Someone else touched on this below but this article ignores the brain drain problem. It's true that Vancouver can attract talent from SF/Seattle easier than Toronto, for example, but conversely it also means Vancouver/BC nati

As someone who's been to Seattle a grand total of once 6 years ago, I still thought it was weird when their downtown was described as "lively". After my trip I told people that Seattle seemed to have a "fake downtown&quo

At this point, how does this not count as "code reviews"? You may not be using a PR based workflow, but it sure sounds like code reviews are in fact happening beyond simply "pair programming". Not only is the blog title

So their main argument seems to be that pair programming somehow has less overhead than PRs? I personally don't see how that is possible. Or if it really is, how much less overhead can it be? I like pair programming, but it's stil

Artificial shore/land expansion is really interesting so I loved this article. This article mentions illegal sand trade but doesn't go into much detail about sand theft. In 2008 someone stole 500 truck loads of sand from a Jamaica

"100% windproof" Downtown in any big city would probably prove that to be wrong very quickly. Toronto destroys umbrellas. They make some nice claims WITHOUT any warranty at all.

I've been pretty happy with the simple clj-sql-up [1] It's just raw SQL which you realize is not too different from the libraries which try to treat them as Clojure data structures. Has the side benefit of remembering more SQL syn

Disappointing not to see an example app's source code. It's the quickest way for developers to get an understanding of it.

It would be great if someone familiar with JBuilder could make a PR to add support for it. It would actually be pretty simple to add.

Looked for Canibus near the top and wasn't surprised to find him 4th. If anyone hasn't heard of him, highly suggest listening to his older stuff such as his first Can-I-Bus, 2000 BC and Mic Club. He raps about science and space al

It's fine if you don't want to tell people since there are legitimate reasons not to. But this is mostly a cop out. We know that YC application reviewers make notes and obviously do some sort of internal ranking. There may be case

Your body is fairly important, so I'd suggest spending more than 7 minutes on improving it. If you can't, fix your priorities. Don't try and "hack" your workouts for the purpose of reducing how long they take. And b

Your pricing/trips page ( https://flightfox.com/trips ) is really lacking some direction and information. I can easily see new Flightfox users being really confused. I was slightly confused and I've used Flightfox t
