At least you know to whom you should bend a knee. I do wonder if there was a time you didn't need to.

I'm sure such scale requires heavy moderation. It pains me to realize the cost of enjoying the benefits of social media - if any, at all - that it makes me wonder whether we should have it in the first place at all. I can imagine a wor

Look, it does not matter to me whether this uses blockchain or not. Such discussion won't even be productive. Facebook has not been the best steward for its main feature the News Feed, leading to fake news, mass misinformation, not to

I find it highly applicable when you're approaching a new domain or skill you're not proficient or even familiar with, or when handling complex systems that you shouldn't mindlessly touch without forethought. You don't d

No, the kind of state of flow you're mentioning lacks the necessary consciousness for it to be deliberate practice. The emphasis on deliberate: you can either focus on executing over a period of time (flow) or focus on being mindful ab

I would guess that e.g. in writing, for example, you'd have to find a way to iterate quicker (attempt writing short articles as practice rather than longform), and set bounds on yourself that induce strain (limiting yourself to not edi

What form are you taking them?

A true power move. Not something everyone could do if they were threatened with the same, though.

I stopped for a moment to come back to this thread and say that this was extremely well-written. No words egregiously used or out of place, just the right conciseness and tone. Love it.

I'm not sure how the architecture of these browser projects work, but is it too difficult to stub out the non-existent APIs in their forks? I'm hoping it's different this time because this is a topic people care for... but I

I won't worry about that. I'm guessing this effectively creates a fork of Chromium that does not have the anti-ad blocker changes in question, which Opera/Brave/Edge will use instead of the main one. On that note, are pe

The thing is, the mindset that gets you wealth isn't necessarily the same mindset that makes you realize the true value of it which makes you secure. Non-exclusive sets, I say. There can be two types of people who get to the top.

I think I'm gonna switch now, too.

For some reason centralization is such a loaded term these days, and I wonder why. There are things that centralization deals with that decentralized, open solutions seem to neglect. For example, pushing GitHub to become an all-in-one platf

Microsoft really is growing GitHub. I can't say I'm not pleasantly surprised.

We can make a supply chain that runs through these double walls underground, passing ammunition and other stuff.

Wasn't there a recent deal between Microsoft and Nintendo as well?

I am willing to bet that someday, we will return to our roots: classic communities forming organically around topics without algorithms guiding us along. But until then, let us remain hopeful and vigilant.

Was gonna say the Harebrained Schemes' Shadowrun ports are pretty good (Dragonfall and Returns) but can't seem to find them on the Play Store now. Weird. There's also the XCOM: Enemy Within port for Android. I loved these.

Have been planning to get into XCOM2 for a while now. Really liked XCOM:EW even on a mobile device.

I feel as if Svelte came at the wrong time. These days, when most people know either React or Vue or some other thing, and computing devices are performing better over time, there's diminishing returns on performance optimization. Sure

I would guess this is partly because the modern front-end framework leaderboard is a zero-sum game: you can't possibly be sane to use two or more different frameworks for most of your day-to-day work. Maybe you have one for work and on

This is awfully dismissive without sound reasoning, I think. It doesn't take long for anyone working with the old ways outlined above (for example, me five years ago) to see why React was in many ways a step forward, defining what we s

Congratulations! Really cool of them and you. Is there a statement from Minecraft how much they'll be developing this?

If it was a PR move, is "we don't do evil walled garden anymore" more important than "Azure rocks and we do a lot of shit with it, look at this case study"?

Okay, you're clearly missing the point here. Sure, you can upload them videos and put them in a page somewhere, hosted by a web server somewhere. But why would you do that ? The cost of keeping your videos accessible are higher than k

It ranks well, but you rarely go on Medium's search bar or feed. I'd usually be here in HN, or Reddit, or some aggregator, where your self-hosted content can be found.

This. And even if you manage to somehow self-host your videos, YouTube is also a discovery service for these videos. Think about how many times you looked for a video on a certain topic in YouTube's search bar itself, the recommendatio

Off-topic: I've used js-xlsx before, and didn't have any problems with it. Thank you for your efforts.
