If they dived deeper into the usage patterns and broke down app usage by specific apps, I'd suspect a vast majority of that time is spent in a tiny handful of popular apps, since there are also countless studies pointing to the fact th

As far as I'm concerned, the problem is the people who choose to disable JavaScript and demand to be catered to without considering how much extra development resources I'd have to allocate to maintain a version of my app that wor

I think you're taking that specific opening question a bit too literally (though to be fair, I'm also at fault for not being as direct as I could have been with my point). It's fairly clear from the rest of my post and from t

All I really want is to hear an explanation from Nat Friedman, CEO of GitHub, the human being, who said he wouldn't pull resources away from Atom development and then evidently did so soon after, to end all this needless speculation on

Can you explain what happened to Atom development? I've seen numerous posts noting the sharp decline in contribution soon after the acquisition was announced. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22601451 https:/

I too swear by my Shures. I've tried quite a few NC headphones/earphones over the years but they've all had issues with distortion, wind noises, etc to some degree, whereas my Shures can passively cut out just as much noise a

Not entirely sure if the article is aimed at a web audience, but if it is, this would be an awkward justification because the unit "pixel" in CSS is normalized w.r.t DPI.

Ah I see, that makes sense. Shadow DOM definitely offers much stronger style encapsulation than a React component where you can only "enforce" that components shouldn't reach into it to style internals by convention.

This reminds me of read receipts in chat apps. Hate them with a passion. I usually just leave the chat itself unopened and read the notifications until I'm ready to actually reply.

IMHO, Deno's approach to package management, that is to say, no package management ("packages" are just source files that you'd import directly using urls or file paths), is a breath of fresh air compared to the status q

I personally really enjoy the automatic line breaking behavior of prettier as it frees me from having to make this entire class of purely stylistic decisions but still have code formatted in a reasonably legible manner. But I also have wish

I don't think anybody's expecting them to fund both indefinitely, but given that their soon-to-be new CEO went on the record to say that they would actually keep funding Atom development, I feel it's fairly reasonable to expe

That's altering the _code_ as opposed to altering the _state_ of the system.

I think the "_running_ app instance" is the key distinction here. Breakpoints require halting your system, so while you can inspect the system's state, you can't meaningfully alter it as you could with the kinds of Cloju

I think the major difference between the Clojure REPL experience and most other language's REPLs that I've worked with is the fact that Clojure REPLs can connect to a running stateful system (or a situated program as Rich Hickey c

Part of it also comes from the tendency of large orgs to ship their org structure. It can oftentimes be worthwhile to have individual teams each fully "own" a piece of the product, and that also comes with the autonomy to choose t

Interesting, I thought this was going to have something to do with their acquisition of Spectrum, but it appears to be an entirely separate in-house feature. I wonder what's going to happen to Spectrum longer term then. https:/&#

I can confirm all of the above, having lived through an infestation myself. Had to ditch my dirt cheap apartment and basically throw away all of my belongings at the time out of fear of bringing any of them with me to the next place ("
