   I mainly brought up Google Docs because it's something that many of us use that breaks us from "living in the terminal". Someone who "lives in the terminal" would want all of Google Doc's functionality, but in

   Many of these actions seem like something you'd just never do in GUI though? Except maybe some of the CSV stuff.

   Honestly curious - why do people live mostly in their terminal? Is it a productivity thing?

    Did that quarter-second lag kill anyone? Was there someone who wouldn’t have died if the ePCR was just a little bit faster, fast enough to be usable? And the people who built it: did they ask the same questions? Did they say “premature opt

    Agreed. Most of the tone here is definitely way too cynical. The most legit feedback is probably around the proprietary language. Not because learning a new language is that bad, but that a "feature" of most languages is the ecosy

    I understand why Slack would want to stay away from an open protocol, since their business is so tied to building a moat around keeping businesses on Slack. Everything they do is to make Slack better and stickier for businesses. A counterpo

    Honestly if you made videos or blog posts that explain how to figure out high-quality clothes, I would immediately subscribe. The blog post that's posted here on HN is short on images & video, which I feel like is really necessary

    Do you have any images that do a side-by-side comparison? Or do you have to just go see for yourself?

    Substack seems like a not-horrible acq target for Medium, if Medium has the funds to buy it. Many content creators appear to trust Substack and trust the potential to earn money on it. The acquisition would be worth it for the trust alone.

    It sounds like people here have been recommending Wyoming or Nevada over Delaware, for bootstrappers. Can anyone explain why, or point to a blog post that compares forming LLC's in Wyoming/Nevada vs. Delaware?

    I mostly agree w/ you! > They don't need GrubHub This part I disagree :-) A lot of restaurants depend on GrubHub for their livelihoods.

    Perhaps! But remember that wouldn't work as well for merchants that use GrubHub Delivery drivers. And many restaurants owners aren't that tech-savvy.

    To be honest, not a great look from Matt. It's entirely possible that a lot of this was a misunderstanding, since microsites is literally a product feature that GrubHub sales folks use to sell to restaurant owners (among several, sever

    GrubHub also runs Google Ads to push GrubHub results to the top of search results. SEO is a core part of their strategy, in the name of driving business to restaurants. I'm sure many businesses don't care and don't mind, as l

    It feels like we can have a balanced approach - show appreciation if someone really went out of their way to do something, but acknowledge that it's not sustainable for everyone to put in 150%. You can't just completely take out t

    This has less to do with "parseInt" than it has to do with "map" in JavaScript. It doesn't work exactly like .map in Java, Ruby, Elixir, etc., because ".map" in JS also passes in the index, and the full ar

    I think it's mostly the REPL that allows for quickly spiking out things, with quick feedback. Elixir has a similar experience, but less of the warts you get with Ruby (like monkeypatching).
