So let me get this straight - They're publishing a secret key on a Gist, and then getting whiny when it somehow gets leaked. Github very clearly states that "secret" gists are NOT private: https://help.github.c

Good points, but a very important part of being a 'good' developer is prioritizing goals based on relative impact, and ultimately Getting Things Done. 'Sharpening the axe' and programming for its own sake is great, but

There's a lot more stuff under the NASA umbrella than manned spaceflight that do a lot of great science (Such as the JPL) and are generally some of the best at what they do, so I wouldnt advocate shutting down the whole program, howeve

TIL about cloc! Thank you good sir. It seems as though this is because he had node_modules checked into source control on the frontend part. npm basically likes to download the whole internet when you run npm install, so these stats do not

isn't soylent basically just dog food for humans? Pretty much, but that doesn't turn me off to it - hopefully they make a spinoff breakfast cereal and call it Bachelor Chow.

From the article, it doesn't appear to be a full vacuum tube, just much lower pressure, which airplanes have been protecting their passengers against for years. Also, the reason astronauts need to be so physically fit is not because th

Python was the first language I learned in college, and I have to agree with the OP's opinion on this. While transitioning to C++ in later courses did involve some pain points, I felt like python was a great way to ease into the progra

I like the features such as the partials and the no-nonsense HTML editing, but what kills it for me is the dual pane setup. I see this in many programs like markdown editors, and I cannot imagine a worse use for all that screen real estate.

As negative as the article sounds, I agree with the overall premise. With the same amount of money that's currently being sucked into their manned program, infinitely more and better scientific endeavors can be funded. Imagine not only

I remember learning how to use Excel when I was around that age, for the purpose of making charts for science projects. Since they're probably learning basic statistics and data analysis around that age, Excel is an effective way of fi

Off topic, but this is the first time on HN where I have seen unanimously positive comments. This must be good.

I've used some 3d transformations in CSS before, but this is on a whole different level. Really great work here!

I suppose the hardest part of doing something like this, at least for me, would be coming up with a list of ideas of exactly what to create - not just coming up with 180 things, but 180 things that I can reasonably expect to accomplish in o

It seems to me that all the hyperbole is about raised expectations. Hell, the fact they can even get something like this to work, and are able to determine (somewhat) that it is working the way they intended is enough to get me excited. I d

The big reason I've been using Bootstrap for client websites recently has been the wrapbootstrap store. I'd been looking for something equivalent with Foundation, but haven't found one. This looks like it. I hope it takes off! I might submi

I feel kind of the opposite, where I've seen wordpress used to create what is effectively a static brochure site - what good is a Content Management Solution when the content isn't being managed? The only reason they're using it is that's a
