Thanks for sharing; I feel the same way you do, and you've put in into words more succinctly that I could have. In the name of accuracy, I'd just like to point out that the athlete was probably say he was "hoping to medal in

Thanks for the heads up. I'll definitely watch for this next time I move.

There are plenty of third party ISPs that offer plans without data caps. I've used Start.ca for a few years now and I've been very happy with the service. Mobile is indeed quite awful, though.

As a (mostly) front-end developer, I agree that reading some of the code in your node_modules can be enlightening. Sometimes in a good way, sometimes in a bad way. There have been times when I've dug into a module when something wasn&#

And Air Canada kept it in service until 2008, so it kept on doing a good job for a long time afterward.

Many airliners glide quite well - they can glide quite a bit further from a given altitude than can general aviation aircraft that are (probably) more likely to run into a scenario where they'll need to glide. Air Transat 236 managed t

I remember reading about this in Reader's Digest back in the 80s, or possibly early 90s. One of the passengers mentioned that during the last-minute sideslip manoeuvre, he could almost tell what clubs the golfers on the course below th

This is a late reply, but... Are you sure CoffeeScript has lost momentum? It now supports ES2015 imports and exports, and I've seen quite a bit of work on the 2.0 branch (and various forks where contributors are adding new work before

It didn't mention firing anyone. When I see 'layoff' used in the context of manufacturing, it usually means something more like an furlough (i.e. the laid off employees stay home and don't get paid until the company has

I think it is reasonable to avoid political subjects that are off topic. Which is difficult, I know, because on-topic for HN is literally 'Anything that good hackers would find interesting.' Perhaps, for politics, it would be good

Sure it can. They can just say something like "IE9+ is supported, but features x and y won't work". There are plenty of libraries that officially support IE, even when there are problems in a few small cases. They usually jus

As others have pointed out, people being mean, angry complainers when something doesn't work the way they want it to isn't unique to the programming or open source communities. I think some of us are bothered by it because we tend

It's also a very ambiguous question that's hard to answer properly without asking for far more detail. For example - what do they mean by "know"? What you think it means can be very different from how the investigators

Looks like a great book! I think I'll have to buy a copy. It's interesting that you found the attention the HN post brought helped you focus and finish the book. Lately, I've been trying to pay more attention to the Show HN s

I found the interesting part of that chapter was creating a macro to ingest search clauses and generate 'where' functions to search the MP3 database.

Although not true in all cases, many of those cities that were built before the distinct concept of urban planning existed were also built and grew large before cars existed. So they grew naturally in in a way that's fairly pedestrian

I've had great experiences ordering glasses from goggles4u. I'm not sure if they still do it, but the outside of every package I received from them had a cloth wrapper that was sealed with wax, pretty much identical to this one:

Ha, sounds like a good part 2 to me! :) As you pointed out, you did allude to it in the article. I was just trying to add a bit more based on first hand experience with software customers. And hey, sometimes customers will just flat out t

I agree that doing more listening than speaking when talking to customers is important. It's also important to remember that customers will tell you they want features they they won't actually use or pay for. So it's necess

It's worth a try! If you're looking for a good editing environment for it, There's a good VS Code Haxe extension that works well - it has code completion and a few other nice features. And if you're ever unhappy with the

To cover the cases where I want to use something a bit cleaner while still interacting with the PHP ecosystem, I've been using Haxe and compiling it to PHP. I've found that it works quite well; it compiles into nice, readable code

I don't think it's technically proper English. It's just a way that some people in some parts of the US sometimes speak. At least, that's what I, as a Canadian, have noticed during a lifetime of watching US TV shows. Now

Hi Chris, Picking up freelance work will be more difficult (but certainly not impossible!) if you're a student without a lot of professional experience. Most of the freelancing websites are a bloodbath race to the bottom where everyone

They're definitely similar. The Mentat logo has more triangles in different positions. The exterior shape is similar, though Gitlab has a flat section in the middle and Mentat doesn't. It's subjective, but the Mentat logo is

It sounds like the free tier lets people do the same things as the paid tier and only limits quantity, so people are just stacking free accounts to get around paying for it. Maybe this isn't the best way to segment your market? It depe
