I was just running into this dichotomy this morning. To test my app Autumn on High Sierra, I had to install it in a VM, so I tried VirtualBox (open source) and Parallels Desktop Lite (in-app purchases). Not only did Parallels have a smoothe

Hi, maker of Autumn here, would be glad to answer any questions or hear your feedback on Autumn! I just got it working this morning on High Sierra and it was interesting some of the things that made it not work there in the first place. One

Your scenario sounds not only plausible but highly likely. Especially the point about individuals or other principle-driven organizations being relatively unable to reproduce the closed-source advantages that they could tie into open source

TypeScript has other features such as Enums that don't exist in JavaScript but aren't pure type annotations either. It transforms into very clever bidirectional map tables.

Along those lines, I think a heavily commented version of fff would be a great learning tool. The concepts of fff are simple enough that anyone could follow along easily without really having to learn fff first. This idea came partly from t

This is how Bezos built AWS, so he meant services that are needed to build websites, such as databases, servers, containers, queues, caches, storage...

This is very cool, thanks for resubmitting it, I actually checked out the source code this time, as opposed to last time only reading the readme. Having learned all that you needed to in order to write (and rewrite) this, do you have any si

If it's as cheap and powerful as AWS then I'm on board too. But I doubt it is, Amazon's got it down to an intricate science that seems like it can't be beat.

I'm starting to think Microsoft's strategy with things like VS Code, Monaco editor, and Typescript is "blow the developer away with how amazingly productive they are so that they will want to use more of our products". B

If the return type was Array<Leaf | Aggregator>, wouldn't TypeScript be able to infer the right type U in Array<T>.concat => Array<U> ?

> Lower quality editor/IDE integrations (when compared to TypeScript) This is one of my favorite aspects of TypeScript, the first-class support it receives in Monaco Editor (part of VS Code) which is one of the reasons I also chose

We actually canceled our shared Spotify account due to many similar friction points. The main benefit of Spotify was being able to discover new music, and I found it wasn't much better at that than subscribing to specific YouTube chann

I guess that depends on what you mean by success. If nobody ever remembers my successes, if I never make "disrupt" any industry, if I never get to retire, if my works are never immortalized, even if all my software becomes obsolet

Along these lines, I always try to be purpose driven: I make software because I'm good at it and because it makes me money. I need that money to buy food and clothing for me and my wife and our kids and to pay for having a roof over ou

This is one thing I've wanted. A local app that lets me store all my data with markdown syntax, syntax highlighting, in local files and directories, specifically for macOS although a cross platform app would be fine. One that doesn&#x2

Wow. I thought this was going to be some silly alternate meaning of "illegal" within software, like a famous invalid memory address or something. Nope, it's actually a number that's against the law.

The only thing I can imagine that would be good for is learning how to write a C compiler :)

A bit on the more unusual side, one thing my son and I found very instructive on "lower level" concepts is the fact that within PICO-8, which is already a very user friendly high-level environment, you can use peek(), poke(), mems

Thanks I appreciate it and glad you enjoyed the dancing windows as much as I did :)

Now if they just evolve their "discussions" (formerly issues) into "live discussions", and then add one more feature to allow separating it by "tag" or maybe "topic" per repo, they can pretty much rep

Linux today isn't worse, but laptops are much more prevalent now, and they're harder to support drivers for than desktops. Especially Apple laptops which I've been using for a long time now, they're notorious for not bei

True, I may be thinking of 2000s Linux. Compiz and the wobbly windows examples were fresh in my mind from the other day's HN discussions.

And what else is the point of that except to let other people know about your hour-to-hour business? Their gif uses "Shipping [software]" as an example, and even has a "Busy" checkbook they they demonstrate ticking off.

Really glad to hear that you enjoy my app that much! I put a ton of hard work into it and honestly yours is the first feedback I've heard about it at all, beside a close friend who beta tested it briefly. If you have any thoughts on fe

I hate to say it but I feel like the 90s was a better time all around for the casual computer user. - You had total customization over your computer, every app was skinnable including Windows or MacOS itself - Linux was in a great spot, fin

All sarcasm aside, this feature is absolutely the wrong direction. Github may have some things in common with social networks, but it operates on a longer-term scale. It's the difference between a book and a paragraph. People who care

Yeah, I sometimes wonder about those statistics. But I'm not curious enough to invade people's privacy or use any of the other modern marketing manipulations to boost sales. I think if you make a thing and pour love into it, peopl

In my mind, this completely contradicts "privacy centric" and "offline first", which to me are very important goals. Even though the notes in the app are only ever stored on my computer, and even though it's metad
