If you want to ping me with what you are looking to build and your programming experience level I can recommend more specific resources. jon [at] calhoun.io Many resources (like my book) are targeting absolute beginners so they are a bit le

Your first request is tricky because it can lead to issues down the road if done poorly, so it is hard to just give a quick example of it. I wrote about this subject recently (see https://www.calhoun.io/pitfalls-of-context-v

YC is only 3 months. Last I checked they still expect you to come to the bay area, but only for those 3 months. After that you can do as you please. I know this may be challenging in some situations, but I doubt YC could offer the same valu

What you get with each company varies from city to city so it is hard to know exactly what your experience will be with Lyft, especially if they are just starting out in your area as drivers might be a little harder to find at first. On top

It is a relative term. I use it here because most introductory posts about encoding/decoding in go (like https://blog.golang.org/json-and-go ) don't touch on these at all. Instead many people figure each of these o

Which specific example do you mean, and do you have any suggestions on how to improve it? I felt this was a good approach given how aliasing builds off of it, but I may have missed a better approach. These are just ones that have worked wel

It would be awesome to see a service that just offered user testing with feedback like you just gave. I have no idea how big that market is, but I suspect a lot of developers are like myself - not opposed to making a site more accessible bu

There are basically two numbers here: 1. Net usage after selling off excess energy 2. Net usage assuming there is no demand for excess when you have it (maybe everyone on the grid has solar panels) Achieving 100% in #1 is great and I applau

Has anyone used both Bookdown and Softcover [1] to compare the two? Softcover is something similar written in ruby that uses a combination of markdown with latex where necessary to generate HTML, PDF, ePub, and mobi book formats. It is what

To clarify, are you suggesting that someone was indicted based purely on a Reddit post? If so, that in itself is scarier than anything else being discussed here. To assume Reddit is a unedited source of truth is just insane. Why people felt

A few points: 1. Cracked screens are incredibly easy to fix, so the one example you can give that doesn't cost an arm and a leg is the one thing that arguably any random repair shop should be able to do. 2. Not everyone even lives near

Some new cars (and likely some older ones) offer paddle shifters and other ways to kinda pretend to be a manual. Eg most Subarus have this now. As someone who preferred cars with a manual transmission until recently, the paddle shifters are
