Between the UN fact-finding mission saying Facebook played a “determining role” in the genocide, the Bosworth memo, and the shit ton of access we now have thanks to the whistleblower, how is this not a strong case?

Didn’t read the article, but I have to rant a little bit. Working with `useEffect()` is so fucking miserable. It’s a bit like owning a car where the gaps between the panels are just slightly too far apart; there’s always the possibility tha

I think not being subjected to terrible, emotionally manipulative ads for 1/3 of the time you’re watching TV/Movies is the actual win for consumers in the streaming era.

Are these RegExps/Date objects passed as props? I’m not sure why a VDOM algorithm would have to handle these types of objects.

I wish the authors thought a little bit more about the actual physicality of typing out commands. `exa` on a QWERTY keyboard is typed on one hand, across three rows, and with the weakest fingers. I guess I could put this into muscle memory,

The CEO (eastdakota) has previously said the clause does not apply to services like Cloudflare workers on this very site ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20791605 ). I also think the phrase “Unless explicitly included a

At no point in the blog post did they offer any conjecture about what was happening at Facebook. All of their information was general descriptions of DNS and BGP, or descriptions of how the Facebook outage was experienced on their end from

It’s amusing that this quote has inflated like most things today. Original quote was (“If you owe the bank $100 that's your problem. If you owe the bank $100 million, that's the bank's problem.”)

An alternative is to use soft tabs for anything that needs to be aligned, especially if the things appears after other code which is already indented. An even better alternative is to not use align code like this, as it invariably leads to

Who’s to say that our greatest writers didn’t “trip over meaning”? A lot of poetic processes involve finding, curating and re-contextualizing interesting phrases (see found poetry), and there’s potentially a lot of value in applying the sam

UTF-32 is a bit like giving up and saying code units equal code points right? I’m more interested in the comparison between UTF-8 and UTF-16, where UTF-8 requires 1 to 3 bytes just in the BMP, with 3 bytes for CJK characters. I’m saying tha

Why do people prefer UTF-8 coordinates? While for storage I think we should use UTF-8, when working with strings live it’s just so much easier to use UTF-16 because it’s predictable: 1 unit for the basic plane and 2 for everything else (the

This post upsets me. I’m sorry, I can’t imagine anything more insipid than a UCB 201 class where the majority of students were software engineers. It’s yet another example of nouveau-rich tech workers obliviously ruining something with thei

Some developers would interpret your rule as being, if it doesn’t make sense for you to make this property access on this specific object, the value should resolve to undefined and not null. Problem is, there already are mechanics for a kin

Trying to finely parse the semantics of null and undefined like this is a fool’s errand, insofar as there isn’t much in the language which enforces your conventions. Also, these conventions fall apart when we check how null is actually used
