Not the OP, but I visited the Stripe HQ back when they were around 50 people and they had a full time chef on staff. I spent an afternoon with them, which included a free lunch.

Great marketing (and this is from a huge fan of Tailwind). Marketing, even for OSS projects, is incredibly important.

I had the same thought when my 10 year old showed me the games he plays on Roblox. Absolutely awful graphics, gameplay, "story", etc, but they are _obsessed_ with them.

Dumbbells may be harder to find, but Rogue has consistently had kettlebells (made in America, in various sizes) for the last several months. Kettlebells are amazing tools for exercise, and can offer more movements than just bodyweight alone

Perhaps they're not typical sources of news, but I enjoy ProPublica[1] and The Intercept[2] for deep investigative journalism. [1] https://www.propublica.org [2] https://theintercept.com

Wirecutter[0] always has the best in-depth reviews for headphones (of every type). I have the Bose QC35's (older generation, they were just refreshed) and they are great. I would recommend over the ear, especially if you are using them

I expected the same (complex project structure, too many files, difficult to read, etc), but I love everything about this library. Easy to read, concise code, in two simple files. Very well tested, both by automated tests and the real world

A lot of high school memories this brings up. I was a huge UT player, in a clan, competed, everything. I emailed Mark Rein in high school about getting into 3D programming. He was the president of Epic Games back then and emailed me back. I

Likewise, we tried SES and had far too many emails going to our customer's SPAM folders, so we switched back to Mailchimp/Mandrill.

Yup, seeing this as well for one of our .io domains.

We canceled after a week precisely for this reason. I couldn't believe how much trash a single shipment generated.

I just started listening to StartUp as well (I like several other Gimlet shows) and he seems incredibly smart. StartUp is also a great podcast if anyone is looking for something to listen to (start from the first season).

HOA fees pay for community upkeep as well, like a community park or pool or splashpad.

How old is this project? I wouldn't be surprised to see a cease and desist from the maker of the exercise bike.

Similarly, the OST to the movie Mr. Brooks is really good.

One of my favorite acronyms: Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline. They were very popular in 3D modeling packages like Lightwave years ago. Are they still used frequently in 3D modeling?

We have a Metalsmith static site that requires "npm build" to build and Netlify seemed to figure it out automatically. Pulls directly from GitHub, built, deployed, SSL with LetsEncrypt. All for free. Very nice service.

If you haven't, I highly suggest you read Don Winslow's two books about this: The Power of the Dog and The Cartel. Both are fantastic.

Can you expand on what you mean by a single table with manual indexes? How does a frequently used table with indexes not resemble an RDBMS?

What's ironic is that most longtime fans hate the late career Howard Stern. I've been a daily listener since 1997 and enjoy both pre-Sirius and post-Sirius shows immensely.

Anecdotal, I know, but look at all the recent articles where 53% of American's don't have $1000 in liquid cash, or hell just read /r/personalfinance for your daily dose of poor financial decisions.

Moreover, a really nice couch will probably run you north of $2000. We have dogs, three kids six and under, things get messy. A cheap pleather couch from Big Lots is $350 (and is plenty comfortable). I'd rather buy a handful of those o

I used to feel the same way a lot of times, a shame it seems for being a PHP dev. Now, I don't care. I've been using it since 1999, and I use it to get stuff done. My customers and users of my applications don't care what it&

Yes, there is. UT Dallas is third ranked public school in Texas and a top tier STEM research school. Dallas is perhaps best suited for building a company.

You can also start all of your commands with "BEGIN;" (at least in Postgres) to ensure you're in a transaction you can easily rollback. Another trick it to start all "DELETE" commands as a "SELECT" to ensu

FTP (and SFTP) is very heavily used in enterprise software, especially when two pieces of software are being integrated. (S)FTP support has been baked into huge ERP systems like Oracle and SAP for years (I would be very surprised if BitTorr

I don't think Uber and Airbnb have won at all. There is still tremendous push back against them, neither are public companies, and Uber specifically is burning cash at a tremendous rate. Hey night last slightly longer than Zenefits, bu
