Happens to all of us.

No, the one I saw had little to no code.

> to avoid a slow, painful, inevitable death in a hostile world surrounded by misery. Well aren't you a bundle of joy, recommending death to people in bad situations. A life of misery isn't all that bad. Much worse could happen

Not true, I also have a nice cigar waiting for the rain to go away.

Well I sure do feel different than a fire ant.

Have any of you ever thought to yourself, this is new and interesting, and then vaguely remembered that you spent months or years becoming an expert at it earlier in life but entirely forgot it? And in fact large chunks of the very interest

Fallen human nature and all its corrupt motives accounts for that. The most obvious being that a good number of religious leaders have no interest in truth and are fine with causing division as long as it profits them.

You seem to use eager evaluation of usability whereas in practice most people only need lazy evaluation. We use risk assessment of going from point A to point B, two concrete points. You seem to use risk assessment equivalent to JavaScript&

I'd guess it was because 0 init is desired often enough that this is a convenient implicit default?

I've been struggling with choosing a model to make enough to keep the lights on with my upcoming project. Has freemium actually gotten enough paid users for you?

My only plan is to announce my project to HN and reddit when it's done (hopefully this week or next!) and hope for the best. I figure that if it's as exciting as I think it is, then it will organically spread by word of mouth, eve

Yeah, HN is an excitement factory. I come here when I want to talk about something I'm excited about, or read people talking about what they're excited about.

Why am I not surprised Shopify uses Rails.

Never heard of Jank until now, very interesting. One of my lifelong dreams was to make my own language that compiles to assembly and is actually useful, even if only for small projects. Everyone seems to be doing that successfully lately wi

I wonder why "best show ever made" always has contenders made in the last 30 years. You Bet Your Life with Groucho Marx was such a fascinating show, and had some of the most intriguing, raw conversations with ordinary people,

Of all shows I might dare concede to, Chuck is not in the top 50.

I don't know, I was hoping someone would tell me!

It's not about excess. Look at some of the most famous success stories in comedy, art, music, theatre, film, etc. A good number of them did their best work when they were poor . "Community" is a great example. Best show ever

That's the point of preloads. You don't need to choose. As soon as the HTML is loaded, the font is ready. You see the HTML immediately (about 10-20ms) with the web font. Win win.

That was one of the most interesting reads I've read in a while, thanks.

It depends on the size of the (sub)system, the inherent complexity of any version vs incidental complexity of the initial version, and the time given for a rewrite.

As a user of websites, I definitely notice when a website uses web fonts and relies on font-display. Preloading them is the only way to avoid jarring changes to the layout. Even if the changes are relatively small, they're very jarring
