I must correct a minor error: "[Unity3D's] web browser target depends on a clunky plugin with a low install base." This is no longer true. Unity3D can now (or very soon?) export to pure javascript and run in any WebGL-conform

MediaCrush is a great name, IMO. But mediacru.sh is gross. For the record, I disagree with the BETA tag and the "bandwidth saved" thing. The real issue is that it's easier to upload to gfycat.

I've been rooting for MediaCrush from the beginning, but there are two things I prefer about gfycat: 1) Their scrubber handle is REALLY slick and easy to use. 2) I never have to worry that gfycat will make noise if I blindly open a lin

My blog[0] is still plain HTML, but that's part of the reason I haven't made an update since late 2012(!). Thinking about switching to a blogging platform myself. Or at least something that converts markdown to static HTML with gi

My issue with Google Now is more about how rough it still is around the edges. I have a Nexus 5. me: "Okay, Google... text [my wife]" Goog: "Mobile or home fax?" 1) Why would you even ask that? 2) There is NO WAY to tell

> The addon program has added items which would have never been on the site previously, so that is a win This isn't correct. I have items in my purchase history that were not Add-On items and now are. Maybe some new items are here

I'm not talking about a change in a single day. The change in question happened in late December, so I do have SOME data. If I lose sales for two years and then EVENTUALLY get a bump, that's two years of network effects and word-o

I know additional anecdotes aren't worth much, and I'm a very small fish, but the addition of the email address and the "remember me" checkbox was an unpleasant surprise for me as well and seems to have increased confusi

This may not be what you're asking, but my wife and I have found that San Francisco Bay's single serve coffees[1] are quite good (better than most K-cups) and are cheaper since they don't use Keurig's design. A win-win f

And that's the real problem: those things all cost money. Quite a bit, actually.

I think it's because cruelty-free is already quite easy to get: just buy food from local, organic farms that actually raise animals instead of mass-producing them.

40/40/20 is a very good macronutrient target. Kudos.

My wife has a PhD in nutrition and is also a registered dietitian. She's not on Hacker News, but she would agree with that statement. The vast majority of Americans are chronically deficient in vitamin D, for example. And many "Wa

I think that is accurate. I only meant to use beef as an example of how our food supply has changed, not to suggest that beef is any sort of good source for omega 3s.
621.
by teach 13y ago
It's harder than that. Our food supply has changed; sixty years ago when cows ate grasses, beef naturally had some omega-3s in it. Now that their diet is largely corn, beef brings virtually all omega-6s. Ditto for "shelf-stable&qu

I'm sorry you strongly dislike those books. I think they're quite good. I can't imagine why you would say he is "trying to get you stuck". Do you have a specific example? I have taught zero-experience, low-aptitude

These are for static websites. The idea of an "account" doesn't make sense. Edit: Ah, you mean that formspree should allow site owners to create accounts. Carry on.

So far Google isn't "tearing up" anything; they've been targeting cities with overhead power lines they can piggyback.

When teaching Python to a 5-year-old, you wouldn't use that line. You'd just have statements in global scope and no main() function.
