yeah I mean don't they presume anyone reading that wants to know what happened?

Well, it's interesting that anyone would be concerned about (1) meanwhile probably 99% of open source projects use e.g. github, bitbucket, gmail, etc... If it's an open source project then shouldn't everything be out in the o

it would be nice to have a button to use desktop version at top or bottom.. on iOS it's nice but I also like seeing more headlines at one time

I haven't used ruby but ive been writing python for many years and so the indentation-based syntax definitely something I enjoy. But that said I didn't even use coffeescript until I was forced to while working at a huge media comp

Not trying to make personal rant but just speaking from much personal experience I was replying to a comment (and agreeing) that if we (as a society) are going to be ok with and accept ethanol as legal, it's highly hypocritical. Ask an

> ES6/7 code is much cleaner, clearer, and more idiomatic I'm assuming you're talking about the compiled javascript from coffeescript and not coffeescript itself? I find coffeescript code much, much nicer to read, write, a

> ES6 clearly made Coffee Script less relevant I see that a lot and find it highly subjective. I don't find es6 useful at all and will stick with coffeescript for the foreseeable future but that also has to do with my reasons for us

by tallerholler 11y ago
I completely agree with you but I think another reason some people aren't as keen to coffeescript as others might have to do with their other coding experiences/languages/habits... Coming from many years of python development

by tallerholler 11y ago
imo these (esp indentation) are why I don't plan on abandoning coffeescript any time soon.. es6 be damned!

that's a good argument for using human readable slug.. definitely

How important are human-readable slug components in a social platform's urls?

don't try to figure everything out man. I just turned 32 and I had a "young-life crisis" from 29-31 probably where I didn't know what I wanted to do. My best friends seemed to be more successful than me and I felt like i

this resonates with me... I found myself in a series of bad incidents that pushed me towards escaping with alcohol. then due to my compulsive nature, it spun out of control and I ended up in rehab etc and took 2 years to pull back out. when

I haven't checked but it's a valid point. I think we're going to register the trademark anyways just in case it helps the cause. One of my co-founders says he thinks that registering it after the fact won't have much aff

You have valid points... I think it sucks that people can sit on domains without using them but you can always make the argument for why they should be allowed to. So now I have to decide between a .tv or .io domain (or hey I can use .rocks

> If it's okay to own a company without that information being public, then why not a domain? Because domains are finite and hold more importance to a business than an actual business name does and by allowing private registration

by tallerholler 11y ago
Why it shouldn't be allowed is it lets people sit on domains and not use them for an indefinite period of time. Being able to sit on it for a short period of time seems reasonable but for years and years to sit on a domain and not use

See comment below but basically I think it's owned by a now defunct Public Relations company in Canada (probably holding onto it for namesake). I'm not going to choose a new name based on this. What I'm really getting at is t

I dont want to change the name honestly. We do own the .io domain for it but the name is really good and particularly fits the application. I think it's being squatted on by the owners of the now defunct company in Canada by the same n
