I left my job to work full-time on https://sublimefund.org , with the goal of getting more people involved in philanthropy. I'm working on donation matching right now.

In a sense, yes. It's a collection of fun programming projects, and the font is a continuation of that spirit.

I like this idea of a maturity model. It makes sense that READMEs grow in scope with their projects and can be evaluated accordingly. To add to the README discussion, I made a small website a few months ago for README guidelines, though it&

Netlify. I used to use GitHub Pages + Cloudflare (for SSL on custom domains), but deploy previews made me try out Netlify, and I've had a fantastic experience with it.

It's good to see the homepage get more attention. I personally would love a more Facebook-like news feed. There is so much interesting activity on GitHub, but I generally discover it all through Twitter, HN, Reddit, etc.

I'm asking this in good faith. What are the best use cases nowadays for Mongo? I've read that it still makes sense when you are dealing with truly self-contained documents. But even then, what is the advantage over just using Post

That doesn't mean they will though. Companies frequently make the decision to buy services that they could build instead. I'm not saying every one should be paying for feature flagging, just that it could make sense for some com

You might want to get this added to http://featureflags.io/ Good luck. It's good to see some more competition in this space.

It's only trivial when your needs are trivial. See https://launchdarkly.com/buildbuy.html At scale, a hosted solution might be justified.

I wish every menu would come with pictures for every item, if only because portion sizes are so unpredictable. Yelp has pictures sometimes, but they're crowdsourced, so it's usually only the popular items that have them. Maybe the

Yep, I agree. That's why I like to think of it as a spectrum. Based on analysis, someone can believe one operation is more of an investment than another operation. I know I was being pedantic, but I wanted to avoid making it seem simpl

Thanks for building it! It only took me a day or two to get https://www.dailylore.com up and running because of it.

Paul Graham would probably say to focus on the niche first. For the reasoning, see his essay on how to get startup ideas[1] (the section titled "Well"). He calls it Buchheit's Rule[2]: "It's better to make a few peo

I'd generally be happy with a full day of heavy use, but a phone that can last that long when it's brand new won't be able to do it 1-2 years later because of battery degradation after many charge cycles.

Nice. I'll definitely be looking for a phone like that when my current contract is up.

I wish smartphone manufacturers would shift the focus from making better cameras to improving battery life. The performance of every phone becomes zero once the battery runs out. This review claims excellent battery life, but for me to real
