I know it's silly, but I can't help using the ratio of replies in HN "Who is Hiring" to "Who wants to be hired" threads as a finger in the air for the current market. Right now it's the lowest I've ev

Good idea. But now I'm imagining devs as sommeliers, picking out floral notes and hints of oak.

I'm becoming convinced that using the phrase "code smell" might as well be a "smell" itself. Maybe it's just me, but I've only heard the phrase used as a rhetorical mask for a developer to express some ind

Those studies seem to point out the differences between virtual and brick-and-mortar charter schools. It's not surprising to me that virtualized classrooms have worse outcomes. We're all very aware now of the limitations of video

Well, I don't personally identify with either side of the political divide, but it seems like increasing the quality of educational outcomes for our nation's children should be a primary concern with basic bipartisan agreement. Wi

If the reason is that students are being homeschooled or going to private schools, then this seems like great news. It's well known that the public school system in the US is just not up to snuff. Not all public schools are bad, but on

This seems very similar to Workflowy, which is meant as a compliment. Scriptability is a huge feature here, and something that WF users have been asking about for a long time. If you could offer this on multiple devices & OSes, and prov

If Factorio took place on Earth, that would be pretty dark. But, remember the backstory is that you've crash-landed your spaceship on an alien world filled with giant hostile insects who will attack you when you get too close, even if

I love this and I'm going to use it for fancy comments in code and in the browser console. It'd be really cool if you could integrate something like http://www.figlet.org/ for inserting ASCII text art. I wish I ha

Good point. Spotify uses the term "monthly listeners" and it seems like they do mean unique individuals. That number is 6M for Young, but they don't reveal what it is for Rogan. He's claimed that he gets 200M monthly dow

I don't know if there is one yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if a successful accelerator DAO emerges. People here always say the value of YC is in the network, and that may translate well to a decentralized model.
