   Thanks for the feedback! I'll see what I can do to make the results easier to see on mobile. I have thought about looking into making it offline; haven't gotten around to that yet but I'll prioritize it higher!

   Thanks! Yeah I've played around with instructions a few times but it could definitely be clearer.

   Hey HN! I'm a runner and was unhappy with all of the pace calculator websites I could find—they were awkward, slow, confusing, couldn't handle arbitrary distances, or couldn't extrapolate, say, a mile pace into a 10k time. Th

   Hey HN! I built this site to learn Elm but also because I was astonished I couldn't find another site that did this. Would love any feedback!

   Thanks for the tips! I'm definitely going to use these as well.

    As a fellow Ruby CLI developer, I feel your pain exactly. I've been planning on exploring Traveling Ruby[^1] for exactly this reason (as well as the fact that telling users they need to `sudo gem install` something is non-ideal) but ha

    Ah, looks like they just updated the status page. H99 errors mean something's wrong with Heroku's platform.

    I can't tell if "boring" here is an intentional pun or not but I like it. :)

    Could you share some/all of your "never do again" and "needs to be done before launch" lists?

    We're getting errors indicative of an S3 outage too.

    I'd also like to see that other things exist at that level. I didn't notice the numbers at all.

    That is a much better suggestion, thanks.

    I'm glad someone else has a go-to site for this. I use my university alma mater's website.

    Ha, I originally planned on building it as a browser extension, but this gave better performance, could be more intelligent (e.g. stop running if the computer is working on something else), and was usable without a web browser.

    Thanks for the feedback! That landing page has gone through a lot of revisions, but definitely can still be improved.

    How is a build step that turns your HTML into a smaller amount of HTML with the exact same behavior (by removing optional tags) different from a "minification" step that turns your HTML or JS into a smaller amount of HTML/J

    This becomes tricky when you're using a language like Ruby where arrays also have built-in union and membership operations. And I don't see why, if performance is critical, knowing which operations/techniques/algorithms

    I'm not assuming this at all. By all means, learn via non-traditional routes! I only meant to push back on the parent comment's framing of big-O complexity as useless theory.

    I see complaints about big-O notation being a useless interview torture device all the time, and yet I'd be hard-pressed to find something else in my very theoretical CS education that (a) was easier to learn (it's the most hand-w

    "Accidentally" also implies intent though. Maybe just "leaves training area." :)

    I'm also not an expert, but I suspect a confounding problem is the fact that they eyes never stop moving, even when it feels to us like we're looking at a single point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_moveme
