Cute game. A lot more forgiving than Marble Madness though. Needs a good enemy marble to come crack you and hammers too.

Incremental builds exist, so you'd really only have to build once: https://nextjs.org/docs/pages/building-your-application/data... That said, personally, I love PG and enjoy using a DB. But I can see pro

It really makes sense though. I don't think it's because they don't go to therapy though. Look at the five levels they provide: * Every day * 5–6 times per week * 3–4 times per week * 1–2 times per week * Less than weekly Mo

Seconded. I got awesome results in making "artwork in the style of Yoshitaka Amano" in DALLE but horrible ones in Stable Diffusion. Maybe the prompt was incorrect there (it would be great if these were more discoverable), but they

Maybe technical customers who knew it were Electron. I knew, and don't really care. My wife doesn't even know what Electron is- everything is just another app to her.

Looking forward to checking some of these frameworks out. Question- Curious to know what backends / languages would be the fastest for a REST-based PostgreSQL backed API?

I like it. It's easier to read across short lines quickly versus too long. That being said, you could probably get away with a little bit longer.

They also said they've reimbursed all funds. So if you were hacked personally, you would be out money here, vs keeping it on their exchange where you would be made whole again.

I suggest you read this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_End_of_Policing which goes into great detail many different times where police abuse power, and why things need to change.

How does it compare in terms of performance to https://github.com/jsonapi-serializer/jsonapi-serializer (a fork of Fast JSON API out of Netflix, which wasn't being maintained)?

The creator of Svelte (Rich Harris) works for the NYT. If you ask him, I'd venture to guess he wouldn't say it's an "experiment" as they regularly use it. I doubt his frontend work there is alone too, so I'd gu

Yes, it's very much in beta! And if that's a concern for you, then I'd stick with Sapper or Elder.js or another. That said, I think the replies covered the concern pretty well. For me, I don't really have any concerns wi

I built https://www.listenaddict.com/ with Sapper. It was a good experience. That said, all of my other apps are using Kit, and I'm finding that experience even nicer. What did you find unappealing about Kit?

SvelteKit uses Vite under the hood. Also, as it uses Vite, it's generally faster than React/Vue. Not sure that's really contested.

I upvoted it because: 1. HN, in my experience, is an extension of ycombinator. Since it's this guy's entrepreneurial thing, I think that's relevant. 2. I'm interested in Rust, though I've never used it. 3. I'm

I'd suggest checking out Flutter if you're doing mobile dev (or at least Android). It makes styling ridiculously easy.

Anecdotally, I haven't bought a single CD since the Sony rootkit fiasco. I had bought one, got rootkit'd at the time, and vowed not to buy another. I don't regret not buying any more.
