I’ve always wondered what the difference between “orient” and “orientate” is... apparently there’s no difference, it’s just a UK vs US thing

All signs of excellent design, I would say.

For certain things this is a good idea, but at some point you step into “mall ninja” territory.

I was hoping for that information as well... would love examples of the tools referenced in the article, and whether they seem to work or not!

Glad to see someone mentioning Wave! I have had a Wave playlist created for a while now without knowing it was even a genre. Then, I googled one of the songs and found out that Øfdream died, and discovered the references to the genre name d

I guess it depends on what time period you’re talking about. There’s a million books on TDD and there have been for decades now. They’re commonly recommended on HN and easily found via google.

Yeah, I used to buy TVs and use them as bigger, cheaper monitors. Now it seems like I need to do the opposite... too bad it probably costs a hefty chunk of change to get a giant monitor!

But when it works... man, is it great!

Because you get a $10,000 electricity bill?

I did switch to them for a month, 2 summers ago. My typical summer bills would be around $100-$150. After a $350 monthly bill from Griddy, I immediately bailed. Glad I did...

Very true. I also (still) think the frequency of these events is not going to be constant, but increasing.

> Bottom line: there isn’t an easy solution to weather events that happen once in a hundred years [...] I think it’s extremely misguided to characterize this storm in this way. We will probably be in for more of these types of events soo

While this is true, it’s probably MUCH easier to just exploit existing packages in some fashion.

> America has an insane bribery problem. I wonder if this is more or less applicable to Politics in general, and not specifically American Politics.

> That implies that the time for the "new users" to become half of the user base is around 30 years That doesn’t add up at all... you’re implying that users are gained and lost at exactly the same rate, consistently, over a spa

Yeah, I don’t see how it being fraud leads to the conclusion that it’s not happening.

Lengua is great - you just have to get it from a place that sells enough of it so that it isn’t old or bad.

I like the idea of using the discard mechanism, but if it’s from the same developer, wouldn’t it be at risk of having the same thing happen?

So this is some kind of blockchain thing? The article just kind of dives in and I’m lacking context, but it seems interesting. Can anyone give a brief overview?

Ok, but what about de-sync? > the receiving node just rewinds to frame N, and recomputes it (and all frames after it) What about situation where frame N is a “long” time ago (for some definition of “long”)? There must be some sort of thr

On the contrary, I find myself wishing for the transparency and simplicity of Selenium bindings when I work with other (newer) tools... especially tools that hijack control flow and promises. Protractor, Cypress, etc. Thanks for all of your
