Had a similar idea, was too lazy to implement it. Good luck and I hope this takes off. https://github.com/andreis/ideas#github-comments PS: There's also gitter.im, but it's not super useful for small repos.

My first thought was "this already exists, it's called HN/reddit/producthunt/etc" then I realised most of the times I upvote items just because they have a lot of upvotes/comments. Side project idea: HN&#x

Of course, nobody needs more than 640K of memory either. Seriously, though, although I'm sure 4K will become somewhat commonplace in 10 years, the rate of progress for desktop screens is ridiculous compared to the mobile world. I still

In case people are wondering, the 150 people dead are from a recent Germanwings crash. https://www.google.com/search?q=germanwings+crash&tbm=nws As someone living in Cologne who flies with them frequently... yikes!

As someone who thinks about making a HTML/CSS/JS replacement at some point in the future, I look forward to these guys completely fucking up the standard.

Macbook + Vagrant, just don't get a MBA. While light and portable, you'll eventually get annoyed at the lack of more oomph.

For me the best bit was "director of product management for Google Now". Were they playing Enterprise FizzBuzz when they came up with the role names?

Wrt the first paragraph: it's almost as if Steve Jobs knew what he was setting up to do. :) I find it a very rare occurrence of respect towards your craft and your customers paying off in the long run.

As a long time user of Momentum, I like how this looks better. I've never seriously used the "main focus for today" feature.

I was going to recommend TransferWise too, more of a second hand recommendation since I haven't used it but I've had several friends praise it.

Thanks for your support, I'll start working on the idea then. I just checked your Gh repos, your productivity is astonishing. Chapeaux! Also, cute handle. I suspect the problem with CSV will be working around the myriad of broken imple

I'm looking forward to playing with cool languages like Rust, Nim, and Elm. But when I read stuff like this I remember why I love using Go every day. Generating binaries for multiple platforms is braindead easy, as is building from s

Are promotions/raises really based on arrest numbers instead of actual performance (hard to quantify as it is)? Who the heck had that brilliant idea?

Most of the stuff I read online can very well be plain markdown files. Most of the stuff I _do_ however can't work without JS. The fact that we're so reliant on JS indicates that the "modern" web stack is in dire need of

Conspiracy theories are bullshit 99% of the time, but you must be an idiot to think it's difficult to stage such a thing. Naivety is not a very cute trait in adults (but probably not as dangerous as chemtrail-type stupidity).

Yeah, we got a Protonet Maya some time ago and it's been pretty much a paperweight + expensive wireless router so far. The software is ambitious but ultimately useless. Funny enough, our biggest boost in communication came from startin

That's exactly what we do, too, except we've bravely switched to scrypt at some point.

At Lavaboom, we simply check against the 10k most used passwords (in memory), but we plan to move to 1 million soon (on disk – account creation is relatively infrequent for the slower access speed to not matter). Our problem is that we SHA

The best part is after checking some guides for disabling this ridiculous feature, it appears that for some brands of cars a minor side effect is that you also disable the car's audio system. :)

What a nice chap. I like and adhere to the opinion prevalent in this thread that we should pay more attention to Accessibility. I personally find I'm conditioned to ignore people with different needs than me when I design products, and
