This is exactly the kinda bug where you want to make a big splash though. You don't just want the guy to silently fix it, everyone in the database needs to be vetted again.

I'd argue Taylor Swift has done it too, and to a less mainstream degree Trent Reznor who has kept his career rolling along forever. A core audience who will buy what ever you sell is key, and also not being afraid to change your style

Unfortunately WebSQL was ahead of its time, I have no doubt it would have caught on more today with the resurgent popularity of SQLite. IndexedDB got to ride the NoSQL hype of the 2010's

It's not always about getting there "faster". I regularly encounter trucks with unsecured loads, drivers visibly weaving, and other dangerous situations. I'm certainly not going to die on some "well this is the spee

No, you ideally want all the jobs to be good. With the old model it was clear what the floor for getting something delivered was. Target could have instead adjusted order minimums or shrunk delivery zones instead. Gamifying peoples liveliho

No one is stopping you from still having a JSON API if your hypothetical use case requires it. The Accept header is there for a reason

I use tmux basically the same way but prefer tmux sessions because I find tabs hard to navigate reliably. With tmux I can assign a name to each session, list all sessions, and have keyboard shortcuts to take me to a specific session or crea

The argument about parsing twice doesn't seem very good to me. Vim and emacs are also parsing keystrokes, should we abandon them too? The cynic in me thinks it's more likely that because kitty offers tmux features he wants to lock

Looks like you can bypass the lapis renderer and use ngx.print() and ngx.header() to control the response yourself Look under skip_render here: https://leafo.net/lapis/reference/actions.html#render-option...

Yea maybe our definitions are just different, because I wouldn't call HN a social media site. It's a content aggregator to me, with some social features, like Reddit or Slashdot. Look at Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook, I believe

Sorry wasn't meant as an attack, the algorithm based feeds of instagram and twitter are almost a decade old now, and I believe facebooks older. There are definitely people in the tech field who have only (or mostly) experienced algorit

Maybe you're too young to remember or there's some sarcasm I'm missing, but that's literally how social media sites used to work. Content discovery was word of mouth or a separate page dedicated to popular stuff.

Sounds good in theory but how many people are actually qualified to interpret those algorithms? Average Joe on facebook is going to believe it does what ever Bob tells him it does.

Pro audio users aren't using the play button on the keyboard (the space bar is the industry standard to toggle playback), nor using bluetooth headphones (way too much latency to do anything meaningful)

As opposed to what? Linux barely has functioning wifi, bluetooth, audio, and video, and Windows also has countless utilities to decrapify the OS. It's not specific to Mac just a different flavor.

I can't help but wonder who this is actually for? Conversing with a computer sounds pathetic, but this will be pushed down our throats in the name of innovation (firing customer service agents)

What's the issue? I've been using stow for a decade now and can't recall ever running into problems

Our prison system is undeniable terrible but we also so rarely see white collar criminals get what they deserve. Most of these guys get a slap on the wrist and somehow fail upwards. And he's almost guaranteed to serve a smaller portion

I never understood why we put condiments in slim/squeeze bottles, I would love to buy a jar of ketchup.
