This is my reading of it too. I think a lot in government - and let's no forget Grenfell was government housing - would love for the blame to placed elsewhere.

The proper British accent, incidentally, doesn't exist. This accent, Received Pronunciation, is an artificial creation. It was created fairly recently, too. It is used to designate social status. The only proper British accent is the m

Agree. It also makes for a sql table explosion.

It's hard to get excited for the web. I guess Apple will support it sometime never, as they don't support webm in safari.

Is the issue with SPAs or frameworks like React, Angular, Vue etc?

Yeah. That’s much nicer than the references; gives you a nice intuition for it.

I started at the same time as you. I can’t say it’s a nice API nor can you eyeball the document and understand its layout, but it’s better than the horror shows of centering things of old. Things like flexbox froggy allow it to become fairl

CSS Grid is nicer for large layouts, and it’s nice to change one piece of text and change your layout, especially if you’re living in your CSS file only. And from time to time I’ve relearnt it and got excited about it. But it’s unwieldily;

Because with HTML you would use HTML to structure your elements. Javascript was never designed to structure element s we get things like JSX, to compensate, adding further complexity. HTML Imports was an attempt to keep with the existing pl

I'm talking about how you import that into your main HTML file.

The death of HTML imports killed web components for me. With HTML imports, you would import a HTML file. In that file would be css, html and the js to make the component. Then you’d use HTML as usual in your main file. Finally you could cre

But most company's work becomes political now. You only want to work on a feature for a social media platform? No politics there, right?

Why the CEO hate? Firefox has finally completed the quantum refactor and is far better than before. Most of the hate seems political: people keep bringing up supporting a ban on homosexual marriage and how Mozilla shouldn’t have liberal cul

I use ddg for 95% of my searches. I sometimes go to google but I can’t say they’re necessarily better.

You can do both. You can make relations between jsonb fields. Or, as I do: have a jsonb blob in one column, and a normal sql field in another, and do the sql joins with that. So I have some data fields as sql columns, and some as jsonb prop

JSONB objects with SQL relations in Postgresql is my happy-medium between the joy of schema-less JSON and the reassurance of SQL relations.

I often think about returning to a Linux laptop. Things, generally speaking, tend to “just work” on a mac, but it fails for a poweruser, even with various tools such as hammerspoon, since I oft want to morph the GUI to my liking - something

I worked in a non-tech office where people used Firefox. At one point firefox was taking 30 seconds to load. I’d experienced this too and it seemed to be a bug in the profile manager. Nonetheless my colleagues were unimpressed. This was bef

Despite this being obvious hn catnip, I’m interested. I loved the little and seasoned schemer books, yet found both racket and CL somehow divergent and unappealing. Does anyone here use it? I can’t find if it deals with continuations well.

Hasn’t the quantum project been successful? It seemed like project accomplished to me. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24164058 It’s not like they binned servo and decided not to use it improve ff. It did improve ff. T
