You can't. At least not in modern open plan offices, nobody except management loves.

No it does not.

Lost 50 kg doing CICO. To keep your muscle, watch your macros and exercise.

Losing weight is actually pretty simple. But I won't argue that it is hard.

Risky click of the day.

Wait, didn't we install frontend stuff like css frameworks via bower? I feel kinda out of the loop.

Re:Show HN: Penny, an easy way to track your spending on Thursday January 07, 2016 @05:16PM (#10861248)
What I hate more is the thought of having my financial data stored in some shady, cobbled together, cloud service, hosted somewhere on Amazon AWS.

I predict, that it is only a question of time until they will encounter some disastrous data leak.

Begin a YNAB user for more than a year now, I am really angry at them for this move. So I'll guess I have to move on to something else after the support for the YNAB4 apps will be shut down.

Re:JSON Lines on Saturday September 26, 2015 @04:13AM (#10282525)
I wonder, why even bother with wrapping rows in array brackets and not do it implicitly.

    ["Name", "Session", "Score", "Completed"]
    ["Gilbert", "2013", 24, true]
would be

    "Name", "Session", "Score", "Completed"
    "Gilbert", "2013", 24, true
Which is, well, more or less just CSV. This should work with objects too:

    "name": "Jane", "key": { "nested": "object" }, "foo": ["bar"]

Or mixed:

    "Foo", { "fnord": 23 }, true

Hey guys! Did you know you can actually execute a script with date by running date && ./myscript.sh

WOW! I better get on going writing my blog post "executing abitrary code with 'date'".

This could be a little more robust... Miss a dot and you get weird places like "if". Relative times don't get extracted.

Something like: "Hi Frank,

I've looked up the OIDs in the Cisco manual. Let's meet for lunch at burger king tomorrow at noon.

S" yields only "Cisco" - as a place. Well.

I know parsing natural language is hard. So keep up the good work and keep on tweaking :-)

Why are you not curating a curated list of curated curating-lists?

From the page:

> "Because in 2020 most programmers won't be engineers"

> "They will be doctors, teachers, farmers, executives"

So this is a sophisticated version of Microsoft Access? Combined with Apple's Filemaker? For the web?

Hooray for everything being "curated" these days.

This whole social hierarchy based on colors reminds me of Jasper Fforde's Shades of Gray.

Food / Poison break even was at 88. A chart would be interesting.

However - since R2D2 seems like a slow learner it would be nice to speed up the time a little bit.
