Speaking as someone who used to answer regularly and now doesn't at all, it's because the moderators have gotten insane and taken the fun / interest out of it. So at least in my case, your thesis is incorrect.

Thanks for the clarification. I guess I'm having a hard time classifying it, since you can use an actual VM but this seems like something less than that.

Perhaps emulator was a poor descriptor in this case -- I haven't used it. But it is running a subset of functionality non-natively, correct?

In my experience, emulators are never quite the same as the real deal. Has anyone used this, and if so how was it?

Yes, but did those users have 1,600 tabs open? That seems to be the use case Firefox is going all in on lately.

I think I got all of them right, but frustrating that it doesn't let you know at the end.

HN is probably the wrong forum for health advice, as it's not really something you'd "hack". Your best bets are mostly mundane according to the large, peer-reviewed studies that have been done, and you could summarize th

It's on the front page because it got voted there by the audience of readers on hacker news, thus it is relevant. QED.

Generally, small brands benefit from being associated with larger, successful brands. Having Facebook & Google as login options is probably better from a branding perspective, unless the audience is systematically averse to them.

The lessons here aren't terrible, but the notion that he "lost everything" as a 22 year old with $50k in savings is frankly laughable. This kind of hyperbole is what keeps a lot of people from starting a business of any kind

To be fair, the 2 things that are most often cited (timing and product market fit) are what many VCs do invest in, and they often get called crazy for doing so. The $400 juicer is a great example: my guess is there were some metrics that le

The fanboyishness really reduces your credibility as an author. If Facebook needed to clone an app that was a potential existential threat to their business with Angular, Vue, jQuery, or anything else they would do it just fine.

It really is a shame that this accountant person is tripling down on everything without actually having the needed domain knowledge. Thanks for following up on each of these -- as a small business owner that might pursue this, it's oft

If you're agreeing with gamblor, you're doing it in a way that sounds completely different and much narrower than what they're suggesting. My take from your parent comment was "don't bother", and my take from g

We actually tried the "Reddit for products" model about a year before PH and failed. They did a much better job cultivating a community and their site looked much better, so I'm not surprised they had better success than us.

I'm assuming "modern JavaScript" means ES6. Has anyone used this, and does it produce readable code?

It's hard to take anyone seriously who doesn't even spell the name of the thing they're opining on correctly. I'd venture to say you've never used Vue in a meaningful way so probably aren't qualified to make a

Having used all three, it feels like Vue.js will grow to occupy the role that React occupies today. That, or React will (smartly) take on some of Vue's core features like single component files with actual HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in
