You’re right on just about everything, especially the external pressures that come with a fancy office. After 10 years of writing software, I’ve realized that being in an office is the opposite of productive when it comes to coding. The off

I think we can agree that the author is genuinely interested in the problem. Personally, it’s exhausting to hear what I believe are the same people ask web developers to build with competing constraints at the same time. A good website must

These people march into every JavaScript discussion, carrying the same cross on their back since the first day Netscape supported AJAX. They lament what a travesty the internet has become thanks to this mongrel language which broke the puri

Semi-related, I don’t understand how authors can pour so much work into a book and let it be published with a mediocre cover and backmatter. The old saying is just the opposite. A bad and cliche cover is the real death sentence for a book.

I say with full confidence that high school was a complete waste of time and sanity. It’s basically a four year prison, menial labor and all. Did you know that the pilgrims came to America on a ship named the Mayflower? Well there’s a test

Thank you for the kind words. Unfortunately for the OP, I think the internet and real life will continue to blend together until it’s considered as natural as running water and electricity.

It does feel like that internet is gone, or at least in the rear view mirror. If there’s anything incredible about the modern web, it’s high definition video. Being able to watch shows with a group of friends over zoom still feels like magi

My father was an early adopter in home computers, dial-up internet, and IRC communities. While we weren’t poor, our lives weren’t exactly laden with many luxuries. My father saw computers as something to learn from and use as an advantage t

There’s moments like this that I wish I was savvy enough to short some Apple stocks before the verdict. I suppose you could even use the windfall to buy more shares before the stock price recovered too!

I used to teach web development and was always frustrated with just how much effort went into setting up a machine. It would be really nice if a developer could just include a script tag in their project that setup a TypeScript compiler ins

I really hope that companies continue asking these questions and rejecting great candidates who choose to keep real world knowledge in their figurative L1 cache. After all, it makes it much easier for my company to find people that code rea

“By posting the results online I’m ‘less’ likely to throw down a big pile of ass-shit,” the artist explains of the impetus behind the daily creative exercise on his website, “even though most of the time I still do because I suck ass.”

There’s something uncanny about the phrasing in this article. Using terms like “Paid wall” instead of “pay wall” gives me the impression that these tips aren’t very accurate or useful.

Like most political spray paint stories, is pretty dubious. The the damage to Pelosi’s garage is especially strange. What vandal would tape off the brick surrounding the garage door? Clearly someone who doesn’t want difficult to remove pain

I beg someone out there, please run an experiment that reposts PG’s articles on Medium.com with a different author’s name. All things equal, I wouldn’t doubt that HN would start giving these posts a proper vote count. But then again, some p

That's absolutely true. It's just also a very narrow lense to look at the situation. I've worked retail and it honestly sucks for everyone involved. The customers can't make informed choices or even get an unbiased direc

Does anyone else see the irony here? The Dark engineers switched their core language with another because the open source ecosystem wasn't broad enough to cover their needs. And yet they're asking their customers to make the same

Just a heads up. The Uline management has made significant donations to political organizations against equality of marriage, universal health care, worker's rights, and cannabis legalization. Regardless of your stance, I would consid

I couldn't agree more. Their articles are low quality and meander through their subject far too long. It's also suspect that their articles frequently hit the front page, despite having few comments.

Loading of modules can be managed by Webpack's chunk configuration. Each import declaration can be turned into a promise that executes your code when all dependencies are fetched.

Here here. The author clearly hasn't worked with Apple's implementation of Audio Context either. Granted the bar is pretty low compared to Chrome, but wow! What a mess. Safari consistently has latency and bit rate issues when play

Despite this article's length, there isn't a single full text example. The author uses the phrase "duospace" font a dozen times before actually explaining what it is: a mostly monospace font. I find it ironic that an ar

Indeed. Benn's "Compositions for Piano" has been my personal favorite for years. There's something very clean and crisp about his mastering. Some call it "Modern classical". I call it sublime.

This may sound a bit snarky, but does anyone here recommend Cucumber tests? I've found they add a lot of overhead to writing without much benefit. Non-technical employees can't really write them either so they be revised by a deve

The W3C is run by the same peers who frequent this and other tech forums. You can help by contributing to the organization, or you could hope for some internet points with snarky remarks. Which do you want to be remembered for?

I can sympathize. This article has been on the front page for hours and only has 50 points. Doesn't anyone else find this suspicious? Every single time a Nautilus article is submitted it seems to hang around for hours. Can @dang weigh

I'd really appreciate it commenters stopped bring this up in every time someone mentions Somalia or libertarians. It was hardly clever the first 15 times. Nobody is claiming Somali is a paradise. It's comments like this that destr

Am I the only one who's skeptical of how quickly Nautilus reach the front page? I swear on like 15 different occasions a mediocre article with no comments get a surge of upvotes. I'm hesitant to say there's foul play but some
