Congrats on launching! I'd recommend changing your copy on the site to be as obvious as the description you wrote above (that it's about when you're having trouble picking between two designs). When I read through the site I

I had very high hopes for Silk Labs (founded by former Mozilla CTO Andreas Gal) to produce a device to compete with Google Home and Alexa in a privacy conscious way. Their claim to fame, I believe, was running all ML magic on device instead

I tend to focus on two types of value: entertainment stuff and actually-useful-for-my-job stuff. A lot of what I read here on HN is the former. I'll probably never write my own compiler, but for some reason I can't resist reading

IANAL but have worked a lot with GDPR. If the pricing is based on, for example, user browsing habits then that would constitute usage of personal data. At a minimum this would force the company to disclose that this kind of processing is go

Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t one of the strongest signals recaptcha uses to prove “I am not a robot” the fact that you’re currently logged into a google account, have the associated cookies, etc? This “phoning home” from all these site

I get your point, but checking in security keys is cause to rotate keys, not to rebase and force push.

In the days before hosted Kafka implementations were readily available, I tried to set up Kafka in our AWS infrastructure. Getting Zookeeper working in a world based on autoscaling groups was a nightmare. It felt like it was built for the d

Except GitHub seems to be handling it a lot more professionally. A clearer written policy and process for appeals - as opposed to Slack that did a behind the scenes change and borked a bunch of accounts.

I initially had the same reaction, but I don't think that's the author's intentions. He's saying don't use sleep() and cron to constantly poll if some asynchronous thing has completed, have a proper event fire at th

Really like the policy part of this as I’ve been bitten by sloppy Node modules (self inflicted and third party) in the past. However, as this is a JS server runtime and Node is the reigning champ, it would be great to get a section in the R
