This was true, imo, ~2 years ago. Does not appear to be the case now, I recently went through the process with Firefox and the developer environment was very very friendly, would be straightforward to fork. (I shipped a Chromium fork in t

For most people, yeah it's worth it. Afaik, yeah they do allow fully offline backup/restore, you don't need to use iCloud for that. I switched away to an Android, so this isn't something I'm taking advantage of per

I'm getting closer and closer to this reality... iphones are basically there, with icloud backup. Have been trying to get less attached to any OS installs, and be fast at building up from a fresh install. Seems hard to even trust you

Sure. I also worked at Facebook for 7.5 years first, and witnessed this performative cancer growing in real-time.

Politics, too. The White House has been on the receiving end of quite a showing of popularity lately.

HN has the flagging system, votes, regulars, and the mods.. and it scales very well they are always on top of it. Gab, the free speech social network, deals with this topic a lot... and likewise does moderation with a flagging system, volun

The interesting bit in the article for me was that if the account was required, and the lame-content posters were gone, the good-content posters also posted less (seemingly, because someone else wasn't wrong on the internet.)

Yep... GNU versions are available for Mac, i.e. `brew install gnu-sed` and then `gsed` works like you'd expect.

In the very hot markets only. Anecdote that matches your experience: I sold a house at the beginning of this year (sf east bay), and it was on the market for a few days and closed ~30 days later. More than a dozen offers, most with no c

This was just one of its suggestions, but you're right of course.. it's all based on the training data and idioms used there. If it doesn't weight more modern code higher, if it's not aware of new versions and methods,

I assume that in its training, incrementing a counter in redis is common.

Likewise skeptical, but I have been super impressed with it. I just got in to the technical preview, and worked through a specific task I needed to do (involving mongoose, a mongo aggregate query, a few loops, some date functions) and star

I'm with you, seems like the title should've stayed. If the framing was a problem, it should be prefixed by who is making the claim.

The goal wasn't more money, there are more variables involved. One way to look at it might be, short-term more money vs long-term total narrative control.

Data wins arguments. One of my least favorite Facebook quotes. Bad data wins arguments, too. The misdirection term here is 'news feed ranking algorithm'... and what that means in the experiment versus what you might think that m

That is how human relations work. If you don't like my lemonade, I really don't have to listen to your alternative recipe. You can get your lemonade somewhere else, or make your own.

Absolutely I should expect they might do nothing. It's their project. That's how it works. Happens all the time.

Definitely less elitism and snobbery, but we have a sense of humor and and awareness of what's currently blacklisted elsewhere. It doesn't make much sense to me, to criticize Gab for highlighting things which are VERBOTTEN elsewh

Obviously it's a subjective thing. I disagree with Drew and his incredibly entitled perspective on this completely. As a user of OSS, the project owner owes me nothing at all, and has no responsibility to field my requests, however v

Great piece. This starts out talking about a silly conspiracy theory, and after solving that, causes me to question a few things I have believed about sugar/hfcs/coke.

That page is due for a change, for sure. We're very resource-constrained.

I think there were indeed some 3rd-party zip disks. I had several drives, thought they were really cool at the time.
