HNers don't seem to get it, but the average, non tech-savvy really doesn't care whether an app is native or not. It just doesn't really matter, unless of course you're doing something performance-intensive. But most peop

Solely addressing #1 here, and this may come off harsh, but I think it's ridiculous to expect Deno to match the library ecosystem of Node on day 1. That's just literally impossible, but whenever a new language or runtime is releas

Ah, definitely. I'm in a work-from-home situation right now, and have been trying to type things during video calls (being careful to mute my audio and not show the typing on video, of course). I can imagine that within two weeks, I&#x

Learning touch typing. I've never been 100% on typing without looking at the keyboard when going fast, and I think that learning to do so would boost my productivity.

Reading this comment, one has to wonder what its actual relevance to the content is. Is the code of conduct somehow more important than the actual library itself?

Learn GNU Guile, it's a dialect of Scheme. AFAIK, Scheme is specifically intended for use in teaching programming. I spent a late night reading the manual and hacking out some toy programs, and the rest is history. TLDR: Guile is very

1. Calling it an outrage "mob" is dishonest, and that's why I say it doesn't exist. It's not mob mentality. Did it occur to you that there are reasons that many people could have been outraged by what he wrote? Call

1. I don't recall him ever "asking for forgiveness," or doing anything besides doubling down on his memo. 2. The "outrage mob" isn't real. You know who got James Damore fired? Himself. It's especially tell

What if I told you that you can have all of these things, while also having a website that looks good?

It's not a "fact." But really, if you truly think that there is no hate in that slogan, then there's no point having this conversation, because I know what kind of person you are.

Like I said earlier, why deliberately miss the point? "Make America Great Again" is a hateful slogan. You're purposely denying that to try to prove some point.

This is silly to say. Why deliberately miss the point? "Finding" some hateful is not the same as being on the receiving end of types of hate that have caused a lot of violence and persecution over centuries.

Seems cool. What sorts of use cases do you see foresee it having? And is there support for using libraries, or importing code from other files (couldn't find it in the docs). Either way, it's cool, and it'll be nice to hear f

I use Postgres for everything. The one thing I wish they would do, though, is improve the error messages when a query fails. At the very least, if I know which position in the text is the beginning of an error, I can fix it.

Original article was here, in case my comment makes no sense now: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22683535 I was confused as to why the page in question had changed, but I realized it was moved.

I don't understand why the title was changed - the focus of the article isn't just on the fact that WebKit is changing how it handles local storage, but also a criticism of Apple's motivations for this decision.

What's fantastic about a vendor intentionally ignoring multiple standards, in favor of their own walled-garden? You might be ignoring the wishes of actual users when you say it's "fantastic."

White supremacy is more than mere "political opposition." Don't trivialize that.

It pains me to think that this will probably never happen.

That's just an opinion, and one far removed from reality at that. There's an entire world of content on there besides "American politics takes," one that you probably haven't interacted with.

What most compiler tutorials are missing is coverage of intermediate representations. There are a billion parsing and calculator tutorials, but not nearly as many that show the process of turning, say, C-style code, into some sort of interm

People on Hacker News, by and large, don't seem to grasp the concept of using Twitter for things other than having debates/arguments. The criticisms of it here typically boil down to it not being a good platform for discussion, wh

Every time this topic comes out, I can't help but think that the majority of comments show some degree of confirmation bias. What's missing from the conversation are the perspectives of those who had a positive interview experienc

One way could be to have an additional "thread_id" in your database that just points to the root of the given thread. Boom, problem (naively) solved.

That's amazing. I remember back in 6th grade, thinking I could take a swing at this... 9 years later, not even a dent made. Maybe one day. I guess part of it is that if you ask the average person, even if they have ML experience, they
