You want to work on something that will inspire people to inspire people to inspire people to create. Art, new ways of thinking. I think the _My Struggle_ series by Karl Ove Knaussgard will have changed the way people conceive of the writte

It's not a tradeoff. The reason we like quality code is it saves time in the long run by being clear, easy to change, less error-prone, etc. If you expect to be employed in 6 months, you should be refactoring and putting care into the

yea, that's been one of my goals. I would like to visualize the graph over time to see how the complexity grows.

I've been working on a similar project in my spare time to create tools for interactive technical blogs [1]. It's funny, in the past day I've seen two projects that I would say have the same goals as me, idyll being one of th

Not the op... but what would you be willing to pay for the service?

I'm a regular Google+ user and I find it incredibly valuable. The fact that there are fewer people on there is actually an asset - the people that do use it do so because they have some topic they're interested in that they'r

Are you the author? This is a great idea - I've been thinking about doing this with graph theory. Here's an example: https://plus.google.com/+AlexKudlick/posts/MWNRWTRATgA I've been building tools l

I just built this: akud.github.io/graphs Was going to do some polishing before I did a Show HN. Feel free to reach out to the email in my profile if you want to talk about it.

This is great content! Do you mind if I ask how you made it? Specifically the interactive demo? I've been working myself on a project[1] to explore tools for interactive demos, but so far I've just done one with a toy piece of con

The prominence of metaphor to human cognition was put forth in Metaphors We Live By , by Lakoff and Johnson. A fantastic book. Anyone interested in the line of reasoning in the article here should read it.

I also found that interesting. i had to reread the chsrt to be sute, because my bias was that older women would find it more innappriate. I have two hypotheses about what's driving that: 1. Harrasment is more well-known now, and less t

I have a 1&1/2 year old, and I'm curious about your approach. What kind of things do you discuss with your son? Is it on the level of "if you want a cookie, you have to ask" or more like "why do you think so-and
