For me (and I suspect a few other people working with react, but certainly not everyone), the main issue with hooks is exactly that class components were fine, and hooks are fine, …

Linkedin has also been doing this for years - tens upon tens of different "communication preference" options. They keep adding more, or renaming existing ones and defaulting them t…

Yeah, highly marginalized people have historicaly been well accepted in excisting support groups, particularly religious and local political ones.

Don't check this checkbox if you want to miss out on not getting amazing promotional emails, great poems and the occasional bobcat.

For 1% of the users opting out of telemetry. And anonymized. And also the data not being telemetry related. Technicaly correct, but pretending that this is mozilla going against th…

Ahem - never thought I'd see a link on hackernews glorifying hoarding (the economics type), but here here are. "Imagine a particular bag of grain that you bought at T1 for 200 fran…
