What is that, per-capita vs other states though? Curious how effective californias measures are, currently.

As someone who's been making websites since 1993, everything you said here has made me twitch in one way or another. I've been a ColdFusion team lead, a PHP developer and I used to write DHTML scripts. Also RIP to separation of co

I also agree. "Federated" is not a killer feature. Simplicity is, and that needs to be a priority.

This has been around for years. It's a solid service. With Mixer's FTL it added normal amounts of delay, so that kind of sucked, but no need to worry about that now, I guess.

I've heard of this happening again and again lately because of the lack of traffic due to Covid.

How do we accelerate this process?

Right? I'm at 22 years professionally and I feel like a dinosaur out here.

As a developer, how do I lend my support to stopping google from trying to steal the web? Something actionable, something specific to my semi-unique position as a developer?

Hi Tobi, It was the change on limitations for variants. We woke up one day to product additions failing. Took about a week for the tech team to figure out that we were being throttled because we were exceeding 50k variants. Totally understa

It was a limitation on the number of variants. They had no limits prior to this API update I'm talking about. My business allowed people to create merch and we'd add it to a collection on our storefront. Developer support told us

Shopify made a change to their API that was easily measurable on who it would affect, but didn't email us. Refused to grant us a temporary exemption (they would do it for $2000/m they said). The end result? They've sunk my bu

Right? It's almost as if they have expenses to pay for. They provide value and they're entitled to earn a profit off of it. As a small business owner myself, I'm surprised by the amount of people who expect everything to be f

I love this idea. I don't understand why, in this day and age, I need a kitchen in my house. I'm not a chef. I don't have a wood shop or an auto shop in my house. I don't grow my own food or have my own cows. Cooking for

As a Firefox user, is there a reason to convert? Seems like a step backwards to me, even though I applaud what they're doing.

OP on the thread and actually I'm a former disney dev for disneyworld.com. It's a sweat shop. They had me working 100 hours a week the first 4 months I was there. They would order me food so I wouldnt have to leave my desk. Many t

I don't think anyone on hackernews would be surprised by this. The scale they have to operate at is absolutely insane. To scale flawlessly on day 1 is a big ask of any development team.

They help pay the bills, so I don't mind addons like pocket even if I don't use it.

I worked at a company called Hydrogen Media in St Pete, Florida. We had a bell that would ring only when we got a million dollar deal. It rang multiple times a day. Our office was insane. Exposed rafters with the trusses and everything pain

I think this is perfectly acceptable, especially since they've announced it ahead of time.

What exactly was cloned? The look of it? They still had to mill the thing from aluminum, design the components to fit and operate well, and everything else that comes with developing a laptop. It's not like they even took Apple's

I once implemented infinite scroll that 1) didn't auto-scroll from the first page, you had to click to continue and then it would infinite scroll. This way, people could see the footer and didn't have auto-loading content unnece
