Interesting. Yes this is definitely in the direction I was thinking. I'd also say Repl.it is very similar too. Maybe they'll be acquired.

One step closer to Linting as a Service. That'll be next, along with Compilation/Build Systems as a Service. Or more likely part of the whole IDE moving to the cloud. The pain being solved here is that setting up the right develop

If you mean respect for privacy in general by companies, I think this comes down to people needing to first want it more. Like a lot more. We only started seeing things such as GDPR and CCPA after Cambridge Analytica caused people to unders

It seems SEMrush or Ahrefs can provide SEO organic rankings of pages, which might be a close but imperfect proxy to finding the most visited URLs of a site.

Ask HN: Is there an API that can tell me the most popular pages on a site?

I recall the argument for a dark theme in editors/IDEs was to make it visually easier to see color differences in code syntax. With a white background, the white light competes with the colors. Where as if you're reading an articl

My guess is if there wasn't a Lighthouse score, the focus would be on another singular metric instead, like First Contentful Paint for web performance. The score, while imperfect, helps at least to have a focus on something that weighs

Right, which is why "improving one's soul" isn't the only meaning of jihad. This is pointed out in the article I linked. > The word jihad comes from the Arabic jahada, which is perhaps best translated as "struggl

Where's the violence though? Or are they applying the stereotypical western misunderstanding of jihad = violence/terrorism? https://news.gallup.com/poll/7333/jihad-holy-war-internal-sp...

Having failed the startup game my fair share of times, I've found a more reliable way to come up with good ideas is to let others who need something give you ideas. Work in a specific industry long enough that you learn about the trade

"TiVo, but for the browser."

Yeah kind of like this, but without having to use a browser. I guess I could wrap Electron around this, but groan .

I haven't seen something like Github's file browser in Sublime Merge. That is, where I can browse ALL the files in a particular branch, just like on Github. Maybe I haven't dug in enough if this exists.

I wish there was UI that I could just point at a repository locally and get a GitHub-like view of the repository, where I can browse all the files, see their last commit date/message, click on them, and see the contents as well as hist

I worked in Facebook briefly, and the reason why Dan (who also is/was at Facebook) might be suggesting this is because this is the practice at Facebook: all "JS" files use the same build system and file extension. Which is to

To be honest, I don't run into much JS code that doesn't have proper extensions, but that's just been my experience for the past 6 or whatever years I've been using Node.js. If I use JSX, I use .jsx as an extension. Like

So basically the entire series of issues can be rooted to the fact they're trying to run TypeScript code in Node/a browser. This doesn't seem like an issue with "today's JavaScript" but rather a symptom of eith

No, I usually don't install apps for things like grills, refrigerators, trashcans or other domestic objects since I can't imagine they'd offer me anything obviously beneficial. I'm sure that's why I haven't enj

Why does Weber have their own browser? Or is this one of those embedded browsers in an app? If the latter, why do they need an embedded browser in their app?

It's a shame this conversations always has to split into either of two camps: dogmatically for standardized testing or against it. It's almost as if there's no awareness that perhaps it could be beneficial to try both, perhap

by jameslk 6y ago
Yes exactly. This is why every tech company should apply this type of standardized testing to software engineers as well. We can test for specific types of algorithms and have them regurgitate them on whiteboards, making it easy to compare

For a lot of stores, Shopify is just an API for your store. There's a big trend in ecommerce of going "headless" and using Shopify's API to push your products out to many channels. In that sense, Shopify is merely a spec

Sounds like issues that can be mitigated with a review system? The land owner can submit ratings on how well the farmer took care of their land. Once it's all on a platform, they can quantify all these things, reducing the farmers down
