I can’t believe people are talking about a thing, when clearly there also exists another thing!

Just did a quick search on GitHub. Turns out the one I picked is from the DfE org:

I haven't used them myself, but the GOV.UK components look and function great.

That's curious. Browsing the web is the only thing I do that gets my work MacBook (and my personal X220) hissing at me.
The Feynman Lectures on Computation, Goedel's Proof, maybe Crafting Interpreters?

I've been following the development of http://browser.engineering/ and it's so much fun to go through. Highly recommended!

Mazes for Programmers is on my bookshelf. I've gone through the first few chapters coding along in Go and going on weird diversions. It's totally pointless, and I love it. There's also "The Ray Tracer Challenge" by the same author, which looks phenomenal.

Expressing disappointment at the quality of a taxpayer-funded project is not the same as “anti-government slant”.

This is the state of online rhetoric, where disagreeing with someone is “hating”.

"Linux" and "Ubuntu" seem to be used more and more interchangeably these days. Are there binary/source downloads for other distros?

There's also a couple of interesting videos here: http://www.feynmanphysicslectures.com/
Re:Ask HN: What is your favorite web font for long texts? on Thursday June 11, 2015 @12:34PM (#9700688)
Cardo looks great with a nice line-height. It's the font Leo Babauta uses for his blog Zen Habits.

I must ask you regular evil users this: how do you go about interacting with things (such as a REPL) with evil? I'm coming from vim and evil mode is great, but it feels somewhat clumsy to have to keep switching to insert mode to use a repl,doing stuff, going back to normal mode, then switching back to my code and editing it.

If you're interested in functional JavaScript, raganwald's "JavaScript Allongé"[1] is certainly a nice read. I have also heard great things about "The Little Schemer"[2].

Ask HN: Problems in Operations Research

I'm an Industrial Engineering undergrad student looking for a topic for my dissertation on Operations Research. Are there any problems you consider worth exploring?I had a couple data competitions [1][2] in mind, but I'm not sure they're viable "Operations Research" problems.[1]: http://www.drivendata.org/competitions/5/[2]: https://www.kaggle.com/c/walmart-recruiting-sales-in-stormy-weather
