There's a lot to like here - deterministic builds are great. However, yarn doesn't currently seem to support installing straight from github or private packages [0], [1]. I'm sure this will be added in the future, but it is c

I would love to see this suit succeed at least a little bit. While I understand the battery ramifications (and I'm sure other stability / security issues too) behind Apple's closed-off ecosystem, it is hugely frustrating to

That is exactly what I was thinking. Oracle can do pretty decent stuff with tech as far as I have seen, but their actual direction and choices seems to embody the crassly-disgusting money squeeze corporation so much that I really don't

Yup. I have had two brother printers so far. The first was about 8 years old when the paper feed became unreliable, so I replaced it with a newer (color) model. Prints great, takes whatever cartridges fit, works fine with Linux, windows and

I've ended up manually handling @mentions on my own by writing a quill plugin (unfortunately the plugin is closed-source for now), but basically it amounts to: Create a new parchment format to represent the atmention data, and how it s

As a long-time user of Quill, I must say: Congratulations to jhchen and everyone else who worked on the project. I use Quilljs because it's a great implementation of a modern-thinking WYSIWYG text editor. The underlying parchment[0] li

Email RFC is weird. Did you know email addresses are supposed to be case sensitive? Like bob@ and Bob@ are two different addresses? Some services treat them this way, most don't. That intersection (oauth2 for example from Google can re

A century on, the National Education Association is getting their wish: we're spelling it as 'tho' instead of 'though'. Linguistic engineering is fascinating.

If you liked this essay (which I did), you are probably going to be interested in Audrey Watters's Hack Education blog. [0] In particular there is a big difference between the kinds of Papert-inspired computatiinal environments that pr

I completely agree with you. While I think it would be pandering to universalism to say that "anyone who bemoans 'political correctness' is a dolt", I could instead perhaps say: "I have yet to encounter anyone who b

Soooooooo, I'm going to say "bs" on this claim. Sure, I get that the relationship between poll and reality is murky, but if Trump takes California as the "app maker" suggests, I will literally eat my hat. Smells of

Yeah, this is terrible. I ended up picking random answers and storing them in LastPass on the note for my account. The whole experience is hostile to users, and probably pretty euro / western - centric. I don't know how they local

Personally, I've found that it takes about five minutes for my hands to adjust when I switch between ergodox and laptop. (Basically working at home vs in a cafe). I'm a relatively speedy typist in either mode, but it does take adj

Well, we ended up using quill.js in our own system (it's rad, and pretty easy to wire into an operational transform system to handle concurrent edits). But at least at the time we were looking, discourse was markdown only. We had a lot

While there's reasons for wildcard support, I find the support for SAN and just many certs to be just fine in a lot of ways. I've purchased wildcard domains in the past mostly because it was more cost-effective than buying the ind

I believe NPM also caches your file locally. So the second install of babel would 304 from GitHub and get pulled from your local cache, saving time and bandwidth.

Yeah, it's too bad it never really took off. I may be misrepresenting Boxer here (as I was never part of the project, but was a grad student and later lecturer at the UC Berkeley School of Education), but my impression was that it was

While I'm a bit bummed about the general commercialization of some elements of Scratch, I think it's fair to say that there is an encouraging amount of work being done in parallel with Scratch that keeps us from living in a monocu

True enough - something like "because it's there" is certainly a pretty good reason to climb a (metaphorical) mountain.
