This kind of response is rude and unhelpful. This is how they are finding it out. Just googling "X vs Y" invariably gives you worthless SEO spam these days. A forum like HN, where …

Render's free DB tier isn't really usable when the data gets nuked after 90 days. Really strange decision IMO.

It's also emphasized in the onboarding materials which is probably more impactful than an internal policy page.

Not to shame the author--I'm glad when people share the stories--but the thing that surprised me is that the author knew the "hang up and call the number on your card" advice but d…

Since a good bit before 2014, even. They used to recruit very heavily from MIT (while Palantir was overrepresented at Stanford and Quora at Harvard--all of these reflecting the alm…

Yes, this is scam prevention 101. Anyone who called you is always unverified. It's hard for me to take seriously a "scam prevention expert" who doesn't seem to know or follow this …

This honestly looks perfectly reasonable to me. It's obviously far harder than the SAT math section (which isn't saying much since SAT math is a bit of a joke), but the questions l…

I already said why in my first comment: > Why would you want to do this? Well, what about layout? And what if you have a component that wraps or otherwise behaves like an HTML elem…

On the other hand, I find Svelte's handling of this half-baked, as there's no way to pass scoped classes to a component, only to a HTML element. [1] In fact, I find this so frustra…

Inertia [1] is an interesting project in this space that might solve some of your problems. I haven't used it, but I believe the general goal is to make it easy to "plug in" client…

Probably the equivalent would be a custom store, something like this: import { writable } from "svelte/store"; function autoCounter(interval, initialValue = 0) { let { subscribe, u…

>Having used Solidjs for some pet projects, I've come to strongly prefer Solidjs over React. It's an evolution of react, so I've found my existing skills/knowledge transfers. This …

>In React, we render lists by using regular JavaScript idioms like loops, arrays, and array methods like map. However in Solid.js, much like traditional templating languages, we ge…

>One more factor in Wordle's popularity that I haven't yet seen commentators identify much. The game's word roster tilts heavily toward words with neutral or cheerful connotations.…

Yep, these are used extensively at Google (which is where the abseil library came from, and which is famously anti-cpp-exceptions) and they work very well. If I somehow found mysel…
