If calling half of your opponents supporters bigots while simultaneously giving the bigots the marketing opportunity of a lifetime isn't a massive campaign problem, then what is? I…

Yup - I just recently learned this lesson the hard way with Turso's LibSQL server. While some of the features (like s3 replication) are cool and interesting, the amount of time wor…

> People by and large do not want "solid, modern, coherent plans". Surely a mother-knows-best attitude will work. > Both kamala and hillary clinton had those. Surely denying massiv…

YMMV, but I would argue that claiming Trump is waging an unprecedented attack against the first amendment, accompanied by a picture of the first amendment ripped in half, is callin…

What Brian and a lot of the commenters here need to realize is that online outrage does not help progressive causes in the slightest. While the examples in his article are valid & …

Calling young people stupid and idiots is a very poor way to get this point across, even if it's meant in an endearing way (which I'm suspicious of). This cynicism is also entirely…

This is the case for non-neurodivergent people too. Large companies these days are, largely, an exercise in corporate politics rather than solving technical problems.

This hits very close to home and I'm very glad to see I am (and you are) not alone. Thank you for writing it. I'm currently in the process of leaving my "big tech" job. While I won…

IME a lot of the pain comes from picking the wrong tool for the layer. By that I mean saying everything has to be a JS framework or everything has to be server-delivered-HTML. For …

It was very disappointing to see Svelte 5 go the way of React. Yes, yes, I understand that it theoretically simplifies things and yadda yadda yadda, but after trying to actually us…

Been really enjoying the author's YouTube content lately, even though I'm not too experienced in reverse engineering.

Yep! You're right, it does have the ability to bundle -- that's my bad. Rollup is just much better at bundling for production, just like TinyGo. Similarly, esbuild is better for de…

In practice, I've very rarely seen a downside: I compare it to something like Vite, where it uses esbuild in development and rollup in production, because the two libraries are for…

My struggle with Make and bash is that they're not very expressive - maybe that's something we want in our CIs, but I've always preferred writing an actual program in that program'…

My company is currently adopting this and I don't see the appeal yet - likely from a lack of knowing much about it. I added it to a side project just to get familiar and it added q…

>>I don’t want to end up on Hacker News again bitching about Catalina. Hahaha

I'm not claiming that Netflix and other services shouldn't help out the ISPs, because you're right that WFH > Netflix, but if they can't deliver what their customers paid for, they…

I don't mean to strawman but are you saying luxury businesses should be able to get away with not delivering on what their customers pay for because we are in an unexpected situati…

>Even a website operator, with direct access to the database, can’t see who is the owner of your salary entry. I'm curious about this given you can update/delete your salary entry …

This is the first comment to make me laugh on Hacker News in quite a while.

function isPasswordValid(pass){ //There's no way in hell they figured it out. return false; }

Perhaps this is a bit immature of me, but I despise Ryver for their ads that they put on Twitter a few months (a year?) back where it was completely trying to discredit Slack while…

It mostly depends on if you're a target. I must have missed when Slack was compromised, but I'm willing to take the risk of Slack being hacked, as I'm not a target. Im a fan of the…

Really depends on if you're a target yourself. If someone is trying to target you specifically, use Slack as it's much harder. If you're not a target and are worried about Slack in…

and what about if your network is compromised? For most small-medium businesses, that's more likely than Slack being compromised.
