    They don't actually need a quick turnaround on the Quest Pro 2, as the Apple headset is launching next year. Apple has given them plenty of warning, they have runway to comprehensi…

    I don't think there's a person I've asked who prefers the modern web over the way it was 10 years ago. All we've done is create a bunch of busywork that results in a cushion class …

    You've been here since 2014. How much value have you derived from this code? How long would it take you to write it? https://news.ycombinator.com/hn.js

    With H/3, modern frameworks have become unnecessary deviations from web standards that result in high costs and lower app lifetimes. Do standard server side work, don’t use node as…

    Vultr is amazing on price/performance. I use it as a lab cloud, and for my more fun (or Windows) workloads. You slightly sacrifice reliability, but you get interesting options incl…

    Office Open XML (docx), to be fair, is a non-proprietary standard. Microsoft has been forced into that by the EU; and they keep messing with it, but it is actually technically "ope…
