This is wonderful and I can't wait to go through his other articles.

It reminded me a lot of: https://acko.net/blog/animate-your-way-to-glory/

I know this isn't exactly what you're talking about but I've found it invaluable: https://github.com/atomantic/dotfiles

It's a script that installs all kinds of useful stuff and sets some - in my opinion - nice options. I just recently started a new job and I had a brand new Macbook Pro up and running (as in: ready to start working) in less than 30 minutes.

A good tip is to fork it and modify it to your liking. At a new computer you can then just pull down your version and install away.

The only default that's missing is Sublime Text.

This is the first time I've seen somebody else complain about the arrow keys and I completely agree.

It's by far the most infuriating aspect of this new keyboard.

Another thing that I have a hard time explaining is my inability to orientate myself on this keyboard; several times a day I have to move the laptop around, look at the keys and "reset" myself to the keyboard. I don't know what that's about but I've only ever experienced it on this keyboard.

My personal machine is a 2014 MBP which will be replaced with something other than a mac once the time comes.

But orchestrated by who? Surely not Bloomberg as they'd have too much to lose.

And if you have the means to do something like this, why not do it in a more subtle way that doesn't have people asking questions 6 months later?

I'm not suggesting you're wrong and I have no clue what happened.

I absolutely love the way the docs page is setup: https://fullcalendar.io/docs

Nice design and useful section links.

To differentiate themselves I think. I didn't like them at first either but they grew on me.

Car design is tricky - you have to design for peoples tastes 5+ years in the future.

(I know nothing about car design)

This is also something I struggle with.

I think that they are incredibly difficult to find and most people (me included) can't identify "problems" in their day to day that could be improved by something - in hindsight - relatively simple.

I'm constantly asking myself: where are the pain-points in my daily interactions with computers/software etc.

So far there's nothing and I know that can't be true.

I love this.

Douglas Adams also comes to mind.

This is compelling. I like the "pay as you go" model for data. I'm on an iPhone though and do enjoy visual voicemail - I wonder how much I would miss it? I also wonder what their beta status for iOS means and what their roadmap looks like.

This is a shame, I'm sorry to hear.

I loved this app for a long time because it was the only one (that I found) that would cache comment threads on the device - this meant I could read comments on the subway and/or without access to the internet.

A few months ago the app was rewritten in Swift and lost my most treasured feature, not that it matters anymore.

Thanks for the years of connectivity-anxiety free comment reading!

Edit: If you do get passed this (I really hope you do) please consider adding an option that would fetch and save comments on the device. I'll pay for it.

Is there a hard ceiling for salaries for developers? Does one need to move into management/consulting/something in order for ones salary to keep increasing?

Lately I've been feeling like I've hit my ceiling and I need to start investigating where to go from here but that may just be my perception/pessimism.

I don't think anyone was suggesting actually vaping on the plane next to other people - I'm pretty sure that was never cool with flight attendants and/or other passengers.

The question is: if I am not allowed to bring (potentially expensive and/or hard-to-find) e-cigs on board, what do I do when I land? Can I put them in checked luggage? Do I have to throw them out if I forget they're on me? Too bad?

I don't have any answers but I personally use an e-cig to keep me from going back to the real thing (real cigarettes that is).

But surely a 737 wing is completely different to the one tested here?

I'd be very interested to see a 737 wing being tested like this.

I think 230mph is unrealistic for such tests. A quick google search shows something between 70mph - 100mph on approach [1]. I doubt drones are found at altitudes of aircraft at cruising speed.

I'm not saying that this isn't a concern but can somebody with actual aviation knowledge (I have none) chime in and explain the 230mph figure?

Looks like this isn't rolled out to everyone. I'm not seeing the 3D version (logged in & incognito).

Well done! Moving the mouse to a child resets the position though. You may need some JS to do some fancy stuff like here: http://bjk5.com/post/44698559168/breaking-down-amazons-mega-...

Or to keep it JS free there might be a way to structure the HTML similar to: <Nav1><ChildNav1.../></Nav1>. Hover a :hover pseudo on <Nav1> will also fire when hovering over <ChildNav1 />.

Interesting - and on the same day as another (hyper?)local app: https://techcrunch.com/2018/05/31/area-120-subway-pigeon/

Will they be back under a new name to avoid negative associations? E.g.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academi

I've come to really like the auto bundling - especially for trips. Inbox has been doing a really good job of grouping flights and hotels under labels like "Your trip to Chicago". It also updates if flights are delayed etc.

Interesting to hear you say this in light of all (at least all that I've read) very positive reviews of the sound quality.

What are your thoughts on the positive reviews?

Exactly. Therefore switching comment threads while in the tunnels doesn't work with other HN clients.

Maybe this is just old, ingrained behavior of mine but I like to load up a bunch of threads before the train arrives and then read while underway.

Also, trying to fetch new comments at a station that happens to not get LTE usually fails and leaves me reading-material-less.

Maybe I should bring a book.

If that happens consider me a paying customer!

Does this download/preload all comments? This is one feature I can't find anywhere except for HN Zero[0].

When HN Zero loads the list of stories, it pulls all comment threads down too. That way I can read the comments when I'm in the subway.

HN Zero is great but it's a bit dated at this point and lacks some other features that I've learned to live without (no copy/paste from comments, no sharing of links, no iPhone X support).

In any case, I'll try this out. Congrats on shipping!

Unrelated to the content but scrolling on that page is basically unusable. Janky/sluggish/awful.

I was expecting this to be mentioned somewhere: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clathrate_gun_hypothesis

Everything I've ever encountered on acko.net has been amazing.

This looks like fun, going to try this out over the weekend.

This is the same person who made this game (that also looks like good fun): http://miegakure.com/ that I remember reading about some years ago but never got a chance to play with
