It looks like they intend everything to be in the webroot, which is a problem in and of itself. Setting everything in the uploads folder to be executable without any .htaccess directives to prevent that seems like a potential issue. If they're not validating images (properly) or sandboxing uploads, or thinking about mitigating directory traversal attacks, then there could be issues with remote code execution.
I felt that kind of frustation when I tried for the first time almost every library/programming language that I'd worked with, either with java, backbone, coldfusion, rails...
Trying and researching things is always part of the process, we can't run away from that.
It's far easier to start from a basic working shell that you can tweak than it is to build something from zero. Plenty of environments manage to pull off that basic working shell just fine. If you make a new app project in Xcode, the result builds and runs out of the box. If you make a new Android app project, the result builds and runs out of the box. I can try out Python code immediately after typing "python" at the command line.
Programming is inherently hard, but there's still a vast gulf between necessary and unnecessary difficulty. The problems here are solidly in the "unnecessary" category.
Nobody is saying that it is. OP's title was directly in response to the ember.js homepage (where it says "GETTING STARTED WITH EMBER.JS IS EASY."). S/he encountered some (pretty understandable) frustration and pointed out a few major shortfalls in ember's documentation, before asking for assistance; that's not at all running away from "the process".
Waving away legitimate (non-trolling) complaints in a dismissive way is pretty condescending, and not at all helpful to the main issue.
Yes, I meant that when I start to learn thing like java and rails, everybody said that these product were easier than "x", but I didn't find them that way.
function sumToOne() {
var acum = 0,
count = 0;
do {
count++;
acum += Math.random();
} while (acum <= 1)
return count;
}
var avg = 0,
nTimes = 10000;
for (var x = 0; x < nTimes; x++) {
avg += sumToOne();
}
console.log(avg / nTimes);
If a version of hexagonal targeted java then it would be "hexagonal.java". But .coffee and .js target the same "binary" so .js is the correct designation. It's about the runtime not the language.
Ok, I know HTML is not the most important thing on the site, but that kind of thoughts only leads to procrastination, because there will always be issues on other stuffs like databases and security, but it would be nice to HN pays a little of atention to this kind of stuff.
Who cares if the html is crufty as long as it works. I use table layouts quite often, and if you look at the source of stackoverflow they use tables too.
What I would like to see are a few functionality tweaks to make HN more useful. The main ones that come to mind are: increasing the timeout before you get an 'unknown or expired link' and optionally emailing you when someone replies to one of your comments.
