   I watched the google stadia announcement video and I was amazed by what they accomplished, but your comment cuts through all of that and points to a future where google sets the artistic priorities via financial incentive... the way they cu

   If I may abuse this metaphor a little further, I'd like to point out that running Linux also pays dividends by teaching you, well, Linux. It is the platform that most code ends up running on, after all. You'll know it is worthwhil

   As far as I know, there's no official way of using Devise over a REST API. It is designed with a server-side Rails app in mind. There's devise_token_auth and related client libraries, but I wish there was an official way for handl

   This made me realize that it might be a fun idea to get a projector and point it at my ceiling, could use this to explore the stars with Stellarium.

   I agree that the website is the thing that is broken. Their code looked like this: reportToTracker('userActionSubmit'); submitForm(); The first line threw an exception. They should have surrounded that line with a try&#x2

   A few minutes ago, my ad blocker broke the login form of my cellphone provider. A non-technical user would probably not think to turn off the ad-blocker, and would assume that the website is broken. Not being able to log into your phone pro

   I've got all my consoles set up to only open in workspace #1, my text editors open in workspace #2, my work browser in workspace #3, and my distractions browser & slack open in workspace #9. All of these things are a keystroke away

   Thanks, this is helpful and why I came to the comments. Another question I had was what happens to red? You helped me answer that -- unlike echo green, the output of echo red is still connected to the pipe. The right-hand side of that pipe

    Thanks for the time and effort you've put into this thread, it has been very interesting reading your comments, which have a lot of content and a lot of experience behind them. I wanted to ask you about this because I've been read

    If making global state accessible is all you need Redux for, then I don't see why that state shouldn't be: 1) persisted to a back-end and re-fetched on route 2) Persisted to localStorage If there some kind of state that doesn&#x2

    Again, I'm glad you reminded me about this book. About to introduce it to some friends through our book club. I'll be re-reading it soon, so maybe I'll put on that movement while I read the end :)

    Great points all around. One question though — how many apps actually need to share state across pages? Seems like mobile apps have this problem more than desktop apps, because their screens are small and so the UI must be split into pages.

    Just want to chime in that Stoner is indeed a gorgeous work, and thank you for reminding me of it.

    Do you have a swap partition? If you don't have a swap partition enabled, then your computer will freeze when your RAM fills up. I have the XPS 16" and this happens to me under Arch Linux, but thankfully not very often because I h

    It is wild speculation to assert that these events are connected, without any supporting evidence. Let's please keep this kind of thing to a minimum. This should not be considered good content for this forum.

    I suppose the flame graph feature developer could then write on their resume: “reduced bandwidth costs by $X millions per year by implementing a ‘content of interest’ data visualization. Users’ time-to-success improved 5%” That kind of thin

    This strikes a nice balance between open source GPL and commercial licensing and services, and I like how this makes it easy to distribute your application. I keep reading comments here on HN about how nice QT is to work with, and this seem

    I wonder if these things go in both directions though. Google becomes beholden to the Chinese government on threat of being kicked out of the country. Maybe in a few years Google is making a bunch of money in China, and then the govt asks t

    It's a flat rate to get to any transit station in the city, no matter how far away. In NYC, the neighborhoods at the edge of the transportation network have historically been less wealthy, so this is a nice pro-economic mobility thing,

    I love this so much. It could be fun to write a Gnutella/eDonkey network over RTCTunnel. Maybe even have the user plug in their dropbox or google drive and start sharing like it's 2003 again.

    If it's not too off topic, what is it about the watch that you like so much? I've still got my iPhone 6 and was nodding my head in agreement until you got to the watch part, so just curious, what makes it a compelling product for

    While this may work, as far as I know, BBB is a private company with no enforcement muscle, providing a service similar to Yelp, but less respected.

    I'll have to check those out, thank you. Gotta admit I've only personally tried qc20 and qc25, but most reviews of new NC headphones that I've read on The Verge still hold Bose as the standard-bearer of high quality NC. Every
