Humane Rails Forms
There's actually a lot of issues and PRs for Chronic at https://github.com/mojombo/chronic that could make it a more capable library and fix some of these issues.
- A declarative DSL for calendar events and scheduling
- Chronic: A pure Ruby natural language date parser

Safari's date-picker is the cause of 1/3 of our customer support issues
In my web apps, I make dates text boxes that can handle inputs like “next Thursday”, “Monday at 5p”, etc by running the inputs through https://github.com/mojombo/chronic
I like the idea of inputs being able to make sense of as wide of a variety or formats as possible.
For number inputs I’d like to build into Rails something that can handle basic math expressions. For example, a person can enter “120 / 2” in an input and get 60. This is useful for expense apps where you need to expense half of something.

Dte: A language for expressing and calculating date and time
Reminds me of the Ruby library chronic https://github.com/mojombo/chronic
It's pretty good at natural language interpretation of dates, and the basic "from today" calculations, but cool to also see here natural expressions to parse between dates.

Speeding up Docker Builds With eatmydata
Post with text insted of an URL get a penalty, so it's more difficult that they reach the front page (unofficial faq with more details https://github.com/minimaxir/hacker-news-undocumented?tab=re... )
My suggestion is to repost the link in a new submission (URL only, empty text), and add your explanation as as a comment.

Clarity on how posts are hidden or marked as dead
> it's hard to engage without understanding the rules.
On the other hand, if you fully understand them it’s easier for spammers to circumvent them and changes would have to be done way slower (because they’d have to be documented every time).
You’ll sometimes find posts by dang explaining various policies, and there are some sources which try to document the undocumented:

It is my understanding some websites (like dev.to) are automatically killed due to a prevalence of low quality posts. But users with showed enabled can still see those and vouch for them, which brings them back alive. Posts may also be flagged by users for a variety of reasons such as the subject having been posted and discussed multiple times in the last few days, essentially making the new post a duplicate.

Hacker News is extremely strongly manipulated. What users see as popularity order is actually the order edited to the moderators' liking.

A List of Hacker News's Undocumented Features and Behaviors
Unfortunately it still doesn't mention "rate limited" accounts[0], which is extremely confusing when it happens to you. It's happened to me on this account, I can't comment more than 5 times per some arbitrary period - I'm guessing 24 hour UTC.
No explanation or information is given - you don't even know until HN seems broken and you go searching. dang mentioned that's something they'd like to impove, but given the slow movement of HN features, I doubt it will.
Note that none of this is meant as a slight on dang - I respect the work he does and really like the site, but it doesn't make it less frustrating. The result will be me rolling a new account (against site guidelines), as I have no other privacy preserving way of handling the issue.

Game-icons.net: Free icons for your games
Not me, because I can't yet, but I can shed some light.
That comment brings nothing to the table. An upvote would have given the same meaning. This is not reddit, and some of us would prefer it to remain different. Low effort comments tend to be downvoted, and interesting ones upvoted.
So uplift your comments, say why you are thankful, what will be your use case, where you wouldn't use the OPs icons, ... give some information, not just noise.
Here [0] is some more information about downvotes.
