I think if there was a rigid spec, it would work against one of the points made early on in this doc (which I think is worth taking note of): > Rule #1 is: Write them in whatever form makes the most sense for the particular project. This

Despite there being a whole bunch of implementations out there, I had also written one a while ago: https://github.com/thebrokencube/yahnes . It does need some updating, but seems to work well enough for my use (plus,

Well, when I tried to tip, I also saw the review button and then clicked that first. I couldn't tip in the app after that.

That's definitely a legitimate model. At least my experience with Lyft was that you could either tip or review, and I don't remember seeing an option to set a tip percentage. Definitely agree that tipping is awkward though, I kind

My suspicion is that the author was trying to distinguish total order of events vs. partial order of events. I feel like the reason vector clocks and the like were created was to deal with the fact that real-time is problematic in distribut

Sure, but depending on the pourover, you probably have ridges that are slightly less trivial to clean, at least compared to the Aeropress.

I tend to agree with you. I find that certain people I know who are extroverts always seem happy, but you spend enough time with them and get to know them, it's more or less a facade and they're not any more or less happy than oth

Quality control, and speed. This may not be as big of a problem as it used to be a few years ago, but private trackers give you quite a bit more assurance that what you're downloading is what is advertised. Also, since to be part of a

Normally if you follow a low-carb diet, you get your fiber from greens. I believe the statement was targeted more towards carbs like bread, pasta, rice, etc.

Why not just for amusement? Or to just see what interesting things people have come up with? Why does everything have to be "only towards this goal", what happened to just doing things just for curiosity's sake?

I actually wasn't aware of that, but it makes a lot of sense and aligns with my experiences with depression/suicide a lot. The times I've felt suicidal were all when I was picking myself up and put myself out there and it crashed and burned

There's a meme with a character called "Dolan" ( http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/dolan ) which is pretty popular for reasons that probably no one can explain.

> Rails has a rather steep learning curve. I can't agree more. I came in thinking it was going to be fairly easy to pick up, but it seems like I spend most of my time just looking up how to do things "the Rails way" (not that that's a b

I never really thought of it that way, but I guess in that context it makes sense why that's frowned upon.

Yea I mean, I feel like when people say "google it", they're conveying that you should search the internet/research about it, not necessarily use Google for it.

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question... but what's wrong with "googling it"? I can see the flipside to most of the points made, but I don't understand this one.

Thank you for sharing this link, this actually helps explain a lot of stuff I've been wondering about for a while.

I think most of us realize that the petitions are pointless (though then again, it takes like 3 seconds to sign it so enough people do it), but how would you suggest we fix this problem? Because although this is legal, pretty much everyone

It depends on the game. The e-sports community is making headways, with things such as the "starcraft bars" and stuff. It's not the same, but there is effort being made in the field.

Ethan Marcotte's book ( http://www.abookapart.com/products/responsive-web-design ) is pretty good. Not too long, and yet goes over a lot of theory and examples on how to achieve a responsive design.

> The new positions for hjkl actually feel _more_ natural to me I completely agree with this sentiment. Everyone I know who uses dvorak+vim has a lot of remaps (so it matches the qwerty stuff) but to be honest, I don't find it necessary

My problem with this is that a lot of programmers/hackers/etc. are pretty good at interacting with each other, but maybe not quite as proficient at interacting with the rest of the populace. Like for example when you're in the middle of wor
