   I would like to echo your sentiment with my own story. I've owned a GoPro since Christmas of 2014. After less than a year of use the camera would start washing out videos while recording with flares of green and pink then freezing typi

    I think there's one fact that a lot of people overlooked here. The new touchbar is optional. The new MBP comes in two models and one still has your typical function row. I do agree that the announcement was disappointing, leaving me qu

    While there is a lot to get excited about with ML both as a consumer and as a software developer I can't help feeling a pang of sadness. Big data and in this case the relationship (graph) between big data points are whats needed to mak

    This would be true if we had one person responsible for the merge! We have a small team of developers and proper rebase and merge is the responsibility of the PR author after it has passed code review + testing. In short: all devs are admin

    Well this is a great addition! I've worked in places where `squash and merge` was standard procedure and others (including currently) where `rebase and merge` was the standard. It's nice to see the later finally getting some love

    If I had one recommendation to increase your projects chance of success it would be to make sure a snippet of code is shown right away. On your homepage, on your github page, where ever you think someone will encounter the project for the v

    Not the most sound method but I was demonstrating the relative popularity of programming languages to my SO the other day using find in the Who's Hiring thread for May and python was the most popular. Surprised me as well.

    PostgreSQL has continued to be one the best open source en-devours so far. An amazingly smart and welcoming community that turns out arguabley the best in class relational database. Kudos and keep innovating team PG.

    I am enjoying the steam that both Erlang and Elixir are gaining here on Hacker News. They're both interesting, well designed languages built atop a rock solid VM with some great abstractions for concurrency. I'm hoping that this t
