I started using fastmail about 6 months ago and have really enjoyed it so far. My only concern is whether they’ll be around long term (10-20+ years) because it’s quickly become my default email for important stuff.

I personally don’t think Python type hints are particularly useful for solo projects, but are very useful for communicating the intent of my code to others.

Unfortunately, despite consistently hearing about how enjoyable Clojure is, I think many people are turned off by the JVM. This is probably also the problem with Scala, which is apparently also enjoyable to use.

This is the part that makes me absolutely furious. This is the most innocent rant a teenage girl could possibly post.

I don’t know what kind of secret sauce they’ve got that attracted investors, but I’m really skeptical based on what I’ve seen so far.

Yes that’s exactly how I feel.

How so? Genuinely curious. I figured it was just a conference call or audio stream?

As someone in their mid 20’s with a tech job, it blows my mind that 60% of people own a home. I can’t imagine having enough money to own a home in a major city.

I had read on a previous HN thread that Mozilla intends to remove compact density completely. It’s not functionally unusable, but boy is it irritating to have most of your screen taken up by OS border, window header, Firefox toolbars, the

While I agree in theory that AP/IB exams could be used instead of SAT/ACT, they are unfortunately not available at all schools. Students nowadays are already occasionally forced to travel to different schools in their area in orde

The 60h/week figure is what I observed ~8 years ago for my peers to be competitive for our state university that was not MIT or an Ivy. My point is that I think students are being overworked because the requirements are too subjective.

“When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.” If your suggested measures were considered, they would quickly become targets & add to the already insane workload that high school students must put up with in order

Most people have already mentioned that this change could result in discrimination, but I think it's also extremely important to note that these high school students are extremely overworked. If a student is a top-tier applicant that

Hate this idea, personally. Everyone thinks they’ve got a million dollar idea.

While the literature does seem to support the theory that SAT is a good measure of intelligence, I still find myself jumping to the defense of candidates who may have scored poorly on the SAT. I feel it’s unfair to judge someone’s qualifica

You'd like to know the score your 22-24 year old candidate received on the SAT that he took when he was 17-19? How is that relevant?

I previously bought a Thelio desktop from System76 and it was great. I ended up upgrading and basically took all the parts from it except motherboard and cpu. I still use PopOS as my daily driver and have no reason to ever switch to anythin

I had genuinely forgotten there were alternative options to compact. I understand the point of larger options for preference and accessibility, but I feel for the majority of people that compact is likely the best viewing experience in term

I really like Zola and have been using it for my personal site for a few months now. I tried to use Hugo, which admittedly seems more capable, but found it to be too complicated for my use case. I was up and running with Zola, including my

Related to this, has anyone compared the performance of flutter desktop apps to electron apps? I’m not experienced in flutter/dart, but would love to see an accessible & performant alternative to electron on the desktop.

In some ways I feel like this is coming in the not-so distant future. You can already auto update releases every commit, get paid via sponsor, and receive “reviews” (issues). It’s inching steadily towards an App Store already. They seem to
