anything is possible after you dehumanise your subject.
coffeeyesplease··on Show HN: Pknoa – A simple way to keep track of everything
We'll definitely take your suggestion under consideration, but don't you think it's a bit harsh to dismiss the whole application because of it? Give it a try, you might like it :-)
coffeeyesplease··on Show HN: Pknoa – A simple way to keep track of everything
Hi thanks for the feedback. But the application itself would be virtually impossible to use without javascript. Either way thanks for the feedback.
coffeeyesplease··on Show HN: Pknoa – A simple way to keep track of everything
Hi, the developer here.. pknoa! is a very simple way to keep track of everything. It uses natural language processing, to help you store, quantify and organise information.

All you have to do is remember the pknoa! syntax:

unit action time

So, when you type something like:

30min meeting with Peter Smith 15 June 10:30pm

pknoa! breaks it down and quantifies it for you. All your entries, with the same name (in this case, ‘meeting with Peter Smith’), are grouped together, enabling pknoa! to generate amazing statistics. pknoa! also has other cool features, such as tags (allowing the grouping of two or more activities, to create new views) and sharing (allowing invited users to see, in real time, what you are up to).

We hope you enjoy it as much as we do

coffeeyesplease··on Can I put out a cigarette on aluminum MacBooks?
I saw what did there.
coffeeyesplease··on Please don’t bring your parents to work with you
Yeah but first rental its completely different. You are the client. You are paying for something, a second opinion might come handy or maybe your dad is there to help paint the walls afterwards. A job interview its about you, you and you. Who you are and what you can do. I can't believe this is a thing :)

Thank you soo much for "Execution in the Kingdom of Nouns". It 's been a while since I cried laughing. As someone who's been programming in java since 97 (..God I'm old) I certainly saw myself wandering around the Kingdom of Nouns

coffeeyesplease··on Why JavaScript Is Doomed
Here's the thing I find about people that say JavaScript is doomed. Most of them never actually bothered to learn JavaScript. I run a shop with about 10 programmers and because, most of the time, we work in small projects for a multitude of clients we all master in different programming languages/frameworks. I’ve seen Perl written in JavaScript, Java written in JavaScript, C written in JavaScript. Mind you, I've hacked in JavaScript for years before actually I started learning it in depth. My C#/Java programmers spend most of their time whining about how JavaScript should have namespaces, how inheritance this and why closures that. Just because JavaScript has a low entry point doesn't mean you shouldn't invest time learning it. I seriously believe that if we invested a 1/4 of the time in JavaScript as we do with our favorite languages I’m pretty sure we would be seeing a (hell) lot less of these articles.
coffeeyesplease··on Is this what it’s supposed to feel like?
My thoughts exactly.
