"Floobledink" is equally informative as to what "Fizzygum" is or does. Please, HN, give a description of what your Github-for-llamas project is instead of just a nonsensical word.

Those things tend to stagnate at some point, where you either fix them / get them to a reasonable level or they kill the company. Check out some of the top company-companies around, something like WalMart, vs a tech-company like Amazon

I've been waiting for someone (aka me) to build this for at least a decade! Ever since I saw the four-inch stack of paperwork a friend had for their applications, emails, resumes, appointment reminders and more it made sense to build a

You're not looking for a "startup" you're looking for a "company". Go and find an established company with a product and customers and help them maintain or maybe grow their business. Find a post-IPO or post-ac

My favorite regex is /[ -~]*/, space-dash-tilde. That represents approximately A-Za-z0-9 plus punctuation and space. It's useful for something like `tr -d` to remove all common characters and leave all of the "oddities&q

The first argument on IQ is the weakest of the article. We can't as a human increase IQ inherently outside of something like iodization. We can, however, create faster computers. This is the second or third argument, and here the autho

SQLite is one of the options evaluated in the article. I haven't considered it because I feel that it's a proprietary format, and also because I haven't read up on its improvements in the past ~decade. My view is still that S

This was the reason I stopped reading. I was excited to see something that, for my commute and location, I would rarely need to plug in. Then I saw that for my €25k investment it will "probably" work for 2 years, that's a no.

Trump being deplatformed from Twitter is long, long overdue. They had to rewrite their content policies to give him a loophole a long time ago, since any normal person would be banned for what he said. They recently started having to add di
