Seems like this article conflates threads C# with asynchronous operations a little. The way I see it, threads are for parallel & concurrent execution of CPU-bound workloads, across multiple CPU cores. And typically use Task Parallel Lib

Being facetious. But does blood splatter count as art?

Not because it’s Apple, but rather because Apple are exploiting their position as iOS App Store gatekeepers to require developers to add Sign In With Apple. Mozilla don’t have this position / power. I think people would have the same i

Sign in, but not sign up? I guess some apps will not allow accounts to be created through the iOS app. Much like netflix stopped allowing sign up on iOS [ https://gadgets.ndtv.com/entertainment/news/netflix-ios-app-

Anyone know which Android based phone manufacturers or brands are based in the EU? Does the fine match their expected loses? What does the EU do with the money?

Doesnt make sense, if google didn’t geoblock EU IP addresses how would the EU react? Issue another fine which Google won’t pay? A similar analogy would be like the US blocking their citizens from traveling to North Korea. But then having di

Shouldn't need a license to prove you're an engineer unless say perhaps you're running an engineering business, where people's lives can depend on your work - e.g building a bridge. If you have formal education in engine

We have a smallish team working on web apps and use a trunk-based-development branching strategy. Not really to do with helping CI/CD. The advantage we see is that new developers can start developing as soon as they clone the repositor

Interesting. Following serial there was an interview with Jay by The Intercept where he talks about incosistencies in his story, and how lied about some details because he was drug dealing from his grandmothers house and he wanted to prot

Hard to verify. Perhaps if the FBI or other law enforcement continue to use the supposed vulnerability - eventually information obtained from a breached iPhone will appear in court as evidence..

Is there any reason we cannot use both TypeScript and Flow. Besides perhaps the extra 'compile' time added to do both translation with TypeScript and then static analysis with Flow. Both tools have their advantages and disadvantag

I get the impression he would like to sell this information to Google, in an acquisition.

But he doesn't spell out the ways in which LiveNinja is better, like others here, I was waiting for the comparison? He's deliberately held off on specifics to use it as a selling point for acquisition. "Buy us and I'll

Ok so the name and tagline of this library is wrong/confusing. But forgetting that, visually it looks like a nice alternative to bootstrap. Still some work to be done.

Does it bother anyone else that Go supports the GOTO statement? I would've thought GOTO an obvious construct to leave out when creating a new language, to protect programmers from themselves? (See Dijkstra on 'GOTO statement cons

Ok, I'll give some suggestions, I'll be blunt. But first you should know that I'm not a web designer - so take them with salt. It might also be worth asking for suggestions as a Hacker News thread? Or perhaps a web-design specific forum. I'

Looks more mature than JSDB.io - particularly with the larger collection of libraries and tagging system etc. But honestly your site is cluttered and ugly, JSDB is winning there. A twitter feed, really? I think your site needs some clear di

I would argue that the self-documenting code in your first example (albeit excessively verbose to suite your argument) is better than having to put a comment above every terse statement one writes?. Programming with descriptive and meaningf

I think you're both arguing different things: jlgreco: vi/vim is an efficient text editor when you learn it! And even more efficient with a foot pedal! Don't discredit our time spent learning vi/vim when it is in fact an efficient text edit

Trolling. Really? This guy is expressing an equally valid argument. And one that I suspect a fair portion of HN readers agree with. Personally, I thought it was April 1st when I saw a foot pedal for a text editor!? Accusing him of trolling

Prevention is better than cure... So the next step would be to warn the developer before they make the code changes or during. Hooking into the IDE to visually indicate hot spots within the source file being edited on would be neat.
