Sounds like a cool idea, I don't need it at the moment but I do have a few questions: 1) What happens if you don't deliver in 24 hours? Can I bet my business on your promises? 2) What is your copyright assignment language? I'

Seems to be trying to fit Haskell into Go, which is probably not what you want to do. What exactly do "sum types" get you that a more direct implementation does not? This may be a case where the simplified example isn't descr

Yes, and double the issue of cause-and-effect with a huge lack of controlling variables. How does the language of the repository and/or number of developers with experience in that language correlate with number of contributors or star

As someone with a PhD... yes. It was good for me and my career plans... but I actively tell people NOT to pursue one in this job/funding climate. I know quite a few people who basically have no aspirations past the PhD, and hence no re

um. I guess I retract my "closed source" comment and amend it to "not open source". 234M .app seems pretty heavyweight - do you really need all these node packages in the bundle? If I'm running localhost, why do I n

There are so many times when I've remembered a random sentence I read and wanted to find the article to quote again later. This is perfect! Like others here, I'm very curious about your business model, especially since this is clo

WTF. I click the link "Get started with fabric" and start the signup process, and then it says "we'll be in touch" like this was a beta invite-only thing? Seriously false advertising. I doubt I'll look at it, e

I wonder if they're not releasing that info so they have the ability to lower the price if Apple TV makes any price cuts/big features tomorrow.

It's a neat analysis from a mathematical perspective, but (especially for a rotating component like this) wouldn't the lighting be all wrong for the remapped pixels? The slow-speed scanning examples use a fixed image (note the hig

How in the world would remote wiping a lost card work? It only supports bluetooth from what I can find, so you'd have to be nearby?

Great news! Can we add endpoints for "Show HN" and "Ask HN" too though? I don't see an easy way to get them.

I can't see any more detail than your very sparse splash page. Bigger screenshot? walkthrough video? anything? You haven't sold me enough on the product to get my email address yet.

I agree a bitset is probably a better use here, but this may be a case where the requirements or actual usage numbers tilt the design this way? I'm guessing if the size of the vector is very large, and the set bits are very sparse, the

For small contracts, I usually ask for half up-front and half at delivery. Medium-size might be in thirds with the second payment invoiced when they get the prototype. For large contracts I tend to do monthly payments with a little bit of f

You should definitely go. But I want to add another point not being mentioned: Make sure you have the offer officially in writing before telling your employer. I know of a number of people who were burned when something fell through on the

That's pretty interesting too, I'm going to play with it. Thanks! I recently stumbled across the standard expvar package[1] which lets me debug memory usage and annotated metrics. Similar concept from a different angle I guess. 1.

Me: "Write down $0 and I'll talk to you after I've met the team" I'm not a junior dev, but if this happened to me I'd probably walk before even getting to that (with a short message to the interviewer telling t

Personally, I would have responded with something along the lines of "I'll let you know once I meet the team - I'm not comfortable answering that question yet"

Wow I had not stumbled across this idea yet... Are there any caveats or downsides to PDF over PNG? (other than xib/storyboard issues you mention)

Great post. I think just as UX has been growing as a field, CLI apps are surprisingly lacking in this arena. I guess technical types just assumes other technical types are willing to dig in and figure it out... but really, ALL CLI apps shou

AFAICT, in my limited experience with irods and reading through the dat docs. Is that irods is mainly a data distribution mechanism. Whereas dat here seems to be the a generic ETL framework (data extraction and munging).

Sounds intriguing... Is it something rule-based where I have to define things ahead of time, or can it infer stuff - for example highlighting outliers in an automatically detected numeric field?

It's a fun data set to explore, but without the ability to compare interaction effects the UI doesn't allow you to get very deep into the data. Also, it'd be nice to be able to filter out the highly correlated tables. Otherwi

I understand why you want to trade in on the Redis name and brand, but this is NOT an "Implementation of Redis" in any way as far as I can tell. This is a facsimile of a subset of the commands available in redis.

Came here to say the same. I also love that they assume 15%/year maintenance even for the first year of colocation!
