I apologise if this is unhelpful: but none. I trust the (more than not at all) regulated space of ISPs in my country more than I do the unregulated space of people running VPNs out of their basements. It's important to be clear: you&#x

WeWork is absurdly expensive. IDK, or I'm absurdly cheap (or am not the target audience) In London you pay £450-850(!) per month for wework space, from a hotdesk (aka "go to a cafe / library") to a private office. Instea

This is amazing. I don't think these kinds of lists are necessarily always true, or always relevant, but I think they are great at provoking thought, and great at reminding us that real life is impossible to cleanly codify into a compu

I want to second this. Reading high scalability and watching talks about how Netflix, Google, Spotify and friends deal with their massive loads can be entertaining, but for the vast vast majority of us it is only that: entertainment. Google

How so? The number of people who perform some kind of activism is way lower than voter turnout. What makes you think there are lots of people who are doing "performative" activism that isn't translating into them voting or ot

I realise these are very uncool, but I've always had great success with using rules engines for this kind of thing (insurance / government rules especially). If you can get over their lack of coolness (some implementations use sp

Is there a way to speed up the animations? It may not be a real problem once I actually use it, instead of clicking around, but it makes it feel really sluggish at the moment.

Apologies, it wasn't down because of HN! I can't edit the original post now, but it was just my computer blocking your domain at the hosts level via https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts I should have realised

Incredibly excited for those lifetime improvements. Rust is cool and everything, but (at least for someone who comes from a memory managed runtime background) lifetimes are a hard pill to swallow. Anything that makes them go down easier is

Sublime definitely does, you can open a new "view" into the same file. I imagine the vi solution (if it doesn't support that) would be marks.

It might be because I'm a little hung over this morning, but all of the linked yt videos make me feel ill. I get that it's a novel feeling to hear music coming from a "soundstage location" that isn't traditionally u

That is a very nicely formatted response. It--- at least to me--- proves my point that active user is not a useful metric, as all of those people have very different values and drive growth (or don't) in very different ways, and so hav

I get that's closer, but it's still not that useful, because it doesn't actually capture how people use the software and whether that's changing. People communicate with me via FB messenger, and I respond to them. Otherw

Active users as a statistic reminds me of employment rate. It sounds useful, but it's not really that useful, because it's not really measuring the interesting thing, it just sounds like it is. For example, I think the stat you&

Side note: I find it really weird that a book about software design released in this day and age has no plans for an ebook edition[1]. I've had this book on my radar since it came out, but no library near me is going to stock it, and I

Trust me, I'm from NZ, I get the idea behind the declaration of fruits etc. I've never heard anyone on more of a shitheaded mean-spirited power trip than every American customs person I've stood near.
