   Names are important. It’s certainly understandable if someone makes a mistake the first time, though.

   I’m a huge OCaml fan, but really it lacks a lot of things that you get out of the box with the runtimes of other languages. Multi core support is the most obvious one. It’s definitely great for things like compilers, though. But I wouldn’t

   In my experience, MongoDB shouldn’t be used in cases where you need relations, or the typical guarantees that ACID databases bring. I think a lot of the “beef” people have towards MongoDB is from past experiences where it was used in this r

   The Fediverse needs a killer app that’s not just a clone of a centralized service. Without that, I imagine adoption will forever be low, because of network effects.

   I’ve noticed two main things about the many robocalls/spamcalls I’ve received (my carrier actually has spam blocking, and I haven’t received very many since activating it) 1. Most calls I receive from numbers not in my contact list a

   I disabled mine earlier this week. After a bajillion years of using the arrow keys (even in Vim), I needed something explicit to force me to use the homerow.

   So, a ban on hate speech means, to you, that they’re only tolerant of progressives...?

    That’s definitely something that happens in non-Electron apps, though. Not to mention the fact that Electron apps just bundle an archive containing the app sources (minified or not), whereas you’re not necessarily going to be able to read t

    I honestly don’t think that would ever happen, for many reasons, the first being funding, and the second being network effects.

    There is also Angel: https://angel-dart.github.io People tend to ignore it in these conversations (which frankly, is often disheartening), but it’s been used in production, and is nearly done with a large upgrade. (disclaimer: I

    So why charge for it if it's just reusing an open-source tool?

    I know this is (maybe) a little nit-picky, but what exactly does "blazingly fast" mean here? The README compares its performance in benchmarks against Lua, but Lua is not necessarily "blazingly fast" either when compared

    I’m not the biggest Python fan, but I can definitely tolerate it, as long as I have a decent way to use the models from another language.

    For GP, and for those in other comments who were confused about the phrase "token," this is it in a nutshell - having people doubt your accomplishments, and assume that the reason you're in a position is not because you'

    This is actually some of the best news I could have received. I’m a recovering NoSQL user who’s currently working on an app that I hope to eventually grow to scale... I just don’t have experience managing clusters manually, so I’d honestly

    Writable file access, ability to use ES6 and beyond without compatibility issues, media keys, etc. But really I think that filesystem access is probably the main one, at least for me.

    Twitter’s content muring is useless in that it still shows quote Tweets if anyone you mute in your timeline. I have POTUS, Tomi Lahren, and several others blocked and muted, yet they still appear in my timeline because of the infamous “slam

    One question - where the heck are these kids' parents? I think most people on dating apps are under the impression that other users are of legal age. If your child is searching for adult partners, complete strangers, over the Interne

    There’s a lot of Javascript on the Internet. If you disable it in your browser, there’s going to be some content you can’t use. It’s a trade off. Not every website has no-JS users designed in mind. I’m not defending the lack of accessibilit

    Hot take: the Fediverse won’t catch on unless it gets a killer app of its own. Every federated project I’ve seen is a clone of something else.

    You can get a decent pop filter for like $6 online, or just make a simple DIY one (there are YouTube videos about this).
