It brings me genuine joy to use websites like HN or Rock Auto that haven't been React-ified. The lack of frustration I feel when using fast interfaces is noticeable. I don't really get why so many websites are slow and bloated the

I think the parent comment means "commits" in the sense of the actual changeset; not just the message.

I deployed my first non-trivial Deno app to production in 2023. There were some teething issues with learning to keep the lock file in sync, especially in a repo with multiple entry points each with separate lock files. Some of the granular

The web is getting faster, yes. This manifests as a constant (albeit slow) downward trend in global aggregate metrics. We think this trend is mostly due to Google pushing performance metrics being linked to search rankings. However the data

Weird that in the process of "restoring free speech", Musk permabanned dozens of journalists who had ever been critical of his companies.

All vehicles in NZ pay road user charges; EVs have just been exempt to encourage uptake. There are RUC weight classes but they only exist to separate light (<3500kg) and heavy (>=3500kg) vehicles rather than distinguish between a Nis

Hopefully you realise how lucky you are, and that your situation is the exception in the USA rather than the standard.

Google's interview process lends itself to finding people who really want to work at Google. Nobody would go through that process to work for a small unknown company, even for the same total compensation.

I can't tell if this is satire or not, but I'm assuming it's genuine. Compression is not a replacement for minification. The client still needs to parse and run the uncompressed source code. Minification provides measurable p

Git commit hashes _are_ deterministic. Run `git cat-file -p <hash>` on your two hashes. The timestamp in the committer field will be different. That is why the hash changed.

Is this a shitpost? I honestly can't tell. You start off by saying you've only ever visited SF and then go on to make a load of generalisations as if you know SF like the back of your hand. Also this: > there are very few attra

Chill out, friend. Parent comment kindly suggested the use of a gender neutral noun to make the passage more inclusive. No one is forcing you to use nonexclusionary language. If you want to exclude over half of the world's population o

I left NZ in 2011 and came back recently. It's still more or less the same place I remember. If you are an active outdoorsy type, I don't think there are many places in the world that compare to NZ. Where I live I can be at a surf

If you think the presence of a power grid is the same as having power 24/7, you need to spend some time in other parts of the world. In some places you are lucky to have power for 12 hours a day. You're looking at this from a posi

The touchpad on my current gen Dell XPS 13 is superb on a stock Ubuntu install. I'd love to know how much of the "bad touchpad" reputation that Linux has is down to low quality hardware versus software support.

I'm not disagreeing that wood burners have a negative effect on air quality, but there are plenty of valid reasons to burn wood for heating. Not having access to a stable uninterrupted electricity supply is one reason. Cost is another

I just finished adding SSO to the (very small) SaaS company that I work for, and this page gives me mixed feelings. Yeah, SSO is a security feature and you expect to get security for free. But SSO is not free for us as the service provider.

Auth0's pricing really disappointed us, but we don't have the resource to switch to another vendor at the moment. We're a SaaS who need a few dozen enterprise SAML connections, but each connection only has 5-10 logins per mon
