yellowboxtenant··on Show HN: Material Dashboard – Free Admin for Bootstrap 4, React, Angular, Vue.js
Great job implementing material design principles to Bootstrap. I would say I haven't seen it done this well except for I haven't seen it done at all.

I agree the following two items have made me happier:

yellowboxtenant··on Why read old philosophy?
Philosophy is not "This is true" but rather, "What do you mean when you say, this is true".

I don't know what is going on, but I appreciate the fact that it's experimenting with UI methods.
yellowboxtenant··on Anil Seth: Your brain hallucinates your conscious reality
There's not a whole lot that has changed in our theory of consciousness between the the establishment of French existentialism, via Husserl, and this video.

I can't picture developing WP themes without WP_Query class. Does that ever pose a problem for you?

yellowboxtenant··on Ask HN: How can i become a better explainer
I was always impressed with one of my past IT managers at how he could "wing it" when explaining the latest services his teams offered in front of a hundred people. He also happened to be a pastor so I figured he had learned something I didn't. I asked him if he had any secrets of the trade, and I'll never forget his answer. He said "Yeah, I know what I'm talking about." So simple, but don't forget to really know what it is you're explaining.
yellowboxtenant··on Bootstrap 4's mobile-first flexbox grid system, now used by default
Where do you see v3 is no longer officially supported?

This is from their blog when they announced Bootstrap 4

"When we shipped Bootstrap 3, we immediately discontinued all support for v2.x, causing a lot of pain for all our users out there. That was a mistake we won’t be making again. For the foreseeable future, we’ll be maintaining Bootstrap 3 with critical bug fixes and documentation improvements. v3 docs will also continue to be hosted after v4’s final release."

yellowboxtenant··on GitHub Is Doing Much Better Than Bloomberg Thinks
I read Thiel's Zero To One recently and after reading it you can't help but think these kind of critiques are shortsighted. A technology company's worth is often a projection for what their value will be in 20 years. This is why tech startups can be expected to lose money for many years and still be valued highly.

vim-notes does have inter-linking, so I guess this project is pretty similar.

yellowboxtenant··on An Introduction to Polymer - A Web Component Library
I'm curious if anyone uses SASS or Pug(jade) in Polymer components and how you implement. Do you use polymer-build / Gulp?

What about JS Modules?

yellowboxtenant··on Ask HN: How many programmers out there keep a paper notebook for their projects?
I've always had a difficult time keeping notes organized. I think because I'm a web developer I always have a gazillion projects going on. I can't justify having a notebook for each project. I've tried keeping up manilla folders with loose leaf papers, but that was a mess. I tried three-ring binders, but that's not very convenient. A few weeks ago I tried the bullet journal technique and it's been working out well for me. It combines your daily calendar / todo list with project notes. I think it's just the simple idea of having an index that helps me most.
yellowboxtenant··on Ask HN: How many programmers out there keep a paper notebook for their projects?
Have you found any writing or organizational patterns to be useful? When you design a solution, does that look like a flow diagram? When you engineer a solution, do you jot down in natural language what you think you should do?
yellowboxtenant··on Ask HN: How many programmers out there keep a paper notebook for their projects?
How do you organize? Do you keep a notebook for each project? Do you use an index?

Do you start off with a todo list for you projects? Or do you use something like trello for that?

For me, most of my projects aren't large projects. They're lots of little ones. Bug fixes, feature add-ons, website extensions... those kind of things. I can be juggling 20-30 "projects" through-out the year and only need 1-4 pages for each one. Whenever I tried to keep a notebook I quickly get un-organized and lose energy for keeping it up.

I'm starting to think a 3 ring binder might fit my needs better. Do you ever use one of those?
