This is my take too. Bootstrap and foundation's float hack grid systems kept us alive while CSS caught up to "OMG we need to display websites on mobile devices" Then grid and flexbox came along and gave us a native css solu

There's not a comparable device short of plugging a pc in to my tv and I'm not going back to that life. I play retro arch installed from the play store, stream my pc from my office in to RDP, and connect a wireless kb to one of tw

My hope is that Nvidia will just develop a launcher. I think a lot of people will jump ship to third party launchers because of this, though, and the damage will be done. Then we just wait for an HN post about thousands of Shield devices be

A lot of ad conscious users have been glad to pay the premium price for the Shield because of the ad-free experience. I've had the device for years and this is the first time I've been subjected to ads that I can't remove.

I've had the Shield for years and set them up for a few family members. I still believe it's the best device of its kind on the market and I've recommended it every chance so I have a lot of friends with them as well. In the

I hope so too. The disappointing revelation that follows those reveries is that, if it does come to pass, we won't be around to see it. It reminds me of Why We Can't Wait by Dr. King... >Time itself is neutral; it can be used e

These sorts of things are really useful and it's one of the reasons I think everyone should keep their dotfiles on github or similar so they can share their little tricks. Mine are just a compilation of stuff like this that I've p

It's a shame. Google Earth on VR is probably the most amazing and practical use for VR for normal people at the moment. I like to street-view in to other countries and stand in the middle of crowded places with people around me imagini

I respectfully disagree on the basis that, yes revision control is hard, but git provides a relatively beautifully simple api and vocabulary on top of an inherently complex and absolutely necessary set of concepts. When you're working

I think it's a tragedy that just about every developer uses git but most learn add, commit, branch, and merge and then just stop learning. A lot of people are scared of rebase and cherrypick and shut down or get defensive when you ment

I'm kind of surprized that the Pixel line isn't considered the "flasgship of flagships" by more people given that it's literally the flagship first-party manufactured device by the OS creator. It's the closest

WestWorld, particularly S01, is the best take on AI I've ever seen and I consider it must watch TV of this golden era. The concept naturally made for great classic scifi material but the storytelling and execution was absolutely brilli

And purge css is not some "other thing" you have to go get to use tailwind effectively, it's built in! You don't need webpack in the mix or whatever, you just need a couple of lines in your tailwind config. In real life,

The big "aha moment" with dev tools for me was realizing that instead of interacting mainly with the style editor, you transition to interacting primarily with the classname editor with tailwind. Then dev tools is your friend agai

My biggest gripe is that you can't sort by sender. Sure, you can filter but sorting by sender and visually pattern matching is the easiest way to cull and unsub from repetitive promotional emails that might otherwise not stick out in a

Came here for this. When the author made me realize that a lot of our global state is just a client side cache of our server side state and we can apply a longstanding http caching standard (SWR) to manage it, it was as big of an aha momen

Personally, I think this is cool and props to the author for pulling it off. However, the thing that strikes the more scrutinous side of me about all this - the elephant in the room, if you will - is that what the author is doing almost cer

I remember Doug Crockford mentioning the idea of scope based highlighting for JavaScript in a workshop years back and thinking it would be useful. Cool to see it pop back up here. Edit: Here's a scope based js highlighting repo that ci
