Username checks out. Agreed, make is great and this seems like a reinvention (or rediscovering?) of it. Bazel is another good tool if something with more magic is needed

It would be great if we could end this arms race of bigger and bigger cars - they're less efficient, worse for pedestrians (bad sight lines and likeliness of injury if hit), take up more space and most of all - completely unnecessary i

Moka Pot is the way imo - thick, rich tasting coffee that can be used like espresso (in a latte or Americano, etc...) made by a simple and easy to clean device.

this is a great way to store structured data in js since it saves the memory cost having repeated keys. e.g.: records = { time: [1000, 1001], price: [20, 25], volume: [50, 15] } records = [ { time: 1000, price:

I think Learjet brand name has strong connotations with old tech and early days of private GA jets. Also, there is lots of competition at this size of a/c from newer/more modern designs (Pilatus PC-24, Embraer Phenom, Cessna Citat

Thanks for posting - this is really helpful (reminds me of this similar NYT tool: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/upshot/buy-rent-cal... ) A few notes: - "Final Cumulative Profit" is a bit c

This sparked my memory of using "var self = this;" and "var _this = this;" Can't put my finger on it, but _this_ seems quite funny looking back on it (not to say it didn't work...)

have you looked at real estate prices, healthcare, education - inflation and money supply changes do not impact every asset at the same time and by the same amount

I used to be quite active on Quora, but have noticed a decline in content and ux quality - seems like they are trying to 'growth hack' in a way that is not benefiting users, e.g.: - Links to other questions open in new tabs - Most

Why should it be valued on a revenue multiple similar to a tech company? Tesla has gross margins more similar to other auto manufacturers.

The system is broken. I think a fundamental issue is that insurance is not really insurance - it is used to cover routine, expected things such as a flu shot (while increasing cost for these and adding complexity, bureaucracy, middlemen). E

This is one of the goals of Polymer- a cleaner API/abstraction layer on top of web components, right?

This comment is sadly familiar to me - it sounds exactly how my friends in healthcare describe the state of their industry (more admin, fancy buildings, less focus or spending on patient care).

Right, telecom is a great example of where breaking up an entity benefited the consumer and prevented monopoly. /s (all the bells merged back in some form or another into present day AT&T and Verizon).

"People don't understand how the DOM works" x 1000. Many front end devs I have worked with are not aware that the DOM IS A TREE (and implications of this)!

I had a similar experience. I wish Ractive would have gained more traction; it was a good balance of "enough functionality that a web UI requires" and "simple enough to avoid cognitive overload and allowed for quick ramp up&q

I wonder how significant the cost differences are for Apple with this move, especially since they mention previously manufacturing in the US and that many components are sourced in the US. How high will the margins be on these devices??

Thanks for bringing up Dart (underrated IMHO). The built-in optional typing helps with productivity and readability. There is also a great official style guide which goes over when static/inferred/dynamic typing are preferred: ht

I don't want my ISP determining which content and infrastructure to funded; that seems like an even more broken model.

I think general programming best practices would apply, particularly code review and planning your code and breaking it up into discrete parts. I have seen many scripts for research that are 5k LOC of spaghetti that become impossible to rea

autonomous cars are so obvious and will eventually be so commodity Apple's core business (smart phones) will be commoditized way before autonomous cars - we're already seeing smart phone improvements becoming more and more
