This sounds like a really useful thing to do. How do you set something like this up in a dev environment?

The fact that I have to rely upon a news site with some of the worst IN YOUR FACE ad UI to embed each tweet in this conversation thread individually is pretty damning for Twitter. Why can't I organically discover / follow this o

I really enjoyed the writing style of the author. Great content. Why don't we just use lat long coordinates or geohashes for addresses? The shit that delivery people have to put up with is truly ridiculous.

I am currently living in Shanghai and I use Mobike, Ofo, or 赶赶单车 to get to work everyday. I have logged over 250km between the services. This article is largely unfair. The city has large swaths of sidewalk established as bike parking zones

An understandable misconception when the freedom of presses enables publicly airing anyone's dirty laundry. Not to mention that (god forbid) there is actual debate and conflict between our citizens on the best way to handle issues. The

I'm frightened by how a seemingly pragmatic government has been able to spiral into dogmatic, protectionists policies so rapidly. I suppose that I mistook the recent decades of economic development as evidence of true ideological refor

In China with Alipay, I receive transfers instantly and deposits to my bank account "can take up to 2 hours", but typically land within 5 minutes. I get instant WeChat notifications whenever my card is used. Although, to be honest

Comparing modern Seattle to the insane totalitarian, 100% owned by Steel and Coal refineries company towns of the 19th century is sensationalism at it's prime. These towns controlled everything about your life and were willing to use n

It wasn't my assumption as much as my empirical findings. I like being in the office, so I never worked from home.

I think that stems from the many people that "work from home" only to take their cat to the vet, get their car washed, go to the dentist, and pick up their dry-cleaning. Most of the time whenever I hear the term "working from

Using the online editor on Android with Firefox is essentially unusable. It feels almost like Laverna is trying to do autocorrect at the same time as my keyboard. Characters appear and disappear as I type which makes for a really confusing

Ah. I see your point. I failed to consider the context of this application in particular.

More along the lines of: I now fully expect the cost of entrance for free applications to be data the developers collect of my usage. It's naive to assume otherwise. EDIT: grammar

Is this just marketing copy they asked you to post in the comments? Few times have a ever spoken so highly of a product. What specifically makes Superhuman "indispensable"? It doesn't really seem like they've innovated t

Serious Question: can you actually type using this?

I think I'm only surprised to see this comment and not that Firefox bundled analytics into their app. What's controversial about anonymized usage statistics in 2017?

Hue integration is one of the most interesting applications of IoT that I've read about in a while. An entirely obvious application once I think about it, but something I never thought about until now. Looking forward to trying that ou

Yeah. I was referring to installing the applications from China. I was unaware of the ability to add a non-Chinese iTunes account to circumvent the issue. Thanks for correcting me!

As someone living in China, a VPN provider that doesn't provide direct download links to their Android client is completely useless. The only way for me to install an app from Google Play store is to flash a custom ROM and install the

As someone rather unfamiliar with the differences in cloud containerization options, I've been extremely confused anytime I see extremely opinionated arguments about cloud infra. This article was a breath of fresh air and is exactly

After a quick search, there is no license file in this project. Whether that was done intentionally or unintentionally has yet to be determined.

I'm new to frontend in general and wondering if I could trouble you for some context. Why is Firefox's CSS styling engine not already "in" the browser? To me it seems like Stylo is just a parallelized replacement for the

Purely speculation here, but I would think that devs would want to invest their time in established gaming platforms with established customer bases. Native applications with large amounts of engine / tooling built around them. Again s
