No, because despite the deceptive title it does actually use server side processing. It relies on https://www.jsonstore.io/ for the actual data storage.

Looks good, Choco is certainly not perfect. How do you handle different old versions? Are they stored in GitHub in the same YAML file or is there some other mechanism for handling this?

Most of these sites provide read only API keys so this is not necessary.

And Phab is written in PHP, if some of the posters from previous HN discussions about PHP were to be believed there would be no point even looking at this software compared to one written in Ruby.

A job description a bit more detailed and perhaps some info about the company would probably be helpful.

Thanks for posting this. It's much more fleshed out than my hazy memory of a GitHub comment although I still don't agree that all this effort it is worth the "simplification" of not having a lock file.

I wish they had just copied Rust/Cargo. I remember reading a comment on GitHub somewhere from one of the Go maintainers who responded to someone expressing a similar sentiment and his reply was basically that Go is somehow different th

I really can't stand JP, I'm glad to see more people coming with articles opposing him. I feel like in a lot of cases in interviews he rambles off and touches on so many different points that people have a hard time responding to

But do those things really contribute to the sophistication of the software? For example imagine some code written with no understanding of uranium enrichment: const int CENTRIFUGE_RPM = 500; And then some other code written with a

Lighten up. The obviously bad idea of offering potential dates a cash reward is what makes this joke funny because in the context of running a Facebook ad campaign discounts and promotions are quite common.

How is that not accurate? Renting out a room for someone to live in is legal but in some places it isn't illegal to do so without the proper zoning and/or permits. Therefore you would call someone doing that "illegally rentin

This is meaningless without some kind of guarantee they won't increase their cut in the future. It's like, invest significant effort into developing for our platform because we will give you 95% of the revenue. Oh you (and many li

On Windows I like Sumatra ( https://www.sumatrapdfreader.org/free-pdf-reader.html ), it's only a few MBs and opens blazing fast and I have never had a problem reading any PDFs with it. There's also some nifty things

This. A common answer to criticism of systems in need of replacing is that it is simply too big, too complex and depends on too many old legacy components to make any large changes to. The real solution is not to get into these scenarios in

Those performance improvements sound too good to be true, how does this compare to Yarn? Although these are all excellent features I am disappointed to see that there is no support for Yarn's "flat mode" which installs all de

They use similar deceptive practices with Audible. You can't cancel your account without losing the credits you have already paid for. I believe this works so well because people wishing to cancel probably have unused credits but when

If it stops growing and the "massive amounts of money" it generates result in a profit, then shareholders like the parent could vote that the company starts paying dividends to shareholders. So to answer your question: Yes.

There must be a way to carefully craft the law to prevent those sorts of workarounds, no? For example, the business who is making the transaction with the person whose data is leaked is liable. So the consumers in the case of a retailer, or

You bring up a good point but I think the difference is the severity of the piece of information in question. Pedophilia and bankruptcies are already considered special bits of data that have their own dedicated information registries that

I think this article is based on a false premise: that you are somehow wasting money because your mortgage is going towards space you aren't using. Real estate is not the same thing as car payments for a sports car or spending money on

In some sense, I feel like the big frontend frameworks are very useful for large apps but they became the default for even the most basic interactions. Now some developers are realizing that for their basic needs it is simpler to go back to

Personally I have found that structuring my code so that I am able to write unit tests has been far more useful than any unit tests themselves. For your code to be testable it requires a certain structure and decoupling of dependencies that

Probably pretty valuable which is why Stripe is doing it for their customers: https://stripe.com/docs/radar I am not sure how viable this would be as a standalone product though.
