What Hacker News says?
> For a while you'd think Ruby was going to over take PHP for web dev but it eventually converge to a steady state the growth rate isn't increasing at all. Rails downloads almost doubled from 2015 to 2016 (15M -> 24M). Not sure where you see that the "growth rate isn't increasing at all".

It's one of the most blatant examples of plagiarism I've ever seen. It's arguably worse than simple wholesale lifting of css, since they've carefully and deliberately redrawn distinctive design elements, and lifted half the copy as well And this is a me…

HN discussionI wonder if you're design blind? I've met a few people like that before. If that's all you think there is to a design, the 'standard' layout, you've missed a lot. Are you seriously going to tell me you can't see the similarity between: http://www.infinum.co/services http://kintek.com.au/services/ That most websites don't have that curve, or the spacing on the left/right or the little bar above the menu rather than b…

HN discussion- The scrolling animations on the header are exactly the same. - The curved/depressed backgrounds behind the hero image (fairly unique) are the same shape and style. - Page sizing is the same. - Color scheme is the same, with blue swapped out for red. These are just from glancing quickly between the two sites. Combined with the overall similarity, the fact that the scrolling animation is exactly the same is the most…

HN discussionObjective-C is what makes developping applications on iOS so much more efficient than on Android; even if only indirectly, thru the frameworks provided: if Android cannot provide frameworks usable more efficiently than Apple, it's because they're using Java instead of Objective-C. https://infinum.co/the-capsized-eight/articles/android-devel...

HN discussionI used lint for C some 20 or 25 years ago, then moved to using dynamical languages (Perl, Ruby, JS.) Not much use of static analysis tools for those languages I thought (but for example check https://www.infinum.co/the-capsized-eight/articles/top-8-too... ). I used Java sometimes and took advantage of Netbeans/Eclipse's hints about Java code but I use emacs for everything else (some vim too). I used jslint on a Java…
