Not a software engineer, sorry. What’s a matcher? Google didn’t help.
Re:Show HN: Bender – a Deep Learning framework for iOS on Tuesday June 06, 2017 @08:20AM (#14496634)
I'm not sure what we'd call a thing that bends (I suppose it would depend on what is being bent and how), but bender is pretty much exclusively used to mean a gay person or a very drunken night.

I agree that it doesn't inhibit its use as a product name though. Git seems to be doing just fine.

Re:Chelsea Manning released from prison on Wednesday May 17, 2017 @10:23AM (#14358683)
That's a bit of a false equivalence, really. There's no good reason why someone should call you King, but Chelsea Manning's gender identity is female, so it makes sense to refer to her as female.

I can't confirm from my own experience, but popular tech reviewer MKBHD tweeted something similar[0].

Re:Ask HN: Most Sites Don't Use a CMS Like Wordpress – What Non-CMS Do... on Sunday December 11, 2016 @10:08AM (#13151348)
I'm loving Jekyll. I've been building a blog with it and it's been a joy so far. I also have a 'main site' (just links to my social media and a little 'about me'), which I made using old-fashioned hand-written HTML and CSS. When I started on that I was a total noob, and now I have to update and maintain it, I understand the error of my ways. I'll probably switch to Jekyll for that too. At the moment I'm hosting everything on Netlify.

Ask HN: Why are so many great things free?

Posted by hashtagMERKY on Sunday November 27, 2016 @07:30AM
from the ask-hn dept.

There seems to be an abundance of really great services that are offered free of charge, or have a free tier that fulfils my needs perfectly and offers no incentive to upgrade. Examples include Surge [0], Netlify [1], and Migadu[2], which I just discovered from the front page of HN. Why do so many services offer a really good product free of charge? Do they benefit at all, or is it about giving...
