I've been working on one fun solution to this: server-side rendering of web components - https://github.com/pimterry/server-components . The idea is much the same as server-rendering anything else: you give the com

One thing to look out for is remote-first companies, not just remote-ok companies. Zach Holman has a good post on this: https://zachholman.com/posts/remote-first/ If you're one of few people in the company wo

The most critical problem: Hacker News is closed source, right? By any definition that includes Facebook and Twitter, certainly. That'll be a tricky one to let go of. Personally, it's always drivers etc that I find it difficult to

It sounds like the app running dictates what keys are shown, so as long as your terminal or MacVim or whatever provides an escape key, you should be fine. Although what happens to apps that don't yet actively support the touch bar is a

It's an aside, but all the Apple pictures I've seen have had 'esc' or 'cancel' or something in exactly the same place in the top left anyway. Have I missed a detail, and there's genuine times where an esca

Server-side rendering generally has quite a few upsides: * Simplicity. You don't need a fancy bunch of tools to cross-compile things, or any big frameworks, because a bunch of problems (browser compatibility especially) disappear. No m

No idea how they've done this one, but https://asciinema.org/ does this for command line demos at least really nicely and easily.

This is one of the things where I think remote work can fall down: standing around a shared space to easily quickly scribble and share ideas. Video gets you close, and lots of tools have some kind of sharable space you can write on or draw

From what I've seen, Rails and Node tend to be the big contenders, with quite a few people starting to move things to Go now. That's just anecdotal though, hard to get much concrete numbers on this sort of thing. https:/&#x2

I think a lot of people are missing a key point here. This isn't about stopping a candidate you disagree with, or even about stopping a candidate that you think would be bad for the US. It's about making Y Combinator and the softw

For a big conference (as this seems to be), yes, definitely. Partly because conferences can sadly be quite risk averse, but also because presenting is a real skill, and assuming you're already great at it and jumping in at the deep end

I really like :target too, but if you have a page longer than your browser it always jumps you down to the tab you've just opened, a bit annoyingly. The rest of the built-in behaviour of :target is way nicer though, and the HTML &
