While point #1 is of course valid, it is most useful for new code, or code with significant resources behind it to optimise it for lambda. For people with an established codebase, not wanting to go all in on lambda/serverless, or wanti

The only point I can sympathize with a little bit is the default admin UI looks, which could be a little more modern. In any case, I don't know of any one other framework with a remotely comparable admin interface in terms of capabilit

I'd bet more on them using their internal stack/expertise from building workers.

I might be wrong but these shavers are generally "water proof", to be used in the shower and whatnot. Turning off when charging sounds like a way to prevent someone to follow through with the shockingly brilliant idea of doing tha

So, layman's question about black holes, almost 100% sci-fi derived. Starting from the time mechanics shown in, e.g., Interstellar. If when you're near a massive black hole time passes differently (more time passes away form the h

Going on a tangent but upon reading about vestibular reflexes I recalled something I used to do as a kid: When in bed, ready to sleep, I could condition myself to believe the bed was tipping over to the side, up to the point where I would h

Obligatory reference to http://www.paulgraham.com/say.html Tough problem to solve. I wish we could just accept the fact that people can have opinions different from our own. This is not just normal, but good! It feels like

I would love to see the photos from 70s Japan. The ones you feel comfortable sharing with strangers, of course!

Making it hard for the regular joe to pirate apps is a big part of apple's allure me as a developer. Your app/game won't be 24h on the play store without the apk popping up on some random site, ready to be downloaded. I don&#

Thank you for answering. In retrospect my comment looks a bit dry in comparison with the monumental achievement so: Congrats on launching! It's awesome to see Cap'n Proto and sandstorm's legacy living on :)

I cannot find any word on pricing, is it included in the regular workers $5/mo plan?

This is just a guess, but JS only works in the context of a website, and it might actually be simpler to control the server side muxer without having a whole bunch of logic and the systems to support it.

I know this is tangential, but as lay person regarding physics I am stuck on the following thought experiment regarding gravity: We know about gravitational potential energy. We harness it all the time with dams and whatnot. Generally speak

Even without parameterisation, it might be interesting as a "make my guitar sound like Jimmy Page" kind of tool. Like you said, it will most likely have limitations, but it's still one more tool in the belt, regardless.

I like this one, and I read a good follow up for that one on HN recently: Never attribute to stupidity what can be adequately explained by opportunity costs. (Hope I'm not butchering the quote)

Even for 2D games, if you have a dedicated art team, or a level designer team separate from a programming team, having an engine interface that allows each of these participants to do their own stuff without having to edit code is a massive

Really interesting! The small studios (or one-man armies) are the ones using custom stuff because they have to do it all anyways, no biggie having to do a little leg work to import stuff. When you're a bigger studio, having to coordina

I don't understand this argument. I understand that PGP might not be the way to go. I understand that metadata might leak. I understand that every cypher will be broken, eventually. But what's wrong with trying to send a an e-mail

Most of the time, most of us don't want to hurt others, or the consequences of doing so are harsh enough to deter you. I like to believe that means that there are more of the former, and less of the latter.

I knew about the audit route, and I should add that at least for this method, the fact that you accessed the e-mails is permanently saved in the audit records. While this means that yes, "the company" can read your e-mails, it als

I don't know about code quality, and I'm not ruling out privacy or security issues, but zoom must be doing something very right -- their rise to popularity regardless of there being plenty of free (!) alternatives has to come from

Also, reachability suffered a big blow in usability when they got rid of the home button - swiping down on the bottom of the screen is very awkward and prone to clicking something unintentionally.

I'd just like to point out that the title is a bit misleading -- They are deprecating extensions that use parts of the kernel API that have alternatives, as these become available. How well that will work in practice remains to be seen

I use this as a way to easily drown out other thoughts by focusing on the "mind radio". I should add that I find myself with a song stuck in my head all the time as well.

I am not affiliated with them, but if you fancy making games in any form, it's a very nice opportunity to collaborate with fellow local creatives and create something cool!

I think code quality is important, and big studios make a buck on having clean and workable code they keep improving over time. That being said, and especially on indie games like VVVVVV, hammering in a cool little detail gives the final pr

Depends on the person :) Joking aside, I agree with you. My point was simply that we're very ignorant about the brain and its workings, one way or another.
