These classless CSS frameworks are insanely popular on HN. There’s one on the front page every other week.

I really don’t understand all the hate, also occasionally here. Also I don’t understand why everyone is building with and hiring for react. Its main selling point is that it is "just a library, not a framework" which I also find t

At first maybe but once projects become larger, its often preferable to have a complete toolset which is feature-complete and documented in the same place. I do not like spending time on things such as choosing which router to use, or which

Validation of the longest chain, agreed upon by the protocol which the nodes are running. This is the absolute fundamental of this technology. This is not new and it has been working for more than a decade.

I find Angular much more "boring" than react because it feels much closer to classical HTML/CSS/JS. React basically asks me to mix all of these, which can be distracting

I have to suspect that you are wrong. Can you provide a source? There is no mentioning of difficulty in the spec, instead there are predefined slot times: https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-specs/blob/dev&#x2F

Well it is enforced by the protocol on which all node agree and there needs to be a mechanism for syncing clocks across nodes (also defined by the protocol) but they exist, e.g. https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8946

No, as far as I understood the time between blocks in a PoS chain is basically just a timer (e.g. 10 seconds). There is no need to adjust that dynamically because there is no "race" to solve a problem. I guess it is even more pred

Article is somewhat click bait, it refers to "market share" which I would usually assume to be be the installed base. Instead the Japanese source explicitly says (if I can trust google translate) that this figure refers to sales o

Switzerland is inherently multi-lingual. They have four official languages and there are regions in Switzerland where each of them are predominantly spoken (except for Romansh I guess). The German-speaking part just happens to be the larges

A while ago I ran TOR from this while serving a NodeJS chat via HiddenService. Had no issue reaching it from another network. Not sure if it’s still possible, but this app is quite powerful.

Also it was super easy to bypass the registration with a super simple hack on their old mac app. It’s been a few years but I remember something along the lines of having to use the menu bar to open a file while they were prompting me to pa

Sooo after a quick look through their packages it turns out there is one: https://deno.land/x/trex@v1.3.1 Though I gotta agree that not having to have one is pretty sweet. Just wondering how that would scale and age.

I guess the biggest complaint after it was released was the lack of a packet manager. Not sure if that situation changed. However there was quite some buzz around it, here as well.

Really? Last time I was there around a year ago I was able to connect Proton. I believe the paid plan of ProtonVPN also offers TOR connections. Not a specialist on this, though.
