Yeah I think I learned this the hard way: even making DB columns can be a premature optimization.

You can't even edit your own applets right? Like, you create an applet, hit save, and then it's set in stone. Can't modify it, you'd just have to make a new one. Please correct me if I'm wrong. If that's true,

Years ago I put together a Rails app to store iPhone/iPad apps for curation. There was a backend that connected to the iTunes API and then I parsed the data elements I needed and entered them into the DB. The most infuriating thing was

I guess my question is, aren't there domestic manufacturers who can help with prototyping and everything? Or has China completely taken that over? Note that I'm not talking about electronics in this instance, let's say garden

How about if you don't want to go to China?

Chuck Swindoll was once a fan of that poem, but came around to a higher truth. I couldn't find the radio sermon where he used it as an example but the truth is that at some point you ought to learn that 1) there's quite a lot dire

Point 3 is what this whole article is about. Butowsky is being sued for defamation, that is, for lying about Seth Rich to serve his own political/personal ends.

The Latin idiota is borrowed from Greek ἰδιώτης idiōtēs which is from ἴδιος idios meaning "private" or "peculiar". Idiot has historically meant "retarded" so if you wanted to say "ignorantly"

Hmm, checking this out, the original Natural does not do this, but the newer ones, the 4000 and the Sculpt, do this. Thanks for the tip.

> The Fed prints money by giving free gifts to banks. That is, QE for $500 billion means banks are $500 billion richer. This is a straw man, $500 billion in loans (normally above market value for collateral) means banks could be anywhere

They're made out of meat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tScAyNaRdQ By the way, I agree with you, it is unsettling to hear human beings reduced to such terms.

So you roll the dice and then leave them in the case and never roll them again?

Strange to see powershell core have such poor performance. Isn't it basically .NET in a scripting language? I've had great success grepping through gigs of log files with powershell, though I recognize that's apples to orange

You know what, you're right. Today I turned off the backlights on my keyboard so it's nearly blank, and I noticed that I was in fact looking down. I do touch type though. So the big benefit of Typing of the Dead was that it forc

Weird, on the one hand I'm thankful to hear it's not "pay to win" stuff, but on the other, wow that's a lot of skins and dances! Edit: Insert joke about Quantitative Easing here

Weird, I thought Fortnite was free to play. What could people possibly be spending money on? Edit: Also I thought Fortnite was a FPS. How can you play that on iOS?

Has anyone attempted to re-engineer a superior UX on top of the git data structure? Would it even be possible?

Ctrl key placement was OK. As a heavy SSMS user I had a lot of trouble making Shift+Home, F5 key sequence work.

More accurately: "Learning to touch type made me an expert typist. Also I bought a keyboard with blank keycaps." I get that you could cheat if you had a regular keyboard, but if you're learning to type, why would you do that?

One thing I'd recommend is to focus even more on dynamically updating the experience depending on the user's system resources. For instance if the browser starts crashing with too many video/audio streams, or bandwidth makes

This whole things stinks. Why does Facebook need to stick its nose in a viral post about a historical figure? I suppose the possible real-world repercussions of this "fact-checking" are not, like, genocide or anything, but the dis

Hello, I wanted to let you know that your HN account is probably banned as most of your comments are dead and the only reason I can reply to this one is that a mod undeleted it.

I was looking for a comment mentioning Seamless. This is the best counter example. Note that these guys bootstrapped correctly from the start; as you mentioned, group buys was a great low cost/high margin way to get started.
