I know nearly nothing about ARMO, and I have nothing against you, the company you founded and are CTO of (ARMO), or ARMO providing an open source tool. I appreciate that you have made this work open source. Still, some of us on hackernews d

I agree 100% with that comment :) Including the first part: > 'bash -c $(curl )' doesn't mitigate a website's ability to detect whether you're downloading a file via curl versus accessing it in a browser You&#x27

Agreed, I'd prefer a GitHub issue over an advertisement. The HN user who posted this works for the company that wrote this post, and that person's title is "VP Marketing & Business Development". The issue contains a

git has a narrow target market, which is developers. There's a high percentage of cloning, so if GitHub goes away all the data remains on people's machines. Things that are supposed to be able to become mainstream have to expect d

That doesn't support type checking, see https://github.com/swc-project/swc/issues/571 You'd still need to run `tsc` to check types even if you used swc

I wonder if they will write a TypeScript type checker in rust? TypeScript currently only has one serious implementation that actually checks types (esbuild, for example, does no type checking). Getting another one that's written in rus

But if you want a good user experience, you should really use `scrollTo({ top: 0, left: 0, behavior: 'smooth' })` Smooth scrolling in 42B (minified, not gzipped) rather than 7KB, and supported by 85% of users' browsers (sourc

I did not downvote you. I think it's wonderful that people love the UI of SourceHut. You've put a lot of effort in and made a product that many people love, and that is fantastic and a hell of a lot more than I can say for myself.

I, on the other hand, dislike this design. Consider how many devs use Apple products - proprietary products that come in a walled garden, and that in many ways go against developers. A good amount of it comes down to aesthetics. Were Source

You're right about the flaw in tying capitalism to individual benefit, however, don't those parents also appreciate the love a not-so-fortunate parent has for their own child? If they want such great opportunities for their child,
