Holy crap that's super useful. For whatever reason I never could figure out (or remember) a shortcut for the 'filldown button'. Instead I would copy the cell I wanted, and then control+arrow my way to the fill destination, sh

Thanks for posting. Wasn't really aware what Brutalist actually was - turns out one of my favorite buildings downtown is on this list. (and safe, for now)

> No one on the planet has yet to save an Evite. Brilliant. Great little article. Doubt it will do much to overall typewriter usage (I also don't think that is his point, really) but you have to admire his passion.

Yup, exactly this. And cautious is putting it nicely, I think. Tack on regulatory risk and you have an extremely strong headwind against any sort of major change.

Does anyone have a good replacement for this? I somehow missed the original announcement and am now realizing that I'm one of those (apparently few) people who actually does use the API.

We would always roll two d10 for 1-100. You would call one as the "tens" die before you rolled, but inevitably, this would be a great opportunity to fudge things a bit. Rolled a 19? Oh.. well actually I meant that the RED one was

You captured a particular feeling I have as well - perfect!

I've been paying for newsblur ( http://www.newsblur.com/ ) ever since google reader bit the dust. It's pretty much a direct replacement. Interface has come a long way since day one and is sufficiently slick now (UI,

My problem with Nethack was that it actually becomes too win-able, once you know the dominant strategy. There is very little variability in building a successful "ascension kit". Early game strategies can vary and some can be quit

Thanks for replying.. I didn't realize that all actually happened. Scary stuff.

After reading The Drone Papers (fascinating reporting done by The Intercept) I can certainly believe all of this. I hope it's true and I hope this man can have his story told (and more importantly, believed) as far up as possible. htt

Thanks. I edited my comment - wasn't able to get through to the spreadsheets before, but I see what's going on now, I think.

The demos all look really great! I got really excited at first, wondering if this all took place inside Excel. Realizing now that's not quite what is going on here but probably aiming for a similar experience.

You may be weird, but not for this reason. :) Juno brings back lots of memories for me as well. I remember having a very hard time convincing everyone it was 'free'.

Oh man. Thank you so much for posting this - it looks really well developed and surprisingly mature. (Or maybe I shouldn't be surprised?) Anyways, I'm sure my wife will ha^H^H love you for giving me another "fun" home pr

Not only has he been maintaining POWDER for that long, but Jeff Lait has also been putting out 7-day roguelikes annually for most of those years as well, including Fatherhood: http://www.zincland.com/7drl/fatherhood&#x2

Definitely not calling you irrational - I really was just curious. I actually find your analysis pretty straight on. I realize now that part of the reason I like Coffeescript is because I like the way it looks! I'm more of a hobbyist,

I think that is a start. I actually live in a neighborhood near Kirkwood and have had similar thoughts and experiences as the guy in this article. Guilt is sort of the word for it, but not quite. I think the simple fact of recognizing privi

Can I ask why? Just out of legitimate curiosity. I don't work with a lot of other developers.

Right there with you. I was generally aware (mostly from HN) that it seemed less popular than when I started using it -- but _dread_? Surprising. I really enjoy it.

Try KeeperRL: http://keeperrl.com/ Started getting some attention in the roguelike world but it's really not a traditional roguelike... just an awesome Dungeon Keeper-esque game.

This looks really cool but I'm not 100% sure what it is for. Googling produces fairly generic results - can anyone point me towards some practical use cases for microservices?

Ug. Carousel solved so many problems for me. Is it just that people don't like having multiple apps? Is the barrier to entry too high? I thought carousel struck a nice balance in not really forcing anyone to use the app, if they were s
