yeah, some of this is fluff like the "block youtube, make youku" stuff. but there is some genuine innovation, and i'm glad for increased supports for start-ups in asia in general

lots of negativity here. i think it's a cool idea, and i hope he runs with this. if you're problem with bitcoin is "it's not quite perfect enough" then that's a bad reason to not attempt this

it has obvious benefits (and some cons) over the bolivar or a foreign fiat currency, but ya know, baby with the bathwater

i look forward to seeing where this goes

but i do agree about LN mainnet not being appropriate to use yet

i remember back when my dad bought lotus 123 for like $60 at the local store. that was a fair value

i think the app store and ad-supported software really devalued a lot of forms of software for most lay people. my wife still gasps when i spend a buck on software

As someone who sells on Amazon (just used books and whatnot), the third-party system is great when everyone's honest. I can sell a $40 book for $15 used because otherwise it's just collecting dust, the buyer can easily find the item and shop among third-party sellers. (since my item gets organized under the main amazon search result, vs. ebay where every item is totally seperate)

The big issue is scammers ruining it for everyone

yeah i was gonna say. give it a week or a month to even out and so we can get more samples before we crown anyone king

photoshop, muscle memory

in that order

loved my 6-speed 2015 mazda 6. highway miles were truly amazing for a full sized sedan. like others said i'm glad to see mazda continuously innovating. it's paying off

yeah are we talking 1 degree F here or 10 degrees C or what

ActionScript is still loved by the Starling community. I don't really think i'll miss the swf format, though

yeah i think people forget (or just don't know) that flash became animate. Most of the "html5" animations we see are made in animate. so in a way, it's all still in the same family and toolset, just the delivery format has changed

that said, i'm really curious as to what's going to happen to actionscript. Starling really ran with that and it's an otherwise really nice language (as3, that is). i'm glad they open sourced it and I hope it still gets developed.

i also hope they keep developing and supporting AIR

am i not getting this? i typed echo "hello"; for PHP and the output says "echo 'hello';"

it just repeated back what i typed instead of processing the code hmm

exactly, that's the downside to it.

it's really nice to have /controller/method/param/param routing out of the box, so the speed of 0 to MVP is quick, but on the other side, renaming a route sucks. unless you have a list of overrides in which case, may as well just use hand written routes from the get go

i think we can all agree that the main issue (in america) is population density (lack thereof, could the system ever pay for itself?) and the american suburban lifestyle not being compatible with high speed rail

Exactly, as anyone who used ecigs knows, if you pull when the coil is too hot, you get what i'm assuming is formaldehyde and friends.

when used normally, the ecig should only vaporize the PG and nicotine (2 ingredients). if you burn the mixture, that's where you get a cocktail of chemicals akin to a cigarette

it's admittedly hard to describe but a really vital difference. its the difference between warming a cookie and burning a cookie. the soot from the burnt cookie is way more toxic than a properly warmed cookie

that said, i welcome more information about e-cigs for sure. but as an ex-smoker who used ecigs's step-down method and finally quit last year, we need to be very careful before crucifying this very effective cessation device

Is this like.. where you choose 1, 2, 3?

so if I choose

1. Dem 2. Green 3. Repub

and you chose

1. Repub 2. Green 3. Dem

They'd all be equal? (four points each)

palms literally raining phew

dude... does this mean antiperspirant is going to increase my risk of alzheimer's in the future?? what about aluminum cans and alumnium foil?

my wife, who's chinese, says its because china wanted to protected its own market. i'm sure censorship was a part of it, but think of 1 billion viewers and how much money that'd generate. the government decided that money should stay and circulate in china instead of going outside to google

yeah, seems pretty fair. if the supplier doesn't think it's worth it and thinks they'll do better without amazon, that's their prerogative

This was such an interesting read in the context of me being half-Korean and my wife being mainland Chinese, and we met in Korea, recently moved to NYC... The difference of traditional and simplified was a very real learning experience for me (especially finding subtitles for movies), and for her, experiencing american-chinese culture and history here.

Your write-up was especially fun to read because it avoided the touchy politics of mao vs chiang, mainland vs hongkong and taiwan, etc., that I've only somewhat recently been exposed to (including Korea somewhat). It seems very neutrally written and focuses more on the interesting details than the emotional tribalism that I sometimes see.

Thanks again!

pretty sure we could come up with another type of liner

yeah this is how we start starship troopers

i think this is the most logical answer. i would imagine pain appeared very early in a common ancestor as its effect on survival is absolutely immense

I know this sounds awesome but in practice, it's really useful to have my swagger UI exposing the endpoints for our front-end developers to consume. What a pain it'd be for me to tell them "hit / and see what you get!"

Having HAL links between resources is great and this discovery aspect of HATEOAS makes a lot of sense in development. But having a single entrypoint "homepage" to the API, when it comes to swagger, doesn't make sense.

I ran into this when I asked another department for the endpoint to hit for certain data. I was given a swagger page with a bunch of "/status" endpoints that would then reveal additional endpoints. Who knows what rabbit hole I was sent down. I just needed the endpoint and the necessary parameters.

If I were a third party or some outside developer consuming the API, it kind of makes sense. But our internal swagger docs really should reveal endpoints. I would feel like a big asshole if I asked my front-end co-worker to just "hit /status" and see if you get what you need!

Disclosure: I don't use Swagger codegen. I only use the Docblock markup to document my API and generate the swagger.json that I display on our docs page.

yeah, visualizing lets us move the argument to a more focused context. we could examine and say, lets figure out if "more profit" really does lead to "more tax" money, etc

i think its missing pan / zoom. i had to move a chart from my laptop window to my big monitor window to view it all

i'm exactly the same way. i can do the command line but i feel that in this case the gui provides way more information than a command line could.

i wanted to like GitHub for Windows but the "sync" button is too abstracted to be useful for anything but personal "dropbox" style repo use

its a pro feature, are you a pro?

highly recommended. its nice to know the history behind some of the biggest names you hear everyday

i doubt it. japan and south korea are pretty homogeneous and they have some of the highest suicide rates in the world
