Not exactly tech/programming channels, but really good brain snack food... https://www.youtube.com/user/Vsauce --- IMHO the best youtube channel in existence. Every video is a rabbit hole of interesting questions

I had not heard of Betteridge's Law, so I had to look it up [0]. Given I only just became aware of it due to your comment (thank you, by the way: good comment) it feels strange to be pedantic about it, but the question in the headline

Note how Football Manager 2014 dominates both the Mean/Median "number of hours played per owner" charts, but doesn't register on the "Most played games" charts. This seems to indicate this game is the most succ

I enjoy using fish as my main shell, but as soon as I ran into a "curl oneliner install" that failed in fish (in my case Homebrew's at the bottom of http://brew.sh/ ) and required me to jump into bash. I enjoy

Slightly off topic: but I just wanted to thank you for continuing the thread in this fashion. I found it educational (in a 'how to teach/how to interview' way)

I really wish there was a non-video summary on the landing page. It looks good, but FWIW here is free data on my 'acquisition funnel': Saw post on HN, opened it and the HN comments each in their own tabs. Got confused at the websi

Does anyone know if MemSQL has improved in ACID compliance (especially full durability performance) in the nearly 2 years since Domas previously[0] dissected it? MemSQL sounds too good to be true sometimes, but I want to believe. Just wish

Out of curiosity, does anyone know what "{{{1}}}" under Layout refers to? I found it a bit ungoogleable.

My sibling comments (at time of post) point out Chrome/Firefox dev tools and jshint.. Which I also use every day integrated into the same development flow. Perhaps the question is better posed as "What IDE is so great for Javascri

Absolutely. Stigma over a (d)vcs !== (in)ability to contribute to a project.

One of my favorite childhood games was Aerobiz [1]. Probably not an accurate simulation of starting an airline, but that is what this submission made me think of. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerobiz

Right. In a sense it operates on the same principle as why the known universe is larger than it is old (as space-time continues to expand and light has further to go)

"They should have kept it at $600 and increased the total needed for the project." - The reason the curve levels off isn't (entirely) because the cost is $200 more. It's because the 'limited time' offer caused
