> Kill Firefox before they could kill HTML Imports I’m not sure I understand the hostility here. Isn’t the point of the web to be open standards that reach consensus?

Box can do it with https://github.com/cdgriffith/Box/wiki/Types-of-Boxes#defaul...

This seems similar to the functionality exposed by Box. https://github.com/cdgriffith/Box/wiki/Types-of-Boxes#defaul...

The author gives some fd comparisons in their benchmarks.

I tried bowling like this when I was a teen, trying to get massive spin on the ball. I never got to a point where I could be consistent with spin and went back to using my thumb. S…

Why not let the market sort it out? Maybe these startups need to take a down round, or be acquired for a fraction of their value? Maybe the VCs should step in and make bridge loans…

I believe the worst thing you can be is a hypocrite. We can disagree about value systems, but if you don’t practice what you preach then I have no reason to respect you. I don’t ca…

The lack of empathy in the comments here is worrisome. The manager was clearly failing to manage effectively. Blaming the engineer for not managing up with a manager who didn’t wan…

My theory is that there’s already a lot of existing content using $ and $$ that GitHub wants to start rendering without requiring any changes. I agree the code block approach would…

No. This is a very simple and reasonably efficient image format. It is notable for its simplicity and straightforward implementation, as well as its speed compared with png.

While this is nice in a lot of ways, it also can make it harder for your callers to use more dynamic patterns. You can no longer call it with process_data(**kwargs) and have the da…

Some alternatives I’ve found: - https://github.com/Code52/carnac - https://github.com/Jagailo/YetAnotherKeyDisplayer - https://github.com/KaustubhPatange/Kling

I was expecting to see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimi_Heselden on here, but he didn’t invent the Segway, just owned the company.

A performance of this: https://youtu.be/7tScAyNaRdQ

The reason my team uses Fibonacci is that it cuts down on the “is this a 3, 4, 5, or 6 point ticket?” discussion. Each larger value should have more uncertainty, so there isn’t any…

The src directory is becoming a popular option. See https://blog.ionelmc.ro/2014/05/25/python-packaging/#the-str... for an enumeration of the reasons. Another resource might be htt…

One of the problems with that is it makes account recovery after a compromise that much harder. If an attacker manages to prevent you from seeing those notifications (compromised e…

I’d love to learn more about what you were looking for and how Knewton might better meet those needs, even if Knewton ultimately wouldn’t be a product you’d use.

Take a look at Knewton Alta[1] as an alternative to MyMathLab. It uses OER content and is aimed at being very affordable - $44 for 2 year access or $9.95 a month (cancel anytime, w…

Don’t forget that the 12.4% is capped at about $130k of income. Social security would be able to offer much more than just poverty line benefits by removing the cap.

As far as I know, net neutrality only applies to wired ISPs, not mobile ISPs. So those sorts of deals are still possible in the US, just not from your cable company. And why would …

Be careful when thinking about performance. It’s true Python isn’t as “fast” in CPU heavy microbenchmarks, but there are lots of real world trade offs to be made here. If you truly…

How would this compare with something like vert.x? http://vertx.io

Each time I read a post like this I say to myself “they’re not wrong, but something is also missing.” If there was a way to evaluate a candidate based on how well they would do at …
