I'm still shit at these things, but so far, I seriously cannot understand how hedge funds get away with "shorting", but people doing the same thing in reverse is market manipulation. From this (admittedly naive) POV, this sou

I've worked in environments using the exact approach you described, and it definitely seems like the prevalent workflow using these CMSs. Still doesn't help that most WP sites I've ever seen inevitably were those huge card ca

Ah, I always use the toolbar button rather than the context menu shortcut, so it's a non-issue in my case, as it just will ask me to log-in there. Yeah, that would definitely be a better flow. Maybe I'm just "used" to it

Curious as to where Servo's gonna go from here, after the Mozilla layoffs... I'd really love for something non-Chromium to take off.

Would we see Intel/Samsung/IBM contribute to the Linux kernel if it wasn't in their self-interest? That's just how business tends to go as a general rule, IMHO. At least, I generally are more surprised to see a company g

There is also an OSS hard-fork of Franz called Ferdi, for anyone interested. Been using it for some time, I don't love nor hate it.

Those are glorified browsers wrapping the web based clients in dedicated "tabs". AFAIK it looks like Beeper hosts a matrix<->service bridge between those platforms, and their client actually unifies messages in a single inbo

Doesn't this basically boil down to the model we currently have, but decentralized, or am I misunderstanding?

Meh, depends. For their case, for an internal CLI tool that will get used interactively on development environments, it's fine, the cost of switching is not very heavy. At worst they're postponing the work of deploying on other pa

When you have one thing to nail and already own a hammer, why go and buy another one? Even if it's not a good one, it's gonna do the job, and be the least trouble.

In their particular case, what's the trade-off that's so terrible though? They already all have npm, they had a binary to distribute, and they distributed it.

It does look quite a bit snappier indeed, but as I said in my previous comment as well: > specs related or not, UI is a major part of the experience When someone buys a phone (or hell, a computer), they're buying a package of hardwa

Not sure what would you have preferred? I can only think of inline, but I'm not sure how well that would have worked in an IM application, where you'd typically expect things to be in chronological order. You basically described t

Again, those "selling points" are extremely fringe. Let's not pretend like grandma (and the average phone user) cares about hardware killswitches, DP over USB-C, etc... Like they say themselves in that very article you posted

Indeed, the $2k example was misleading, but the fact it's still $800 for a phone with 2014 specs alone would have been more than enough to get his point across. You do have to pay 3-4x the price you would otherwise to get the privilege

Apart from being stuck to a single level in depth (which IMHO kind of makes sense in the context of an IM platform), what's that bad about Slack's threads?

Sure. My point was more that they're two very different, and not really comparable things.

"Do very well" in a community and business sense are two very, very different things.

Ever read "unseen before footage", "exclusive archive content", "behind the scenes"? These come from content they didn't use and stashed away. If they just package it all with the initial product, they mor

I'd be curious to see this for other games for comparison. The number seems high, but when I start really thinking about it, I can't think of many games where multiple endings relied on much more than a handful of key decisions.

I wouldn't call having only a subset of system calls, no containerization, no background services, no proper init system, no kernel modules, "not all that limited". But maybe that's just my use case.
