Website is quite annoying to use on mobile. Scrolling behaviors get interpreted as taps which close the container you're reading.

This article claims that Hyperscript is "Something you could just type out from memory, without referencing anything". I don't understand this assertion at all. There is a grammar that must be learned, and it is different fro

As with many projects that bubble to the top of HN, I wish there was more justification of what problem this is trying to solve. Of course "just for fun" is a totally valid reason, but this seems to go beyond that and it's no

For me it's more convenient than curl for three reasons mainly: 1. Easier to organize collections of requests in a visual hierarchy 2. Environments mean you can use the same collection to easily execute against local, dev, staging, pro

The blog post mentions that using vite requires installing a dev env via npm, and that wasn't straightforward enough for the authors use case. I still don't understand though, because vlite is also installed via npm, as would reac

My understanding (could be totally wrong) is that esbuild has historically been less open to widespread collaboration than some other open source projects, so adding the features they needed may have been untenable. I have no authority and

I never said I wanted to censor the author, just that I was personally tired of people with this kind of "me vs the world" view of humanity. I agree subjective expression and free speech are fundamental to healthy existence.

I agree that there are people in the world who regularly trample on common notions of ethics and morals. It is really sad and frustrating that such people exist. I still find empathy to be a better reaction than blame and contempt. It is fo

I totally agree incompetence exists in the world, and totally agree it can be frustrating to observe or deal with. If the article had been titled "Brotherhood of Incompetence" I might have reacted differently. Even so, I find the

I got part way through and quit. I appreciate the author's perspective, but I'm kind of tired of people so adamantly avoiding empathy. It's easy to say someone is acting stupidly; it's much harder to put yourself in thei

For me, creating a new programming language which is suitable for general purpose programming would be extremely hard, regardless of how novel or good it is. But, fair point that "hard" is always subjective.

Are you suggesting that creating a new programming language from scratch is a trivial exercise? If yes, wow. If no, I think the intention of your comment could be more clear, particularly regarding the quote you took from the original comme

Totally agree with this, it would be really nice to be able to request clues without submitting an invalid guess. It could still count towards one of your four guesses but I think from a UX perspective it's nicer to be able to admit ig

Interesting idea that it might have more impact on regulation than as an intrinsic market force. I might not fully understand the idea or implications fully. Seems like it might be worth dwelling on more and fleshing out more fully as you c

Apologies, I'm not tracking your argument. The first part of your posts seems to suggest that focusing on early adopters will lead to mass adoption. But I'm not following the last part where you indicate you've dumped popular

I'm not sure I have strong feelings about it, but here are a few thoughts: 1. I think a more universal content aggregation / discovery tool would be beneficial for many people. Google might be the analog that comes to mind. This m

To me, this reply is more valuable than the original post simply because it's written without such heavy dependence on jargon. It also does a better job of "showing, not telling" examples of the behavior that need to be handl

I'm fully aware of how unsatisfying this reply is, but unfortunately I can't seem to find links. It's been a few years since I was deep diving into ledgers and I must have cleared my bookmarks from that time.

I appreciate the reply. I think I would have appreciated a more clear description of how you are reasoning mathematically about your distributed systems. Simply claiming that you can and do is fine, but as an engineer I would have loved m

I'm not sure who is the audience of this article. I've worked in fintech and have read several practical guides on ledgers and found them interesting reads. In contrast, this one is laden with overly verbose language whose meaning

That's hilarious, I didn't even realize it was a clickable link! Well, file formats aside, props to the team for including an audio recording of how to pronounce it.

The most fascinating part of this post to me is that even after reading the pronunciation key [1] I still don't feel confident that I'm saying the product name correctly. It makes me reflect on how English-centric the web still is
