Still surprised (and disappointed) how limited the styling options for native form fields are in CSS. Select fields, checkboxes, radio buttons, sliders and calendar inputs should be just as easily stylable as plain old text boxes and button

Depends exactly what you need. If the site only needs to provide a bit of info about the business plus a contact form, then just about any CMS or site builder would be perfect here. WordPress could do this, SquareSpace or Wix could do this,

This is basically why relying on centralised services is a bad idea. Because at the end of the day, they need to make money. They need to pay the increasingly high bills. They can be bought by billionaires, corporations, governments and oth

Well the full title is technically "Why would anyone use another centralised social media service after this?", but I don't think that'll fit in the title box here.

They have. Hive, Post News, Cohost, etc. But most people don't care about whether a system is centralised or decentralised, so Mastodon seems to be doing best stats wise.

The war in Ukraine ends. Not sure who 'wins', but it feels like resources are low enough on the Russian side that an end to the conflict will be a priority. Putin might not make it through 2023. If he keeps pushing for the war and

Yeah they attend the standup. No they don't tend to tell me not to do something, they just say what they're working on and talk to everyone about their current projects too.

Start a brand or company based around your work, and sell based on name recognition rather than price/quality/ease of use/timing/whatever. AI can create art or program. It can write text. And in future, it'll be abl

I'll upvote a story after reading it if it's interesting and I think that it provides value to the community. Or I guess after reading the first post if it's on Show HN or Ask HN. Meanwhile for comments, I'll upvote them

Sorry if this sounds naive, but... do people still use jQuery for new projects? I was genuinely surprised to see it was getting releases anymore, given how much of its functionality can be done with native JavaScript now.

I don't understand the appeal of the 'metaverse' either. From what I can tell it's basically just some sort of MMO environment where you can do real life things in VR? That seems rather pointless to me, especially given

Good, if you own a device like an iPhone or iPad, you should be able to do whatever you like with it, not be restricted to whatever Apple thinks is appropriate to run there. Kinda makes me want to see the same thing applied to other forms o

Yeah, this 100%. There's a genuine fear of government overreach/control here in the UK, and references to works like 1984 abound. That's not really a partisan thing either, you'd probably get very few people openly suppo

Yeah, Twitter's situation is a risky one to say the least. Definitely not denying that it could come crashing down due to poor management decisions. But I do question whether people will move towards any particular alternative, or whet

Why do they think this won't increase the allure of cigarettes in general? Feels like prohibition has always been a questionable idea, regardless of what its target is, and it has pretty much never worked as expected. It's especia

Eh, I'm starting to suspect maybe nothing will replace Twitter. Or that nothing consistent will anyway. We've got Mastodon, and it's doing a bit better. We had Hive, which did okay til the security issues and shut down. Cohos

Thanks for the information! Interesting to see it's been around for a long time, and it makes me wonder how I never came across it as a kid.

Thanks. I genuinely never encountered it in my searches for a developer/software engineer job, so I was just kinda curious. Interesting it was popularised by someone over here.

It's not about what others in general believe, it's the fact the payment processors, ISPs, data centres, etc have an outsized effect on what you can practically do/talk about. The electric, water and gas companies can't

Thank you, this is something I've said for ages now. If a company has an almost defacto monopoly and stops people from talking about something, it's effectively the same as a government doing it. And when about 98% of internet com

In this case, I suspect the biggest factor is simply having the right product at the right time. Twitter goes to hell and you've got a Twitter alternative ready to go? That's the perfect timing for a successful product/servic
