That's why a lot of companies like this offer big education discounts, so that university students get to use it for free and get hooked.

They're completely skipping over the complications of header rows and front matter. "8. Reverse CSV is still valid CSV" is not true if there are header rows for instance. But really, whether or not CSV is a good format or not

Ohh.. "the +/- 1 square" means a square of size 2 centred around the origin? That was way too terse for me.

This is very cool. Needs a bit of UI love for mobile. If you break down tasks 3 levels deep in becomes unusable.

Is this still true if you're using metric? Just curious, as the Frink examples were all imperial. And examples like `10 feet 12 feet 8 feet -> gallons` are much less compelling in metric (eg, 3 metres x 4 metres x 2 metres in cubic

That definitely happens here in Aus, but I'd still prefer that over a brand new phone left on the verandah.

Still, handing the package to a person that was inside the house is much better odds than leaving it outside.

Wait, is it really common to deliver high value packages to completely insecure locations like this in the US? They never do that here in Australia. Either sign for it, or you get a card saying where you can go and pick it up, with ID.

Huh, I totally forgot about Pivotal Tracker. There was a phase where every project I was on used it. The killer feature was the UI. When the alternative was basically JIRA, Pivotal was so quick and easy to use. That front page view that let

Calling it a "note" is a bit confusing. I'd call it a self-modifying editable single-file web app.

Really well built, and I love the tutorial... BUT Jeepers, it starts off so hard compared to the tutorial. 1. I was not expecting bubbles to move (since they are all static in the tutorial). 2. I wasn't expecting a golf/par scorin

I did not find this very convincing. I suspect it has to do with the author being very comfortable with site-generation tools, and not super comfortable with JavaScript. They don't mention any frameworks (React, Vue etc) so I suspect t

Seems to work just fine. Typically they post a photo of the whole collection, and a text list of the items and prices, which they update as things sell. They're usually wanting to sell more than one game to each buyer, so it's muc

"the seller doing stupid things"? Every single person selling second hand board games is in this position. No one is setting up a single listing for each game. And this is hardly unique to board games. >what can marketplace do

And yet it is so underdeveloped. I'm in a few second hand board groups where every listing is like 20 different games at different prices. They have to put a price, so some people put 0, some put $30 and some put $999,999. I hate buyin
