Strongly agree. Sports as a team activity, a friendly space to be physically active and competitive (with varying degrees of physical injury risk depending on the sport), are fantastic. I was a three-sport athlete in high school and conside

Kudos to Datadog. I'm not a current customer, but when I took it for a trial run several months ago I found it to be visually appealing, reliable, and intuitive. It didn't have some of the advanced features that you would get with

I'm about as far from a handyman as you can get, but I did manage to make one of these myself. The legs are only about 2" tall, but it sits snug with less than 1/8" wiggle room. While I don't use mine for bringing t

I'm a Rice University alumnus (Hanszen '07), and your sentiment definitely resonates with me. When I took my first programming job, I had two offers come in at the same time: one to stay in Houston and write Java code for pipeline

Destructuring assignment in CoffeeScript helps with this (not globals, I suppose, but well-scoped locals): { use, pipe, get, eq } = R propEq = use(pipe).over(get, eq)

Congrats on what seems like a very warm reception on HN! Can you provide a little more clarity on what the Photon Kit listed in the store consists of? The short description says "several sensors" and the description in the modal i

I'm also curious about the algorithm, since a search for "google" results in a palette that only features one color out of the company's primary-plus-green motif. Seems like backgrounds (white in the case of Google, blac

Seems like a well-reasoned set of opinions at first blush. I'll have to give it more time to sink in for the most part, but the one bit that elicited immediate disagreement from me was the particular illustration of predictive behavior

Although not stated in the OP here, they're apparently considering REMOTE for the right candidate (according to the Bamboo posting).

Especially with the number of services that offer zero-cost plans at low usage levels! You can rarely even make a fiscal argument for keeping this kind of stuff in-house, much less a skills argument.

This is a great reminder for me to follow through on making the recipe for chocolate blood ice cream from Jennifer Lagan's book Odd Bits[0]. I already checked with a local butcher and got the details about sourcing blood from their par

Can anyone speak to the trade-off in file size, for non-trivial codebases? There is a stated design goal of "small size of generated code", but the default snippet in the playground introduces quite a large amount of boilerplate.

I'm far less familiar with DotA in this regard (and other regards) but I'll hazard a guess. My not-at-all-certain observations are that 1) DotA's jungle is more complex and perhaps a bit larger and 2) DotA's terrain beha

I no longer play, but I still watch the pro teams from time to time. One of the things that has impressed me the most about Riot's approach has been their willingness to make dramatic modifications to core game mechanics in an effort t
