I'm interested in the moral hazard this creates if this practice becomes widespread. If your servers are "too big to fail", and the FBI/NSA can reliably zero-day into your servers to patch zero-day bugs, that seems like

I dislike both of these :). Just leave the styling layer to itself.

Blurring the line between attributes/react props and CSS classes seems abhorrent to me, but just my two cents

You should consider trying Urbit. There's a large community of people who have had this desire for decades, and most of the good ones are settling there. https://urbit.org

Has anyone built anything with this yet?

I don't have much to add, although it's kind of funny that every Urbit-related discussion on Hacker News revolves entirely around some quirky social object from 5 years ago, a general statement of bewilderment, or some rehashed ju

The bikeshedding is incredibly infuriating. Probably the main problem with adoption of decentralized services is the overwhelming entitlement users feel to have everything delivered to them by megacorps. Stop doing this!!! Stop being a whin

I gotta say; I haven't paid attention to Matrix for years, but I downloaded the Riot client again last week and HOLY COW. Everything is so smooth, beautiful, performant, and feature-filled. They have Slack/Discord-like communiti

Ah, nostalgia :). It seems like with the recent wave of news about social media migrations (reddit, facebook, twitter, twitch, tiktok), people are hopefully starting to get more and more warmed up to the idea of protocolization of their soc

This is very good. I would recommend this to anybody considering a career in software. My only problem is that it's not very pedagogical; I don't think "read and study the foundations for 1000 hours, you twerp" is really

Hey man, I just started using sucrase in production at work. Great work with it; just the right features to let me kill Babel, simplify build docs, and still get use some modern niceties (I use it alongside gulp/rollup)

The tradeoff between flexibility and reliability in the interface engineering world is very poorly understood. There's several dozen layers of reliability abstractions you can add to your Javascript code. Each one individually is proba

Oh yeah. I think Gargron accomplished a lot when he launched the initial version. Just wondering what this list is supposed to communicate. I'd hope for more active development on the critical issues.

There's just a ton of better projects out there solving this problem with a much higher focus on architectural clarity, running code, competing seriously with major platforms, etc. https://decentralizedweb.net/

As a keto practitioner, the obvious recommendation I'd add for further research is to distinguish between "low-carb" and "<20 grams of carb per day". For achieving ketosis, "low carb" is a completely or

These all look totally fine to me? The top items have 1000s of reviews at 4.5+ rating. For a general query of "wireless headphones" without any other specifics this seems like a pretty damned good result page. If you're speci

A fundamental distinction needs to be made between blockchain-based and non-blockchain-based decentralized services. Blockchains are insanely ambitious, century-scale, state-killing, finance-replacing behemoths. WE DON'T NEED ANY OF TH
