The article doesn't appear to be blaming Javascript as a language, but rather the Node.js ecosystem as a server platform. Not all tools are appropriate for all niches. The author made it clear they don't have an issue with Javascr

Personally I don't understand the hype around smartwatches in general. Don't get me wrong, I understand them as a viable product and why a lot of people like them, but the demand for them was wildly overblown. Of everyone I know,

I agree about JSON, but I can't say I understand the logic behind TOML. I know it's supposed to be a config format, but it only seems to make any sense for INI-like configs that are little more than a flat key-value map. The place

JSON is an interchange format, but YAML is pretty obviously meant for configuration, given the huge emphasis on human readability and editing. As for TOML, it's a good replacement for mostly-flat INI-style files but the syntax is reall

Agreed. Even beyond the monetary aspect, it'd be an absolute headache to have to replace this stuff with any frequency. The biggest reason I'm a skeptic though is the incredibly carefree and reckless approach I've seen used b

Jenkins + generated jobs (i.e. jenkins-job-dsl or the new Pipeline DSL), and keep as much as the build configuration and logic in your project where it belongs. The configuration that lives on the CI server should be pretty minimal. We have

SwiftKey on Android is still by far the best for me, but unfortunately other problems with Android (namely the dearth of high-end devices under 5") are probably going to force me to switch to iPhone. The default Apple keyboard makes me

For starters, any utilities based on sourcing won't work, such as nvm/rbenv/etc. That's technically true for zsh in cases, but it's far easier to port or add compatibility for zsh than fish.

Personally I prefer uMatrix - it lets you enable specific things across domains instead of a binary allow/deny, and allows global versus per-domain or per-subdomain rules; e.g. I might be fine with one site collecting metrics but not g

You get a similar effect for free with any language whose community defaults to non-floating transitive dependencies, e.g most JVM languages.

I have CMD+arrow keys for that, and those key combinations are often easier to reach that home/end/pgdn/pgup on many keyboards. Haven't really needed a separate delete/backspace key. About the only time I use the se

There's a psychological difference between knowing it in the abstract and actually being confronted with and able to play back that history. And least for this, there's a way to delete it.

I couldn't disagree more. There should always be a way to make the content I'm looking at bigger in order to see it more clearly, especially for users with poor eyesight. "responsive design" does not magically eliminat

It's still a massive issue for me. My Z3C is the first smartphone I've ever owned that pretty much always makes it through a day, even days with heavy usage and I'm stuck trying to make a call at 2AM. Most smartphones would

Simple regexes are still fairly readable (e.g. a three number version string match), but if you find yourself having to worry about stuff like matching within escapable delimiters, it's time to put the regexes down and pick a different

This is a big part of why I've been reluctant to buy an iOS device. Originally it was because of the requirement to use the first-party keyboard software, but now it's because they've changed the design language in a way that

Too bad most of the community there is made up of the worst of reddit. Maybe if enough normal users moved there it'd be worth it, and maybe that will actually happen if reddit doesn't figure out how to salvage this, but until then

by stormbeta 11y ago
Honestly, I wouldn't even be mad if that was actually intentional. Reddit's community in the larger subs has been getting really awful of late.

No kidding. I really thought Hacker News was better than this, but a large number of the replies here are little more than parroted MRA talking points and other myopic comments.

I've been seriously considering switching to a Kobo. I already convert/strip the DRM from all my books anyways, as I loathe the idea of ever being stuck in one ecosystem (and have switched before, from Kindle -> Nook -> Kind

No offense, but where on earth did you get that impression from? I have a feeling whoever told you that has either never used npm with a non-trivial project or was messing with you. I've had more issues with npm in the last month than

The private registry is easy to get running, but actually using it is very, very clunky. I understand they want the public index to "always work", but the requirement to tag images with FQDN for docker to even try to use a separat

Keep in mind the request count too - lots of small packets can be considerably slower than their net size would suggest, especially if one gets dropped.

As far as I can tell, no one's sure yet.

True, but you're still talking about people who felt it was important to leave a review. I try to leave reviews of everything I buy, but I frequently forget to do so if the product performs as expected (neither exceptionally good nor bad).

But no middle click, which is something that the ThinkPads have and something I use every day. I also prefer the track point nub, as it lets me keep my fingers on home row.

I have an x120e too - how did you get suspend to work? With either the open source or the ATI driver, suspend would break if left suspended for more than an hour or so (screen won't turn back on, requires battery pull to fix).
