dvdplm··on Few days of Swift
Is Linux performance on par with OS X, does anyone know of a benchmark that would make sense (given the status of much of the standard lib)?
dvdplm··on Cancer drugs in 18 countries: a cross-country price comparison study
Are there any legitimate reasons for a 28-300% variance in price? Why are discounts secret? I can totally see why the seller would want that, but these are public health care countries studied and I don't see why public spending is allowed to stay a secret. Very depressing.
dvdplm··on Best Laid Plans
Github should do this for pull request comments. :)

"Your pr probably have about 5 bugs left"

dvdplm··on Introducing d3-shape
Rendering is broken in Firefox on iOS. Known issue? Otherwise it looks great!
dvdplm··on Ryanair vs. EasyJet price comparison
It would be awesome to have this kind of analysis made dynamically, by some service. It's always a major hassle figuring out which airline site is more convenient to buy from. Saas idea maybe? :)
dvdplm··on Response to EFF complaint about student data privacy
I agree with you. I get the impression that data aggregation&analysis is so deeply ingrained in Google company culture that it's entirely possible the responsible people truly believes nothing went wrong here.
dvdplm··on Show HN: Notify – CLI to notify your phone
Lovely idea! Please post an update here when the iOS app is available! :)
dvdplm··on Facebook bows to Belgian privacy ruling over cookies
While I applaud the effort to protect users privacy I don't think these measures are very effective. It seems more like a way for governments to show who's in power and doing it in such an uninformed way is a little silly imo. Cookies are not the problem.
dvdplm··on Labella.js – placing labels on a timeline without overlap
Is this restricted to a straight line or can it be used to label any svg (?) path?
dvdplm··on Show HN: 2500 3D animated DOM elements
Super cool! :)
dvdplm··on Ask HN: Collaboration software for teams
If chat is important to you I'd definitely take a look at Slack in combination with Google Docs. Slack is a very good chat client, but it's the ease of extending and integrating it to your systems that is the real killer feature (imo). When a tool is cumbersome to use (and/or hard to learn) team communication is the first victim in my experience. People simply don't use it, or use it reluctantly and as little as they can. Slack gets this and goes out of its way to make communication frictionless.
dvdplm··on Hugo v0.15 releasedL Higher performance, Jekyll import, template improvements
Does Hugo do any of the more advanced build tasks, like image compression&inlining, sass/less/postcss conversion (and minification)? How does it fare wrt to adding javascript behavior to pages (e.g. React components), do I have to setup a separate build system for that stuff?
dvdplm··on Nim for scientific computing: Back to the future
Lovely write up, thanks! The syntax is so much nicer than Rusts is. :)
dvdplm··on Ask HN: I wrote a Slack compatible server. Can I open source it?
Did you manage to connect the regular Slack client to this? Is it enough to redirect the traffic to "myorg.slack.com" wherever your daemon is running? That would be kinda neat.
dvdplm··on Suspended jaccuzzi
I for one wonder if they had sex in there. And if they didn't, I totally don't get it.
dvdplm··on How to Fold a Julia Fractal
Amazing work. Love this.
