Hi HN, My friend Alex Repty and I made this story game about pull requests and collaborative software dev. It's meant to be a little absurd while playing on current trends. The theme was inspired by the TV show Scrubs, and the movies O

You can write functional-style code in many languages, as I have in JS and occasionally Python to great benefit.

Abby is awesome and an old friend from NYC ux & information architecture scene in early 2010s. Her book is great, and like others mention, the homepage is just the TOC. Go buy it! Ultimately, the mess is yours to make it helpful for sta

Or are they modern day oracles? The full title is inclusive and invites consideration. Besides, how many different types of models are there? How are they used? For freely available ones made accessible to the general public via interfaces,

Yup, American expat in Germany here just watched it with family. I didn't understand the fascination but it's become funnier over the years, particularly with kids.

I don’t know about rashes and reactions. But in health circles, seed oils are generally considered safe and retain higher nutritional value if cold pressed. This makes them suitable at least for salads, but not frying.

All this reminds me of a much more minor spat years ago when Matt got upset Chris Pearson made a configurable premium theme (Thesis) which controversially went against the GPL license. Matt then purchased the domain thesis.com and tried uns

I find Figma useful for quick ideation on small projects to see potential constraints and challenge assumptions. The lower-fi, the better. I only do mobile-design to focus on essentials, use grayscale colors to not be distracted, and don&#x

“wanting to impress people is the result of not knowing what you want” That’s quite reductive unless you’re overloading “impress” with “awe”. Because making strong impressions and influencing specific action is the whole point of sales, whe

A buddy of mine writes “Adventure Snack”, an interactive fiction blog. After each intro, the story begins using a static HTML/JS template that I adapted to use with the Inky story editor. Fun exercise! https://adventuresnack

The more interesting conversation is about outspoken individuals with wealth, sustaining power, massive communication reach, and what ethical behavior responsibilities they have.

I do the ‘skip breakfast’ for 2-3 months a couple times per year. It’s hard to start a set program though when my kids don’t finish their breakfasts — and then I don’t want to throw out their food so…

I’ve always thought of users as guests, and your website/app acts as the concierge for various services. They speak clearly, consistently, are helpful, and act according to the situation at hand.

Better for manufacturers to focus on clear, multichannel product registration, error messages that can be decoded and referenced online, and provide a usb port if necessary for updates.

I started converting my bookmarks to Raindrop.io and noticed the following: - timeless recipes and instructions should rather be saved locally (pdf, mp4) - research oriented links are better saved in a doc or kms for multi-device and person

That is a nice design! It’s cool that one can download the app for desktops. I made a shared timer (not nearly as pretty) a few years back, with live URLs and admin login codes for controls. Intended for LARP leaders or fitness coaches. Unf

I thought at first it was targeting MFA students (Master of Fine Arts, Creative Writing) using Office365, maybe ransomwaring their stories and poems. Who could be so cruel?! :)

Cool project! Is the name perhaps inspired by either: 1) The kids cartoon scientist with a lab, or 2) The Miami homicide bloodsplatter specialist moonlighting renegade serial killer?

There is a massive audience from that, when you consider the popularity of websites including Gutenberg, openculture, and others. Although the user experience from a platform like Kindle Unlimited is hard to beat, some people don't rea

Mostly, no benefit over Gutenberg. Though you could compare such sites based on: - individual title design (cover, ebook formatting/layout) - curation of titles and authors based on genre, literary period, country, and other factors Le

While the original use case for Erlang was for telecom, it's more accurate to say it's for building networked applications that can be designed for fault-tolerance.

In reading this, I'm reminded of co-innovation platforms that rose up around 2007 and focused on R&D and product dev. As well as how companies like Threadless and Quirky used them to reward successful community creators. Throw in r
