It's not ironic. Votes here are used to push the best content to the top. On Github you're not looking for the best content you're collaboratively building software so the tools should be designed to foster collaboration.

Indeed, DratKings and Fanduel realized you could create a new type of fantasy sports competition that was still explicitly legal but also allowed for regular, compulsive gambling. It was actually quite clever. The fantasy sports gambling ex

It does seem to be low scale cheating but a culture of writing and distributing internal software to cheat on tests required for certification sounds toxic.

That's ridiculous, coffee has a flavor and that flavor is the true taste of coffee. Well the true taste of the particular coffee you're drinking because different beans and brewing methods create different flavors. It's equal

On one hand this seems openly predatory toward lower income couples who are more likely to divorce and more likely to need the money but on the other I'm surprised that there are investors who want to absorb years of handing out loans,

I've heard services force you to compete on price and drive rates down but I suppose it's worth a shot.

Doesn't it seem like they're trying to do that by announcing they're hiring designers?

I primarily work with Ruby & Javascript. Most of my experience is with Rails but I've made significant contributions to Sinatra and Express/node projects. 1099 would be fine.

Typically that's how I have been working, as a 1099 contractor. The one client I had who fit that description was a developer himself and reached a relatively feature complete point with his application and decided he no longer needed

That's a great point, there is a bit of friction between the idea that if an open source project isn't being actively improved it's dead and Express's mission to be a minimalist framework.

Exactly! And just because free time is better when there are others around doesn't mean that extra days off aren't helpful. I'm a contractor and I regularly have a week or two off between jobs. Sure the weekend is still bette

It's not about "the proper way", no one is telling Zuckerberg that he needs to donate the money. People are calling into question whether his claim that he is donating the money is truthful or not. That's not western, th

I didn't say the skewering was the problem. The book barely scratched the surface of the material that's out there.

Most of the story and the best jokes are in the articles about the book and the included text.

Interesting question but the specific work we're talking about it not going to shape literature. It's shorter than a long magazine piece. A new literature movement doesn't appear to be the ambition here.

I bought the kindle edition and I don't get the hype about this book at all. First of all it's barely a book, it's not even a novella, it's pretty much zine length. It's a 10-15 min read. I'm thinking I made a

So your quote is incredibly depressing then. At least that's cleared up. You do know that there are still artists in the world right? And some of them have even heard of Silicon Valley and startups?

But the practical implementation of CSS that mimics the style of his books completely misses the lessons in the books whether it's an official Tufte project or not. It may be a useful tool but it does not help anyone understand what&#x
