Re:Superblocks Announces $37m Funding on Thursday August 11, 2022 @05:49PM (#32432152)
Assuming this is a real question- the company doesn’t have 18 CEOs on the team. It does have about 18 investors listed. Does that clarify it?
Re:Is WebAssembly magic performance pixie dust? (2021) on Thursday July 14, 2022 @05:48PM (#32101858)
A group of smart WebAssembly experts tried to start a company around the idea of incrementally porting to WebAssembly, and wrote an excellent post-mortem of why that didn't work: https://zaplib.com/docs/blog_post_mortem.html
I'm one of the developers of Lens, and I agree that it's not the right fit for every problem. The way I categorize the different types of interfaces in my mind is a spectrum from:

* "shelf based" drag & drop like Lens, Tableau and most spreadsheets

* Query-based, where you type a query using SQL or another grammar and choose from a template

* High level code like ggplot, Vega or Observable's new Plot

* Low level code like D3

Since you're a developer, maybe you'd benefit from looking at one of the high level visualization grammars.

That's not accurate: there is a contributor agreement but it does not assign copyright. https://www.elastic.co/contributor-agreement
Any detail about what's going to happen to existing user accounts? As an Rdio subscriber, I want to make sure my existing collections and playlists don't just get deleted.

Re:Angular 2 Survey Results on Tuesday September 01, 2015 @05:59PM (#10156070)
The Angular team listened to the community and has been working on an upgrade path. I found this blog post useful in convincing my team that we are not going to be wasting time as long as we continue to follow angular and JS best practices:

Re:Taxonomies of Lost NYC Playgrounds on Saturday January 24, 2015 @09:16PM (#8941844)
I'm missing some context here- what happened to these playgrounds? Why have they gone missing? For example, it looks like Central Park still has a lot of playgrounds. http://www.centralpark.com/guide/activities/children-s-activ...
Re:My accidental experiment on seller psychology on Sunday August 31, 2014 @04:48PM (#8250332)
I've been socialized to think that cutting lines of any sort (especially of the kind mentioned in the article) is rude, both to the other customers in line and to the shopkeeper. If I try, someone will usually speak up and try to enforce the "order" of the line. Is this different in other cultures?
Re:A brand new Foursquare, with a brand new logo and look on Wednesday July 23, 2014 @11:53AM (#8075006)
Foursquare has been promising this since the beginning, it's why I keep using it and checking in. Hoping this lives up to the promise, since their current recommendations are pretty static.
Is there a link to the source code or blog post? Seems like this would be a great starting point to build a game on.
It's meant to be used while you're already playing Magic the Gathering or another other card game, as opposed to using dice or paper
Re:Lavabit Proceedings Unsealed [pdf] on Monday December 23, 2013 @03:35PM (#6956383)
That looks like a reference to another case, United States vs. Forrester, where Forrester and Alba were the defendants[0].

Even though the name and email of the suspect are redacted, it says that the suspect is being investigated for 18 U.S.C. §§ 641, 793d-e, and 798(a)(3). This is exactly what Edward Snowden was charged under[0].

Re:Ask HN: Accepting Bitcoin for freelance work on Tuesday April 23, 2013 @03:35PM (#5597412)
Thank you for the links. The first step is to find a client who would pay via Bitcoin, but I figure if businesses can accept Bitcoin then so can I.

I will definitely update you if I go through with it.

Re:Ask HN: Accepting Bitcoin for freelance work on Tuesday April 23, 2013 @03:25PM (#5597367)
I would consider offering a discount of sorts when paying via bitcoin, or setting a fixed conversion rate (right now something like $120 per BTC has been fairly stable).

But I agree, there's nothing to prevent me from accepting the money via normal means, and simply buying my own bitcoins.

I think the article would be the same no matter which tool he were using. It's about a process of fast iterations in design, which is possible when you're this comfortable with the tool. I'd compare it to using dev tools to mock up a website, it just reduces friction for something you could do manually.
