Love this! Looks nice (I can't design it), works smoothly. Kudos on you for building something simple and just getting it out there. Universe knows, there are many bells and whistl…

Felt (still am, actually) this problem too. Started with the same approach (Vanilla Emacs) a few years back in order to really learn the ins-and-outs after giving DOOM and others a…

Trying to expand my understanding of what tools/processes teams use to get things done efficiently. Especially the ones managing technically complex scopes. I've been with teams th…

Nice! All the best to y'all. I can already see y'all killing it in YC BTW so pls apply. DISCLAIMER: I'm not an investor, so what do I know. Just a fanboy atm!

Oh snap, when you sign up you get a learning track. This kicks DuoLingos ass. Like practical stuff (conversational aids) right away instead of useless practice sentences like "the …

This is so dope. Wanted something like this for a while. Was about to ask about tips for folks trying to ease into a base-line language level and then started fiddling with the Tra…

I share the pain of musing over license options. From a pure business perspective, I feel like there are more data points out there that have won (as in, "survived") by shipping pr…

I find it inspiring to see how a interpreter that outlives me has such passionate and skilled contributors keeping it alive or rather, rejuvenating it with new life. Also impressed…

I feel you there. Sticking around long-term may also not be sustainable for everyone. It takes a lot of energy (to wade through the ups-and-downs) as even running a co in a "profit…

BTW. I resolved the anchor issue. Was so fixated on longer-horizon points that I didn't even register how much of a quick win it would be to drop the anchors and thus keep some "gu…

Thanks for the input. I feel your pain about the "project drawer" problem. Have too many pet-projects myself that don't ever see the light of day because they are too (s)crappy and…

My hatred for Confluence, Notion et al. has motivated me to explore prototyping a seedling for a collaboration tool that is plaintext-friendly, built on top of Org and is still fri…

I use Latin quite frequently to infer the meaning of words in a number of languages including but not limited to English, French, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese. Quite oddly, I'm …

The moment we manage to cover the "education gives us control over our impulses" part for a majority of the population, democracy would truly work to our benefit. Although some may…

I continually study more sources to improve my competence as a software developer. I have seen too many blunders as elementary as divisions by zero in code and understand that a de…

> Internet is a great leveller I hope that the increased connectivity of our world will have a profound impact on the legal constructs utilised by parties to secure earnings. As yo…

Netflix seems to spend a fortune in encoding and distributing this type of content. I think that distribution may not always be as simple of a problem and should not be marginalise…

I will have to leave too if Netflix succeeds in blocking such services. Between The Netherlands and Germany (two neighbouring countries) the offering of shows is significantly diff…

If licensing deals are time bound, Netflix would have to renew them periodically, thereby granting publishers the opportunity to renegotiate terms. They can't screw themselves in t…

Absolutely! I've just started looking into functional languages and am discovering a world of patterns that are ubiquitous within the paradigm. I have only experienced conses in Er…
