Woops .. so they use Phabricator for issue management and GitHub to host the code?

I would assume that the code is open source? For some reason, I did not manage to find it. Neither linked from this article, nor via the MediaWiki page: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsoid Nor via the Phabricator pa

The way Twitter works for me is to select very carefully whom to follow. And to turn off retweets from everybody. If somebody tweets fluff, I immediately unfollow them. It completely escapes me, what you can do with Instagram. You cannot do

As I said, there are technical issues every other month with Ebay. While Amazon does not even have technical issues every other year. That is what my question is about. What is the root cause, that one team is creating 10x more solid techno

I am a fan of Twitter. It is a much better social network then Facebook and Instagram. But when it comes to development quality, Twitter reminds me of Ebay. The technology just does not seem solid. Every other month, something goes wrong. I

Nowadays, I either include javascript as a module or as a module dependency. I am still not sure if these will work with the given code: As a module: <script type="module" src="Chart.js"></script>

How do you check if a machine is using jackson-databind?

Now that we have Javascript modules, is all this trickery on top of a library like this one still needed? This is how the Chart.js code begins: (function (global, factory) { typeof exports === 'object' && typeof

The one thing I really can not get over with Tesla is the dashboard. That giant screen that looks so misplaced. Cars always used to be the pinnacle of thought out design. And Tesla is supposed to be catering the more stylish crowd I think.

I'm often surprised that there is not more discussion about hacking the sexual market place on Hacker News. We talk a lot about growth hacking and hacking technical systems. Hacking in the meaning of "Using intelligent, unusual ap

That's great. Is there also a bundler-meta-audit the somewhere, so I can audit bundler-audit and it's dependencies? If not, maybe we should start a kickstarter for it?

From your profile, I see you are a freelancer. Are you on Toptal yourself? I'm pretty good at vetting developers myself. So I have the feeling that at Toptal I would pay a premium for something I don't need. They also seem to spen

"Pretty sure" how? Google trends seems to indicate the opposite. https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=turing%20award,tu... But it's not about "well known" anyhow. It's about signific

I have the feeling this got so many upvotes because people think this is related to the turing test. And that we have a chatbot now that can trick the average person into thinking it's a human. It's not. It's about some incre

Javascript again... That means putting the balls of my visitors in your hands. I would not do that. It does not feel ethical to me. I wish there was an ad network that works with static html elements.

Hmm... If me and 3 designers would start a new project, we would use our original HN accounts to communicate. Put our names on the project and link to our other projects and social media presences. And we would for sure announce it on our T

That is not related to tokens. You could ask those question to any merchant. No matter if they sell chewing gum or tokens. A merchant better watches out to not take fake notes. The token issuer sells a box of 100 tokens to a store. And char
