Steve, it is outstandingly awesome that you did this and also how you did this! Thanks.

I tend to read my own code in bed on the phone after I commit. The new Bitbucket interface really dropped the ball on this. It is almost unusable. I hope they’ll fix it...

They ran an experiment. Users reported that eating pizza with a fork was much preferred to eating it with chopsticks. The Chinese version may differ though. They’ll test this later if the party allows.

> a 2k treadmill only lasts 2 years? Don’t know. Never bought a 2k treadmill. (Simple treadmills last to 50c a mile. I think it is a reasonable price).

I bought 3 treadmills over the past 6 years and ran [2 of them] till the motors burned. And this why they say: YMMV ;)

No peak JS in sight. But, on a historical note, 2018 will probably go down as the year of “peak WordPress”. All “patch” releases, nothing else: https://wordpress.org/news/category/releases/

It’s that regex joke paraphrased: You have a problem: you have no connections. You organize your life such that you send an uncomfortably large number of interesting emails. Now you have two problems. Jokes aside, life is short, don’t

You are missing the point, it’s a feature not a bug. Single-switch is commonly installed with the top-pressed-in meaning “on”. For multiway-switch the position is not a status indicator. Both types of switches can be present in multiple pla

It is very common to have multiple switches controlling the same light (example: two switchs on both side of the bed controlling a single ceiling light). The position of an electrical switch is not designed to signal the status of what it c

This is sage advice. The opportunities of your later years are derived from how you've spent your younger ones. A brand-name employer early in life may not "be-all and end-all" but it is a very, very good idea, if you can mak

It should be one of those things that are self-evident, but since YC backed this “thing” I guess it is not. So in the shortest possible form: There exist an imbalance of power between the people “on the inside” (or “on the couch”) and the p

> it's controversial to build a recruiting-focused company that charges job seekers instead of just the companies. There is no controversy. It’s just plain wrong.

This comes on top of Marked[1], so it is a dependency. Use with care. From my experience any of the trio, Marked[1], Showdown[2] and Markdown-it[3], can be configured to just do it themselves. As a side note, I built a markdown editor once

One of the “weak” points a startup has is the brand perception. Some-role at FANG sounds more impressive than same-role at a no-name startup. Even the startups themselves like to brag that they were started by alumni of brand name employers

Brian, you are reading it wrong. That was an observation. And specifically you are reading the term “no x other than y” wrong. It actually means x is an attribute of y, or a group, and y is of importance. As in “no player other than LeBron”

Nicely done. It’s interesting that such a simple need (editing a readme) is so not trivial. Anyway, I built a similar tool once, with the github style sheet but with “in place editing” rather than side-by-side (and some other “experimental

I meant an offer, not an “offer”. I don’t think there was one. I might be wrong tough and Feross is around here. If he’d want to clarify I’m sure he can. So can Chad, btw. But it’s been almost 8 years, so...

I think that: Privacy best practice is to know nothing, or as little as possible, about the user. If storing progress is required, and local device storage is not sufficient, a minimalist online setup is the desirable solution. An automatic

False assertion. I once operated a free service with 10Ks of users. When I sold it I refused to sell the user data. This dropped the value of the transaction to a fraction of the original offer. So, maybe a lot of , but not every .
