By that definition, wouldn’t sharing total monthly users for the basic purpose of landing some kind of deal (could be as simple as a partnership), constitute “selling data”? Stats like X million monthly users doesn’t appear to conflict with

I reckon it really depends on the kind of clients you’re looking for. I’ve had clients call that just started building an app and were looking to hire their first dev. They didn’t need a resume, but also found me too expensive. Most compani

Anything that affects the DOM and relies on TextNodes behaving predictably. It could be as simple as `e.target` of a click event being different (the `font` element gets in between what was actually clicked), but the main issues are when ap

They both do reasonable things, so I wouldn't really blame either. Google Translate was there first and is a big accessibility advantage for the web. At the same time, Google Translate is the user-specific browser extension that is exe

I use JS to record the amount of visitors (technically pageviews) that reached the end of an article on my blog to get a sense for completion rate. Surely that is not too much?

My main problem doing this is with certain 2FA (like Microsoft) forcing use of their 2FA app so I have to pick it up regularly.

Interactive rebasing away fixups in your branch is not squash merging. I agree that fixing a typo in a variable or a small linting issue in a previous (recent or not-pushed) commit in your branch is usually good. A carefully crafted commit

You don’t really need to know the majority of what’s in this article to make good apps with React. It goes in-depth into how the framework works. Any framework will look complicated when you look under its hood; it’s meant to make everythin

This idea is interesting. It’s nothing new; there are already people hired to plug their tools or respond to complaints, even here on HN. This could make a “community manager” a lot more affordable. For business that is nice. As a user I fe

For most React apps, SSG is by far the best option. With Next.js it’s easy to do and takes less effort than a client-side app with a separate backend. SSR React was a PITA initially 2-3 years ago, but it, libraries and the frameworks have c
