I'm not even old (mid-20s), but I scale the site to 150%. HN is honestly one of the worst sites I have used with regards to default scaling across resolutions. OTOH the simplicity of the site allows for very easy browser-based scaling,

This seems to only really work in languages that allow null variables/timestamps. I wouldn't really want to have to do comparators to the default value of a timestamp.

I think that the biggest differentiator between Discord and the others (mumble, TS, Vent, etc) was that Discord has very mature text chatting as a first class citizen, rather than an afterthought. This is what I have anecdotally seen as the

I have been a big fan of the Mozilla Public License 2.0 [1]. I find it is the best combination of "if you use this and improve or modify, those changes need to go to the original code" while not restricting overall usage. IMO ther

There was a really interesting paper [1] being circulated a bit last week in the circles I frequent on a few sites that dug a bit deeper into this. The villains are often very superficial and the consequences of the ensuing fight is very ra

To be fair, from a security standpoint if you want *the highest security* allowing third party installers is one of the first things I would disable as well.

I have a very hard time getting behind these complex configuration languages. To me what makes a configuration format good is the simplicity of reading the configuration of a program, and almost all of these languages are optimizing for f

In my experience, I have seen much less of the OOP-only group, especially in recent years. The general feel I have seen when communicating with other developers about this is that OOP is a tool and it's probably not the best one, b

I have to say I really appreciate this! I was going down very similar lines just last week (I had installed Hammerspoon and was experimenting with some applescript hacks, but to no avail). Just intercepting the actual scroll and inverting i

I have been looking for a solution to this problem for a very long time and my reasoning is that on a trackpad, natural makes a lot of sense intuitively, since you are "pushing" the document (page/app/whatever) the direc

I think that is a very optimistic view of how things are currently - I think 80-90% of all business still operates in a similar organizational fashion as it did 20 years ago, and it is changing linearly at best, not exponential.

TBF with a completely greenfield project and managed K8s (GKE or EKS) you can absolutely get a pretty well set up infra very quickly if you are willing to learn how to do so. I often get the feeling a lot of the negativity comes (rightfully

As a counterpoint, buses/railways are imo 100% an essential service for cities and yet they were running empty during the COVID-19 lockdown where I live. I would hate to see them recategorized as non-essential because of a situation th

First off, thank you for looking at the project and giving feedback - I really appreciate it! - Do all the consumers of gila config use the singleton class instance and just call gila.get() everywhere? You can either use the singleton patte

Yeah I had used django in the past and had run-ins with `django-configurations` and while it is an extremely powerful configuration library, I set out to make Gila a much more portable and simpler API for more generalized use - with the

I recently ran into a few roadblocks as well when trying to get my python applications set up in a true 12factor way, and I was surprised by how much I had begun to take for granted the ease of configuration that the Go library Viper provid

You're right - depriving people of choice can cause bad doctors to stick around longer because patients are forced to go to them. This is why we need something like single-payer - no one should be forced to go to a bad doctor because t

That's entirely fair - and I wasn't saying that choosing actix was a bad choice at the time for the users - but I also think that the people who were willing to contribute to Actix to make it safer are probably also the type of pe

We moved from postman to insomnia a year ago and have loved it due to its simplicity and ease of use. The ability to use the "environment" variables is amazingly flexible since you can use them in almost every text field.
