I end up meeting other HNers when I go to user group meetups, Barcamps, StartupCamps, etc... In most large cities I imagine the same thing happens. But about your site - it looks fine to me, although I would make the 'cards' smaller and ove

These improvements have occurred over time, as browsers gain new features and new techniques are discovered. They (the jQuery contributors) focus on the features and optimize what can be optimized when there is a need. The optimized solutio

Qi-gong (sometimes spelled chi- kung). It is moving meditation, as opposed to still. There are many different kinds, but the one I'm most familiar with is called Chaoyi fan huan (cfq). I find it easier to move into a meditative state whe

It might be useful to view APIs as a UI; it is not a G UI, but it is is a user interface where the users are developers. The developer can be as confused as a GUI user when faced with a myriad of choices.
