Slides should compliment the instruction, not replace it (and honestly, if one feels they DO replace it then they are probably not doing a very good job presenting it in the first place).

I agree with your point... just want to mention that I actually eat about that much (sub-2000 calories. I'm a white, middle class American). Of course, I have to try rather hard to stay that low here in the States but I feel great, doi

A very solid example of someone that doesn't actually understand China very well at all and so analyzes it from a somewhat extreme and self-focused perspective that is particular to conservatives from the West. tl;rd: pseudo-intellectu

And on the other side of the coin you have my folks in China who all use WeChat for everything. In fact, I was much more familiar with WeChat than WhatApp.

What if they used the church bathroom? Maybe consider getting rid of those or at least installing cameras in them so you can be sure no one is doing anything unholy. Hmm, actually then who could view the footage to monitor things? I suppose

I've lived in Finland and spent time in Sweden in the winter and I grew up in Ohio (went to college in Michigan) and I can tell you that the winters in the midwest vary greatly depending on which part you live in. Finland and Sweden bo

I realize this is San Francisco we are talking about but the idea that $1,000,000 is merely a down payment for a small living space is mind boggling to me (yes, I live somewhere much less desirable and much cheaper).

It sounds like they merely looked for who had accessed a Tor network, not that they could tell anything about the communication. Kind of like, "We know the perpetrator entered the grounds through the east gate prior to 9:00am. Security

Since we're talking fonts (and I don't especially care for this one) how about Menlo? Based on Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, it's available on Mac. No Mac? Check out the nearly identical DejaVu Sans Mono. Here is a cool visual co

Well, simply because it was familiar to all of us and will be sufficient for the task. That said, I like the idea of a PEAN stack.

We started with a MEAN stack but are in the process of stripping out Mongo for MySQL... I guess that still makes it a MEAN stack.

As someone who travels to China fairly frequently I can say I've found this site to be inconsistent. That said, different locations within China have inconsistently differing levels of blockage (for instance, you can access many more p

It does look impressive but keep in mind the presentation would likely be tailored to the tool's specific strengths. Every WYSIWYG editor I've ever used was always only useful up to a point. Maybe this one breaks that mold but the

I really get tired of this sort of response where the one replying ignores the primary point in order to take issue with a single portion of one of several examples that bolstered it.

Rackspace is the best that our company has ever used. The expense is a factor, though, and many smaller sites aren't willing to bear that burden and that is where the likes of Media Temple comes in. They host most of the smaller sites

I've been on antidepressants from time to time. For the most part they did very little for me and, on occasion, caused awful physical addiction (Effexor, I'm looking at you) and this made me want to avoid them. But... newer medica

I do katas every week and think they are great for both reinforcing good practice and helping you get over rough patches in your understanding of a language. That said there are quite a few katas out there that are either trivial or merely

And now I know about it as well ("CMD + \"). Can't believe I never knew about that shortcut, given how many times per day I use the app.

Personally I suspect that children are born with varying levels of intelligence (yes, some people are born less intelligent than others) and that the sort of nurturing one provides has a strong effect on how that intelligence develops. I su

I value a contiguous 18 hours far more than I value 60 second chunks that total 18 hours over a year. They aren't worth the same because they cannot offer the same value.

I use Siri to schedule reminders all the time. Sometimes to take notes and it's also useful for sending hands free texts via voice. Oh, and search... I just used it tonight when in an unfamiliar area to find the nearest gas station and

Given the number of these sorts of code contests, which ones do Hacker News readers like/dislike? I tried one mentioned on the reddit post linked in the top comment and enjoyed it (codewars). What do you all like?

I used NerdTree but for those on a Mac there is a pretty interesting Macvim fork (Alloy)[ https://github.com/alloy/macvim ] that implements a native sidebar. (Here is a good post)[ http://faculty.washington.edu
