    Hear, hear. The packaging enticed my GF, so she bought a couple to try. I wanted to like it because I liked premise of showing the ingredients right in the front. But boy oh boy wa…

    If you're on a Mac, I highly recommend Quiver - "The Programmer's Notebook" ( http://happenapps.com ) No affiliation, just like and use it :)

    The part about the rockets is off. SpaceX is based in Hawthorne, CA, which is in the Los Angeles area. LA has a high density of aerospace engineers, which is one of the reasons Mus…

    I would like to be a fly on the wall during the meeting where they decided to add the "carpet." Maybe they are trying to protect our hands from the cold metal, or mitigate the dama…

    I assume you would be doing things in VMs, right!? So what cross-OS issues?

    I don't think most people doubt the utility of Github, but this writing seems to be from a person living in a bubble. Most people don't get the time and resources to work on open s…

    Thanks for those links. I never knew the person behind Fuzzy Sets, a topic highly relevant to the HN crowd. Lotfi Zadeh is one of the giants we stand on.

    Vue is definitely much more approachable. I did not have this experience when using Angular not long ago. To each their own, but I find the Vue API small and simple enough for me t…

    The FF keynote was one of the worst I have ever seen. They barely even showed the car. They over-hyped and did not deliver on that hype.

    If FitBit wants current Pebble users to be their future customers, they should definitely consider not making current Pebble devices useless. I understand this is not a trivial tas…
