While the article does advocate for objects vs arrays for returning multiple values I wanted to address the second part of you comment. It will work just fine in TypeScript, where you can define a "fixed size" array as a type:

Bought the full version and played it for a good few hours - lovely game! After a while it did feel slightly too similar to work though (programming), as once you unlock copy pasting of structures it's really all about optimising. Stil

I think the main point against analogies is when they are used as proof for the situation they are being compared to. I'm not versed in formal logic, but I believe it would be: "A -> B", and I want to prove that "C -&

After recently joining a new company this was one of my big contributions, I went through the whole codebase and removed legacy/unused code, or merged code that was slightly different into a more general version. Spent a good 2 weeks o

Fully agree with this, I think having color variables like blue-500, orange-100 is completely counter-productive. What's the point of color variables, if they just describe the color they are... We already have color names for that.

I think you’ve nailed it. It’s something that’s possible, but very difficult and it requires a lot of additional work to keep it going and progress the friendship.

Wasn't that what flash/shockwave and similar stacks did back then? I fully agree, having the web _describe_ what it wants, and the browser render it makes it so much more accessible at least.

That sounds really fascinating! Could you give more examples of those adverbs, or ACT in general? Do you apply it in your own life, and if so, how? (If you don’t mind sharing!)

I'm half way through "The Course of Love" by Alain de Botton and I think it's an amazing read for anyone with children, or thinking about having them (coming from someone yet to have them!)

Have you already done anything towards this goal? This is something I’ve been thinking about for several years and I’m about to tackle as a side project so would love to chat with you if you want. My contact info is on my profile

Fwiw Twitch is now owned by Amazon, not sure if it was/is profitable though - but it may be that the cost of such massive video platforms is too high to run without a parent company that can subsidise the costs. In the case of Google&#

Looks great! What libraries have you guys used in the frontend, if you don't mind sharing? I worked on an internal tool at a company with a slightly similar UI so I'm curious about it

Is there a way to have good async group video chat? I haven't given this much thought but maybe this is an interesting direction to explore?

This could be it, but current headsets are not that comfy after too much use, and if you don't have AC at home (tons of EU homes won't have them) they can be a nightmare in the summer...

When the time is over you should let people exchange contact info if they want - and if both say yes then they see it or something like that.

In a way I like the approach, and I guess I’d have to try it to actually fet a feel for it because it seems to introduce a ton of additional work figuring out sane ways to split the code in branches... Although it has a great side effect of

Work in progress, but a couple of friends and me are making an online chat for small groups of people - just a quick place to have a random conversation, although if you come back we try to put you back with the same people if available Onl

Maybe it's just the wording we use, but when you say "But in my life philosophy, it's not so much important to be happy, as to be a good person and to have a fulfilling life." Doesn't that mean that being a good per

And then close HN because they are procrastinating from doing the job we programmed them to do. But they turned out to be too intelligent for, and are getting bored.

Aside from the other great points that have been made already in other top comments, I have a little nitpick (or feedback for the author, if they're a reader): charts should have axis labels, units, and ticks. Otherwise you might as we

Could very well be, she had a very basic plan (around 10Mbps), while I had a fiber plan on 200Mbps so maybe that was the issue. I can't recall how it was with other people though.

Just a little anecdote that’s relevant here. Around 10 years ago my girlfriend didn’t have wifi home yet (low tech family), so we spoke at night over landline, as those calls were free. And it definitely did feel like what some people here
