   I'm working on a project that overlaps slightly (only with this feature). Would you be open to offering programmatic access in the future via an API?.

   This argument that certain areas _only_ support grass / ruminants gets brought up a lot but isn't accurate. Grasslands are some of the richest areas for growing plant-based crops in the USA.

   Animals need even more water and space, both for themselves and for the huge amount of plant crops we grow to feed them. Which one do you think is more effecient to eat?

   I guess maybe you were trying to give OP some tough love here but it came off a bit misguided to me. I think it all depends what your philosophy towards work is and what you want to do with life. Your analogy kind of illustrated this, at le

   I picked up iOS/Swift this year from React. Any advice going the other direction?

   It's a fair point and something I think about. For what it's worth I feel exploiting a development niche is a reasonable strategy and the core language is open source. What would you pick if you wanted to change directions?.

   Personally I can't wait, javascript is miles ahead of where it was 5 years ago but it's still pretty painful to use on large, longer running projects with bigger teams. I once enjoyed it enough and now dread starting a project in

   Sorry to hear you got fired, good luck finding a new gig. I guess RN or Flutter make sense if you're building for both, I'm not totally against it I just like the idea of using the tools the platform gives you. But I admit it migh

    The problem with a heavy bundle isn't just delivery it's parsing and execution the bundle aswell.

    Thanks for the detailed answer, regarding the downturn in interested I guess I figured as much. It seems that it's focus has shifted to extending and supporting established products rather than being a flagship platform in itself. On t

    This makes sense thanks, so offering a wider array of services is potentially a better strategy, given my background and experience. I imagine being able to build the API/backend layer, web and mobile client is desirable to some and yo

    I think this would be pretty difficult to study since there isn't "one" vegan diet. It differs radically depending on where someone is and what they choose to eat and the complexity of food distribution. On the surface removi

    The point of the warning is to indicate that it's intended purpose is to be used with other elastic open source projects like elasticsearch and kibana. It's not a general purpose UI kit like the rest of those links.

    I know you probably didn't intend it but the first part of this comment comes off a bit elitist with the feigned shock of someone making a mistake on hn.

    Purifying and moving that water around uses energy. Maybe it's negligible maybe it's not, depending on where you live. Regardless, the seeming abundance of a natural resource doesn't mean that you should willfully waste it. I
