For someone to arrived late to the party, what’s better / simpler when using classes?

This is very neat. One question, would you consider making a version of your service that works like discourse.org? I don’t mean changing the discussion software to match theirs, I mean allowing clients to embed your software in their page.

It makes sense. It’s ridiculous to have to subscribe to individual news websites when there are so many; an intermediary that did deals with publishers wouldn’t be a bad idea.

Bypass paywalls would be kind of a big deal imo. It could eventually shape how we use the internet and move away from ad based revenue.

Yes, definitely. Have had terrible burnouts in the past, to the point of not being able to code at all. Recovery is long, and these days I will burn out more quickly if I’m in a stressful situation, but I’ve also made changes so that I am n

Well, there are mastodon servers which are like that. But in reality, being open and socially curated should be good enough. Making the site invite only doesn’t preclude its eventual decadence, nor endure that you get the best user base.

I would love if indiehackers could help fill this niche. Since it is aimed at people trying to launch products, pragmatism should reign, but there are things about the presentation and site policy that would seem to hold it back for this us

Only naive people who will get preyed upon. It’s a disaster waiting to happen.

If by keymap you are referring to default key bindings then it’s extremely similar. I’ll definitely be giving it a whirl.

What does that mean, preventing stress adaptations? Does it mean that the body wouldn’t get stronger in training ?

A critical variable here is the size of the frontpage. Perhaps people tend to assume that the size of the front page reflects the volume of posts that deserve attention. Maybe front page size should be configurable; someone could make a bro

Perhaps you’re not a team player? (This is aimed at programmers) Being a programmer is hard in that respect. There are many professions and positions where the individual has much more autonomy over their part. A typical setup in a small co

More webgl / three.js. There seems to be a lot to learn. Starting to look into shaders. It’s hard because my math sucks and alot of it is maths, albeit basic matrix calculations and geometry.

Proponents of fasting will love this, since the idea is that not eating for a while will cause the body to scavenge for this old / damaged cell material.

Code interview practical exercises. Ive been asked to do them maybe 6-10 times. Each time I completed the test to a high standard and got rejected for other random reasons. Once I spend a day writing a PostgreSQL extension in C to shuttle d

This is moving fast ! Obviously, it’s going to be an incredible boon for content creation. I suppose that in the future it’ll make creating videos an order of magnitude easier, which will allow a single person or a small team to make a high

I’m not the type to self promote much, plus, a lot of bad experiences in the industry (due to maverick type behavior), so filling out profiles seems like a waste of time. But, I’ll have to come out of hiding soon enough, have spent the last

It feels vaguely on topic for me to speak about something that happened to me regarding an open source project I made. It was the one time that a project of mine generated a bit of buzz on HN. But I hadn’t posted it myself, someone else did

If they have a machine which is good at identifying suspicious information, on a huge scale, they may also be able to control which information is suspicious, to a limited extent. It could easily be part of an effective apparatus of repress

“If US Government ever make applications for Ethereum, it means I’ve won.” Vitalik Buterin, probably.

No, the validators are anyone with a stake in the system, not just the Ethereum foundation and friends.

For anyone who might be concerned by the claim here; it’s really a political argument and not a technical one. Proof of stake as implemented by Ethereum makes a tradeoff which requires some small amount of trust (to identify the correct cha
