I read somewhere that Hacker News should have been named Startup News, and sometimes interactions like the one upthread reminds me of that. I'm not saying it's wrong - if you're good at something don't do it for free and

That's gross misrepresentation. He wrote _lots_ of helpful educational articles on zig that painted it in a good light. I would know because I learned a great deal from his posts when I started with zig. Recently he posted a grand tota

Husky (android app) does support multi-account. I'm using it right now. I imagine there should be something equivalent for ios. It's not rocket science.

> I didn't get a larger monitor just so that everything can waste more space with giant text. That's what the outer min() is for: it makes sure the font size caps out at 1.3em which usually translates to 16 x 1.3 = 20.8px, whic

I would only use this kind of thing on the root element, then size all other elements relative to the root element e.g. h1 { font-size: 1.5rem; }. It's more manageable that way IMHO. Thanks for the tip on clamp() by the way, TIL.

I've always liked ExoticSilicon's design, but not until this post did I realize their smart bit of CSS for default font size: font-size: min(max(1em, 1.3vw), 1.3em); Which explains why it looks just right on my high-DPI Chr

Go's io/fs[0] design is one of the more successful ideas inspired by Plan 9 imho. If we can't have a 9p-centric OS, the next best thing is a 9p-like interface in a language's standard library. For example, I have been de

For python we've been using poetry[1] at work. Dep resolution is a bit slow but otherwise it works well enough, definitely a saner choice than pulling in a completely different stack just for one tool. [1]: https://poetry.eu

(I already posted this reply on his blog, but seems like it has been deleted along with a bunch of other disagreeing comments there) What if you want to add a new element at the top? And even when you need to add it at the end, if you use a
