This is correct. Any writing software that aims for an audience larger than HN needs to have a very robust docx export capability. My partner tells me that it has to be formatted a certain way down to the font and line spacing too or they w

I'll tell her to let her editor know that. Lol.

This has no word export option (unless I missed it) which makes it infeasible for a lot of writers. Like it or not, docx is the format a lot of folks in mainstream publishing expect. Context: My partner is a published author and I've p

This is the right call and I applaud Airbnb for putting the integrity of our democracy ahead of short term profits. I simply cannot believe that we are at the point where we have to brace for domestic terrorism in our capitol but here we ar

There are some good ones in here but I'm not sure I agree with everything. The disallowing of reduce for instance strikes me as kind of arbitrary. I'm definitely going to knick a big chunk of these for my projects though. I'm

I dunno man. Like you, I use vim for lighter text editing tasks and JetBrains stuff for times I need to get serious. Your comments make me think that maybe you haven't spent enough time with vscode to appreciate it though. I think for

I recently migrated part of a platform over to a distributed architecture with a heavy reliance on serverless functions. We had very specific reasons for doing it that I wont get into, but I can confirm that its an unbelievably bad experien

The author makes compelling arguments but I respectfully disagree with their conclusion. Null exists for cases where you want to set the the absence of a value intentionally. It is literally the value of having no value. Undefined exists fo

Everything I've heard about the panama papers suggests that it's a massive scandal that exposes how the rich and powerful are systematically fucking over society. The sad truth is that even though it's been exposed, the schem

I stongly encourage anyone who uses a kindle for reading ebooks to back up their library via Calibre. If Amazon tried this rediculousness theres still a way to get all your content back via plugins that can convert them to plain epub. Uneth

Currently migrating off a graph database and back to a relational one. It's been a bit of a nightmare. I think there are legitimate use cases for the tech. Yours probably isn't it.

IMO they should remove the number pad and use the extra space to add some decent speakers on this thing. That said, they don't have as much control over the hardware as I would hope. As I initially said, this is a rebranded clevo so th

If I am not mistaken, Linux is known to problems with higher rez screens. Honestly this is the best looking laptop screen I've ever used. My previous machine was a retina screen too. Its bright and crisp and easy on my eyes. I have som

My partner is a novelist and owns two of these. She's been drafting with them for a little over a year and swears by them. She says the appeal is that you can't go back and read more than a few lines so you just kind of go and the

Thanks for the perspective. :) IMO the only downside to your approach is that it couples your action creators to the calling component. That isn't necessarily a bad thing but it all depends on what your particular goals are. If you int
