These were an amazing resource when I was ramping up on AngularJS as we were implementing at my work!
I think this is a question everyone should ask themselves periodically. Everyone should take a moment to reflect on what they're doing, why they're doing it, is it worth it? Sort of looking up from the path you're on to look ahead and make sure you're going the direction you want to go.
Re:Poll: Do you use your real identity on HN? on Friday May 17, 2013 @11:49AM (#5725081)
I don't think he meant that if anyone used their real name online it would automatically make them sincere, I think he meant that since he was using his real name it kept him in check because he cared about his reputation or whatever.

Less about how other people view him and more about making sure that he didn't do anything that would tarnish himself. As opposed to the freedom you would feel behind anonymity to do things you wouldn't normally.

I assume it's to say that he doesn't have some sort of vendetta or dislike of Yehuda that's coloring his opinion.
This is anecdotal, but I can see this highway dividing towns pretty starkly in Menlo Park. The town is divided East/West by US-101. The difference between West Menlo Park and East Menlo Park is stark, West is filled with incredibly wealthy, white people whereas the East is filled with much poorer, mostly latino and black people.

For me it's the insert/command modes. The command mode allows me to do all sorts of things without contorting my fingers with combination commands, which is something that annoyed me about emacs. Also makes the macro recording easy for me to understand.

What? What kind of car takes $35 worth of fuel to drive that round trip? I drive a Chevy Aveo, costs $40 to fill up the tank, and I could probably make 3-4 round trips on a full tank.
Re:Evernote: Company of the Year on Thursday December 08, 2011 @02:17PM (#3330632)
I have an interest in fashion and interior design, and Evernote is how I save images of looks that I like or might consider buying in the future. It's nice, it can save images, textual descriptions and the source with very little effort. With the Chrome plugin I don't even need the Evernote app to be open to save notes.
