That’s an interesting meta-idea. Have any more thoughts on its implementation that you’d care to share? I started going off on a mental tangent about how an algorithm would extend a WiFi hotspot’s expiration on your frequency / number

Never ceases to amaze me the options (no pun intended) that OS X developers put hidden in the simplest of system apps. Makes them so versatile. I remember as a stupid middle-schooler thinking I was being cool showing everyone how many <o

For JS usage, I am actually - on the whole - a big fan of moment. However, I agree with you that the mutability of its core object instances is odd. Would also like to know why this design choice was made.

Thanks for this! As a non-ML'er (for lack of a better term), I enjoyed seeing how simple it could be to port this kind of amazing stuff into a JS app :)

I remember coming to SE Asia a couple of years ago, and finding it amazing how I could order an Uber with the same app / account that I do in the West (albeit only from major, supported cities). However, returning recently, for me (at
