I disagree - Javascript's issues are not just its lack of type safety. Even with Typescript you're dealing with the disastrous state of NPM/configuration/linters/formatters/libraries -- all of which are firmly

I remember looking into V last year, it seems most of the discussion surrounding it was that it was vaporware. Is that not the case? It certainly looks nice, but is it ready for use?

This may not be the message of the article but as a side-rant: I really don't understand the use-case for a Rust-based GUI. Rust's syntax, manual memory management, and compile times makes it seem like it's really not meant f

No one implements it the same way. Some require scopes, some don't. Some require comma-separated scopes, some want an array. Some require an HMAC signature, some don't. Some want a JSON body, some want a urlencoded form. Etc. Etc.

These are all valid points, personally I don't plan on touching these savings for a long time (nor do I really need to track it using apps like Mint/RocketMoney/etc), but if you do then the Apple Savings account really isn&#x

Yeah I'm honestly not worried about this at all. - I have far more faith in Apple's security model than a traditional bank's model. - I assume Goldman Sachs has a decent policy for fraud/hacks (though someone can fact-ch

Yep. I moved my entire savings over there. 4.15% APY beats 0.01% APY any day of the week.

Oh right I remember now - I guess the point I'd make about that is I'd think there's a large overlap between those that are privacy-conscious and those that are conscious to those kinds of algorithmic manipulations. I don&#x2

I'm not entirely sure what market DuckDuckGo is trying to serve. - Non-privacy-conscious people are just going to use Google. - Privacy-conscious people know enough to realize that DuckDuckGo isn't really protecting your privacy,

This is a good callout - I'm planning writing an article on the newest member of this group: ProductHunt. Once a promising place to find curated, quality apps that developers put care into, is now a hellscape of endless repetitive entr

Really fun article to read, and I'm not even that interested in math. Somewhat unrelated, but I cant help but ask why authors are still using Medium as opposed to Substack or some other alternative. The hook of the post happened to int

People in HN threads should collectively start timing how long it takes for Gen Xers and boomers to come out of the woodwork to gatekeep something that has evolved past their tunnel-vision.

It's a shame that the whole "walkable city" concept has become a bit of a meme in the US - it truly should be a thing that we all strive to create - to nurture in-person relationships through the physical design of the space.

Something about his blog posts, with "Catfacts in NodeJS" right before "Catfacts rewrite in Golang" made me laugh.

No one will be able to prove the source of the data - was it Disney content, or was it someone copying the animation style of Disney content?

This is good in concept, but I simply just do not trust him to deliver. I think follower/audience portability is super important, as is revenue sharing, but this is coming from the guy who literally replaced search queries for "su

This was inevitably going to get more popular after the new API pricing was announced. Unfortunately this also means they're going to start being more aggressive on bot detection. We may soon find ourselves needing to run headless brow

It's pretty disappointing how it seems this is being handled just like any other corporate "We're doing a bad thing, but we got bad feedback, so here's a few paragraphs about our process" blog post. I don't kno

You're getting downvoted, but I'm not entirely sure why. It's not some toxic Andrew-Tate-esque take to consider low testosterone as a possibility for the lack of drive the author mentions. Personally, I plan on doing it soon,

I'm one of the people who thinks "government-funded" is a fair label (though "state-affiliated" isn't as it implies editorial control). However, not putting up with someone's (or a company's) antics i

What features/browsers are you talking about specifically? On one hand, you cannot expect any developer to support a browser that is completely unheard of to them, or expect codebases to freeze because something doesn't work on so

Yeah, I'm willing to admit I was wrong to be an Elon defender. I think I was under the false impression (that another commenter mentioned) that success was tied to competency. Between the API changes, the Blue-to-appear-in-For-You, and

I truly do not understand this Rust-for-all-problems mentality. I was under the impression that Rust was essentially the next generation of C, meant for things like compilers, embedded systems, and other places where memory truly matters. W
