The way I see it, it's a matter of who owns the chrome. Historically, we've seen that it is a losing battle to insist everyone uses your toys (e.g.: web input elements). I am not overtly opposed to keeping the protocol lean so l

I'm genuinely happy for the city pairs which this system is working for, but it's difficult to ignore the taste of sour grapes. Despite living within walking distance of the Amtrak Atlanta station, it's completely useless to

Isn't that the functional purpose of hashtags? So that people interested in a topic can find information about it? Wouldn't this tweet be highly relevant to people searching with that tag?

Well, if you squint a little bit, this all looks kind of like a military coup. Through the cultivation of personal loyalty in his ranks, General Altman became able to ignore orders, cross the Rubicon, and subjugate the senate. It's an

That's not entirely true. As a 501(c)(3) organization, they are bound to honor their founding bylaws on pain of having their tax-exempt status revoked w/ retroactive consequences. I won't comment on whether this is the fault

Right. That's the thing which I found to be so depressing. Just because I think that it was clever does not mean that I think it was successful. Out of curiousity, with the benefit of hindsight; what would you have tried doing differen

I'm aware. The quote just so happened to appear in a Youtube program called Code Report yesterday, so I thought you might've been a viewer. I didn't mean to imply anything beyond that, sorry for the confusion.

A fellow Code Report viewer, I assume?

Ah, but isn't that the whole thing about corporations? They're supposed to outlast their founders. If the corporation fails to do what it was created to do, then I view that as a structural failure. A building may collapse due to

It's actually a very clever structure! Please open the following image to follow along as I elaborate: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F_PGOPOacAApU8e.jpg At the top level, there is the non-profit board of directors (

The really depressing thing is that the board anticipated exactly this type of outcome when they were going "capped profit" and deliberately restructured the company with the specific goal of preventing this from happening... ye

I mean... yeah, you obviously have to trust someone to vouch for the authenticity of an identity. In the case of Github, that's the platform owner. In the case of a digital signature, that's the root certificate authority. With

In order to isolate one part of the software as "the bad bits", you need either clear specific language in the law or a clearly established relevant legal precedent. Neither of these things currently exist in the context of DMCA

esm.sh is a decent solution for this. It's not totally ideal... but it'll turn NPM modules into ES6-compatible URLs no problem.

Seems like the logical way to do it. Though, honestly, unless you specifically need to do lots of different kinds of padding, something like this makes way more sense: const bespokePad = (x) => ('000000' + x).slice(-6)

Haha, that would be quite the appropriate place to put one of those "Please wait and try again" error messages.

There's hardly any need to apologize for that . GDOT doesn't exactly give most people a practical choice in the matter. Pay no mind to that ridiculous chant of "we full", it is completely untrue for the Atlanta area giv

My bad! Thanks for the fact check and keeping me honest. I'm rather glad that the rest of my rant somehow manages to hold up under closer scrutiny! I'd edit my original post to reflect the correction, but HN puts a timer on these

I'm a different person, but speaking as a GA resident I kind of agree. Very little gets done that doesn't support the status quo. I'll take this an excuse to list a few personal grievances: * Georgia DOT is notorious for not

This is true, but I think it's better put this way: The key is making it a hobby. Expertise comes with experience and experience will only come if you keep coming back . Some people can force themselves to toil endlessly, but here&#

Yeah, except you can only change one line at a time and you lose all of your changes if it doesn't compile at any point.

Well, it's in a 3D perspective so we have the third option of saying that they're both to scale and that the perceived size difference is a forced-perspective illusion. In that case you could actually measure the distance depict

Those tone probes are so fun to play with! I highly recommend anyone with a spare $15 to grab a cheapo model and just... run around the home with it. It's an enlightening experience to actually perceive with your own ears the normally

XD I figured that this one might be a tough nut to crack! I'm very interested to see how well it handles extracting in-code documentation when the embedded README is so sparse. I suspect that the resulting quality is going to hinge rat

Reminds me of the Japanese pronoun 君 ( pronounced "ki-mi" ). The nuance is surprisingly similar ( appropriate for lovers & underlings, almost never strangers ), cultural & geographical gaps notwithstanding. Makes you wonde

Hard to say. It looks like this article has been republished in several different outlets but originally came from the AP[1]. At first glance they appear to cite the statistic as coming from the EU Tax Observatory, but it's worded in s
