Sounds like Netta was doing due diligence on the relationship.

And yet the reality is that there is no shortage of free pianos listed on my local Craigslist that no one has picked up yet.

Drake is nice for these kinds of data dependencies. https://github.com/Factual/drake

I play both guitar and pedal steel. The tapping techniques that would be used on a horizontal 6-string guitar would be impractical on a steel guitar (lap or pedal) because the acti…

It's odd to me that the proposed Minimal Skeleton for tracking a bug doesn't include: * who reported the issue * what they reported happening * what they expected to happen instead…

neat! thanks

An example of what I'm thinking about, which I don't think Darcs can do (I'd love to be wrong): Alice and Bob both branch off of master at the same point. In Alice's branch, she mo…

I'm unfamiliar with Darcs, but thanks for calling it to my attention. Based on a quick look, it appears Darcs uses text diffs, so it's not quite what I'm talking about, but it's de…

I came here to post something similar. I'll add that many of the hard things we do with Git seem to do with re-ordering or re-combining of the underlying changes. If we want to mak…

This article is from 2015, and as a result, that is the last reported year. I found a more up-to-date data set at http://federal-budget.insidegov.com/ which is consistent with the …

I think one of the big problems with cities is how static their layouts can be. Many years from now, I like to imagine that cities will be made of movable parts that can be rearran…

Looks like Ruby. Why use a Hash instead of the built-in Set class?

The motive for running the farm is because some people will pay for the likes. The motive for someone running a farm to also send likes to non-customer pages is to make it harder f…

Belkin's Wemo[1] line does pretty much what you're suggesting. I've got a few of their units, and I've been pretty happy with them. [1] http://www.belkin.com/wemo/

I think there are two distinct use-cases for posting to HN, and I think the OP's pain can be partially connected to the fact that both types of posts get treated identically. The f…

The post was entirely about flaws in its parent post's reasoning. The flaws were correctly identified. What does this have to do with your assumptions about the author's perspectiv…

Purchased this to check it out, since I couldn't figure out how to use the vouchers. Thanks for posting this example. It's pretty responsive... not sure if I would have known it wa…

I would love it if the OP would chime in here, so we could see what the RubyMotion folks are missing.

Could someone please recommend any PhoneGap-based apps that they consider "best-of-breed?"
