    Here's something I sometimes tell people: Contentment comes when "the way you want it" and "the way it is" overlap enough -- but sometimes in life, you can really only change one o…

    Ask HN: If global variables are bad, why are JavaScript data stores okay?

    By "stores" I mean things like Redux, Vuex, ngRx. I've been using Vuex for a while now, and haven't had any major problems (yet), so, instinctively, based on experience, I feel lik…

    This article would have been significantly easier to comprehend if the author had given the tradeoffs names instead of constantly referring to them by "first", "second", and "third…

    > If you also take a look at the tests than never fail, you will also have a sense of the bugs you should not write. Just checking: Did you mean "the tests you should not write"?

    (I'm not OP) Zulip is good in theory, but I had two problems with it: 1) they had no [simple] means to install it on an existing server (VPS, what-have-you). It assumed (required!)…

    I like what Zulip tries to be in theory (the "topics" feature is really great), but there are two knocks against it, in my opinion: 1. They do not support self-hosting the code on …

    I'm hardly a Slack fan, but, in fairness, I've never considered Slack to be slow or resource intensive. Either the web UI or the (OSX) desktop app. Or are you referring to audio ca…

    > no point running STUN an TURN on the same server as Nextcloud I just prefer to self-host as much as possible.

    Yep, you're right. My mistake. But we've been touch by other means.

    I'm using coturn for TURN and STUN, and they are on the same VPS that hosts the Nextcloud code, version 13. If you actually want to help me solve the problems, send me a DM on gith…

    In my experience, Nextcloud's file sharing features are great, working as expected. We use it mainly to share large files with business contacts, both directions. I haven't tried t…

    Anecdata point: I had a lot of trouble setting up Nextcloud Talk with my own STUN & TURN servers. Even after I'd gotten that going, NCT video calls have been extremely unreliable, …

    I get the point of this, but me personally, I prefer to have aspects of me forgotten/gone rather than remembered, stored and searchable in the future. Yes, it's true that, about on…

    I can't imagine writing a real-world Vue app without Vuex. As such, I can't help feeling like this article, despite the best of intentions, is probably misrepresenting things. The …

    I'm a little amazed at all the reports of problems in the comments here on HN. I have been using Synergy for probably 15 years now, and have had very little issue with it. I use it…

    Maybe my needs are much more modest than that of the average user, but, as a matter of fact, I do get by without using extensions from the Google Chrome store which are not open so…

    I don't per se "hang out" anywhere online. Most of my musical activities are engaged in within meatspace. At most, I might share the occasional recording on social networks. I've p…

    I'm just another data point, but, in my case, the honest truth is that I deliberately avoided a career in music because I thought that it would be too hard and/or risky to make muc…
