The fact that Google needs to have Matrix explained to them is, frankly, appalling. I would expect an organization the size of Google would have someone there who's familiar with these not-uncommon federated networks. Or, you know, jus

I'm getting flashbacks of highly dithered, low framerate gifs of Norton AV saying this.

Personally, I can get a SPA running in Elm without using Google. I have to Google react-router if I use React instead. But that isn't the value I'm getting from this thread. This post, along with the talk of interviewing and webap

Rocket is nice but I had a much, much better experience with Warp[0]. I ran into a lot of roadblocks with Rocket, especially with stuff like JWT and working with databases. No such issues with Warp. 0: https://github.com/sea

Unlike hearing a sound vs. just the pressure waves, data's form doesn't change when someone interacts with it. It's the same before and after. Sure, the pressure waves don't change, but it's the interaction with the

You can't setup webhooks in someone else's project, though. Polling (or the atom solution in the comment section[0]) lets you react to changes in any project. 0: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25903821

I cannot imagine horror of the precedent it would be set if H&K successfully sued AB over copyright infringement for names that are visible only to the player who entered them. Those names are not shown publicly.

Ban reasons also include making a Facebook account just for the Quest and not using it for anything else.

My city is building tons of new apartments clearly meant for commuters to the nearby big cities and exactly zero of them have EV chargers despite being the most expensive apartments in town. I'm not holding my breath that new construct

I've had clients where this would get you told (in execuspeak) that the least important part of a project is the engineering and the engineering team. Which is of course why their sales people would answer every question with, "Ye

Sounds like my current project. I was tasked to start working on a project and was told I could use "whatever [I] want." So me and the other frontend guy started working using Clojurescript with Reagent and Re-frame (highly recomm

Great reply to this mindset. The chance that anyone who makes this claim has actually evaluated enough (or any) JS projects to see why they churn is effectively zero. We have version pinning for a reason. It lets churn exist without forcing

I really wish I saw what everyone else sees in TypeScript because that language has not sold itself to me at all, even using it professionally for years now. Even using it's primary feature can be a pain because nobody documents their

The biggest one I know of that's meant for your example use-case is Flattr but as you can tell by needing to ask, nobody's heard of it or really cares much about it anymore. These days it seems to be a bit more similar to Patreon.

Multi-chat clients had limited appeal by design because non-techies were more likely to just pick whatever service was the most convenient to them. Seems expected that it would be the techie folks consolidating all their friends because the

That's really not a great comparison, especially since browser-based social media and browser-based chat services (e.g. Facebook and its chat) are what killed services like AOL/ICQ, before later moving into mobile apps. Pigdin was

Using Pidgin for Discord is probably a bad idea unless the Pidgin plugin has Discord's blessing. They ban for using third-party clients.

The touchscreen in my car is wonky (known issue, just haven't bothered to fix it), so when something goes sideways with the Bluetooth audio, turning the car off and back on is easily the fastest way to get my music back.

Surely there's no way locking down distribution this much helps anything or anyone if working around the terms is simply some minor tedium that can be automated.

I think it's unintuitive because it's taught in that unintuitive way of just saying "zero is first." I know we can't get too terribly deep into this stuff with esp. young children, but we can at least gently introdu

I never much liked this being called a paradox since it has so many built in assumptions, most of them centered around any given, theoretical alien civilization resembling a human civilization in any way. It's a limitation of what we k

A better example is that equal time is frequently given to both sides of the climate change debate despite the actually numbers showing that calling it a "debate" is journalistic laziness. Equal credence would mean the deniers onl

The fourth bullet point is also a non-starter. I'm sorry, but it's not, nor was it ever, good advice for programmers to write code both at work and at home. We don't expect this of other careers, we shouldn't expect it o

I am happy to say that I do and would not give a single, solitary shit about a hive of racists and hatemongers losing their platform for spreading those things. Liberty is irrelevant to this, nobody is owed a platform owned by somebody el

I'm with you, here. I'm not convinced that downplaying facts just to make a headline read more friendly to a group that quite literally threatened to kill politicians is what I would call journalistic integrity. Sometimes the head
