Thank you for being awesome - for opening each issue, clicking links, checking out sponsors, and hitting reply to send me feedback. You make this fun, even when I hit a couple major snags (and thus why this issue is a wee late). One favor to ask, if you are getting this in your promotions tab in Gmail, could you drag (or right-click and move) it over to the primary tab? I don't want you to confuse HNL with your ACME emails. –kale #FAVORITES How We Did It: SNL Title Sequence //alex-buono comments→ What We Learned From 40 Female YC Founders //ycombinator comments→ Gates Foundation to require immediate free access for journal articles //sciencemag comments→ God's Lonely Programmer //vice comments→ Quantum OS - OS based on Linux which conforms to Material Design guidelines //github comments→ A Eulogy for RadioShack //sbnation comments→ Python idioms I wish I'd learned earlier //prooffreaderplus comments→ What I Learned from Building an App for Low-Income Americans //fastcolabs comments→ Starting data analysis with R: Things I wish I'd been told //reganmian comments→ HTTP API Design Guide //github comments→ #ASK HN Can we talk about FreeBSD vs. Linux? //ycombinator I've learned a programming language – how do I solve problems with code?//ycombinator #SHOW HN Youtube-dl //github comments→ Ten seconds of math //mental-math-trainer comments→ Vim.js – JavaScript port of Vim //github comments→ QuaggaJS, a barcode scanner written in JavaScript //github comments→ Regulex – JavaScript Regular Expression Visualizer //jex comments→ CSS Stats //cssstats comments→ #CODE Phoenix – Elixir Web Framework //github comments→ W3C HTML JSON form submission //w3 comments→ Reduction in Garbage Collection Pause Time in Ruby 2.2 //omniref comments→ Functional Programming using JavaScript //sauyet comments→ 101 – A JavaScript utility library //github comments→ #BOOKS The Art of Insight in Science and Engineering //mit comments→ The Book of Life //thebookoflife comments→ A collection of Python books //importpython comments→ New e-book: Hands-on Scala.js //github comments→ #WATCHING Wanderers: a short film of humanity's expansion into the Solar System //vimeocomments→ Schlieren Optics – See small changes in the index of refraction in air //youtubecomments→ The Dancing Traffic Light //youtube comments→ #FUN JS1k demo: “Highway at Night” //js1k comments→ 3D City: Simcity-like game built using Three.js //github comments→ Shuttle Endeavor: interior photos of it powered-up //launchphotography comments→
