   Just a word of advice as someone who also released a Jekyll theme - people will not remember to change the default settings. So I would recommend you put an "example.com" email instead of your personal email in the repo (unless yo

   You mean like `bundle install` or `pip install -r requirements.txt` or `npm install package.json`? I mean, it's great that Go has something similar, but it's not like other languages are missing dependency managment...

   I like it - sounds very similar to Josh Kaufman's "The First 20 Hours". His thesis is that you won't become an expert in 20 hours, but you can become competent enough at something to turn it into an enjoyable hobby (and

   And with Blizzard getting a cut of the Real Money Auction House sales, there seems to be little incentive for them to really crack down on this. The perfect "crime"! Blizzard gets some extra revenue, deep pocket players have a con

   Would you rather grind for hundreds of hours to maybe get a rare item, or freelance for an hour and spend that $100 on the item you want?

   I don't really buy the "big win" over Sinatra ("much DRYer", no need to set ivars for each action) because you can just use a `before` block with wildcard routes. before '/artist/:id*' do

   Awesome - I mentioned this 400+ days ago when the platform API was announced! Cool to see it getting rolled out, looking forward to playing around with this. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5793441 EDIT: Setup was pret

    When you run Jekyll, it spits out an `_site` folder - which is the generated HTML/CSS/JS of your site. Locally, when you run the Jekyll server it generates the site and then serves from that folder for you to preview. With GitHub

    I realize this is pretty naive of me, but I'll ask in the hopes of learning something: Why does a VC care about sustainability or the company getting disrupted? Wouldn't they just want to grow fast and big enough to get a return a

    Would be happy to pay the $5 to be able to use this as an addon in Sublime Text (or Atom/vim/emacs/whatever you like) instead of having to use your editor app. I don't like having to switch to a new editor for writing. A

    Absolutely feel your pain. Google developers say to use Fragments for everything in the I/O Fireside Chat. Some leading non-Google developers say not to use Fragments at all. Some devs say one Activity per screen. Some devs say one Act

    I love the idea, but the selection is not good enough (for me) yet. I keep an Amazon wishlist as a "reading queue" and none of the 60 books (technical, business, pop-psych) in it were available on Kindle Unlimited. I usually buy 2

    I've seen this type of analysis referred to as looking at the "shape of the code" and I personally like that metaphor. If you see any "clumps" or "spiky edges", that might be a sign to investigate further

    I believe each service has it's own queue, so producing an event would "fan-out" and add the event to each queue. That was my interpretation of why they were using both SNS and SQS - but I could be mistaken. If a particular s

    A slight spin on that assumption that I've seen in some lean startup materials is to assume that "software delivery is constant and guaranteed" - which is used to help move the identification of risk away from technology and
