Haha! Love the logo! In terms of use: the search results seem good when searching a specific thing, but results can be a bit less useful when searching something generic like "python directory utility". I'm not sure I can see

How are the graphs being done? I'd like to look at using them for a project.

Yeah, I had that issue. Couldn't progress past the second text box of the tutorial because of it. I'm using Safari on an MBP.

I didn't get into IRC much until about 5 years ago where one of the frameworks I was using was just starting to pick up steam. The dev and several experienced users would hang out in there and would help answer questions. Now, I look f

This was a nice article. I've enjoyed running this 2048-ai[0] every now and then. It's fun to turn on the browser extension and watch it go. It's come quite a long way from the earlier versions. [0] https://github.c

As a rider, I use Uber and Lyft interchangeably to get a roughly stable price whenever I come to work. This price is about 40% more than what I would like to pay based on my budget, but I don't have a choice but to pay it sometimes bec

I Really like the style. I think the Google Font[0] page makes it much easier to see it in action. I hope someone makes a variant with coding ligatures. It appears that it does not support the polytonic Greek characters on OSX, though it sh

I think I learned the ins and outs of coding a lot better by doing it by hand. Perhaps it helps reinforce and understand what you're doing. But, I see it being the same as being forced to do your math exams without a calculator in scho

For someone who doesn't use Ruby what changes contribute to this? Is it just the JIT implementation or are there other factors? Is this reflected in real-world usage or only under certain loads, which this benchmark favors?

Have you considered the SE? It's been a pretty reliable phone, it's durable, has a lot of the nicer features of the newer models, but still has a headphone jack, a decent battery life (though my battery is in need of a replacement

I'm sure you probably tested this with your particular needs, but just in case you haven't: five seconds is a long time and there are many forms that can be filled out by humans in less than that. I stepped on my own toes once set

There are 2 hard problems in programming: - Cache invalidation - Naming things - Off by 1 errors. This solves 50% of the problem. By not having to think about names, nor about clicking around in the UI all I have to think about is code and

I like the push to create project feature. Lowers the barrier to entry that much more when I can just take a repo and push it without having to think about config & setup beforehand.

How about ch units? Heard someone mention it recently and am curious if people are using it. There is often a need to confine a layout to a certain amount of characters and it seems that this unit is better than rem/em for those cases.

Ah, had the wrong name, but that's what I was referring to with my discussion of "Zoom". I love the magnifier and use it all the time.

See the links I posted in my reply to another comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16343367 . There's some good information in those talks about how you can tackle mapping information.

Your comment reminded me of the talks on the issue of information display for Matplotlib[0][1]. I think a lot of design is done without awareness of accessibility and this is more broadly a cultural thing than a technical thing. The situati

Wow, pretty nice so far. Sequel Pro has been my main workhorse, but the fact that it's MySQL only has often left me looking for other tools. It would be great to see better support for relationships and triggers and such like Sequel pr

The PHP version looks like it hasn't been touched since 2011 and the Python link is dead. Doesn't give much confidence that this is a viable and supported pathway to Db <-> Application communication.

From a cursory glance at the BASH one it seems pretty well organized and thorough. It is not overloaded with information, but gives a good overview of what's possible. Some specific things I noticed in the BASH book: it says this about

Pretty expansive. Might be fun to see a gamified version where you could compare your own personal skill competency with your friends & coworkers.
