Pardon the language, but this reminds me of the Fuck Truck (at least in decades past, when the MIT male to female ratio was way more out of whack):

Cool, you're welcome, and good luck!

I was about to say the same thing... not only are there no images, but there is a such an overwhelming amount of text and bullet points on the "About" and "Feature" pages.

This looks more like documentation and less like a product landing page.

Here are some nice examples that might help: http://land-book.com/

Seems to be back

It's posts like this that remind me I'm out of step with the hacker news majority. My first thought when seeing this was "why would anyone want that".

It just makes eating seem so... mechanical? In my house, so much family time was structured around food – grocery shopping, cooking, eating, choosing a restaurant to go out to, driving to grab take out, etc.

I guess it just depends on the food culture you're used to. I do appreciate that this is helpful for a certain subset of the population who don't have any interest in food (if you have interest but are too busy, maybe you should make yourself less busy), but I guess I was just surprised to see unanimous support in the comments.

Holy excuses. Look, no one here really cares if you exercise or not. Walking is better than nothing, though.

Anecdotal evidence, but my parents, both in their mid-60s, are some of the most active people I know. Biking, hiking, skiing, you name it. And, neither of them is skinny. There's definitely some luck (good genes, etc.) involved in them being in good shape, but the rest is because they've put forth a bit of effort their whole lives towards being active.

This is exactly the correct strategy.

I have several friends and family who live off of that minuscule amount...

You can rent basically any movie on Amazon, or buy DRM free music from a variety of sources. If you choose not to and torrent, you're not performing some sort of noble protest in the name of the artists. I can assure that they don't see it that way.

Note: I'm not saying that people in creative capacities think that torrenting is evil, and yes, they know they are part of a broken system. I just think it's disingenuous when people justify torrenting using this argument. You're torrenting because you think the market price of whatever content you're downloading is too / you don't feel like paying. Simple as that.

No, it's not bad. Stallman is an ideologue.

I was hoping for news about an Earthbound sequel, and instead I got this weird little smiling pod.

Are you honestly comparing reddit and hn to the New York Times? You can't just lump those sites in together as "news sites," they are completely different in content and purpose...

Apparently the culture there is pretty poor...

"at least when you're a software dev and presumably paid enough to actually have free time"

...or you know, don't have family obligations.

I do agree to some extent with what you're saying, but as others have stated, it should be one of many factors taken into consideration, and it depends on the culture the company is trying to foster.

I personally have looked at github profiles of people I'm interviewing, if they chose to share it with me.

It's a system which disproportionately rewards the lucky few whose employers allow them to either open source their work, or contribute to open source projects... or the people who spend their free time coding. I know plenty of folk who are damn good at their job but like to spend their free time on other, unrelated hobbies.

I'm actually lucky enough to fall into the former category, but I feel that if you only hire people with a respectable presence on github, you're disregarding a large number of people for something beyond their control that doesn't accurately reflect their ability.

Guys, chill out, I am perfectly able to carry more than one credit card in my wallet.

Well for starters, node.js isn't a client-side JS framework, it's a server-side JavaScript platform.

This reads like a talk that someone would give at orientation in college... does the tech community in SF really need this much help socializing?

"The Cricket works best at close, over the shoulder distances. People will touch your bike by mistake from time to time, so it is best to use the Cricket when taking a look at your bikes is as easy as looking over your shoulder."

I'm really having a difficult time seeing how this is useful...
