I wonder how this compares to wasm-git[1], which is libgit2 compiled to wasm for use in both the browser and node. At face value it seems isomorphic-git has been around for longer, and wasm-git seems hot off the press, but the latter seems

As a counterpoint I have done exactly this and am perfectly happy with my IKEA mattresses; your mileage may vary I guess.

Aside from HN I have no social media accounts, so a picture or two to illustrate what an "Instagram Face" is wouldn't hurt. I also don't care enough to actually look it up, so I suppose there's that too.

Do you have a source for this? All I see in the article is conjecture. (Edit: I am not nor have I ever been an N26 customer, just curious.)

Wonderful! :o) Reminds me of the joke about there only being 10 kinds of people in this world, those who understand binary and everyone else. Yours is even more esoteric – well done!

Hey! Cool project, thanks for sharing it with the world! If I may offer a suggestion, you should perhaps expand on the rationale in the readme to include some of what you say in this comment. I personally find this to be a very interesting

I'm not the author and I've never used this library, but I think your comment is unnecessarily dismissive anyway. You're not necessarily wrong, but I feel there's ample room in the space between wanting to hack something

Same in Europe, it's happened to me multiple times. It really riles people up for some reason, with people just flat out ignoring crew orders to remain seated etc.

You forgot to say if you made the tour on time! What a cliff hanger! Thankfully I saw the answer in another comment, glad you made it. :o) I went on a road trip last summer, and as a foreigner was thoroughly confused when driving across Ala

Not sure what you mean by subtract. If you mean save away to pay yourself because as a contractor you don’t get paid time off – sure, you have to plan and be fiscally responsible. My personal experience being a contractor vs. employee thoug

I have tried it actually, but thanks for the tip anyway! :o) I'm curious about this surge in popularity though. Where I am (Sweden) most people seem to know about backgammon, but not many know how to play so can't say I recognize

You may already be aware of this, in which case I apologize for stating the obvious, but Mr. Bostock actually authored the comment you replied to. :o)

I love playing Backgammon, I find it to be an almost perfect blend of skill and luck, while also being much more accessible than something like chess. It's easy enough to learn on the fly, and after only a few games you start recognizi

The trick is to set up a remote contracting gig, and live overseas! That'll last you till dec 31st at least. :o)

Yeah this seems like a common bait and switch tactic amongst recruiters these days, I've received the same kind of emails as you.

I'd say it depends on what industry you're in as well. In finance for example you can quite easily land a >£100k salary, especially if contracting, even if you're not with one of the top tier institutions. (Though I suppos

I'm a Software Engineer who has both lived and worked in London (primarily the city) for several years and I have to say you really hit a home run with this comment, mirrors my experience precisely. Well put!

Not to mention the sheer amount of people you have to convince if you want to have any meaningful impact. And not just to cheat, but also keep quiet about it lest you get caught. What's that old Ben Franklin quote, three people can kee

I honestly can't tell if you're being facetious; comparing Workplace to e-mail seems disingenuous, but I'll bite. E-mail, being a decentralized protocol, gives me – the consumer – control of how I shape the incoming feed of d

You'd have to also change all clients to not execute JavaScript in text/html, if you want application/html to have any bite. Another option, perhaps more likely to have an effect, is to have clients with no JavaScript enabled

This has been discussed on HN several times before, and as far as I can tell most of the claims have been too good to be true. For a bit more nuanced review, Christine Dodrill has written posts on the topic, with this being the latest: htt

Oh, I didn't know that. Still, since everyone seems to add everyone to all of the things in our workplace then, the effect is the same – just a bunch of noise and an endless turning off of notifications. I just logged in and again had

We use workplace too and this mirrors my experience precisely, especially the bit about notifications. It seems you can't control it either, you can turn off individual workspaces or whatever they call them, but new ones are added by d
