cstigler··on Show HN: Wysihtml – Open-source rich text editor for web apps
FWIW, we've been pretty happy with the Froala Editor: https://editor.froala.com/
cstigler··on Ask HN: What do you need that you'd pay a lot for?
I'm also a (newbie) hang glider pilot. This idea is a little further out there, but if anybody experienced with aircraft design could build a hang glider that folded into a backpack, it would be huge. Lots of R&D and tiny market, but they would pay tons for it. That convenience is one of the big reasons paragliding is more popular right now.
cstigler··on SlackTextViewController: A new growing text input for iOS
Will this work for just the input component with a separate table view controller? That'd make it much more useful for non-messaging apps also.

cstigler··on Zurb Foundation 5 Released
notQuantified !== false

to avoid type coercion here

cstigler··on Ask HN: To everybody who uses MapReduce: what problems do you solve?
MongoDB: where you need Map/Reduce to do any aggregation at all.
cstigler··on Dr. Arjun Srinivasan: We’ve Reached “The End of Antibiotics, Period”
Modal stacked above another modal when I opened the page. Neither relevant. gags

The article's cool though.

cstigler··on CloudFront Uploads via POST and PUT
Interesting, this definitely positions them as a competitor to CloudFlare. But the CDN-as-full-proxy has some distinct disadvantages: every POST to CloudFront will have to make an extra round-trip to retrieve the data before returning to the user. We ditched CloudFlare because of this -- simple requests would take 500ms longer via CloudFlare. Presumably CloudFront will run into the same issues...
cstigler··on Shiny: Easy web applications in R
Down =(
cstigler··on Moot: Full House
The ban list (http://www.4chan.org/bans) is hilarious.

A highlight (besides all the "ponies outside of /mlp/" ones):

"I cant get banned, im 17 and my birthday is tomorrow. Suck it m00t." -- Ban, 90 days, "Underage User"

cstigler··on World
A heavily refactored version of this code, for those curious how it works:

(note that it will not work like the original and make a pretty globe, because it's dependent on the exact character positioning)
