I actually don't want any of those things, not even markdown support. The site IMO does what it needs to very well and I value the minimalism a lot. Would hate to see it cluttered with extra chrome, images, karma, summaries. And instea

It's a good point about whether they should be on public roads. At the same time, it's crucial to their success that they are and experience outlier situations. The hope is that by experiencing an outlier and making a mistake, the

Autopilot marketing is bad and Elon deserves a lot of the blame, but do we still expect to be able to trust these systems enough to not put hands on the wheel and look at the road? IMO we are still in the very early stages of this work in t

If you're worried about FB analyzing/selling your data then "deleting" does nothing. It effectively just sets a boolean flag on a record in a database which is more like 'hiding'. It may not appear anymore in t

I tried and eventually got tired of Jira, Trello, Team Foundation Server, and Pivotal Tracker. The one tool that I've been loving for the past year is http://clubhouse.io . Such a well-designed product and extremely flexible

The only two experiences I had with Pivotal were with RabbitMQ (a very well designed product) and with Pivotal Tracker - I tried it about a year ago. I felt like I was fighting the software; they were extremely stubborn about adhering to Sc

Pivotal also owns RabbitMQ - as of 2013.

It is really time consuming. But somehow more approachable for a non-artist like myself. I've tried freehand drawing but I wasn't happy with the results... I need more knowledge and more practice.

Congrats on the release. One point about the docs - you can cut down on the verbosity of those examples by using arrow functions (instead of .bind) and class properties instead of state initialization in constructors.

CSS Grid really helped me understand/wrangle z-index and stacking contexts. For example, within a grid you can use grid-row/grid-column to position an overlay over a grid item. The z-index will be scoped to that stacking context.

What's the use case for this? You can pretty easily do this already with React + styled-components + CSS grid and still keep it pretty DRY. Would help if you added more/different examples to show what else it can do beyond that fi

Building a game is a probably the best way to learn and apply state machines since a lot of it is all about how to manage state effectively since there are so many pieces of state and interactions between them. Also, since Bob is too humble

I learned about state machines, along with push-down automata and others but these were in a formal automata class where we learned things like the Church-Turing thesis and other similar theory. So there's learning about state machines

Nice! A single server-generated multi-series chart would be nice but if it takes away from the simplicity then that's fine. If you haven't already seen it you can get volume/price/marketcap between a start/end date.
