Not sure I’ve seen someone so openly hostile on HN in a while. Read the guidelines, and please share your thoughts in better faith.

I don’t see it mentioned here yet in recommendations: Pentax 6x7 is an outstanding camera, especially paired with the 105mm f/2.4 lens. Some of my favorite photos ever have come from that pair.

That’s just a performance optimization because blocks are typically only invoked, not passed or otherwise manipulated. If you want to do anything with the block, you pay a tiny tax and have a Proc instance.

Blocks are actually instances of the Proc class. There are helper methods to handle blocks passed to methods in a lightweight manner but you can also accept the block as a method argument, e.g., class Integer def times(&blk)

But in general, ruby code only passes anonymous functions and, in those cases, the syntax is beautiful.

We spend a large portion of the federal budget on human death prevention. It sounds like hyperbole, but anyone dying from administrative changes is literally “world ending” for them. If a plan to cut bureaucracy was somehow analyzed to find

Yes, and only next day settlement. Because there’s no real time authorization, payments have two business days after settlement for the banks to report ordinary failures like insufficient funds. How quickly a bank responds in that window de

ACH has many of the same consumer protections as credit card networks. The window is 60 days instead of 90 days and the dispute outcome is always in your favor—merchants cannot respond to the dispute or win.

Also, you're self-aware enough to ask if it's you or not, without an obvious bias towards it not being you. That makes me think you're doing pretty good. Empathy and a desire to be a better human are underappreciated values

Agreed. I buy 5lbs from them at a time and keep it in the freezer. It’s usually frozen two days after they roasted it. I then refill the hopper on my grinder as necessary and use a pour over (chemex with a metal filter). It’s fast and easy

I work at one of the companies that integrated Financial Connections during its beta, moving from Plaid Auth. We use the link to bank accounts for instant account verification and as a fraud signal for ACH payments. However, we definitely c

This sort of shaming about how exactly someone should be, and how they’re failing to live up to expectations by not doing what parent is doing, is presumably exactly why this material exist. Thanks for illustrating to everyone why this migh

Left alone to our own willpower, most of us would be less accomplished. We'd live in dirtier houses, wash the dishes less, and treat ourselves less well. It's the promise of others seeing our accomplishments, being around our mess

Sunday was just an example. Nobody is stopped from working if they're movitated to do so, but we generally discourage each other from working overtime unnecessarily. I personally work 32-hour weeks regularly and still contribute meanin

We don't hire strictly front-end developers, only designers who can write markup, and developers.

Nobody is stopped from working longer hours, but the expectation culturally is that you should probably be doing something else instead of working on Sunday.

As someone who was also diagnosed with skin cancer recently and who's mother is dying of metastatic cancer, I can particularly relate. It's amazing that simply being told you're sick can physically make you so. If you want so

Simple solution: swipe up on the carousel to make the cards full-screen, then browse. The whole UI works on this paradigm, so it may not be obvious at first, but it will be if this style of app continues.

I've worked 40 hour weeks in a corporate environment (where it's often actually less than 40), 60 hour weeks in an agency, 32 hour weeks at Treehouse. I find that needing to physically commit to work five days a week is the crux—i

The opposite is actually true. I sleep a month a year on a camping pad, and it's well known among avid backpackers that air pads like that shown in the OP are most comfortable when under inflated enough to keep your hips just above the grou

I haven't read something so generalizing in a while. This is the technology-equivalent of saying that women are worse at programming than men because of their sex, or people that use Craftsmen hammers build better houses. Just because someo

I agree with all of this advice. The article describes one type of winter danger (extreme cold), but there's another equally dangerous condition it doesn't deal with — temperatures right around freezing. A friend and I ended a snowcamping t

You're correct—this is the basement of the Pittock. Upstairs are many, many closets for rent to shove servers in.

Share interests is spot on. To add: People should share their friends and acquaintances more often. Mixing disparate groups of friends and quickly introducing new acquaintances to existing friends is a surefire way to build a community in t
