Yeah, the font-size and line-height are a bit much.

This is amazing. I really hope this picks up and becomes production ready. What technical factors could prevent this from being used in production? (not right now, but in the future)

I thought Hy already used persistent data structures? If not, then it should! :)

Why isn't Google facing the same issues Microsoft faced back in the Windows + IE dominant days?

Good point. The "good news" cited in the short article weren't really news were they? They were more statement of facts. The roads remained open. The trains remained on time. That's not new. Could be a combination of bad

Interesting idea, and I hope it works in the both short term and long term. As an outsider (and just overall uninformed about politics), since CounterPAC is transparent, is it an additional incentive for politicians to be associated with Co

Yeah I'm gonna bring it up next time I attend a meetup. :) Hopefully I'll find out something like it already happens and I just wasn't aware!

Not just you. Sublime's find is anything but.

I hope they at least keep it in read-only mode. Oh god, all those dead links.

I love Erlang (and it's younger sibling Elixir). I love reading about it. I enjoy following tutorials about it. I love its simplicity. But when I try to come up with scenarios/ideas where Erlang might be a good fit, I realize I&#x

The internet, as a neural network, "dreams" of cat videos when they go viral. Huh. In fact, it "decides" for itself which ones should go viral. Interesting thought.

If there's one thing Go did right, it's the logo/mascot. (sorry for OT)

There should have been 2 options for "I continue to use Dropbox despite being against the appointment of Rice" and "I continue to use Dropbox, with no opinion about the Board".

I think of it as $20 less without the power adapter. Most people probably already have a USB-capable power adapter. No reason for the Kindle to cost extra for a redundant accessory.

I think their biggest mistake was assuming Gruber would react professionally/maturely.

I started with purcell's config as well. I did two separate attempts at getting started from scratch, and it was just too much. Using purcell's config made me somewhat productive in a week. Now I'm starting to do my own chang

The proposed icon is hard to parse. Better an open lock? And maybe in orange instead of jarring red. Or even better, make the secure icon something universally positive, like a green smiley face or a check mark. Then the insecure icon can b

Love pinboard and love the pricing scheme. I wonder how much work goes into maintaining the site? I'm guessing this is his full-time job?

Cool! Does he have plans to write an article about his experience writing this in React? That would be an interesting read, especially since it's open source.
