I haven't met too many people who share this condition. Nice to meet you.

Where? Even thick ones are super expensive here. Over $250 a lens. I'd gladly pay $75 more for a significantly thinner lens. Point me in the right direction please.

Hey, author here. Thanks so much for the kind words! I love Hugo, and I wanted to give people a real-world tour of how to build something concrete with it.

I think you're missing my point. I have tons of MIT code out there, including a node.js project used by lots of companies. I don't care about people using my code for money because…

Hi HN. Didn't really expect to see this tweet make it here of all places. But that's cool.

Hi! I work on the "Write for DOnations" program at DigitalOcean and I want to thank you for your kind words. Your comment put a huge smile on our faces when we saw it. Glad to hear…

in office or not, managers and teams should be monitoring contributions Your version control system and ticketing system should be able to identify things like this. If not, then n…

One thing that always gets lost is this: Some humans do not think on their feet. They often need time to digest thoughts and new ideas. If you start observing this behavior, you wi…

I saw them at least 3 times in the early 1980s in Wisconsin, but never since. I had an uncle who was very much into stargazing, so we'd often go out in the middle of the night to s…

Sure, a live coding talk without preparation is gonna get people to check out. But honestly, if you throw up 45 minutes of slides you're gonna put an audience to sleep too. Accordi…

But it is an issue because it's tax dollars, and people don't like paying taxes.

Hi! I'm a member of the Community team at DigitalOcean. I wanted to thank you for your kind words about our tutorials. This kind of feedback means a lot to us. We're glad we could …

They are also great in demonstrating knowledge in a new field. For example, if you do C# at your day job but you want to move into Go. Showcasing side projects can demonstrate some…

IRC is an open protocol. Messages like what you see can be hidden by the client or suppressed by the server. And free intermediary servers can keep logs. It's amazing to me how peo…

Disagree about barrier to entry. I run an office hours chat for my online classes powered by IRC. I use KiwiIRC as the front-end. Students need only the web address of the web page…

This has been my experience on the last two small things I built. I just reached for the jquery (or even just regular JS) because I didn't need that much. Isn't it cool to have cho…

Front-end stuff doesn't have to be complex, but it is. For example, a lot of places using React think they need Redux too. And React-router. And many other components. React itself…

You might want to look at vimwiki if you haven't already. https://github.com/vimwiki/vimwiki

Because you can use this plugin for more than just emails. I've used this in a lot of backend systems that support rich-text interfaces but don[t support markdown.

Oh wow. Thanks for those. I completely forgot those were things.

That's her side of the story. Which I'm not saying is wrong. But, again, it's awful hard to advise people who don't have any direction. I also didn't notice if she went full time o…

I wholeheartedly agree.

From the article: > Like many students, she took classes she didn’t need, partly due to poor advising and partly because she was feeling her way toward a major. I taught at a commu…

Folks, the touchbar is 1000x more useful if you have a BetterTouchTool license. I have mine customized completely, with app-specific shortcuts. It's amazing. Without BTT, the touch…
