on: Ask HN: Is there anyway to track analytics of an image?
If you have a backend routing your image request, it's as simple as counting the request and save the count somewhere, along with meta info for that specific image.

spam is bad, advertising is necessary to spread "product", just like how newspaper is necessary to spread news

on: Justin Gordon Using React on Rails
neat insight! A friend of mine convinced me to try React, though I can't say that I'm sticking with it. Besides the mix syntax, my take was it's just another way of building the UI.
My breaking point was when it breaks all my jshint and jscs grunt tasks :) So now I'm migrating to use RactiveJS instead (same virtual DOM diff) with the addition of Mustache as a full template engine, which is what we actually need :)

on: It's Time You Got Familiar with Code – Doesn't Matter Who You Are
Dead wrong. All these tools require a very different way of abstract thinking away from the usual "press this button, machine will do this", and learning how to code (one way) will trigger the right part of your brain to help using these tools more efficiently.
There are many types of coders. If you're doing hardcore statistic and magic on your screen, it doesnt mean building a simple website and/or implemente a tracking call to GA (in case of a growth hacker) is any less important.

I have to disagree. Both statistics and economics requires understanding of Math, which lives on the same side of the brain that's needed for understanding logic, thus coding falls into the same bucket. Though I suspect you're refering to "understand coding" as "understand complex algorithm". In which case, I agree because there are many type of coder, and some of which doesnt neccessarily needs to "understand and/or write complex algorithm".

on: Ask HN: Where can I move cheaply to work by myself for a year?
I highly recommend Saigon, Vietnam :) It meets all of your requirements, and close enough to other Asian countries to travel if needed.

Had this happened to me a while back. They don't completely "delete" your stuff, just disable access to it. After contact support and the admin of the account, everything is sugar again.

on: Easel: Design without a Designer
A designer's job is not about using tools to make things look good. A designer job is to make decision about how things work together. And because of that, this post title pissed me off. If you're talking about a visual tool, talk about the tool, don't say you can design without designer.

on: Why ‘Ok’ Buttons in Dialog Boxes Work Best on the Right
+1 and yet, most arguments will end up toward the direction of "platforms consistency," especially on Facebook-related application since they have it "OK" | "Cancel" order.
