Dahy-um . That's some real money and margins. Just listening to the chatter -- posts, new stories, etc., I was kind of expecting to see some kind of meta doom. But they are rolling in dough. It's just pumping in. I'm pretty

Calling something stochastic terrorism is speech... by your own logic, shouldn't you be defending their free-speech rights to use the term stochastic terrorism? You say "crack down" but it's just an online comment here,

Seems like he was hoping to get his twitter followers to harass them in a manner similar to the way he did -- otherwise why tweet it? Probably receiving death threats causes a lot of real anxiety (not just the PC snowflake kind). That'

I used Sketch recently and it was a good and effective communication tool between dev, design, client, and pm from my perspective (dev). I assume design too, since it was their choice. I'm not sure what it was missing before, but it se

> Job market realities. It’s tougher than it’s been in a decade, with fewer jobs, and more qualified candidates. This is great if you’re hiring, but harder for applicants. Is this true? Layoffs make the headlines, but the unemployment ra

This is the old "things aren't the way they used to be" complaint. Always a crowd-pleaser, but also an inevitable constant and not necessarily bad. It's also really weak how it throws "safetyism" in there even

BTW, I bet HN would love a candid review from someone trying the AVP out for this purpose after they've worked with it a while. (I know I would.) Just sayin' in case you want to document your experience for those of us who are cur

Why assume people spending a lot of time consuming content by themselves is bad? It can certainly be done at an unhealthy level but you can say that about a lot of things. If it is bad, then you'd have to discourage things like reading

Try searching it? I don’t know why anyone would argue a matter of fact from a position of ignorance, especially when it’s a trivial effort to relieve.

You want to be sure your pet won’t chew/eat it. I use a case that slides on to a tag collar like a belt loop. Like these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BGQGZLP6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b... Also, while air t

Chips are good when someone finds your pet (and takes it somewhere with a chip reader). But many lost pets are scared and skittish and won’t come anywhere close enough to strangers to be caught. The main purpose of posters is to make people

If I understand correctly, you're talking about making HTTP requests from code running in the browser to a third-party API. Whether you're doing WASM or Javascript, you use fetch() and need to have your CORS ducks in a row. How ex

I believe what is being proposed is a static site where user data is persisted locally using the WASM sqlite + OPFS. I guess it is also organized like a typical web app, but the app logic and database logic run locally. I was expecting some

Aren't all computer languages entirely composed of abstractions, essentially? I don't think you can infer anything from the examples being abstractions.

by jmull 3y ago
I don't think the point is about abstractions... it's how much you can understand about how the code executes by reading it. Abstractions are fine, of course. In Zig, though, they should be explicit and clear. E.g., the only way t

To add more context: Mitt Romney, the author of this op-ed, went on to be the republican nominee in 2012. By then this had proven to be a very bad take. I don't know that he ever really had much chance against an incumbent Obama, but I

The wildly over-broad part of this is that anyone making a "personalized cloning service" available is liable under this law. That's nuts because there numerous legitimate uses for such a service. This law would cover anythin

Queues aren't really the problem here. It's that the people making changes don't have a decent understanding of the system they are trying to fix. If you don't actually know what the problem is, your fix is not likely to

It’s awfully strange, in my experience, that her manager wouldn’t be there. Makes me wonder if he hadn’t been let go too?

That's great! (If only a good writer could make all my points for me) It's not all programs, but the ones that last (you know, the ones people actually use) get more and more like this over time, no matter how they start. It'
