The URL for the post includes "why" (en-why-is-python-ordereddict-ordered), so I suppose the title of the article was updated after the HN post was created. The site's native language is Chinese and I'm guessing the post was translated via automation. In fact, if you run the article through an automated translation service (Google Translate), it reproduces the "Why" title.
I registered a .email address for my surname when I saw it was available. However, I never ended up using it. I just imagined if I ever told anyone my email address was "first name at last name dot email", they'd probably think I didn't really understand how email worked or was trying to give them a fake address.
https://panic.com is pretty great and so is the landing page for their upcoming hardware product: https://play.date
Would have liked to have read that article, but Medium doesn't want... oh right; "Open Link in Incognito Window". There, I fixed it.
Remind me... why are people publishing on Medium again?
I guess the guy that proposed an '====' operator lost to the guy that proposed a 'Object.is()' method.
What is it about the home page that makes the font face (on everything) adjust weight as you hover on different things? This even happens in Chrome. That can't be by design.
Nice! Starred, and I'll check it out.
"please", a command-line interface for natural language commands. So, like Siri, but for your terminal. Ie:
$ please push the changes i've made today to the master repo
$ please archive this directory into foo.zip
$ please clone the bootstrap repo from github
$ please find any files under ~/ matching 'foo-*.txt' and containing 'bar'
It would offer a pluggable interface for extending its capability and vocabulary.
If you like the movie reviews on The Incomparable podcast (the recent WarGames episode, for instance), perhaps you'll agree with me that there should be a web site/app that offers full-length, fan-created movie commentaries that can be played while viewing the movie.
Business model should probably be subscription (who wants spot ads thrown into the middle of their movies?) or something simple like $1 per commentary. The service should seek out talent to create the commentary tracks and pay them for their work.
"A Florida man..." -- should be disclosed in the article title (kinda how the link domain is shown).
That video was from 2003. Here's a more recent visualization (2011) by the same person: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMPXu6GF18M
Why does the VMware Fusion provider cost $30 more than VMware Fusion itself? I'm not against commercial software, but the price is off-putting, particularly for personal use.
