Insurance is always up to a certain amount. In the Netherlands the government-provided insurance insures up to €100k per account holder. People would have a problem if they already…

Hi, great that you looked at it, unfortunately it doesn't work for me yet. I made a video. Good examples are at 3 seconds in (video starts playing) and 16 seconds in (I end up at t…

Just wanted to let you know that the qbix.com website navigation doesn't work, at least for me on mobile Firefox. Clicks sometimes open the submenu, but usually not. Clicks on the …

Apparently *.run.app domains are using something called Google Hosted, and that is how a Google 404 page came up.

The previous submission has some interesting discussions as to what behaviour might lead to this situation: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37403566

The connection to the update server must be secured, but it might not be using SSL the way connections to websites normally do. Perhaps the local install has not been updated in a …

> Everything should be a drop-in replacement It isn't at all, in my opinion. Consider the introduction of the module system, for example. Some libraries moved out of the core langu…

I don't understand why it is implied that Java is slow. A running JVM is not slow. A "monstrosity" as you put it could have been written in any language.

I do think that you are overthinking it. That mouse is not shaped to the right hand. There is no reason to assign significance to it in my opinion.

I always look at adages like these as something to keep in mind for the future. We can choose the simplest thing now and make it easy to swap it out for the more correct and more t…

I think we can't avoid all difficulty, and the difficulty then becomes determining exactly which bits we do need. But it is a nice counter to some people's decisions to go for over…

URL navigation has been mentioned before, but I want to go in to a bit more detail. This application needs client-side navigation. That is a two-way system. When a different object…

Do you mean a script like Lontara? That would be interesting indeed. I am interested in Lontara and Bugis resources in general, if someone has something they would like to share.

Perhaps people should kept at a distance. It happened before with a ball of his: https://hyperallergic.com/436913/jeff-koons-gazing-ball-dest...

If we agree that it isn't alive, then what do people mean when they talk about it "escaping"? If we continue your virus analogy then we probably agree that the virus has been relea…
