Spotify is a shady company that doesn't pay artists as well as Apple, it doesn't have a sustainable business model and now that they're public they're hiring PR firms to make timetoplayfair.com and spam HN because they&#

It's not, but I'm curious if you grew up there? I did and it used to be a fine place, not overhyped, not overcrowded, just a fine place. It even used to make sense to work there if you were involved in tech, because tech wasn&#x

Apple's a little better, but anecdotally speaking after deleting facebook from my phone I switched to Apple's News application for reading news on my iPhone, and there are dark patterns in play, or maybe it could be called 'c

Here's what I made, but I'm keeping it stealth this month. I did make an editor/Converter, it's not great, but it makes ANSI's, and 256 colors as well. It's what I did with those ANSI's that's inter

This is great, I've been working on something that tries to do something similar among other things. ANSI's going to come back in a big way - I got a hunch!

Guidelines != Rules. This a direct quote, so I'd think it'd be disingenuous to lowercase it. Probably good that guidelines aren't rules, even though people confuse them more than I'd like. edit: After I posted this I s

I don't know if you're entirely misremembering, I had a Dreamcast around this time and I wasted a ton of time trying to pirate games - I'd set them to download and wait a few days to get the image. Then I'd have to use

React doesn't care whether something is a class or function until Congress notices.

What's the point of this? Angular App is just a webpage once it's all built, so you bundled it with nginx, a webserver and served it. Not really sure why this article was written or how it pertains to Angular, it's just usi

I think this statement requires a source, millions of people are hacking auto-pilot like features each day, causing tens of thousands of fatalities? I don't know if I'd be ok with that, but I don't think it's true.

I mean the guy who comes to your defense here also works on React. I don't think Google makes posts on Hacker News soliciting feedback on Angular and then has their devs start astroturfing the thread. It kind of proves my point. If y

Actually, that's not the trick, you need to look at which post is trying to sow discord versus saying something semi-constructive.

Do you actually work on the React code base or are you part of the marketing team behind React? Tried it, I'm amazed at the hype you guys throw behind this simple framework, looking for more things to steal/hype, facebook? Go ahe

I'd say the trick to "playing by ear" is to learn to improvise over things keeping in mind the key you're playing in. I think there's this misconception that "playing by ear" means you hear a song once an

But we won't "exist" so it's not "critical".

I'm not so sure I follow this argument, one could say the Earth itself is only critical infrastructure because it "exists". So therefore if we destroy the Earth, it wasn't actually "critical" infrastructure, e

by chairmanmow 8y ago
According to your linked article, it could be considered 'Critical.' Not sure how it doesn't fit under the 'telecommunications' umbrella. Subjectively I don't like facebook nor people's dependence on it

I think so. 3.5mm wasn't always a standard, it used to be 1/4". 3.5mm is a consumer standard, replacing it with Bluetooth makes more sense. I say this as someone who does Pro Audio stuff, I just don't use bluetooth fo

I write Typescript for a living, and stink at swift - I don't understand where the author is coming from at all. Does Android support Typescript out of the box? Why shouldn't it as well? I bundle thing into cordova and bang, wha

It depends on the day, but for some reason when I really got to get stuff done, I listen to the theme for Ghostbusters II on repeat all day, Bobby Brown's "Control." I wonder if my coworkers hear me listening to the theme fr

Greater fool theory in action. Let's not take a moment to step back and think about this, because hey it's going up! If I'm positive it's a pyramid scam, why should I put my money into it?

Not sure that's great advice for someone who doesn't know how to play. Sure you can get a decent guitar for that price, but if you don't know how to play it, it's hard to tell. I would wager at least 60% of those guita

Hypercard was the best - I messed with it nearly constantly from when I was 13-15. Remember being stuck in the computer lab for study halls and whipping up animations that would mock teachers at the school. The hardest thing I made at that

So put your web app in a Cordova bundle and you can send push notifications. No need to learn react or write native code. Not a huge problem to solve.

I can't take this article seriously when it shows a survey at the top claiming to show a stack overflow developer survey for back-end technologies that lists Javascript at 54% happiness, and then further down it lists nodeJS at 14% hap
