I love where JS is heading, but perhaps its worth pointing out its a lot easier to rapidly advance a language that historically has been missing huge features.

Hmm, I think it's not relevant because those constraints apply on the cell level, and Tesla battery packs are just thousands of small cells.

Well I suppose it depends if you leave x% of cells unused (prolonging their life, and ready to swap in when other cells lose capacity, much like SSDs do) or distribute across all cells, lowering the charging level X%. Either way I suspect you're hitting the "full cycle" that diminishes the cells life, so probably better to use the former strategy, leaving you with some healthy cells in the future.

Curious to hear if someone suspects otherwise though.

In addition to the other commenters phone rebuttal, for only £3 you can buy a fob that seems to work much like an oyster card for the bike system. I can't say I've tried them yet, but if it allows auto-top up like oyster, seems more convenient than even a smartphone app!

Apollo supports batching queries at the transport layer. graphql-ruby and I'm sure other graphql servers support this out of the box, which means with about ~10 LOC changed you can have your cake (separate queries for independent update) and eat it (combined into one initial call).

To be fair, a good portion of that (£100?) is likely to be from the £ losing value against the $

Maybe your dad was just a generous guy ;)

Perhaps a stupid question, but, assuming this attack has NOT been performed, do consumer electronics processors slow down in any measurable way within the lifetime of the device? Anecdotally I often have friends complain their computers get slower over time, and I've always written it off as OS level issues, fragmentation etc.

Now I'm wondering if a PC could actually become slower from logic gate failures. No, no. Thats dumb, right?

They've parted ways from your described UI quite a few weeks ago on my PC anyway. Still using a carousel but at least its fully paginated now (click > new page, no slow scroll).

The performance is abysmal though, lots of CSS3 hover transitions that seem to slow things to a crawl on scroll

A majority of users? Please, Reddit has ~16M unique users per month. I really don't think 8M people hate Ellen Pao. Hell, I doubt more than 0.1M users know who she is.

There's no denying this is the biggest (and frankly hilarious to watch unfold) shitstorm in Reddit's history, but it is a vocal minority. There were only 5k subscribers to /r/fatpeoplehate. It was a silly move to ban it, because its clearly pissed off more than 5k people, but make no mistake, most of Reddit doesn't care.

Maybe not terribly useful for real world programming (while there is a one file limit), but for interview coding sessions it seems brilliant to me. Great work!

Well he doesn't need to, by his own proclamation there's no arguing! /s

Its not intercepting Cmnd+Click (mac)

You also won't be able to use most of the internet in 2014, so this point seems moot.

[citation needed]. I can't find any information to verify this.

Glad to hear OS X has official support. I jumped into Docker for the first time last week and have a burning unresolved question for those using boot2docker.

What is your development workflow? I am working on a Rails app, so my instinct is to have a shared folder between OS X and boot2docker, but afaik this is not supported as boot2docker doesn't support VirtualBox guest extensions.

DigitalOcean will love this haha

Presumably you could use the GPS for altitude detection?

The remote one is for production, not development. (Well, thats how I'm using them anyway).

In my workflow I have two boxes in my Vagrant profile, one for development (local VBox VM) and one for production (DO droplet). Using Chef for provisioning, I can configure and test provisioning locally, then roll it out in production with minimal effort.

Its a really nice workflow! Although all this Docker business lately looks like it might make for an even better one.

You've adopted Betteridge's law of headlines: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge's_law_of_headlines

This only goes to show how influenced I am by brands; as soon as I clicked the link my reaction was "this isn't google, what's the point in reading this!" and went back...

We've just rolled out facebook free registration. It might break the intro a little as it's very tailored to facebook but you should have no trouble registering now.

Thanks!

What a wildly unhelpful and rude comment.

Thanks! We elected to use facebook because the user experience is fairly horrid without some initial suggestions, which facebook makes easy through liked artists. The backend for facebook free registration is there though, so if it's that important we can turn it on.

I'll speak with the designer and see if we can get Facebook free registration rolled out. Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate it a lot.

I'm pretty new to HN so I don't know if this bugs me as much as others... But please don't put footer content on a page with infinite scrolling! It's very frustrating, especially as all your pages seem to be infinite scrolling types!

Indeed, Rails is pretty new to me and even I know how to use do this!
