You either die a hero, or live long enough to become a villain. They made a small mistake and HN is taking this opportunity to villanize people making a real product and usually thoughtful decisions to support it. Slippery slope my ass.

This thread needs to lighten up. It's one goofily named add-on pushed to a miniscule number of users in an opt in program. Firefox and their judgement are fine.

Was on a plane ride this weekend and was thinking how I needed to re-install Dash so I could have an offline docs viewer. Personally like the web format much better, thanks!

Leveraging accurate clocks doesn't let Google ignore partitions. "TrueTime itself could be hindered by a partition"[0]. Spanner also uses two-phase commits and locking, which are unavailable under certain kinds of network pa

In "The Future of Data Systems", the author imagines a system where the application writes events to a Kafka-like distributed log. Consumers of the log do work like de-duping, committing the data to a RDBMS, invalidating caches, u

Came here to say the same thing. If you want to develop an intuition about when and why to use different data technologies this is the book for you. Each chapter is relatively self contained, so you don't have to read the whole thing

Articulating social media restraint as a health practice is a powerful idea. Family legend has it that my grandmother threw out her cigarettes and quit smoking the day she heard the Surgeon General's smoking warning on the radio in 196

That sentence also struck a chord with me. The dictionary definition of community: > n. A group of people having common interests: the scientific community; the international business community. The "Clojure community" is a gro

I felt guilty choosing Chrome over Firefox, but it was just so much damn faster. Writing from Nightly now, glad that I don't have to sacrifice performance to switch over.

I've manually tried to hack together a few favicons. This seems like a way better solution if, like me, you don't have much design skill.

Neat, but still some kinks. I'm not seeing Angular for https://fonts.google.com/ , but can quickly find the tell-tale ng- attributes in the HTML. BuiltWith has been around for a while and has it's own chrome ext

The conciliatory tone is refreshing - as a community it doesn't have to be a "Vue vs. React" death match. Both are reasonable approaches that incorporate some pretty dope technology in slightly different ways.

I think it's going to get there. The sheer number of JavaScript developers means there's always someone out there who wants to try something new, and haven't invested in learning React yet. Doesn't hurt that contributi

↓ To say it's "complex" seems to justify the kind of raw bigotry you see in KKK/neo-nazis/"alt-right". People on the conservative side might say: • "I'm sick of SJW libtards telling me what to d

> The key difference you have to remember is that the rendering result isn't a DOM, but a string, which Ink writes to the output. Seems like a pretty easy switch. The best part about React is being able to declare what your UI will

My understanding (noob here) is that it allows producers to retry without fear of duplication. You still have to consider the system feeding the producer though. In Segment's example, clients might deliver their messages more than onc

It took me a second, but I can see why this would be handy. Whether you just use it in a with , or create a view from it, you have a single definition of the query that anyone can use. And you can test the INCLUDE d query. Neat.

Agreed. The ORM vs raw SQL debate is endless, but I prefer using some kind of ORM-y thing when I need to interact with a relational database from a program. There are still cases where you might build a collection of raw queries (think bus
