   It would be helpful to mention that these guidelines -- and semver generally -- don't really apply to applications from what I've read. Versioning applications still feels like a gut feeling.

   Thanks for sharing! I'm one of those folks who has a directory of text file notes (they happen to be markdown files). Looking at the site, though, it's not clear why I would want to use this. It demonstrates 4 commands: (edit: not

   I've been waiting to get a new MacBook until they fix the keyboard issue. Any word on that with these newer models? Or are they doubling down...

   Can someone explain how this doesn't create an obvious inflation issue?

   hahaha, I love this. Totally using it until I get sick of it. It's the new Microsoft GitHub theme! :P

   I left Gmail once, but what brought me back was its separation of "primary", "promotions", "forums", and "updates". I don't know how I'd get through my emails without that. Has anyone seen a

   CloudFormation supports json too. And if you really want to use json for docker or kubernetes you can use a yaml cli. `docker-compose up -f <(npx js-yaml docker-compose.json)` or something like that.

   There is literally no way to click those links on an Android phone. They're not clickable and I can't even highlight them to copy and paste.

   JavaScript's async/await is our reward for suffering promises. Not perfect, but makes the language a lot more approachable IMO.

    Anyone know of an alternative email client that sorts your mail intelligently into promotions, updates, forums, primary like Gmail does? That's had such a positive impact on my productivity I can't leave it behind (I've tried

    Oh boy have I tried just about everything. I've settled on a pretty nice solution: markdown files in my Dropbox directory. To edit them I use iA Writer (paid but worth it) for a very nice markdown exciting experience without any specia

    I've had my whoisguard at namecheap unexpectedly not renew several times, despite my having enabled auto renew, and the domain auto renewing. As a result my info was exposed until I caught it. I've migrated most of my domains to i

    Interesting read. But I'm wondering: how do you _create_ a zip bomb? Do you first need to create a petabyte file? Or can you compute it or something?

    So do you just have a ton of inbox rules/filters set up?

    Does digital ocean have any equivalent of aws' RDS? Or do I have to manage my own database server?

    I want to check this out but I'm on my phone so there's no way to "view source" and see how to actually use the framework. All I can see is the resulting grid on the demo page. Maybe add code snippets?

    Does it intelligently separate "promotions", "updates", and "forums" emails so you can focus on emails that are actually conversations? I used fastmail for a while and it didn't do this, and it was _so_ mu

    Signal has a desktop app that syncs with your phone, and if you use Facebook messenger, caprine is a great desktop version.

    Interesting. Do you know how selenium does that?

    by timwis 9y ago

    But we can just create/use a JS library that simulates typing. It would work for an app that needs it, or on your automation environment because it's just using the DOM API. Is selenium doing something special beyond triggering th

    Awesome! I will totally use this. Love that I don't need to upload them to some unknown server. Although macOS preview lets you merge PDFs by dragging and dropping, but not more complex editing.

    It looks strange to me, too. It looks like they using typescript in their examples, probably to be more descriptive.

    Do you have to install anything on the host machine? Or can both just go to the website? (Will this help me fix my mom's computer remotely?)

    Anyone know of a markdown editor that has quick, notational velocity style file search/creation and just saves files to the hard disk? (So I can sync the directory via Dropbox or Google drive myself)

    I don't think web components were intended to be used directly by average users; even a basic abstraction layer makes the tedious bits easier. Take this to its logical end and you have something like [skatejs]( https://github

    A common security issue I've seen with uses of JWT doesn't have to do with JWT itself but how it's used by front-end developers. It's commonly stored in localStorage instead of an HttpOnly cookie, which creates a cross-s
