The line between "configuration" and "modding" is pretty thin. One could say that the difference is whether the developers intended the changes you're making to be possible or not, but what about programs with dedic

I interpreted the buttons to mean "this is bluer than it is green" and "this is greener than it is blue".

I don't know how often this happens, but what about repositories that would "naturally" have <10 stars if not for buying them? Is the signal you're referring to still useful if it can be artificially silenced by spend

While this is a common quip that I find pretty funny, it's not really true. What actually happened was that while updating their code of conduct[0], Google changed it to only say "don't be evil" in one place instead of m

I'm not a frequent Kotlin user but none of that surprises me. My comment was asking about nobleach's imaginary "perfect programming language", which is clearly not Kotlin.

One thing I like about TypeScript is that there's tooling for "quickly strip out the types and give me something I can run; I don't care if it's correct". You can run the (slower) type checker concurrently with that

I posted another comment[0] about this, but if you already have the images locally then you can push them directly to the target server without needing a separate registry. [0]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47750927

by matt_kantor 6mo ago
Depending on your use case, you may not require a hosted registry at all. You could instead push images to your servers from wherever they're built. I use a little script[0] to automate that when deploying some personal projects, but r

There are some suffixed with "-i" which sound natural to my (American) ears too: "an Israeli", "a Somali", "a Pakistani", "an Omani", etc.

I agree with that. Two things: 1. People using the word "advertisement" when commenting on this situation aren't necessarily saying that's what's happening, and they may find these tips/ads distasteful anyway (

I get that, and it's a nice thing to warn users about. My nitpick was merely about the specific "do not strictly follow semantic versioning" phrasing. There's nothing you can do in a 0.y.z release which doesn't foll

by matt_kantor 7mo ago
How is it used in the wild, in your experience? Have you observed projects following some alternate set of rules? I thought projects that stay on 0.x.y forever mostly do it because it means they're allowed to break things. Also, sinc

I understand, but that's already implied by a 0.y.z version number.

It doesn't need one, but I am asking if there is one. Or if there isn't, what else they are basing it on (the answer could be anything from personal anecdotes to actual data; that's what I'd like to know).

Given how YouTube makes money from advertising, I suspect it's more profitable for them to keep the data to themselves and use it for targeting. I would not be surprised if they also share it with Adsense & other Alphabet entities

It's possible to handle resizes without all this machinery, most simply by clearing the screen and redrawing everything when a resize occurs. Some TUI libraries will automatically do this for you. Programs like top, emacs, tmux, etc ar
