You've pretty much nailed it, especially the last part about the cold. I will run sometimes, but the motivation required to go run when it's freezing outside is frequently beyond my grasp.

Probably not. That clearbit form tells me that they don't have my email address, but my information was pre-populated into Svbtle when I used that same address.

I came across this as we were looking at different JavaScript transpiler options for our project (where the backend is a Spring Boot app using Groovy). Fun, but it sort of felt like an example of "every language has a JavaScript transp

I agree. I think the music app has gotten too crowded. I wish they would have separate apps for my music and Apple Music/radio

That sort of reinforces his point. His dad, or most people's dad, would likely be that lame person trying to party with younger people, but failing because they aren't famous.

This calls to mind the (ongoing) MST3K Kickstarter, and his explanation of how much of the first couple million is going to fees + fulfillment of awards. At the level I pledged, I would love to dismiss the physical awards and just have the

Good question, I'm not really sure. HN isn't the right place to find out, though. There isn't a lot of interest in Grails in the Bay Area.

Don't forget Grails

I think he meant that "income inequality" is the hammer, as the source of every one of society's ills.

Once in awhile, I just yearn for the good ol' days of ActiveX.

What is "on time"? I graduated from an engineering university a decade ago, and it was commonplace for an undergraduate degree to take 4.5 - 5 years. There's no rush to finish in 4. You have the rest of your life to work.

That kind of thinking can lead to a culture where people don't want to take vacation because it means they are less "busy" than others and by implication, less important. It becomes a badge of honor to let unused vacation exp

I created a xxxxFactoryFactory in a recent project. Partly for practical reasons and partly for satire.

You mean maybe store the results?

Agreed, but it needs a designation besides Enterprise. My mind is drawing a blank, though.

I don't know. Java seems like the one true language for the Enterprise version of FizzBuzz.

Is getting medical marijuana really as easy as a quick video chat with symptoms of frequent heartburn? Prohibiting it seems especially ridiculous if that is the case.

In the case of my online only bank, you just can't deposit cash. This is only a small nuisance for me, though, as the only instance I receive cash anymore is when selling things on Craigslist.

I suspect they mean that handing out your password is a security issue. It's not like these sites are new, though, so I don't trust that "security" is the main motivator.

Is this just for bank accounts (checking / savings)? I have a credit card account with BoA, and Mint isn't having any problems accessing it.

This seems like it would backfire. I suspect many people are more loyal to mint.com than to their banks.

And to completely blow everyone's mind, add 'dockerized'.

Perhaps that's a fair point if you are the kind of user that keeps up with all that you've detailed. To say that users who use of Google's voice controlled features are probably aware of it is another thing entirely, and high

Not speaking to the price, this makes sense. To achieve FDA approval, their reporting is much more conservative. That's probably for the best.

Last I read, that was anonymized data. Or have things changed?

So they store Google hangout video chats forever?
