   Brava! Very clean and thoughtful architecture, especially impressive given your short history with code, and that humbles me, an "old guy" compared to most of the readers here. Well done.

   I want something like a "couch to 5k" for emacs, does that exist? A daily exercise that I can do to go from "couch" (no emacs experience) to "5k" (proficient enough to get shit done with emacs and not miss Subl

   I don't have a question, but an observation, and some unsolicited advice. You said "AMA" hours ago, and haven't returned (as of my comment timestamp) to answer the questions that have been posted here. On HN, the story m

   Are you asking sincerely, or as a passive aggressive commentary about OP's query? If the former: I think, yes, if whistleblowing can motivate change that would prevent fraud. If the latter, OP didn't disclose anything about a spec

   I can heartily recommend Postmark. Generous free credits, excellent API, and one of the best DMARC tools (also free, https://dmarc.postmarkapp.com )

   I don't think that's it at all. It seemed to me to be a purely intellectual curiosity, and one that I share. The logistics of something like the redrawing of property lines after the land itself has moved is well outside of our wh

   Since the comment from the new account mentioning it may be modded away, I'll say (as a recent user, not affiliated with them in any way) that Rodeo is a fairly robust integrated analysis environment, a more immediate kind of Jupyter n

    I agree. And I don't. Let me explain. Discovering that our planet is not a special snowflake would be one of the most inspirational experiences I can dream of. Discovering intelligent life, end more so! Discovering super-intelligent

    Thanks for that answer, that lead me to learn and understand more about standard streams and file descriptors than I ever cared to before! That's a good thing. :) So then, what about this approach: since the de-facto standard streams a

    I'm sorry if I was unclear. If I used the Cloud Speech API to produce the transcript, is there another library/service/etc that would align it to the original audio again.

    Regarding non-streaming transcription: It doesn't seem like the return includes timings, which would limit its usefulness in transcription for accessibility (where, for example, a post-processing step on our side would consume the Clou

    Agreed about positive reinforcement; we use the "heart" in Asana and Slack reactions all the time. These little things become part of a shared visual language that becomes an effective proxy for vocal tone and body language when y

    Also: in your case, the model (pages in your site, content in the tabs) isn't changing, the view is, and the built-in capabilities of the browser as the "controller" are sufficient for a static model. Reacting to a user eve

    What you're calling a module is, in a static site, a page or (maybe) a partial. Livereloading the HTML isn't an expensive operation, and while one might argue that, by shipping the whole page HTML, you're using a chainsaw whe

    I can appreciate the concept, but Hugo/Jekyll/Middleman can let you author the original "component" pages and automatically generate a nice, simple <nav> element with an unordered list (or ordered list, if it'

    I'm imagining a world where coreutils and built-ins all respect an environment variable, say STDOUT_JSON=1 , and would output JSON. That would be a great start. Especially if the JSON-Schema could be output with a new built-in, manj

    That's the browser's job. It's the default controller. The model isn't changing state. The controller is translating the same static content over and over. Browsers already do that in "reacting" to user's

    It's clever. It's well done. I'm not the audience, though. I love React for, you know, "Reactive UI", the "V" of an "MVC" app, but when creating the site's content store (the "static AP

    With respect, I disagree; IRC with a bouncer and a bot would serve those functions handily. The other chat platforms also have mechanisms for groups, sharing files and metadata, and creating social "graphs" via the use of channels
