Is this through first-hand experience? I am tempted to give this a go.

No kidding! We had literally deployed a major page redesign and started watching our analytics drop off on it's way to zero. My heart is racing still. I wouldn't normally be happy for a cloudflare outage but in this case it's

I've seen this in person, and almost every year I visit the museum and have the same reaction. I stand there in wonder looking at it for about 30 minutes. The connection to the past world feels absolutely visceral. You can get very clo

I couldn't agree more. And I have also found there is a dogma surrounding JS technology that views plain old HTML generated on a server as bad practice and outdated. Yet, again and again I see fast and functional websites converted to

I believe it is more than just a shift in parenting. I am a parent of a 7 year old. The expectations I place on him are to work hard when faced with a task, and don't give up too easily. In terms of activities, the only requirements ar

We have let everyone know they must start working from home, and we are purchasing proper audio equipment for our employees. This thread acted as a wake-up call. I fully admit we have had our head down. I have been dismissive in the middle

Perhaps the difference is cultural. In my country we place a lot of confidence in the government and public health care system. We have been tested more in our province of <4 million than the entire US (x2). Additionally, we do not live

Our employees have always had the choice to work from home. Many just prefer to come to the office, no one has yet opted to work from home full time. The choice we were struggling with (until being shaken up in this thread), was whether to

Alberta has been testing at 1800 / million (7100 tests). For context when the US was at our point they were at 5 / million.

They can work from home. But I'm learning from this thread, that being in a rather northern location where no one in the entire city has started working from home is not the norm. Again, it was only yesterday that the government gave a

I don't feel that snipe was necessary. I've expressed myself honestly, and no one acts perfectly in situations like this.

The first case only just made its way to our city a couple of days ago. We have been rather distracted of course by getting signatures and cheques. For context, our schools and daycares are still open, as are city rec centers, gyms, and pu

My co-founder and I are really struggling with the decisions ahead of us. We feel we should act quickly, and enforce our team to work from home, but the spread in our city is quite low for now. We also wonder how long this can go on, are we

I feel as if Rails plus a progressive framework such as Vue.js is essentially what you are talking about?

I feel like Swift is becoming more like Ruby over time. 2 of the features here (Key Path Expressions and Subscript default arguments) were recently introduced to Ruby. This isn't a bad thing, just an interesting progression.

Absolutely, and I would add Google Analytics to that list of "big services" as well.

I agree with much of what you say, but I disagree that RoR was "beginner friendly". It had/has a steep learning curve. From personal experience, and from the (continuing) weekly HN "Hiring" posts that are looking fo

I agree, in my city (Edmonton), the weather forecast even 1 day in advance has effectively become useless this summer. It has been record breaking in terms of the amount/days of rain, and I can say with confidence on at least half of t

I grew up in the northern wilds of Canada, and my parents always drilled into our heads "if it's brown, play dead on the ground; if it's black, fight back".

Last summer we bought 3 Mac minis for some summer interns to use (biocurators) and I used the same apple account for each of them. We had a very confusing standup meeting the next day trying to figure out why seemingly random scientific tex

I do believe most style guidelines for other programming languages prefer spaces over tabs - I believe spaces have "won" (the merit of each is a whole other debate).

The Ruby Style Guide has been around for a long time now, this is just a nice update. The guide has received ample feedback and edits/additions over the years, with an emphasis on reaching a consensus amongst senior ruby developers and

I was surprised to see how much sugar is in bread in the US compared to the bread I buy in Canada (specifically grocery store "bagged bread"). The sweetness makes it taste awful, and hides the taste of the wheat and different grai

Drive works fine for me in Safari (other than using an unreasonable amount of CPU). It sure beats installing drive sync or whatever it is called.

If you are looking for something free that is specifically for pathways, I worked on a project called PathWhiz ( http://smpdb.ca/pathwhiz ) that might fit the bill. It also has the advantage of structuring the data into BioPa
