I don't understand why Firefox doesn't include an option to download the .deb package instead of tar file for Ubuntu and Debian during release announcements. The market share is already shrinking and why make it harder for people

So the reason why Zulip doesn't use React for the web app is that there was no React(at least not available for public) when Zulip started out in 2012. The Javascript frameworks which did exist in 2012 no longer exists or is not used b

Even though the website seems to have a history of plagiarism I don't think they named the website after HN. By going through their about us section it looks like they started the website in 2010 as a cybersecurity and hacking news pla

The implementation is neat. But I honestly don't get the point of this site. The shortened URL is of the form http://t.bdaily.club/34fe6 . When you open http://t.bdaily.club/34fe6 the server redirects y
