At least for young children, a parent is more likely to be accused of abuse for not knowing where they are at all times, in this day and age.

The original comment that says anything short of "autonomy over themselves, their proprerty, and their privacy" is child abuse still does trivialize real abuse. I think you still have time to edit that comment to be more specific

I'll quote myself on this one: "The Chevrolet Nova sold poorly in English-speaking countries, where its name means a gigantic explosion." https://twitter.com/brlewis/status/606907900448129025

Do you have statistics on how much time people spend playing Candy Crush or other modern games? I think a lot of people have spent 70 hours watching Game of Thrones. But if length is really a problem, making shorter versions wouldn't b

Yes, possibly for single-player interactive fiction. But kids these days spend a lot of time in multi-person text conversations, pointing to a MUD resurgence. Maybe we'll see both.

I am one of those people who talked about switching from emacs to VS Code. I ended up learning just enough to teach it to my daughter, then stuck with emacs for everything I do myself. Now that I read about all these younger people switchin

I've been using the default keybindings for decades and never had RSI issues. The only time my wrist has started to bother me is when I use some other program that involves a lot of mouse motion.

Just bash, the command-line tools one uses from bash, LaTeX, and emacs/vim. I think git will stick around for decades even though its predecessors didn't.

Since git users keep complete copies as a matter of course, the effect of github deletions is less dramatic. I realize this doesn't help for related information such as issue discussion.

There are better shortcuts today. Use passport-twitter or some other package to authenticate using a third party. Works for local development too as long as you're connected to the Internet when you want to log in.

An earlier screen-reader discussion suggested that <main> is of interest to screen-reader users. I presume that's because it generally doesn't repeat navigation that exists on every page. https://news.ycombinator.

The font was made via adjustments to an existing font https://github.com/impallari/Libre-Franklin so I doubt this was one designer's dream project.

"ask them question after question to justify their choices" Asking questions is not assuming. I think you're letting yourself be triggered by a flippant remark at the end of an otherwise solid comment.

The title is inadvertently misleading. I was expecting an article critical of React. A dilemma is a choice that's inherently difficult because neither option is desirable. But I think they are just using dilemma to mean a choice with t
