Oh wow, TIL that Slack also started like that

You're thinking of Discord

It depends on the person, as a sample size of one I was on 5,000IU and my levels were still on the low end (almost still deficient), and my calcium levels were still safely on the …

As others have mentioned there already is the ".home.arpa" TLD but I definitely think ".internal" is a step up in terms of clarity. That said, for my internal network I just put th…

The logo isn't even just inspired by, it just outright is the NERV logo from Rebuild https://wiki.evageeks.org/Nerv_Logo

So it's basically the great tabs vs spaces debate again

>Isn’t there a word for when a lot of math and complexity and specific numbers with names imbue an article with some extra sense of being true or having authority? Quantitative fal…

My problem with shower thoughts is often I have too many and it's a struggle to hold on to them all until the end of the shower so I can actually write them down

https://github.com/google/mundane/blob/master/DESIGN.md was where I first learned about how useful opaque types can be for ensuring the type system does the heavy lifting

Generally yes, although I definitely wish the initial load was speedier the better looks and "flow" are worth it imo. I usually browse Reddit using Relay and look at my saved posts…

I still think that first-class support for PWAs will be a more promising alternative to Electron

Probably https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14964006 I remember seeing this comparison and finding it quite profound as well.

There are definite a lot of advantages to building with web technologies, it's just that Electron is an excessively heavy way of enabling it since it basically just gives you a web…

I still think that the majority of Electron apps can and should just be PWAs. Most like Discord pretty much just wrap their webapp anyway.

I've found myself preferring type guards for checking action type, since it avoids you having to have keep one big `Actions` union around that takes X amount of lines and really do…

HTML makes perfect sense, as another poster said. I've also found Authorea[1] to be pretty promising. [1] https://www.authorea.com/

Off topic, this reminded me how much I hate how pdfs are the standard for papers.

I was surprised at just how comically angry people were over this. I can kind of understand their arguments against a trend of being too change-happy and over-correcting, but these…

Inbox has got to be the single most useful productivity tool for me. Pinning, bundling, and snoozing just make managing emails so quick and efficient since you can easily triage an…

Phyles primarily based on shared values honestly seem more sensible than nation-states primarily based on geography (although of course these may overlap). The latter often seems t…

Google to me seems like a case of natural monopoly[1]. Competition in this market is stifled by the amount of investment and infrastructure needed to make a good search engine. [1]…

Honestly, I think that decentralized networks are able to leverage advantages of centralization, like trust, while remaining decentralized enough to still have the advantages from …

`if-else` for this will get messy quickly the more layers down you want to go. if a is not None and a.b is not None: c = a.b.c else: c = None vs c = a?.b?.c The safe navigation ope…
