"“I would line up the angles so I was hidden from the teacher’s view,” he says, adding that he found out years later that an enlightened principal had instructed teachers to allow it. "
This is very cool, kudos to the principal.

These days many services ask for a phone number for 2FA just to sign up, it'd be great to have a tool that gave you multiple numbers on demand so you don't have to give out your phone number.

It would be great to have some compiled data on various companies/teams and the obligations + merits that they do or do not meet.
Re:How CS50 at Harvard uses GitHub to teach computer science
on Friday February 17, 2017 @10:52PM (#13673514)
It's great that industry standards like Git are taught. I wish introductory computer science at my school included coding, never underestimate the power of piquing a student's interest. Many more of my classmates might be interesting in coding if our CS101 was done right.
Re:Ask HN: What is the most exciting development in your field right now?

Docker, containers are crazy powerful and cool too!
Lots of cool stuff in the space like Kubernetes, Swarm, CoreOS, rkt!!

I've been using Docker, I love it. Hope to weigh the pros and cons of Swarm and Kubernetes and try those out too, but for most of my applications networked Docker containers are sufficient.

Maybe I'm missing something, but any changes you made to the application would not be saved, correct?
For example in Chrome assuming you downloaded something, you would have to specify the target location as your native filesystem, not the overlay filesystem in the docker container. Is it possible to do that?

This is great, fascinating to know that Flask was inspired by Armin Ronacher's April Fools joke!
Still got to appreciate his resolve to bring out better microframework than the existing alternatives at the time.

This is gold.
I've seen so many of these, even on websites with lots of traffic. Websites have to be written taking into consideration the way it loads too, especially on mobile data. I've found the Chrome DevTools feature where you can throttle bandwidth comes in super handy for this.
Re:WebRTC: the future of web games

WebRTC Datachannels are awesome, I've always thought they could be leveraged for efficient peer to peer gaming but this is definitely interesting as well.
Getting started with webrtc datachannels is easy and you can even have your server in Python Flask, but keep in mind you'll have to handle multiple concurrent connections.

I love how the images are in grayscale!
Represents the fact that all these photos were taken during the graveyard hours far better than if they were in color.

This keeps coming up on HN, in the end the best thing to do is exactly as the article says. ACTUALLY SEND the email and see if they get it.
