I originally used something else, but enough people complained about it being weird that I made the default a boring white/grey one. There are 10 other color schemes you can choose from in the dropdown in the footer though.

Congratulations! I've been using Intercooler for a while now and haven't tried htmx yet, but am looking forward to switching over. I really appreciate that you're continuing to work on tools that make this approach to webdev

If anyone wants to read an interesting technical article about Roblox, this "Eight Years at Roblox" one from August was excellent: https://zeux.io/2020/08/02/eight-years-at-roblox/

Huh. A throwaway account here on HN said that he was working at Microsoft 8 days ago, and I assumed they were wrong and thinking of Dropbox: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24983394 Sorry, throwaway account! Apparently

No movie has ever had a budget anywhere near $1.75 billion. This is more like... making the 5 most expensive movies of all time, in a row, and flopping all of them . That's a completely different level of failure.

I don't understand what you're asking.

No he doesn't. He worked at Dropbox starting in 2013, but retired last year.

I haven't looked into htmx much yet, but am using its predecessor intercooler-js, and this is my code for handling server responses and displaying an error message when it's needed: https://gitlab.com/tildes/t

Using an article entirely as an excuse to soapbox about something that's barely related should always be downvoted. Even if you agree with it, that doesn't make it a relevant (or good) comment.

Other than SF, Reddit now has operations/offices in NYC, Los Angeles, Chicago, Seattle, Dublin (Ireland), and London (UK) (as of last month: https://redditblog.com/2020/09/28/reddit-launches-london-ope..

Whoops, that's embarrassing. I quit working at Reddit a few years ago and don't do much there any more, but yes, that's me. Thanks!

Here's a diff between the two orders, if anyone else is curious about the specific changes. I used the TikTok/ByteDance order as the "original", so removals and additions are relative to changing that one into the WeChat

Every website effectively has an API to comment (or do any other action that's available through the site). You can just use HTTP requests.

Did you edit in the quote from the EO after? It specifically says "any transaction that is related to WeChat". The TikTok/ByteDance order doesn't include a "related to" qualifier like that, the same section in

There's no git usage, they're just storing a snapshot of each repo's current HEAD in a TAR file (and then compressed and QR-encoded). > The snapshot will consist of the HEAD of the default branch of each repository, minus

/r/gamedev didn't even exist until Reddit was 3 years old, and then it took years more until it was getting more than a couple of posts per day. Here's a snapshot of it when it was about a year and a half old, there were

I'd recommend uMatrix over NoScript. I used NoScript for years but switched over to uMatrix a few years ago (at the time it was working in Firefox Quantum but NoScript didn't yet), and I like it better now. It's quite a bit e

Twitter is nothing like that. It's a publicly-traded company with thousands of employees, covered in ads, and Jack Dorsey owns something like 2%.

(Disclaimer: promoting my own site) I worked at reddit for 4 years but quit in late 2016, largely because of the direction the site was starting to go even then. They've taken $500 million in venture capital in the last 3 years, so i

As the person that hid those upvote/downvote counts, I definitely remember that uproar well. A relatively small group "migrated" for a few days, but didn't stay. Here's Whoaverse one month after the up/down cou

This is also linked to the obsession with constant, never-ending growth. Bringing in new users is more important than making existing users happier - you just need to keep them happy enough that they won't actually leave. It results in
