I really enjoyed going through the quickstart. It doubles as a really great teaching tool for people coming from front-end and design. It made a lot of data modeling concepts stick. There are some bugs here and there, but keep up the good w

Perhaps I'm being a tad too pedantic in this followup, but can you elaborate further? It's difficult for me to square how every style of music is equally sophisticated. I'm taking sophisticated to roughly mean 'complex

Also, I'm having trouble finding what satisfies the condition of 'severe dependence'. Did anyone catch it?

I like and use ES6, but I am not a fan of the trend to use as little syntax as possible to be 'beautiful' or 'clean'. Am I the only one who is bothered by this ultra reduction? To me, it ends up as either parentheses so

A lot of LinkedIn hate, but no comment I've read acknowledges that LinkedIn (in some fields, and growing) has replaced the resume. It's almost a universal format — there's a lot of value in that. I can just give someone this

I'm going to put in the lonely voice of support for the new design.

I just heard the author on Philosophy Bites (a podcast). Absolutely marvelous episode, I was genuinely surprised by her findings: http://philosophybites.com/2013/09/alison-gopnik-on-hume-and...

Give me a break. That's like saying Cornell's Tech MBA was created to fuel America's military-industrial complex.

It's simply anti-intellectualism. It's part of the fabric of contemporary American culture that's being exported all over the world. Not sure there's an easy path out from this. Reading, education, book clubs may help. &

These comments are very narrow-minded and hostile. This is wonderful execution. It's really hard to create something that's so easy to use. Its API looks surprisingly elegant. As for the use cases and UX, remember that there'

I've seen some truly amazing things done with passive solar (i.e. building your house to optimally capture sun radiation and store it. The greenhouse effect on steroids.) Some houses in Maine don't have any heating system at all;

Some people are blessed with some kind of inherent sense of meaning. Maybe you are one of them. For others, the absurd dominates if all else is stripped. Myths and spirituality were (and still are) helpful things. Extreme empiricism and k

As a lover of the humanities and social 'sciences', I am always cheered up when a postmodernist snaps out of it, so we can actually have intelligible conversations again. Paraphrasing famous modernist designer Massimo Vignelli, po

I'm really perplexed by this common attitude. Employees are sometimes happy. Sometimes they're miserable. Sometimes they're in-between — for complicated reasons, that may lie outside of work. Firing any employee that asks for

Well, then I guess you're calling a majority of the population (including doctors, lawyers, artist, musicians, etc) "stupid". What you really mean is someone who doesn't understand how technology (and tech companies) wor

I took it for a spin and enjoyed it. It would be even more awesome if there was a deploy to Github pages that was as easy as the AWS deploy.

Do these percentages take into account causation vs correlation? Apparently (surprisingly), it's still very difficult to prove causation without a laboratory experiment. Perhaps people who are likely to exercise have a certain genetic

I agree that it's probably user error in this case, but also am very surprised this isn't covered better in router documentation. I've run into this problem many times and there's still no authoritative source on how to

How's this for an idea: by law, many/all HR duties in corporations larger than X, must be conducted by independent, outside firms hired by the original corporation. They would be like tax auditor firms or credit card security audi

Can we try not to be sociopaths for two seconds? Just politely ask the person behind you if they mind. They'll most likely say yes even if they do mind, but they'll appreciate the gesture. I personally find it impolite to lean bac

All I can say is that I didn't 'set a long term goal' going into college. I just did what I was told and eventually picked a major, riding it out as the path of least resistance to graduation. Let me put it this way: given my

OK, so the reformers need to define their terms. Yes, I agree.

But it's a political problem! I agree that the debate over education is crippled by a lack of clear teleological goals that everyone can agree on before discussing. But that's expected in a big discussion. Most Big Social Issues

You're very right! I was generalizing. I've just seen too products I use get shut down because they refuse to create sustainable businesses.

Ehhh, yeah, sort of. There were far less people who could call themselves designers at the time. It was a slower craft and took more training. It's like in music. Yeah, there were other bands other than the Beatles and Rolling Stones,

I agree, I simply replaced "design" with "interface design" and everything makes sense.
