Clicking the 'web' link under the post title and then clicking the top result on Google should do the trick.

Could you elaborate a bit? I think curated lists like these are good resources for developers that are unfamiliar with certain aspects of Android.

Curious to hear your thoughts.

learned | 9 years ago | on: Serverless Map/Reduce

I understand the confusion, but the term "serverless" refers to the developer not having to provision and maintain a server like an EC2 instance themselves.

On AWS' side yes there are servers powering Lambda, but developers do not have worry about them at all. The code just runs.

(Hoping this is a satirical comment, in which case: well done. If not...)

Many, many millenials aren't as fortunate to have a high-paying software engineering position like yourself.

For them, $20 per dinner every night is simply impossible.

This is a truly well-written piece, and it accomplished everything it set out to describe without a diatribe or personal attack on the anonymous professor.

Considering how viciously accusations and personal vendettas can be carried out online, I think it's a great mark of character that she refrained from such tactics and explained the injustice she felt in a levelheaded way.

I really like the simplicity of this. I find myself doing the same thing sometimes, e.g. opening HN almost unconsciously and then closing the tab immediately. Who knows, this might help break the habit!

Edit: (A simple suggestion that comes down to personal taste) It would be cool if I could see if I have DistractOff set to 'Stop' by just looking at the icon (in a similar fashion to how adblock shows the status via its icon) so I don't have to click into the plugin to see if it's on. But like I said, that comes down to personal taste.

GitLab's customer service and reaction speed never ceases to amaze me. For anyone interested in constructing great customer relationships, I recommend using GitLab as a case study.

learned | 10 years ago | on: Show HN: Jam API, turn any site into a JSON api using CSS selectors

I'm also getting 500s. Looks to be a CORS issue. I've tried about a dozen big name sites so far without any luck.

Nonetheless, a great idea!

Edit: Just tried it in Node and it works brilliantly. Cool project.
