This looks pretty good, and I like that it's fairly lightweight compares to some other options. My suggestions are mostly along the same lines (and having not seen the source code) - use a plug-in architecture for some things. MySQL is

If I'm alone, I read, sometimes with music or TV on in the background. If my wife is home at the same time and we eat together, we chat and be all lovey-dovey and maybe hold hands.

I repeat - are there any laptops that actually work this way? I have a pro and an air and as far as I know if the screen is open, it's turned on regardless of whether I have external monitors hooked up or not. The original commenter wa

Are there any laptops that work this way? Why would anyone even want the lid open if they're not using the screen? A stand-alone keyboard is a lot more convenient and you can get one you like instead of the partial one most laptops hav

Well there's your answer. The app developers have decided - rightly or wrongly - that environments of a certain age (or more likely Android version) do not meet their security requirements. My bank app supports Android 9+ which is near

Prime Video has quite a lot of these kinds of movies too, but now that there are ads, you might as well go with Tubi :)

I get Pixel phones and keep them until the battery goes. I've owned the original, the 5, and now the 7. None of the in-betweens because I didn't need to upgrade (the battery in the 5 went a bit earlier than expected, but I still g

It's called user-antagonistic design, and while it is sometimes inadvertent (like menu links that have a large hover effect but only the text in the middle is clickable), it is often intentional - especially on sites that measure eyeba

Well, sticking with it until you find something new is a positive since it shows you're willing to put in the work, BUT do not do so at the expense of your health. It's okay to quit early if you can afford to and can't afford

I wouldn't trust a company charging that much that couldn't run a spell-checker on their own website copy. It shows an alarming lack of attention to details which are generally very important to start-ups.

It's worse when the requirements are impossible. I was told recently that one reason I wasn't shortlisted was because I didn't have 10+ years of experience with Angular 12+. For those who don't realize, Angular 12 was re

What's the story on this? I have at least one site that sounds like it might be in danger if that's true.

I believe that the patent for a coil-spring mattress is actually from the late 1800s, not the late 1900s as the article says :)

I've been looking for a job recently, and almost every applicant tracking system I've been shoved through requires an account. The ones that use "vanity" domains (like `companyname.superats.com`) require a unique account

For a long time as a youth this was one of my favourite and go-to sites for so many things.

As bmicraft said, I was calling out the use of the phrase "actual HNer" as being exclusionary, elitist, and toxic (harsh? Yes, intentionally so). Explaining the bar or posting a link to a relevant story or even just saying that it

Not just turbo, but 3.5 is trubo :) Looks like you have a typo or two in your price blocks.

If you go for React, remember you're learning a UI library and not a framework. You'll need to learn a number of different libraries in order to use React in a framework, and with a multitude of choices for each portion of the fra

I may have missed it, but what is the difference between `@scope (.card) { img {} }` and `.card img {}`? From an implementation perspective, I can see that scope might be calculated beforehand, so only that tree is searched for `img` elemen

Had it as my daily driver for the past few years because I used Chrome for work, and the multi-user Chrome functionality didn't work the way I wanted it to. Newer versions of Chrome do a better job for me, so I recently switched to Chr

I'm not against a return to the old style of HyperMedia :) But I think AsciiDoc would be a better human-readable/writeable choice than MarkDown.

This is a huge problem in the tech world I think. I think of myself as $30/hour against purchases and subscriptions - each hour something saves me is worth $30. This boilerkit is worth $39 to me because it would definitely take me long

Angular v17+ can use Signals instead of RxJS in a lot of cases, reducing the need to learn RxJS in great detail. State management will probably rely on behaviours for another version or two, but expect that to change as well :)

Agreed, Firebase auth is pretty easy and well documented in my experience. Allows quick setup of phone, email/password, and oauth/sso (Facebook, Microsoft, etc.) based flows.
