I’m working on SimpleeFood, a simple self hosted recipe app. https://github.com/abhchand/simplee-food I found most of the offerings out there to be too bloated. Recipes are a simple thing - you want to store them, sear

Yes I would say it is used correctly here, with the definition you mentioned. And your english is good for not being an english speaker!

This feels like adding syntactic sugar in some sense. That is, a layer of convenience to accomplish something that can already be accomplished today. It also breaks the following: * It's better to be explicit than infer * Keep specific

DDG works great for ~90% of my queries. I do fall back on Google every now and then, but DDG honestly delivers results that are just fine.

A lot of webdev content (tutorials, blog posts, documentation, etc...) relies on being able to display multiple files and code snippets at once. I've always felt these files take up too much space on the page, and that there's a m

Author here. A few months ago I saw an article from RefactoringUI posted to HN about building your own color palette. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25180180 The concept seemed so simple that I can't believe I ha

This practice exists in traditional eastern Yoga - breathing out of one nostril and in with the other. A similar explanation is given about it having a calming and energetic effect. I know that doesn't provide the evidence you were loo

Is there a framework out there that faces as much consistent scrutiny as Rails? It seems odd that for a decade the web dev community has singled out this framework. It's always relevant to suggest updates and things to be fix - any fra

I like this idea. In response to it just creating more echo chambers: - it can't be worse than now - At minimum, it's an echo chamber of your own creation instead of being manipulated by FB. There's value in that, ethically.

It seems that WhatsApp has some oddity in how it handles captions on media items. I forward messages between various groups, but when you forward a media item like an image, it doesn't forward the caption with it. This is incredibly fr

Just learning more in depth about websockets. It's been around for a while but i've honestly never had the chance to play around with them. Thinking of putting together a small app as an excuse to play around with websockets

Sadly required, but seems very honest and relatable. Would probably share with any woman in tech. As a secondary point, I find several of these applicable to me as a guy too, although that's not the main point of this. I also really li

Great concept. I would've prefered an option to switch the days of the week and dates of the month. That way the numbers loop and the day of the week is fixed as a row/column header. That's more similar to how we read usual w

This was my same thought. Really impressive as an exercise to develop this yourself, but this is core functionality of a lot of ORMS. Rails' ActiveRecord is kind of the shining example of this, with it's `schema.rb` versioning fil

For reasons like and to avoid confusion I always name my environment file something specific like `.env.development` or `.env.dockercompose` Any system that reads `.env` files usually allows some way to specify the exact file to be read.

It takes a lot to even replicate some of the functionality of Google search. Huge credit to the DDG team for providing the second-best search results out there along with a much cleaner and privacy focused UI. I do occasionally go back to

Hate this is a problem that needs to be solved. Love that Twilio is trying to solve it with a cool, seemingly useful approach. Hate that Twilio will probably use something proprietary for this that locks people into their ecosystem even mor

Some reasons, playing devil's advocate: 1. While today's incident was unfortunate, Slack has been historically reliable. 2. There's a team of real people that works very hard to keep it that way. Using dismissive language jus
