    I'd argue Taylor Swift has done it too, and to a less mainstream degree Trent Reznor who has kept his career rolling along forever. A core audience who will buy what ever you sell …

    Unfortunately WebSQL was ahead of its time, I have no doubt it would have caught on more today with the resurgent popularity of SQLite. IndexedDB got to ride the NoSQL hype of the …

    It's not always about getting there "faster". I regularly encounter trucks with unsecured loads, drivers visibly weaving, and other dangerous situations. I'm certainly not going to…

    No, you ideally want all the jobs to be good. With the old model it was clear what the floor for getting something delivered was. Target could have instead adjusted order minimums …

    Ok, guess I'm out of the loop then, I thought they already allowed that

    No one is stopping you from still having a JSON API if your hypothetical use case requires it. The Accept header is there for a reason

    You're looking for a "seedbox" which is essentially the torrenting equivalent of a VPS

    I use tmux basically the same way but prefer tmux sessions because I find tabs hard to navigate reliably. With tmux I can assign a name to each session, list all sessions, and have…

    The argument about parsing twice doesn't seem very good to me. Vim and emacs are also parsing keystrokes, should we abandon them too? The cynic in me thinks it's more likely that b…

    Looks like you can bypass the lapis renderer and use ngx.print() and ngx.header() to control the response yourself Look under skip_render here: https://leafo.net/lapis/reference/ac…

    Yea maybe our definitions are just different, because I wouldn't call HN a social media site. It's a content aggregator to me, with some social features, like Reddit or Slashdot. L…

    Sorry wasn't meant as an attack, the algorithm based feeds of instagram and twitter are almost a decade old now, and I believe facebooks older. There are definitely people in the t…

    Maybe you're too young to remember or there's some sarcasm I'm missing, but that's literally how social media sites used to work. Content discovery was word of mouth or a separate …

    As opposed to what? Linux barely has functioning wifi, bluetooth, audio, and video, and Windows also has countless utilities to decrapify the OS. It's not specific to Mac just a di…
