kylemathews··on Show HN: Find the best recipe for any two foods, based on over 600k recipes
Perhaps use a multi-select autocomplete widget. That'd make it simple to let people filter by more than two ingredients.

He replied an hour ago...
kylemathews··on Building AI
Yeah, the last 100 years have sucked since the tractor was invented and I've been unable to find farm jobs.

You just beautifully summarized the "Lump of Work fallacy" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lump_of_labour_fallacy

Yes, technology changes/improvements causes transitions in the job market but as it turns out, human needs are endless and new jobs are created for displaced workers.

kylemathews··on Show HN: Graphene – GraphQL framework for Python
It's made with Gatsby (https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby)
kylemathews··on Unikernels are unfit for production
You missed the whole section where he compared unikernals on Xen vs. Linux (or Solaris) on metal. Unikernals have to run on Xen so either way, the best you're going to do is have one-level of abstraction (OS or Hypervisor) between you and your application.

kylemathews··on Docker Clustering Tools Compared: Kubernetes vs. Docker Swarm
Articles like this that give zero context for the arguments are annoying. A bit from the author describing who they are, what kind of projects are the building, the size of the company, (rough) size of code base, number of engineers would help immensely in evaluating their arguments.
kylemathews··on Thinking positively: The genetics of high intelligence
The researchers did a study of Swedish military conscripts (98%) of male population. They tested if high-intelligence is as inheritable as general-intelligence. They found strong evidence that it does as siblings of high-intelligent soldiers also tended to more intelligent than the norm.
kylemathews··on Node.js 5.0 Released
Probably because their sole research into this issue was seeing that a number went from 4 to 5.
kylemathews··on Typebase.css: Simplified typography for the web
Here's another typography generation tool I wrote. Highly configurable. http://kyleamathews.github.io/typography.js/#/

You can see a number of pre-built configurations in this issue https://github.com/KyleAMathews/typography.js/issues/10

kylemathews··on Gatsby – Static Site Generator with React and Webpack
Gatsby author here: Blogs are basically the TODO app of the static site generator world. They're a simple well-understood pattern that let's someone easily evaluate a new framework.
kylemathews··on Trucks Are Killing Us
This is why many people believe self-driving trucks will be even more significant than self-driving cars. Especially as we start to commute less as telepresence improves and more jobs can go remote.
kylemathews··on Collaborative Editing in ProseMirror
Hi, thanks for this great project. Curious if you've looked at CRDTs? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conflict-free_replicated_data_...)
kylemathews··on Under the Hood of Amazon EC2 Container Service
How does this compare to Kubernetes?
kylemathews··on React Hot Loader: Tweak React Components in Real Time
This stuff is the real deal. I've been using it for ~6 months now and can't imagine now building websites without it. For Coffeescript fans, I use this to start off all new apps — https://github.com/KyleAMathews/coffee-react-quickstart
kylemathews··on Marty.js – A JavaScript library for state management in React applications
Still private — need to create a pull request against Reflux.
kylemathews··on Marty.js – A JavaScript library for state management in React applications
I've been using a "FilteredConnect" mixin that I wrote that's solved the "CurrentThing" store problem nicely.
kylemathews··on Io.js 1.0.0
Support for generators has been merged into Coffeescript master — https://github.com/jashkenas/coffeescript/pull/3240
kylemathews··on Ask HN: What's left for early startup engineers as the company grows?
Leave. That's what I did when I got to the same point as you. Much happier now as technical co-founder of a startup.
kylemathews··on React.js: VelocityTransitionGroup, a replacement for ReactCSSTransitionGroup
+1 to an NPM package. I really like Velocity so would like to have this package handy.
kylemathews··on Hacker's Guide to Setting Up Your Mac
I have an Ansible setup [1] that installs my dot files and other useful tools on Mac and Debian/Redhat derived platforms. I also created recently a Docker image [2] that runs my Ansible script so I can easily dev inside this Docker container. Just "git clone" and start working!

kylemathews··on React Components
Please do publish them! A great react-google-maps I'd definitely use.

kylemathews··on Why I Never Hire Brilliant Men (1924)
That would be Christ and his 12 apostles :)
kylemathews··on InfluxDB – Open-source distributed time-series, events, and metrics database
Reply the API: For javascript anyways, I think a chainable/fluent interface with the method names modeled after Underscore.js would be grand.
kylemathews··on Finally, Education Technology based on real research
Uhhhh... there's a gazillion products based on "spaced repetition" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaced_repetition
kylemathews··on Stop sending template engines to the browser. How to make 6-10x faster templates
I use Brunch.io to do this. It precompiles all my templates and adds them to my app.js file.
kylemathews··on A large, bloated JS framework with an unintuitive syntax and very few features
Google Spreadsheets predates the Writely purchase and in any case, that purchase was in 2006, 6 years ago, so almost certainly Google Docs is 2-3 code rewrites past whatever the Writely team wrote.
