I had a very similar experience. Do you know which episode of Midnight Gospel that was?

In theory, yes, but in practice it's a different story. Early on in a project's life, avoiding these pitfalls is easy. But as a project grows both in team and codebase size, those quick CSS hacks to get some functionality out the

Google does not have insight into page views. They can only know if you clicked through to the site, not how many times you loaded that page.

Honestly not as big of a deal as many make it out to be. With EVs, the cars can be constantly charging when stopped. Even for longer trips, the newer, faster chargers can do 180 miles of charge in 15 minutes. This, combined with being able

Once you assign QA to your devs, they will (should) figure out ways to automate as much as possible to reduce the burden that QA has on the team. In my experience, QA teams are usually starved of engineering resources, so a lot of things th

I agree with all of this, except I will add that having a "QA Infrastructure" team does make sense. This team should not be responsible for product testing, but for building the cross-team infra and tooling needed to make it easie

There are plenty of places where "small success" still exists, usually in the form of tools that solve a problem for a specific trade/industry/etc. Though you won't see these small successes on HN. As a society we n

How do you define "algorithmic" filtering?

I am not concerned about hurting the poor corporation. What I am concerned about is having actual laws in place, not enforcement based on outrage. If Facebook is doing thing X, we decide we shouldn't allow thing X, we make thing X ille

Yes, and I don't see crack dealers as the problem in your example. The bigger problem is how society views drugs, addiction, and the criminalization of both. We've all seen how well that's worked for us. Thinking we could app

Banning a harmful substance, and banning a platform for communication are not comparable. There is no shortage of sites that will take Facebook's place. What is the legislation you propose to prevent Facebook, or the millions of other

Facebook doesn't profit from divisiveness, they profit from engagement. The fact that divisive posts encourage more engagement tells me more about people in general, rather than Facebook's business model. > Limit the spread of

Curious how you think it's possible for FB to prevent the spread of disinformation? Everyone likes to pretend like Facebook has the ability to just stop disinformation, when in reality, even defining "disinformation" is basic

The other aspect of vinyl that hasn't been mentioned is the listening experience itself is very different. You don't get the option of being an ADHD music listener. You throw some vinyl on, and you listen to it from the beginning

Why do you think anal/oral sex should be treated different from vaginal?

The point is they may work full-time one week, and then not work for 6 months, or ever again. Once you start classifying people as employees, this low commitment approach becomes nearly impossible to maintain.

The problem is that many drivers prefer having the flexibility to work 5 hours one week and then 50 hours the next. With the new rules, this would not be possible. By taking away this option, you are telling drivers they need to commit to U

The legislation doesn't outright ban those things, but the economics won't work out at scale if Uber has to classify the drivers as employees. Do you want low-commitment employment (from both sides) or do you want employee benefit

I don't think it necessarily means the whole company will fail, but over time, large companies become more risk-averse which opens up room for smaller, nimble companies to gain market share. Tesla being a great example of this. Hell, G

Google Maps beat Mapquest because it was so much better. You could say Apple engages in a similar anti-competitive tactic by preloading all iPhones with Apple Maps. Yet, Google Maps is still used far more by iOS users than Apple Maps even t

Amen. How can you make claims like that so confidently? How can you think you know better about something than the team that built it and/or works on it for a living? Imagine someone making these claims about a product you work on. &qu

I agree with this definition. So how is React a library? You can't just utilize part of React within an existing Angular app. I've built shims between the two frameworks and you can't just use React inside of Angular. When yo

We ran into the same exact issue at my previous employer. It's scary how similar it was to your situation given we also moved our site over to Next.js and we were a competitor to Opendoor. It also wasn't the first time I've r

Most of the time it isn't bad UI but a vocal minority that just hates any change. It's not like these companies release these changes without doing significant user testing and AB testing. If you design based on the opinions of HN

React is not a replacement for jQuery. I've seen many codebases that are written in React, but still include jQuery for some legacy function in the app that references $.param or similar. Using this stat to say anything other than &quo
