Looks good. I will check it out.
My current setup is Marked 2 and vim (most of the time). Simple and works well.

I have been using Twitter/Flipboard+Instapaper for a while now as a replacement for traditional RSS readers. I do use Tweetbot but most twitter clients do have "Read Later" applications integrated.

Try to use Vintage or Vintage-Ex Mode https://github.com/SublimeText/VintageEx
I have not completely switched but notice that I am using ST more on my web development projects. Sometimes, I find it better on looking for files and js/css/python linting.

Thanks. I will try it out.
Instrumental/lack of vocals also helps me. I mostly listen to post rock - godspeed you!black emperor, pelican, mogwai.

This is the right thing to encourage but I just would like to add always have a backup.
"Don't be afraid to break things as long as you have a backup".
It might be a simple version of the previous code, database copy or even the entire application. Do not forget to backup. If everything fails, we can quickly restore the previous working version.

I can live without Vim but cannot without Vim mode.
All apps I have used since learning Vim has some kind of Vim bindings - Visual Studio, Eclipse, PyCharm and ST2. I also rely on browser vim plugins (vimium, vimperator).
It seems Vim mode is becoming ubiquitous in my apps.

I will recommend this DIY standing desk, http://www.ikeahackers.net/2012/05/standing-desk-with-utby-l.... It is simple, cheap and very stable.
I have the desk for a year now and it solved my shoulder and back problems from sitting too long.

I really like the similar suggestion.
I am not sure of the "Lets be friends" in red text in the bottom of the search. The social buttons might be enough. Besides cleaning up the layout, its really good.

It is the same concept posted in Deviantart. The image was posted in 2007

The idea of a "visual resume" is really good especially if you are targeting a data visualization job

Re:What Is The Simplest Thing That Could Possibly Work?

I am not sure if it is just me but I find that "simple" is not that easy. In a given problem (programming), I usually start with the obvious solution. I then try to accommodate my code to changes or features. The code will then be "complex" or not an elegant solution. In the process, I will discover a "simple" or a better way than the original one that I have.
Obvious -> Complex -> Simple
The author mentioned about a 20 and a 10 page solution to a math problem. It is possible that the person who has the 10 page solution learned from the 20 page solution and discovered a simpler way.

What you can do is filter the results using searchyc. If you are only interested on start up reviews search something like "ask hn review" and grab the rss.

"In order for legibility to be achieved, a certain degree of contrast must exist between the background and foreground colors. However, it’s important to remember that computer screens have much greater black/white contrast than the typical printed page. To that end, many web designers prefer off-black to pure black on white backgrounds. Likewise, it is sometimes more elegant to use very light gray instead of pure white on black backgrounds."
