This is nonsense, it’s obvious what type of safety OP meant. I have no idea what could be irresponsible about not including contrived, ridiculous scenarios. It’s like saying he also should have accounted for the possibility fairies will tur

Those tend to fall out of the “active use” category not long after entering it, so it’s probably not a big factor. On a more serious note, had there been something special about SQLite supporting military use of their project that prompted

As a 20%er who worked on this it’s a bit discouraging to see such a shallow dismissal. A lot of people put in a lot of work as a passion project to keep matrix from just disappearing. Can’t win em all I guess.

Very impressive. One cool thing you can further do to improve perceived speed potentially at the expense of some bandwidth is to begin to preload pages when a link is hovered. There are a couple of libraries that will do this for you. It ca

Not to mention every comment dpower has made is on a post related to Hiri. Maybe HN should just explicitly allow and tag accounts made to promote a company. It makes sense that people who create products want to talk about them, and they ca

Don't take this as me wanting it to happen, but what would it take for the decision to be made to kill these monkeys, and who would make it? Is there a state or federal agency that's ever determined an animal to be a threat to peo

This is common, or at least, I've definitely had my parents do this for me, and I know my friends have too. The logic is as follows: I need to be up early, my parents always get up early, and my alarm almost always works. If I have bot

I briefly had an Echo, and one thing my friends and I found funny was to have it play some annoying song, and then call out "Alexa, volume 10" because once it got that loud, the only way to make it stop was to go over and manually

Is there any requirement in the law that the women on the board actually do anything other than be a member of it? Would anything stop a woman from offering to sit on your board and pinky promise not to vote for $1k a year? Someone could do

Clicking the link to the HTML version of the book takes you to a page that makes you tweet (and grants some pretty far reaching twitter permissions) to read the book. If you click to the chapters folder and then on the individual .asciidoc

It might be better to just call it version control for application states, rather than saying a "git-like CLI" for application states. When I hear "git-like CLI" I interpret that as "hard to use" and "conf
