Hi! Perhaps the people of HN can offer some advice:

I’ve happily been using Emacs for about a year now, with loads of customizations from where I worked. Now that I no longer work there, the customizations don’t really make sense for my own projects. I started from scratch today, and now I totally hate emacs! I want to just start coding, and not spend a whole day setting up my IDE. Do you have any suggestions for other IDEs/reasons for me stick it out with Emacs? (I’m on a mac, doing mostly rails and node development btw)

Hey! Do I have to "save and run" each time I want to favorite more tweets?

I'd say we're targeting a fairly different demographic, as our meals our $7, and we serve to as few as 2 people. We really love to feed startups who might not be able to afford a $12-15 meal, or who don't have enough people to hit the minimum for these other services.

Great idea, thanks!
Thanks! Hopefully we'll come to NYC sometime in the future :)
We aim for 600-800 calories per serving, but we don't make any promises about the exact nutritional value

Thanks for the suggestion! We've been leaning on lots of different beans to make sure the vegan meals have enough calories & protein :)

Ooh good idea. How much would you pay for a 4pm snack?

Wow, this was much better than my answer! Thanks :)

That's definitely the traditional idea. Here are two reasons that I think $7 is worth their money:

1. Foods like pb&j and ramen aren't exactly going to keep your brain in tip-top condition all day. Unbalanced meals can make you feel very tired.

2. Many of these scrappy startups can't make the time to even order groceries online. (source: I lived in a hacker house for a year)
