This frames it a lot as a competition; it really isn't. Facebook Open Source is a contributor to Vue. I think it just resonates with the community that this is a Patreon-backed, very community-driven project, whereas React has Facebook

If anything this makes things more inefficient, because I bet a lot of core infrastructure will have to be laid out many times over.

Didn't they rename to SonarQube though? All of SonarSource's products are named Sonar.*, which is unfortunate but in theory there should be no collisions on a Google search.

Well, infra is only one part of the system. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I feel like Facebook doesn't crash much nowadays so their infra is definitely stable, but their product code could use more work.

There's two fronts worth noting: First, Android is huge, oscillating around 85% world wide market share [1]. In many parts of the world it's the only real option for customers. You might use Facebook because your group chat is the

It's been like this with every big tech company though; Microsoft had (has?) a monopoly on the desktop OS (the only OS that mattered back then), before it diversified. Google had (has?) a monopoly on search before it diversified. Amazo

Getting a 502. I feel sorry for the Gitlab on-call right now; the rumors came in a day too early to fully enjoy the weekend.

It irks me that not only this feature is called Autopilot, but it doesn't even come with a "beta" label. Gmail was in beta for like 5 years. You go to Tesla's website and it greets you with (as of the time this comment w

It's not as complicated a problem. Turning off the feature when hands aren't at the wheel, or not calling it "Autopilot" so people don't assume it's smarter than it is, IMO, should be enough.

I think it's just about how much legacy code, and in which sites. +1 though. I'd really like to see a version of JavaScript not only with new features, but also without some (all?) of the weird semantics it was once dreaded for. T

1. This doesn't mean it will never happen again, or in other contexts (not "My Day"). 2. Google still has the capacity to do it, and sure, this was a mistake, but just like Android records people's location by default, i

Idea: make the camera tiny (smartphone-like) and put it on suction cup. To pick up a call you don't tap a button; you grab it and put it on the screen on the other person's forehead (like a Bindi). To hang up, you pick it up and p

Thanks for the thoughtful answer, I agree with you, and am glad you don't consider yourself a trend-follower. Stay critical, HN.

What's with the U.S.'s obsession with efficiency? Life is much more than that. So what if your employees are not working at full efficiency? I doubt a lot of these execs work without taking breaks.

Lets be real though. Youtube binge-watching is not a matter of "forgetting" to take a break. We have clocks— we’ve all been there bingeing and thinking "uh, when the clock hits XX:00 I’ll stop watching" or "I’ll st

Exactly. The PR game is tough, so they have to make moves like these, but it gleams unauthentic when you consider there's teams at Google dedicated to increasing watch-time on Youtube, for example. If they were really focusing on digit
