   While I agree that Segwit2x would have been good for BTC, it ultimately only kicks the can down the road a little bit. If BTC (or BCH) is going to be used at Visa/Mastercard scale then the transactions need to happen off-chain. The Lig

   It's not sad at all. It's exciting! The fact that the big companies are copying Tesla will only speed up adoption. It's further validation that Tesla is on the right path.

   As a solo founder, I found startup school invaluable. It really helped keep me honest with myself to discuss what I had done and what I will do at the weekly office hours. I would recommend Startup School to any startup but if you're a

   Thanks, great to hear. I also remember seeing keygen.sh on bootstrapped.fm. Great minds! ;-)

   Ah, thanks, I spend a lot of time trying to get those little elements correct. It makes it worthwhile when people appreciate those touches!

   Possibly but I'm focusing on simple websites first. I hope to expand to more use-cases over time. Of course, Babel and the JSX transform will work just fine with Pingy. I'm just not optimizing the project in that direction right n

    Hey Dave here, I built Pingy CLI. :) I decided to extract the build tool stuff from the Pingy Desktop App [1] and make it open source and available as a stand-alone CLI. It's not designed for complicated web apps (use gulp/grunt&#

    I'll either politely refuse to answer or if I have thought about it beforehand then I'll give a number that guides them towards the salary I am looking for this time around. I don't really mind the question. It's a littl

    And feed the energy back into the motor. Or even directly power the wheels. It could work if you make the car more lightweight and use a pedal system on gears instead of treadmill. Let's call it a... "Bicycle". :)

    I'm having trouble figuring out how this would look in code and how it would be more graceful than async/await. Can you share an example?

    I think the main issue with the transition of Babel 5 -> Babel 6 was a cognitive one. A few CLI one-liners don't really address this. Babel was zero-config and now it's not. I now need to understand what presets and plugins do

    Yes, it's included. Remember Microsoft has VSCode, Typescript, .Net, Cognitive Toolkit and more on Github. Google would be #1 if Angular was hosted under the Google org. I remember first seeing these stats in Github's infographic

    Something around $20/year sounds about right to me. I'd prefer a subscription model to be honest, seems more sustainable and I don't want the service to be gone in a year.

    Awesome, you should also charge a nominal amount for the same service but without branding.

    My understanding is that the escape key is there by default but the active application can choose to override it. I don't need the escape while I'm using Spotify. I quite like the new Macbooks. Would have been nice to have a 32GB

    Second time that this has happened to Transmission this year. Last time a ransomware got included. If you're a Transmission user then be very cautious when installing new versions.
