Why not just write a ruby to JS transpiler? I imagine the yacc grammar could be translated to jison ( http://zaach.github.io/jison/ ) , and it's really easy to grab those script tags (e.g. https://github.com/Niggler/scriptify.js/blob/mast

It uses another auto trick: if the leading character is '=', the result is treated as a formula. Thus, you can actually write formulas in your CSV and excel will interpret appropriately: $ cat test.csv =1+1,="1-5" $ open -a Mi

If you are generating the CSV yourself, save yourself some agony and just wrap the text in ="" $ cat test.csv ="12.34567890124312341234123412341234",="1-5" $ open -a Microsoft\ Excel test.csv

'CSV save as format does not properly handle Unicode' [MS-XLS] ends up using special codepages (e.g. http://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MICSFT/WINDOW... ) for representing characters, so you need to make sure the same codepage

Would you call it 5 or 6 blades (given that there's a single blade in the back and 5 in the front)?

Fusion is more expensive and, I'd imagine, has higher margins than Mach 3. They still make both. (I'd like to see priceonomics write a blog post about the razor blade model)

Did you try doing it via XP mode?

Many of the complaints are absolutely legitimate and have nothing to do with sinking tesla. For example: " the fuel savings calculator nestled among these references to the buyback program defaults to driving 15,000 miles per year. Nowhere

Is Ars just ripping sites now? Although now changed, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5505890 pointed to an Ars article from yesterday (that reached the front page) that was basically a copy-paste of an SE question

" some how figures out how to credit you with the bandwidth you use while its on your home screen." This is the bothersome part of the ad proposal: who pays for the bandwidth? And I'm guessing facebook is expecting users to bear that cost.

DJ got publicity, Ars got page views, and we get an opportunity to demonstrate basic chemistry competency. Everyone wins.

Google is a 258B market cap company (as per yesterday's closing price). They can afford to give hundreds of these packages, even if they diluted the stock, without moving the needle too much.

"Long ago, there was an iOS library known as Three20." What exactly happened with it? The website ( http://three20.info/ ) seems to suggest that it hasnt been touched in years.

hellbanning has the fringe benefit that those who have been hellbanned aren't necessarily aware of it, which means they are less likely to register for another account.

"From what I can tell - he didn't submit this story here" The user that submitted the article is "ibrahimcesar" and the contact address in the post is "email@ibrahimcesar.com", so there's a nonzero chance the author submitted the story here

The reason for hellbanning is https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5413912 "Adria Richards is an evil cunt. SendGrid is a shit company that I would never want to work for." Not exactly stellar material.
