My countertop water heater power cord does the same thing. It's kinda annoying, because just moving the boiler around the counter will often cause it to come loose: https://shop.zojirushi.com/products/8-cdp-p300 T

Rather than "acceptance", I wonder if there's a better metric like "committed to git" (harder to measure, of course) or maybe "correctly finishes a code block from this standardized test suite". I'll

Purely anecdotal, but to me there was a pretty noticeable downturn in comment quality over the last 1.5 - 2 years, when the post-covid-bubble layoffs and RTO stuff started. Maybe commenters who were previously able to waste time on their jo

Realistically though, isn't most of USB a race to the bottom with bad implementations being the norm, not the exception? USB-C is an especially tragic case of this, with shitty products outnumbering the good ones 100:1, fake reviews ev

Yes, sometimes, often, usually, but not always! And it's really, REALLY hard to know which is which. No two host/receiver/intermediary devices (all with USB-C) can be guaranteed to support the same over-the-wire protocols, ev

In my experience, small teams especially like to fall into the "any data is good data" trap, where they build a bunch of big, beautiful dashboards full of irrelevant, misleading data. A solar company produces a bunch of time-serie

I don't know what your role is, but in the web app frontend world at least, it's super helpful to work closely with the UX and support people, and where possible, with customers directly. You get to see how they use your app in th

Nobody is forcing you to use a library (much less a full framework) if you don't want to. Yes, they're often a pain, and often result in a shitty DX. It's more that the big name libs for this use case have a lot of optimizati

Yes, some of it may be network lag (asset prefetching can help) but some of it is also just UI jank that has nothing to do with the network. I wouldn't really call it smooth compared to an optimized mapping lib like the other ones. Hav

You're kinda preaching to the choir here on HN, where many people feel the same way (not me personally, but generally speaking). That's fine, you can still use Typescript with vanilla JS and not use any frameworks. Typescript shou

You can email hn@ycombinator.com to ask, but both your submissions were flagged (probably by other users). From a new account, self promo of a blog article probably looks like spam.

It's a developer experience thing. Moves many bugs from runtime to coding time, letting you catch them preemptively and fix them right in the IDE without going through build cycles or hot reloads. You instantly know if something will b

IMO I think this is pretty laggy once you zoom in, at least on my phone (Pixel 7 running Chrome). Switching zoom levels takes a long time to load the assets. The bunny has some temporary displacement relative to the background. Panning resu

In my world, >$100 is a large purchase. A car is a huge purchase that happens maybe only 2-3x in a lifetime, and purchasing a house is something I hear about in history books, when apparently there used to be a middle class.
