I haven't met too many people who share this condition. Nice to meet you.

Where? Even thick ones are super expensive here. Over $250 a lens. I'd gladly pay $75 more for a significantly thinner lens. Point me in the right direction please.

Hey, author here. Thanks so much for the kind words! I love Hugo, and I wanted to give people a real-world tour of how to build something concrete with it.

I think you're missing my point. I have tons of MIT code out there, including a node.js project used by lots of companies. I don't care about people using my code for money because I open sourced it under a permissive license. So

Hi HN. Didn't really expect to see this tweet make it here of all places. But that's cool.

Hi! I work on the "Write for DOnations" program at DigitalOcean and I want to thank you for your kind words. Your comment put a huge smile on our faces when we saw it. Glad to hear we were able to help you along your journey-that&

in office or not, managers and teams should be monitoring contributions Your version control system and ticketing system should be able to identify things like this. If not, then nobody's minding the store, and that's why things a

One thing that always gets lost is this: Some humans do not think on their feet. They often need time to digest thoughts and new ideas. If you start observing this behavior, you will notice that an impromptu brain-storming session often res

I saw them at least 3 times in the early 1980s in Wisconsin, but never since. I had an uncle who was very much into stargazing, so we'd often go out in the middle of the night to see meteor showers or the northern lights.

Sure, a live coding talk without preparation is gonna get people to check out. But honestly, if you throw up 45 minutes of slides you're gonna put an audience to sleep too. According to audience feedback I've collected, my talks w

But it is an issue because it's tax dollars, and people don't like paying taxes.

Hi! I'm a member of the Community team at DigitalOcean. I wanted to thank you for your kind words about our tutorials. This kind of feedback means a lot to us. We're glad we could help you get your web site set up.

They are also great in demonstrating knowledge in a new field. For example, if you do C# at your day job but you want to move into Go. Showcasing side projects can demonstrate some experience. This helps sidestep the "well, I don'

IRC is an open protocol. Messages like what you see can be hidden by the client or suppressed by the server. And free intermediary servers can keep logs. It's amazing to me how people think Slack is this amazing tool. If someone had th

Disagree about barrier to entry. I run an office hours chat for my online classes powered by IRC. I use KiwiIRC as the front-end. Students need only the web address of the web page I want them to go to. When they get there, they need only a

This has been my experience on the last two small things I built. I just reached for the jquery (or even just regular JS) because I didn't need that much. Isn't it cool to have choices? I don't care if it's not cool to u

Front-end stuff doesn't have to be complex, but it is. For example, a lot of places using React think they need Redux too. And React-router. And many other components. React itself is quite simple. But the architectures that developers

Because you can use this plugin for more than just emails. I've used this in a lot of backend systems that support rich-text interfaces but don[t support markdown.

Oh wow. Thanks for those. I completely forgot those were things.

That's her side of the story. Which I'm not saying is wrong. But, again, it's awful hard to advise people who don't have any direction. I also didn't notice if she went full time or not. I had many students who took

From the article: > Like many students, she took classes she didn’t need, partly due to poor advising and partly because she was feeling her way toward a major. I taught at a community college. A lot of people there are really just feeli

Folks, the touchbar is 1000x more useful if you have a BetterTouchTool license. I have mine customized completely, with app-specific shortcuts. It's amazing. Without BTT, the touchbar is kinda silly. But with it? You can do some rad st

I made a thing to share an s3 bucket. The files in the dir get listed with temporary download links and I use HTML <audio> tags to get the player to work. The current version makes you authenticate with a username and password or goog

They did that. It apparently wasn't enough. When I signed up a few years ago, I did a thing where I wrote and recorded a song a day for a month. A few days in, I had to start handing Soundcloud money for a Pro account so I could upload

I used the Peanut Butter and Jelly one in my classes when I taught programming. I also used "tying shoes". Both of those examples came from a class I took on how to teach general subjects. Before you can teach someone, you need to

I have many many thoughts on what model would work. Sorry if this gets ranty... I believe that the models that will be successful are models where there is curriculum designed to be done asynchronously, with ample time for practice and repe
