Doesn't www.enigma.io do this?

The comments really confused me
. I thought the article was about delivering a pitch for your startup.I have a habit of reading the comments on HN before reading the article. Helps me confer some context to it usually, and also see if it's worth spending my time. (Yes I know I should be making my own decision.)
Fantastic, just set my inbox up using this. So excited.
One other hack idea:
If you use your android phone to send reminders ('Note to Self' voice command)
You can set up a filter for mails with
Subject:"Note to self"
Apply label 'yellow-bang'
Skip: inbox
Wow. I haven't used it yet, but I love it already! I am going to go ahead, open a pull request and work on connecting a time tracker like SlimTimer (though I wish someone came up with a better interface). Opening a pull request because I'll need all the help I can get since I am still new to web development and nodejs.
Also, Spotify!
Have you looked at
http://codegolf.stackexchange.com/ ? From what I understand, these are similar except it's more about doing things in the least amount of characters than lines.
For example, here's the 552 character Ruby code to print the lyrics of a song.

You mean '3 out of top 4'? There's a "Protean echo" too.
Wait. Why not both wallaby cards in the coin?
For some reason I have a suspicion that Github Trending is game-able. I tweeted once about this suspect repo that had 3000+ stars and all it said was something like "Hello to all github trending viewers" or something along those lines.
Link to the author of that repo: https://github.com/mandatoryprogrammer
What remains of the repo is visible in his profile.
Anybody have a clue as to how he did it?

I am nowhere close to founding a startup. Heck, I started learning to code only a year and a half back. Yet as a part of this community (only recently), I can only imagine the anxiety that most of you are going through.I just thought I'll wish everyone who sees this all the best, and remind everyone:"No matter how slow you run, you're still lapping everyone on the couch." - The guy on the couch.
Haven't had the chance to play around, but it looks clean and it's a nice concept.
Have you checked out https://www.hackerrank.com/ ? They initially started out with bot challenges as well.
I have no idea why a bunch of people here keep saying these questions are good for recruiting 'mathematics scholars'. Fact: I am a mathematics graduate student and I would not be able to solve this problem. I hope there isn't a notion that people studying mathematics spend all their time solving Project Euler type questions.
In fact I would be thrilled if they are recruiting for math people. They are not. I have been in the job market for a while now and recruiters literally stop listening when they don't hear "CS" in the first sentence.
Can we not just ask pg for the data?
I hope someone is keeping track of the votes along with the time data. That might be very interesting, as well.
Went to RSnake's website and encoded the address of Facebook to post on my wall. Facebook does not let me post it.
After 3 or 4 tries, it blocked my account.
Does anyone know why Facebook does that?
I'd go with this if I had to pick one. But having it in a new page is essentially that, right?
Have you actually seen some of the posts in /new ? I don't think some of the links actually deserve even the accidental exposure to traffic.
The problem is then the signal-to-noise ratio decreases and therefore making the front page less attractive to new (maybe even to more experienced) users.
I had the same question too. The footnote #1 states that >"StackEdit is a free, open-source Markdown editor based on PageDown, the Markdown library used by Stack Overflow and the other Stack Exchange sites."
Coolest. Thing. Ever. I just bookmarked that.

If AdBlock were to become more common, don't you think websites that depend on ad money (almost everything) would start building around it like Hulu has done?
This is awesome. But, does anyone know how to do this with `--save-cookies` command with wget?
