This is tangential but I wrote a Go utility a while back to implement this stable matching algorithm

https://github.com/abhchand/stable-matching

It’s an effective yet simple algorithm. Also widely used in North America to match medical students with their residency of choice.

I’m working on SimpleeFood, a simple self hosted recipe app.

https://github.com/abhchand/simplee-food

I found most of the offerings out there to be too bloated. Recipes are a simple thing - you want to store them, search them, and view them easily.

It has a full screen viewing mode for easy cooking with your tablet or phone.

Yes I would say it is used correctly here, with the definition you mentioned. And your english is good for not being an english speaker!

This feels like adding syntactic sugar in some sense. That is, a layer of convenience to accomplish something that can already be accomplished today.

It also breaks the following:

* It's better to be explicit than infer * Keep specifications simple

DDG works great for ~90% of my queries. I do fall back on Google every now and then, but DDG honestly delivers results that are just fine.

Author here.

A few months ago I saw an article from RefactoringUI posted to HN about building your own color palette. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25180180

The concept seemed so simple that I can't believe I hadn't heard of it before as a developer.

It motivated me to create a color picker based on that methodology that lets you build an entire color palette.

It's written in ReactJS + Jest, and the source can be found here: https://github.com/abhchand/niram-color-picker/

This practice exists in traditional eastern Yoga - breathing out of one nostril and in with the other. A similar explanation is given about it having a calming and energetic effect.

I know that doesn't provide the evidence you were looking for, but hopefully it provides some context on where this might have originated from.

Is there a framework out there that faces as much consistent scrutiny as Rails?

It seems odd that for a decade the web dev community has singled out this framework. It's always relevant to suggest updates and things to be fix - any framework has those. But the continuing conversation of "is Ruby on Rails good enough" (which seems to be the underlying driver for conversation) is still present after hundreds of companies have built solid products with it.
