Is the web dying? Only in red-eyed-hipstazz dreams.

I meant that website is probably valid but ugly, and HN page is vice versa.

If it's true, then in this case that's literally shouting "I don't give a slightest finger about my users, I'll toss them an autogenerated pile of markup and will not even test if …

Except that most pastebins would at least make the text more readable than it is there. Especially on mobiles. Markdown with Strapdown inclusion, a pastebin, a CMS, bare Bootstrap.…

Speaking of React/Angular - they are obsessed because they never used 10-years-old computers and slow Internet connection and don't actually know how users feel when their weak mac…

You are obviously trying to do some appeal to authority, which doesn't work on me. No one is an authority for me. > This is the website of John Walker, cofounder of Autodesk If he'…

Looked. So what? There's a difference between "ugly" and "invalid". Both cases are bad but the first one has much more impact on end users. Edit to answer "how is it invalid": is t…

Did you just register to say that? Hilarious. I'd always laughed at "developers" that can't even arrange their own websites properly and still try to educate us about what's accept…

A wrapper over something like this... git clone https://[repo]/[module].git node_modules/[module] ...and ability to provide dependency resolution along with custom runscripts? Yes,…

Why not use location.hash and URL shortener? That way no upload is needed.

I personally had used WoSign several times: https://buy.wosign.com/free/ Besides Chinese origin of this CA, haven't found any caveats so far. Free is better than cheap (at least in…

When I opened the page, I honestly thought CSS failed to load. But then I looked at the first line of the page source: I think they really shouldn't tell us what is now an acceptab…

In JS we can rely on the Date.getDay prototype. Here's the ES6 flavour: weekDay = (dateObj) => ['Sunday','Monday','Tuesday','Wednesday','Thursday','Friday','Saturday'][dateObj.getD…

14 lines in JS? O'rly? Even with such a strict check of the padding character length (with an exception) and a period by default it's a four-liner at most. leftPad = (str, len, pd …

> If something has had enough downvotes to go invisible it's nearly always because offensive, smartass, or spam. Why does someone has more right than me to decide what's offensive,…

So again, is this Hacker News or Karma-Jerkin-Conformist News? It seems that in order to "earn" that "ability" one has to praise Lisp, Rust and Haskell and publicly hate JS. Isn't …

Upvoted just to keep the thread and go against "elitist" hivemind.

I honestly think the entire idea of downvoting available only for selected users creates a mass conciousness manipulation tool. When some "authority" decides what's good and what's…

Actually, there are several immutable FS-over-tinyURL projects. I have created some of them too. A real problem with Twitter is that you can get banned quickly for doing this.

Why not just use anonymous gists in conjunction with RawGit CDN? Unique IDs, no way to change or delete (since the gists are anonymous), served right out-of-the-box with a proper c…

See: isPositive = (x) => +x === x && x > 0 In which conditions does it return a wrong value? I haven't found any.

Sure, because just writing isPositive = (x) => +x === x && x > 0 is boring. Need more requires to require the requires... Keep in mind though that absolutely not all JS programmers…

In Ukraine, Fidobank offers "Shtuka" (Штука, translated as "piece" or in jargon "thousand") debit cards that are attached to MoneXY account that is in turn attached to mobile numbe…

I may sound old but one can start with just backing up node_modules/ directory. If third party modules are hosted on GitHub, you can fork them.
