Addictive, fun, quick, yet interesting and subtle if you're into strategy games. I think you have a potential winner on your hands. Some polish and tweak may be needed based on feedback here, but a mobile app could make a killing

I fully agree with your example. I have disabled the return rule, and I am enforcing that we add an explicit return in our codebase. Ruby is a tool that I use the way I want, not the other way round

At one point, I was helping a great speaker build her first conference, which was a smashing success. When we turned on the ticketing platform on, orders started pouring in In parallel, I was building my first side project, or more precisel

"L'enfer, c'est les autres". I don't know what "the Other" you're referring to, "the other people" seems correct to me in meaning. IANAPhilosopher tho

It was absolutely magical even at the start I was a very inexperienced developer with tutorial-level experience of Rails, and I learned javascript from Algolia client tutorial. I have a 50-emails support thread with their CEO and CTO when t

No it shouldn't (even if I agree with your sentiment about company, growth and probably life in general). People interested in coop model have a legitimate interest in proving that it can work for various business size

it matters but not in the sense that everybody should aim for a super large corporation. It matters because it validates that cooperatives can grow very large, and refutes the claims such as "yes it's nice, but of course it works

Dashlane is somewhat ok. The mobile experience is broken (you'd have to use their browser I guess, never tried), and you probably cannot install it behind a corporate firewall but I'm a happy customer for 5 years because of a kill

Slack API does that too (to their credit, the docs are very complete and clear, even if their API design is questionable)

The most interesting class I took in my entire studies (Soft Matter physics) was also the one with the most interesting exams. Our year's 2-hour exam was the following. The professor gave us a small cup of water, a piece of paper, and

what if you assume that objectivity shouldn't even be a goal? I feel like reading/watching multiple sources of informations, of which you understand their bias, is quite useufl. I feel like twitter is actually the best place to th

yes, speed reduction on the Paris belt was also done in order to reduce traffic jams. The argument was "peak speed is slower, but apart from night/holidays situation with empty road, you'll actually get faster to where you&#x

That's not what the article is saying. They have tested ant flow on narrow bridges where additional lanes aren't possible. From the article: "they do this through self-imposed speed regulation. When it's moderately busy,

I disagree : Internet and emails are a structural change that challenge the fundamental raison d'être, the role of the postal service. Same as Internet challenge the role of France Telecom as a communication provider La Poste transform

There are people who eat to work, and other who work to eat. I can totally see the need for simple, sandwich lunch, especially in rush periods. But sandwiches can be SO GOOD with the right bread and the right ingredients. Why waste an oppor

I feel like the (very valid) points you are making, are not contradicting OP He did not say the workers had less to do, he said the company had to find new revenue streams... Like you I support this initiative if it also includes employees
