Let's not suggest that social media is what it takes to realize you are unpopular as a teenager.

While that never died, social media is the modern rolodex. And on top of that, someone can jog their memory of you and warm the iron back up a little bit. Swapping social media details has been more effective for me because often I don&#x27

"There needs to be regulation" is pretty meaningless though. If anything, you should parcel out some examples of what that would look like instead of +1'ing some abstraction notion of it.

Many people can't even enjoy the real world without caring how others will judge their car, clothes, and credentials. Caring about likes on social media seems pretty minor compared to the mountains people were already moving to feel go

It's a good demonstration of how nobody can resist a good lynch mob no matter how ridiculous the topic. It's absolutely hilarious how Elm of all things was the #1 enemy of HN the last couple days. A language just about nobody uses

I mainly use Elm these days because it does exactly what it says on the tin: it helps me build robust client-side applications and fight off technical debt, which is a harder problem to solve than accumulating abstractions. It's kind o

Eh, I wouldn't exactly be a martyr for these deleted comments. dulac91 has been "leaving Elm" starting at least six months ago, supposedly only still around to let others know of his decision. superdisk and type_level_memes a

On the other hand, people need to learn to take no for an answer and move on. Instead, egos get involved and a new essay of the week appears on how Elm is doomed because it doesn't have <pet feature>. That nobody can take Elm ser

Ports are an asynchronous interop boundary. You basically subscribe to a port from Javascript and attach a callback to handle data as it passes from Elm -> JS. Javascript errors then are relegated outside of Elm or they fail at the bound

Article aside, the HN and Reddit comments really reflect our toxic entitlement culture. How many comments here seem to exist for no other reason but to get in a negative jab of their own? I'm reminded of Rich Hickey's great respon

All three replies to me suggest that you can do relative imports in Go. Can you link me to documentation that demonstrates them? I don't understand. Either relative imports are not supported or they only work in some context that nobod

It's a matter of including a <script> tag and then reading the caveats. Very likely to work for a traditional server-rendered app.

Heh, I was just doing it with my eyebrow. Noticed a harder, thicker hair among the softer hairs. Pulled out five other hairs before getting it. Probably have a hole in my brow now.

The comfort of still being in your own space. For example, listening to your own music, no excursion for your kids to belabor, precisely don't have to park and get out.

Blog comments are visible and open to anyone reading the blog post. And the blog author can always see them and reply to them instead of chasing discourse across the internet. Reddit and HN topics become read-only after some time, so I&#x27

Reminds me of how Tic Tacs have "0g sugar" on the label. You'd expect the average person to see this information and extrapolate that they are ingesting 0g of sugar whether they eat 1 or 100 Tic Tacs. > Tic Tac® mints do c

Your whole reason for replying to the submission seems to be "heh, ClojureScript already had this, but better ;)" but I'll chime in to say that the differences between Clojure and Elm, having used both extensively, especially

Once you can analyze all the things someone watches and all the views on a single video, then it's not particularly useful to know if this one person liked this one video. I'm not sure how much it matters how good each episode of

I don't see the upside for Netflix shrinking its catalog. I regularly watch Spanish junk shows to practice the language. And I like particularly bad horror movies when I want some background noise rather than wasting a good movie on ba

IMO writing synchronous code in Javascript seems like the premature optimization (e.g. fear of introducing cognitive overhead of async code?) when async code is so trivial to write and just about everything is already async. Especially for

Aside, Flarum's scrubber/scrollbar is brilliant and a massive upgrade to how you have to navigate a traditional message board like phpbb where you kinda guess at arbitrary pagination til you're where you want to be. Good exam

I wonder how lucid dreaming compares to a phenomenon where (A) we dream that we know we are dreaming and (B) it happens to line up with reality enough that we are convinced we had control. Maybe philosophically there is no difference. But i

I had a dream where I was in my bedroom and noticed that it was arranged in an old way that I had since rearranged a month ago. I suggested to myself that I was in a dream and tried to wake myself up. I woke up into yet another dream where

But what's the difference between that and merely dreaming that you are? Don't you feel like you have control and are making decisions in every dream that you have? Is it really that interesting if you happen to dream that you&#x2

Like most of the animal kingdom, we also live in a world where men must approach the women, and women are the "sexual selectors". I think that asymmetry of the social economy explains a lot more than we think. But we frequently ig
