This is a pretty poorly written article — even for Saturday night Hacker News. “Simplicity hides complexity, and Marie Kondo sucks, and 2010s minimalist blogging sucked, and Apple sucks for removing the headphone jack, and the internet cabl

I found The First Law books to be fantastic: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/944073.The_Blade_Itself (You can tell The Blade Itself is a first novel — but the following novels are A+.) I had given up on fi

1. It is confusing. I agree with you there. 2. Nope, the file is modified itself. 3. One thing that the documentation does a poor job of: all fields need to be filled out for GitHub integration. 4. Here's my settings in TiddlyWiki: ht

Thank you for posting this. One of the best comments I’ve read on HN! (We had kids at 29 — and I completely agree with your takeaways.)

Very cool! I’m still using buggy versions of Skitch and Annotate (both basically unmaintained nowadays). Looks like this could be good enough to make me finally switch.

Awesome work, Eugene! I had almost the exact same experience going from a psychology degree, to coding in SF, to heading up analytics for the Trail Blazers. Luck, self-study, and Kaggle! Really cool to hear that someone else also took the p

Very frequently, the right answer for a MVP is something like an e-mail newsletter, or a Salesforce extension, or a CSV file, or an IDE plug-in, or throwing a pizza party for your target market and performing the servic

I hardly ever comment, but this is a really cool idea. Could you elaborate a little more? (On technical aspects, not political obstacles.)

I've jailbroken a couple and given a few more away to family that otherwise wouldn't have paid to upgrade. Would love to run little servers and other dumb stuff on them, but I never have. Always felt like it'd be fun to run a

One of the pieces of code I read through that helped me the most: Beautiful Soup. If you're a Python developer, I wholeheartedly recommend you read through it -- although I do think Leonard has removed some of his more disdainful comme

I think a lot of us feel your same pain. Has anyone had success with sticking to Dokku for small side projects on DigitalOcean/Linode/etc?
