I love browsing Hacker News by new.

It might be worth mentioning that Khan Academy's main CS course has been based on an in-browser Processing.js environment, since even before P5 existed.

What gives you the impression this would be costly? It should fit easily in a FaunaDB free plan, with Netlify or Vercel (also free) for serverless functions if you need logic.

When you're doing cross-platform development like this for the web, you're going to have a "least common denominator" that you have to design for. Safari is that least common denom…

Sorry, I went to make a search without the extension installed (because I did try) and I got hit with a full screen error message saying I needed to install the extension. My mista…

In my opinion, the fact that all your extension does is change the setting is worse, not better. It's purely a user-hostile choice.

> Discord is nearly infinitely better in the sense that they have any tooling at all, but it's still considerably far behind Could you expand on this a bit? A lot of this thread se…

From the article: > That’s extremely similar to the MacBook Pro and Monterey issues I’ve read this week—except I’m still running Big Sur.

Is there a source for Jekyll being no longer maintained? Jekyll might not be in active development anymore, but I’d rather use something that’s finished than something like VitePre…

Go for a while only reading, not commenting, and make up your mind.

Are you affiliated with rsync.net, competing with BackBlaze? Is the major difference with rsync.net that they charge per GB?

I’m very impressed with what you’ve discussed here. I think there’s a real market for no-code website builders that are user-friendly. How do you justify charging $144/year for a s…

Is it possible to do anything? A bit of a rough on boarding experience if I can’t see anything and can’t move or touch anything.

Yeah. As I understand it, since all Apple mobile browsers use the WebKit engine, there’s nothing this demo can use to separate them. This demo doesn’t mention cookies. screen size,…

I'm not against "copying" code. I just looked up "python build url query" The first link describes the `urllib.parse. urlencode` function which takes a dict. So I would build the q…

Everything posted on HackerNews has an agenda.

Would that really be such a bad thing? I don’t imagine HN sees much traffic from search.

I think there's a difference between "depend on" and "use." Most everyone that currently has an iPhone or Android is going to use those features. But for every Youtube video that I…

Vivaldi adds a new sponsor bookmark around every six months.

If I’m reading your table correctly, you say Linode’s VPS plans start at $10/mo, but they’re actually $5/mo. Is this meta-data, the stuff outside the rankings, hand-entered?

I'd argue the example given in the article is bad not because it doesn't repeat itself, but because it only concats strings. Using more advanced language features, or perhaps a ORM…

People are being cautious, that's all. It's easier to brute-force a password with a hash and a salt than it is to do without them. People were saying "reset your password" as soon …

I don’t agree with a lot of this article. I think the font looks excellent, I appreciate coherencies across a brand’s design, and most of all, I think the purpose of a score indica…
