A little OT but why do flatpaks take so much size? I have a small partition for linux and last time I ran out of disk space it was because these flatpaks were taking nearly 1GB for simple programs that I reckon should not be more than 10MB

This idea is good, design is awesome. Here is a little feedback 1. It needs categories. I don't feel motivated to read most of the conversations but if those were related to my interest i definitely would. 2. users should be able to ad

Gmail has become very aggressive with spam filtering and it's understandable with the amount of emails being sent. But this whole thing about spam filtering, dkim, spf, feel like band-aids over band-aids all the way down. A customer re

Yeah i was thinking the same thing. Sure it a cute little feature if it works, but to say that "it breaks your brain." is taking hyperbole to a whole new level. Either this person is very easily amused or has been drinking the ap

Wow that's such an insightful comment. Never really thought about that. Puts my whole thinking about website analytics in a new light. Really appreciate you taking the time to write this. After some initial research I see not using UTM

I think there should be term like suffering from open-source fatigue. Being an active open source dev myself I can relate to this but at the same time I also have been on the other side of the fence when my oss projects didn't get a lo

You're absolutely right. I don't know what OP is going on about but no there were 0 taxis with apps at least in Birmingham. I just checked with my friends too and not one person remembers using an app to call a cab before uber. It

The real experts or people who create great content just for the sake of sharing information never care about backlinks and whatever else Google requires for SEO.. OTOH the SEO scammers like Pinterest create little content and give the sear

I kinda expected this as the top comment. It's just so simple stupid yet it's a wonder that a lot of people discover it the hard way and most still haven't. I think it just comes down to fear of rejection in the end. Making a

Wow this looks like an ad for what a PC ad would have been 30 years ago. It's weird looking and maybe not there because of the bulky VR headset but I'm so excited to see where these things are heading. Hopefully within a decade we

This is really amazing. The last CSS thing I learned about was flex-box and it so vastly improved my side projects. I'm sure this will come quite handy too. What are more such things which you love about CSS but only learned about rece

I've too felt this way and one of the reasons for this is you're lacking something on which you can't really put a finger on just yet. Take this test (1) - it's from a book called your best year ever (no affiliation just

How about you turn ON all ad personalization and just search for cat food, funny jokes websites and a bunch of random noise. I think there is a chrome extension that will do this, i.e search random shit to poison all trackers. Maybe it will

Cool project. In a related note, sometime back I used to use cdnjs a lot to find the best js libraries and related projects too. So let's say you're looking for the best carousel library, just type carousel in their search and it

This section on the linked Wikipedia article(1) is quite amazing on how the family emoji is rendered using a zero-width joiner (1) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoji#Joining edit: forgot HN doesn't render emojis.

One of the best layman hacks to rip all these services is still using ffmpeg/sse with Xvfb. They can DRM and engineer all they want but nobody can stop me from recording what's playing on my screen :D

I think most advice is bad because the person giving the advice somehow also wants to sound like a hero or at least somebody you would want to look up to. Unfortunately most of the times the reality to do the things for which the advice is

Great to see the mods here are also programmers which probably why the site is moderated so well. If you know how the code works you can do so many little optimisations like these to help with your work (as opposed to asking the IT team to

Also 25 btc ransom. That's like 50k usd for such a big risk. Sort of like how they show a person trying to make enough to pay some medical bills or something.
