This sounds like a good use case for Promise.all() and fetch: const first = fetch(endpoint1); const rest = Promise.all([ fetch(e2), fetch(e3), fetch(e4), ]); // cancel here const json1 = await first.json(); const

Ok — I think I've figured it out, but let me know if I've gotten anything wrong: At the outset, `this.state` is initialized as an array of `1`s — [1, 1, 1, ... , 1] — the number of `1`s is based on the `size` parameter passed to t

I tried making PNGs before from bytes but got stuck on CRC generation - the math just seemed way over my head. Is there a simple way to explain CRC for someone with just a high school mathematics background?

Wordpress is still essentially the status quo outside of technical circles and for non-technical people I'd recommend it over most other static site generators.

I think there's merit to both arguments - but I agree with the grandparent comment in that too often nowadays we tend to dismiss people in Ivy League colleges as simply products of a wealthy background. As a current public high school

Isn't this essentially a winner-take-all situation, though? Capitalism tends towards winner-take-all systems, but not all winner-take-all systems are capitalistic. I find the example fitting.

With async/await there's not much of a case for their use anymore, though

There are quite a few submissions on here that aren't tech or startups but still can have value to the HN audience.

To implement rudimentary proof of work, you could add a nonce field and then force every block hash to start with a certain number of zeroes - I'll see what I can do and submit a pull!

Yes - when I was learning Spanish I was told that the exceptions to the la -a rule (i.e. words that end with "a" usually are feminine) are from Greek. For example, "el problema", "el sistema"

Although there are times when success is impossible regardless of sales or technical ability (bad economy, market forces, etc.) - how do look for a cofounder that'll work well with you during both the best and worst of times?

IIRC PhoneGap is just your app in a WebView while RN uses native components. (e.g. RN <Text> maps to UITextView, while in PhoneGap it's rendered by the WebView)
