I'm sorry, but the commercial aspect of this just seems crazy. Would people really pay money for this, or ever want a code review (one of the plan differentiators)?

Ah, are they going to make a minifier based on Bublé ( https://buble.surge.sh/ ), too? Perhaps they could call it Bublili.

For example gravitational forces probably lock the same side of the planet in perpetual daylight, while the other side is in perpetual night. Should I admit on HN to having watched a Vin Diesel film? Pitch Black , anyone?

Just to be contrary, I happily used emacs and Mutt together for about a decade. (I wanted to start using Mutt again earlier this year, but so far the labour of love involved in cobbling a good .muttrc together - without just copying bits an

It's so irritating when somebody tries to be friendly at the job Wow, really? You honestly find it irritating when someone perceives you might have a mutual interest in something only tangentially related to work, so strikes up a co

They're both pink (a similar but not identical shade); one has "iu" and one has "in", both in white; one is a circle, one is a square. When I clicked the link I was initially confused because I thought it had actua

You might want to have a re-think about the favicon - it's pretty similar to InVision's ( https://invisionapp.com ) and, while they're not quite in the same space, they're also not worlds apart.

One problem is that kids, at least in the UK, are taught to say "one plus one" not "plus one one".

They gave two months' notice of the change to having to have a paying Mailchimp accounts with Mandrill - do you regard that as sudden? They also sent quite regular reminders, too. (I will admit we ended up leaving it a bit until the

In reading this post, I realised this was the first time I'd ever visited the Stack Overflow homepage.

Imagine how fantastic it must be working with someone like Carmack. Sure, the first few code reviews would be fairly traumatic - as you quickly realise just how much faster and generally better he is than you - but I think after a little

I really enjoyed "EOM (end of morning)". I think I used to have this guy as a client!

I always found this a weird omission from smartphones. I remember happily listening to FM radio on my ancient Nokia 8210, and probably the 3210 before that, and wondering why I couldn't do this on my iPhone.

This is basically what happens, at least on my Mac - it complains about it not being a valid SYLK file, then I think, "I have no idea what that means", then I dismiss the error and it opens it up as a CSV. At least now I know why!

The Dead is a good film, undeniably, but its basis is the final short story of Dubliners , which is Joyce's most approachable work; everything afterwards was increasingly avant-garde, but Dubliners is at least written according to

I'm pretty sure not many people will understand what the word means in this context, and I would strongly suggest removing it. "valency" has specific meanings in chemistry and grammar, and I think it's not well-known ou

Someone commented on his free e-book by saying "meh", and he replied: Note that this review not only is completely unhelpful with just the single word "meh", leaving me nothing as an author to do to improve... but also

Some of what you describe probably falls under the category of tasks that, if you are smart, you can just figure out (gap analysis, for example, whilst a wonderfully bullshit bingo compliant term, is fundamentally quite straightforward), an

How about Mutt? It's undeniably very powerful, and with its support for threading it's probably not that different from Gmail's "conversation view", with the added bonus that it won't read your emails and serv

They made a mediocre (but reasonably watchable) film about this called "Devil's Pass" (or "The Dyatlov Pass Incident" in some regions) - I won't spoil it for you, but their possible solution made "Yeti&quo

Many thanks Harry. I hope they can help me on my quest to get a few new mattresses and a computer.

It's just possible I was joking. Or, I don't know, maybe I like to advertise my future criminal exploits on a web site I post to using my real name.

That is a good idea! I quite fancy a few new mattresses and a computer.

This page was so clearly written, and its content so compelling, I was actually left wondering whether it was the same bafflingly pretentious Urbit that I'd stared at in mesmerised bewilderment in years past. This makes sense, looks gr

Great story! Also: I bet that domain name would be worth something to someone.
