Being an avid cyclist, I found it insane two years ago that this feature didn't exist. I find it even more insane now. Perhaps they are spending too much time creating gorgeous photo editorials? I do love those by the way...but how doe

They brought on the global creative director from Beats by Dre. He had a hand in some interesting campaigns, but clearly it didn't do the trick. Twitter is still insanely enmeshed in the American cultural fabric right now. Any newscast

Yep, and Palantir also. I wish my company would be more open to using it, but the patent issue makes it a non-starter for us.

Took it, always mind-boggling how many new flavors and frameworks are coming out. Can't keep up! clojurescript, Typescript and vanilla js for me, all day long. Want to get into Elm also.

I would've started using Rust way sooner if academia hadn't forced me to use c++ or c for anything systems related. Upon graduation I felt like a kid in a candy store with all the languages and platforms I hadn't tried in my

I worked or a large company on several web-based apps right around the time React came out. There were some UI issues I thought could be sorted easily using React. After going to our lead dev, who in turn went to our project manager, we rec

There is a big controversy about this in the area of Ohio I am from (overdose capital of the U.S., Coincidentally). A sheriff who presides over a country near my home is loudly deriding the use of Narcan, saying it will not be used by his

A really interesting thought. I wonder what languages and platforms Kafka would favor...

This is amazing. Disgrace is one of my favorite novels of all time and I always found it fascinating how versatile Coetzee is. The man seems to be good at everything.

>Wonder what they'd feel about us having this conversation now, over a hundred years later. Mortified or unashamed? For some reason, I feel like Joyce would probably be nonplussed. I don't really know enough about Nora to form

Good question...I would say a positive sign. Although faded, the names were still there four years later — kind of like how initial infatuation fades but hopefully the deeper love stays strong? Maybe a reach.

I always thought it ludicrous, even given the era in which it was published, that Ulysses was banned in places and on trial for obscenity. "Look at Joyce, look at those glasses, he is probably the furthest thing from an indecent perver

I tried to search for something I could take as a cosmic sign, inputting my girlfriend's name and then my own. Nada. Zippo. Zilch. We were however eating in a restaurant last year, a pizza place where people scribbled on the walls in m

I have to say, this is one of the most self-aware breakdowns of personal choices and the cost/benefit of those choices I have seen — at least on an internet forum. I've never been a drinker, too much of a problematic family histor

Yeah this was my first thought too. I way prefer just coming here than trying to navigate the shared HN stories on my Facebook timeline. There is something unsettling to me about seeing HN stories shared on Facebook anyway but maybe I'

Uh, at least in my circle of developer and hobbyist friends Elixir and Erlang are blowing up. And reading the front page here, I would think the popularity of Elixir is not some small isolated phenomenon. What past language trends are you t

If education loans and repayment plans were tied to future income, I feel like we would have a much healthier higher education system in the U.S. As it stands now, it seems to be one of the bleaker spots in our overall current situation (I

I studied both English and CS in a hybrid program in college. One of the things that appealed to me about writing great code is that it did parallel good writing. The process of writing, especially a paper or a longer thesis relies on logic

Unless Craig Wright comes out with further proof, proof that is undeniable and unquestionable, I am left feeling sick to my stomach. I have read several articles this morning which tout this event as total fact (BBC, Venturebeat, NPR and mo
