I'm not at all surprised about the response here. We are a community of people who love function over form (the perfect emblem being the purely functional design of our beloved HN). And in all honesty, my initial reaction was the same.

I already found it frustratingly ambiguous that there could be more than one Manchester in the US, then I checked and it turns out there are more than 30

Good job preserving the HN spirit! My only feedback is the gray text (#808080) on the dark gray background (#222222), has a contrast ratio of ~4:1 which some people may find difficult to read (and slightly below WCAG recommendation for regu

It seems like this is not simply about the decision of whether to allow http by default and security of dependencies. I'm not familiar with the surrounding politics and don't particularly want to be involved, but I appreciate the

I find it amusing that you use the example of Python 2 -> Python 3, a breaking change in a widely used language, that has famously been very difficult and long for organisations to deal with. Compare that with javascript which has never

Would you say linux is insecure because a user can download an arbitrary shell script and run it? I know it's not an identical problem, but it does demonstrate that we probably agree that the onus is on the user to assess the risk of a

This is really cool. Do you selectively render depending on the zoom level? (I looked for source but could only find the minified js on your github)

I'm surprised by the stark difference in density between some of the boroughs. E.g. Dalston has very few trees compared with Islington. Is that because of actual difference in density or difference in tracking between various councils?

Looks slick, great job on launching! Any possibility of a way to purchase outside of the AppStore? I appreciate this is extra effort for possibly little extra reach but I have managed to survive without signing into my icloud and hopefully

Interesting to see the comments suggesting that we should expect the NHS to pay if there is a problem that needs solving. It seems the implication is that labour should never be done voluntarily (even in a crisis situation) in a free econom

It's refreshing that the author acknowledges the nuances around tradeoffs of using, and not using, GraphQL. Having used REST (with swagger/openAPI), gRPC and now graphQL, the most painful thing has been the tribal militance from s

I'm surprised there's no mention of Kessler Syndrome[1]. Launching, possibly multiple, high volume satellite networks is worrisome to me. Is the increase in number of satellites negated by the reduced launch debris from using reus

I'm really surprised this works. Do you know if that's by design?
