It's been puzzling to me just how slow developers have been to adopt v3. Even right now if you look at a brand new extension created yesterday, or read a chrome extension tutorial from last week...they completely ignore the new manifes

Such a pleasant library to use, and coming from Vue I was somewhat surprised by that as Vue was the first lib I used where I could just intuit how something worked and was very often correct or close. Great job.

A lot of people in tech like to say this but I'm never sure it's genuine. When Microsoft made a go of it there seemed to be a concerted effort to laugh them out of the room, and they had a genuinely decent product that should have

Mostly because the "God" character of various religions comes with a lot of unnecessary psychological baggage. Why must we worship Him/Her exactly?

Man, that acronym is just...absurdly perfect.

I've never understood why techie interviews aren't simply replaced with the sort of discussions programmer co-workers have amongst themselves daily. I've taken to honing on a candidates CV that might say for example, experien

Well that's all well and good but it doesn't explain why even Mac OS devs are moving en masse to building for the web.

Sign of the times. In the last 5 or so years working as a consultant for large corporates I can't recall ever having to work on new desktop app/features. Everything is moving to the web even for internal uses so I'm not surpr

Pretty sure you wouldn't be happy with Microsoft taking this approach. It's abhorrent period.

It's been fascinating reading all the responses to Copilot. It's pretty clear to me now that developer habits are far more diverse than I thought. For me, Copilot seems like it will be useful in the exact same way that StackOverfl

I think the product is pretty cool, but I wish it had been announced by GitLab instead so there would be less of this brouhaha.

Every AlpineJS article I read has the disclaimer that this framework isn't meant for large applications without ever defining what that actually means.

It's a shame that these companies can't even vote with their feet because Apple users are too lucrative as a market. Hell of a position to find yourself in as a business.

Anectdata but I've attended three virtual funerals so far this year, all on Zoom. So I suspect there is plenty of brand recognition outside of business.

Spare a thought for Zoom. I don't see them surviving this.

I follow football (soccer) and at least in England, when you join a professional team there is a very heavy emphasis on mandatory media training for the players. Which is why you often see so many dull player interviews, you can literally s

Silly question, but is it not possible at all to build this as a PWA to get around the app store fees? I believe Twitter already have a basic PWA Twitter client that seemed ok the last time I tried it. The modern web has pretty good audio s

Heh, it helps if you're cynical by nature. From the very beginning I always sort of "known" that social media gave a very idealized view of people's lives. I remember once, I was sat outside at a burger joint watching a

Except HN will probably bring your site down in the process. I'm always in two minds about it even beyond the famously tough crowd here.

It's so good that it's boring. And as a fan I hope it stays that way.

Still destined to fail as it's too late by now but I do like these changes.

If this trend accelerates isn't one unintended consequence that fake news (which will remain free to access) will propagate even faster than it already is?

The article speculates that Peleton might be planning on launching their own smartwatch. That doesn't sound like anything that could possibly end well.

If SV is run on candor as the author believes, then surely the solution is to state empirically why you think the roles should be swapped?

And Jay-Z happens to be the founder of RocNation, a quietly successful artist/athlete management concern. A lot of dots can connect here.

It's also very unnecessary. I always wonder who the intended audience of this sort of reporting on scientific breakthroughs is.

Yes! It looked exactly like a B-Grade sci-fi film shot. Beautiful. I'm now sitting here wondering where it decided to crash land.
