Is this new? A freind's BMW i3 had one of these many years ago. (Defnitely pre covid) edit: the frist generation was 2013

Not sure if electron is the issue, I believe vscode is based on it (I may be mistaken). Really wish they would sort Teams out. I like the concepts and product, but when in a video …

I skim most Show HN posts and think "that's cool", but never look at it again. Seeing this, I thought that's cool and it's something I really want to start using! Thanks!

> I've reconsidered. It's really insulting. In the most objective way possible, if I was a FOSS author, I'd find this comment insulting Pour a beer down your sink for every dev who…

Yep exactly this. We've gotten into messes before when people are working on - or think they are - the same branch. Some os think they are the same, others different. Also just fin…

Just want to throw a small one in there: branch names are all lower case. Prevents strange issues when you use a case insensitive file system like on OSX or Windows

I never had strong feelings about systemd, and the first time I used it I did prefer the service files to sysvinit scripts. The real wow moment came when discovering socket activat…

$ErrorActionPreference = "Stop" At the top of the script is the closest I fount to `set -e`

Some of these strips are far too close to home to be funny

Not OP, but during a recent hiring process we asked for backend engineers (e.g. java/golang/databases etc). Half of the CVs we received were for Angular/React developers. I'm unsur…

I knew the design looked familiar. If anyone uses Solr, this does the same for its debug output https://explain.solr.pl/

I've just compared TablePlus to PGAdmin (the new web one), on a fast query which returns 1000 rows. The responsiveness of TP is really noticable

> There usually is a tradeoff when something is forced into something alien. Exactly! My thoughts whenever I see people using nosql databases.

That's most of the internet for me (off black text on off white backgrounds). Firefox reader mode is my saviour.

Hopefully they're learning this lesson. I can just see it now. A company's app is dying from all the timeouts to a slack webhook, however they can't deploy because slack is down.

Spare a thought for the chatops crowd who may be blissfully unaware that their own infrastructure is down

They are useful if you only use them for simple things. Any queries which are non-trivial or aren't cleanly expressed in your object model can lead to absolutely monstrous queries.…

I remember watching the "screencasts" (they were gifs back in those days), of Nat working on Beagle [1]. Sadly it's a dead project now, however, it shaped my attitude as a develope…

I for one am quite happy about this. Github innovation seems to have stalled, now with Nat/Scott Gu at the helm there could be exciting times to come.

Being able to say "ok google, take me to a gas* station" without having to touch my phone whilst driving. * I'm English, and we tend to say "petrol station", sadly even Google's AI…

I've used this in the past https://github.com/codelucas/newspaper There is also a wrapper to expose it as a rest api. Looks like it is not maintained, but easy enough to write your…

I read Programming Elixir in a weekend(ish) including doing most of the exercises. Was quite eye-opening to the world of functional concurrency.

To keep up to date with the latest Javascript frameworks

Slightly off topic, but.... > Find a way to say "yes", which satisfies their need to hear you say "yes" This is the best skill to train if you're going to be working with enterpris…

A mishmash of stuff I have copied from various public "dotfiles" repos. Quite a few gems in here: https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles
