I have pretty devoutly hated celebrity my entire life, but in recent years I've come to realize that the real "job" of these kinds of "celebrity for celebrity's sake" types is pretty simple: 1. Be society'

Yeah, it's bananas. I started a new job last year at a place that has a large percentage of their codebase in Python after many years of working with OO and relatively "modern" PHP. Of course, taking PHP's reputation onl

Seriously! It's really frustrating that people tend to think accessibility features are just for people experiencing disability. The web, applications, and the whole world at large is made better for _all_ people when we build with a m

I appreciate the defense, but I don't mind being asked.

Fair enough. I am definitely pretty curmudgeonly :) That said, I tend to think social/cultural incentives are more than just social programs and government spending. Right now, I feel like I live in a culture that I don't have an

I think that's where the idea of ideological incentives come in. If I don't particularly feel the biological urge to have children (aka drive to spread my genes), I might feel differently if I had more faith that my country's

I've spent a lot of time thinking about that particular question, and the simple answer is that yes, my partner and I may find ourselves late in life wishing we had done otherwise. We also very easily could find ourselves wishing we ha

One half of a happily childless mid-30s DINK married couple here. We plan to stay that way. If the government wants me to have kids, they had better incentivize it. And when I say incentivize, I don't mean exclusively financial incenti

Very nice! I have been working on a triad and inversion practice tool in React and may seriously consider rewriting it to use your component. https://porkloin.github.io/triad-practice-mk2/ Any chance that the fingering

Most companies aren't exclusively comprised of developers. If you were to somehow manage to convince exec or director level leadership to implement something like IRC as your main communication platform, I'm sure they'll be m

I don't feel like they owe it to me at all – I'm just being honest about what I think is happening. I know that to some degree they probably even believe that the virus was the cause of the closure. This is my opinion, of course,

Totally valid point. I think they were simply surviving by merit of the fact that the market was good, and really any major speedbump would have caused the company to fail. It's an excuse in the sense that they're not addressing t

Just found yesterday out that I'm being laid off at the end of the month. Sadly, I wholeheartedly believe that the owners are using the coronavirus as an excuse to close their already-failing company. The company has been in slow-motio

That's fair, this is probably more brochure to generate buzz, etc. It' still a little ironic, though. I got a chuckle out of it anyway.

Considering that the market for this product is people with subpar internet connections, it might be worth considering building a website that doesn't require nice hardware and a fast, stable internet connection to accurately load the

As a developer who works with PHP a lot I get pretty tired of the "lolphp" mentality, but this was a legitimately grade-a PHP burn. Well done!

Classic HN comment. It's got it all: dismissive, terse, oddly confrontational. Bravo!

Amethyst has stabilized a ton in the last few years, I'd definitely considering giving it another shot if it's been a bit.

It really is pretty shocking that at this point Apple hasn't invested the time in a window snapping situation. Their other window management utilities (mission control, hot corners, etc.) are all very nice, but all incredibly pointer&#

Yeah, same here. As someone who used AwesomeWM for a while, the limitation of binary split for both bspwm and chunkwm always felt a little restrictive.

As a tiling WM user coming from Linux, ChunkWM and Amethyst are both incredible projects that allowed me to replicate my familiar and comfortable tiling setup once I had a work-issued laptop running macOS. For those who haven't used Ch

While I do think Composer is an awesome improvement for the PHP ecosystem in general, I still find it insane that you cannot run `composer update` on a machine that has less than 1.5G memory allocated to PHP. It is an absolute resource hog,

It seems like calling this "Popcorn Time" for music isn't necessarily a great comparison. PT allowed streaming playback of torrented movies and was very clearly piracy and illegal. Meanwhile, this seems like an aggregator for

Very cool to see more action in the ActivityPub space – one of the nice aspects of the federated model is that more users of the protocol have a function of accumulative user bases, not directly competing with one another. So in the future

This seems like a convenient time to remind folks that it is incredibly important to stand up against this kind of government action not only when it is conducted against your political allies, but especially when it is conducted against yo
