Does this mean that we can finally have smaller credit cards, if they only need to be big enough to hold the chip? (Assuming payment slots can somehow handle multiple card sizes, eventually...)

I don't have anything to add, but your product looks fantastic and I can only imagine the joy it brings to patients and families. Nice work!

I've always thought the SAT is basically gauging the same skill: can you study for a test and do well? The grades you get in college are mostly determined by how well you can study for tests. In the process, hopefully you learn the sub

Very cool! I can see this being especially useful for communicating status of some process status, like for example, # of tests run today, outcome, etc.

I've seen reference to org mode quite a few times now. I will have to check it out.

Very nice! It would be really cool if you can do some simple math too, like =sum(...), and have it update the markdown for you. I like it!

While I agree with you in general, it must be somewhat difficult to draw the line between what's a "good" defense contract, and what a "bad" one is. Surely we need _some_ defense contracts? Once you need some defens

It's crazy to think that Amazon acquired Whole Foods for less than Facebook acquired WhatsApp. Not on the list, IBMs 34b acquisition of Red Hat.

I agree with your statement, but I would change it to the right team . Even great places have teams that aren't high performing, and landing on one of those can hinder your learnings/career.

Another useful aspect of lodash is familiarity. When you see a lodash function name you're familiar with, you can instantly place that piece of code within your mental model. No need to read 10 different implementations of the same fil

I'm not so sure that'll still be true once they have a critical mass of users on there. Perhaps a lot of users will have been brought on through their network, instead of through their belief in the platform. Before you know it,

Probably an unpopular opinion here: I personally find that I understand and remember things a lot better if I learn them from video (as opposed to reading text alone). Anyone else like this?

I see people say things like this a lot on HN ("I would easily pay X for Y, if it meant no advertising"), and I worry that we are a bit of a self selecting population with the means for such things. Imagine you have family with 4

Thanks for the information. I see now why I hadn't noticed. I don't Snapchat anymore, I switched to Google Music, and I haven't adopted Discord. I guess I'm not in with the cool crowd anymore!

It gives you a well defined set of primitives to work with. It's also a well established library, so there are a number of good resources on it (and it's seems to be mostly bug free).
