   What's wrong with gimmicks? Voice control itself is not a bad idea, the interface to control your technology is something you are born with :)

   It didn't really work for me, tried it twice and quit both times. I really dislike that I had to be a one man show besides what I enjoy doing: - sales - networking - sales - accounting - become your own project manager - handle client

   I would make the search input more obvious. My focus is dragged first to the "query, entries, per page" buttons because of the gray background.

   A lucky HN or PH campaign might help for a while, but the traffic spike will calm down soon. I'll pay for them on the long run. For me, the CPC cost will make it worth. There are also other ideas, like launching an affiliate program, a

   Agree, I call them and think of them as Lambda servers.

    You are missing the point. This is a long run game, since we can easily transition from fossil fuels to alternate energy source without having to replace fundamentally how EV engines work. All they need is electrons, not exploding fossil fu

    It does not. With Parcel for example it works out of the box and it even installs the dependencies automatically for you. I still love SASS since it solves many existing problems at once like you mentioned.

    Are the fundamentals really janky? Prototypical inheritance is actually not a bad choice. The event loop also stood the stand the test of time, it's a great choice for IO heavy environments like the web is. The weak type system made it

    The wat talk is really funny, but it proves only that if you do moronic things, you will get nonsense results. Truly shocking. > cobbled together in a few weeks by some poor fellow It was. And then all work has stopped on it, right?

    My only complaint with ThinkPads is that they are ugly as hell and I'm not an Apple fanboy. A device should look beautiful, clean and simple that you are looking at all day.

    This is pretty neat, cool name, it goes to my loved bookmarks :) One thing though I don't get is the 0 border width setting. Is that useful somehow?

    I never noticed nor this nor the edit issue after using Asana for years now. It's probably not a CPU issue, I have i5, but it's baffling how different experiences can be for webapps.

    Really? It was not the intention. I just found it odd to be on the top of HN, so I assumed it to have a deeper meaning which I still find funny.

    Is there a hidden analogy to programming that I missed? :)

    A checklist of cases that I might not thought of. I would group example code around different use case and not around API endpoints. For example Braintree is good in that sense: https://developers.braintreepayments.com/guide

    As a solo developer on a project which needs flexible payment options (also t-shirts) that's why I need to pick a payment solution that supports paypal besides other methods. Paddle looks like the service I need on the long run: https

    I've seen way too many "just copy these 5 lines" and you are good to go. With payments this is never that simple.

    This sucks, I know how bad if feels when you rely on a major vendor that can make or break your product. I was somewhat relieved that it happened when I already abandoned the project for a better one but had I invested more time into it I w
