    I'm sorry your comment has gotten the response it has. The looming dark cloud of stable vs. nightly only looks like a dark cloud to those outside the Rust community. The article th…

    He makes no mention of how much money he saved by buying last year's model. I am seriously on the edge of buying a 2016 15" MBP, but with many reservations. I would definitely cons…

    You're pitching it to potential customers entirely the wrong way. Most consumers of web content (>99%) don't care about this in any way. I mean, to be perfectly honest, I'm only mi…

    Ask HN: What's the best documentation you've ever read (or written)?

    I've been thinking a lot about documentation and how to get a user up to speed on a code base as quickly and effortlessly (on the part of the user) as possible. I know "best" can b…
