I am an avid reader of `/r/reactiongifs` and `/r/highqualitygifs`. Classification is done by hand, and the idea anyway is to use feedback (either slack reactions or voting on the site) to figure out what the best tag for

I wanted to see how hard it would be to build a gif search engine, I made https://gifffy.com in a month. My buddies and I used it for our personal slack instead of giphy. It is nice to be able to adjust the search results oursel

NYC has subways that extend out to less dense / borderline suburban neighborhoods. Though ridership to these terminals is much lower than in manhattan and northern brooklyn and queens, they're still an important way for some peopl

Monkeys throwing darts at the board. This brings to mind the Buffett hedge fund wager, where he invested in a vanguard s&p 500 tracking fund (VFIAX) and a hedge fund actively managed an equal amount, and Mr. Buffett ended up winning han

T-Mobile is an example of cellular companies responding to tight competition and differentiating by removing caps / usage fees. The key is competition though, as you've pointed out.

It's not my first reaction, it's not something I do when I'm traveling, but it's either be slightly loud and aggressive or just suffer in silence. I chose the former.

Obviously not the same but I've had this happen in a couple places and I just say "FUCK OFF" as loud as I can and get visibly upset and they leave me alone after that.

It's 2016 and we still can't disable the acceleration curve for wired / non-trackpad mice.

"Attention Economy" is a nice term. FWIW I both love and hate remixes; sometimes they bring out an aspect of the track that artist didn't emphasize enough in the original mix. Sometimes the remixer makes an entire new song fr

Also time.Time (which could be thought of as two int64s) Even string ordering there is a lot left up to the implementation as far as how it is done. Do capitals come first? Does capitalization not matter? etc. For non-intrinsic types you wo

Another approach to this (this is used to good effect in LINQ) is to skip the `Less(i,j)` and just provide a value extractor, except golang makes that super verbose because you'd have to do `func(v interface{}) interface{}` The idea wo

Did the headline have to have `RIDDLED` capitalized? Feels sensationalist.

It is interesting that it would be trivial for them to localize the units, it seems like they specifically didn't. As a datapoint of one I was fine with thinking in kilometers because those are generally the units I use when running (y

The question is: Could you have hired that exec team if it wasn't going to be based in NYC?

In NYC (and I think San Francisco) it's illegal to sleep on the sidewalks. NYPD enforces this pretty consistently, SFPD on the other hand I'm pretty sure they just do it to make sure the person isn't dead.

It is possible for people to be good at self promotion without needing a PR agency. Some people have the hubris to put themselves out there, and are skillful enough to be successful at it. Not everyone is like that, and we do dole a great d

In fairness with steam putting a big emphasis on linux Windows time as the OS of choice for gaming might be coming to an end.

It's largely the same, the speed cube just replaces the stickers with plastic tiles. The internals are also tweaked to make it easier to spin and to make it resist "popping" where the cube would jettison some pieces if you we

It was better than "Enigma" certainly but it still wasn't as high fidelity as it could have been.

It's also the size of a VW Beatle. People think the gun is just the barrel but the ammo belt and drive are enormous.

The "sexiness" isn't just because of their egos; sexiness fuels recruiting, which is ultimately how the air force is effective. Granted I'm not sure what isn't sexy about the GAU-8 firing; probably the craziest gun

CLR (the C# runtime) generics are fully reified and about the most complicated and robust implementation available. It dynamically emits and loads types whenever a new generic parameter is seen for a function or type. This is very, very har

After watching Rob Pike's Go Proverbs talk I am pretty convinced generics, as much as some would want it, will never happen. He proselytizes "just copy a little code here and there" quite clearly, which is at odds with the co

The cynical answer is that bookface is turning a blind eye to content theft because they need the eyeballs on videos, regardless of their provenance. It (theoretically) helps metrics and allows them to woo advertising money. There is no pro

This is cool! I'm actually kind of shocked it performs better than gin (which is based on httprouter). Are you using a specialized prefix tree for the routes?

they're two different use cases (for us anyway). we use quip instead of google docs, slack for everything else.
