About pwdisswordfish0

The HN rules still apply.

Please do not be disrespectful toward others.

Separate the commenter from the comment.

Smart commenters still make dumb comments now and then. And vice versa.

Consequently, the "identity" of the commenter is not a reliable predictor of the quality of the comment.

Shared accounts such as this one can address this problem.

Each comment must stand on its own, apart from identity and historical karma.

    Two questions: 1. What can you point to that explains or even suggests that repos "should [...] be findable" directly on codeberg.org and for "people browsing [it] and pages within…

    I sometimes fear I shouldn’t play driving games too much, so that I don’t get desensitised against those intrusive thoughts I sometimes get on the road. I wonder how irrational tha…

    Sorry, try again. That's not how proof-by-contradiction works. > This is 100% true. It literally is not, unless you think 100% means "less than 100%".

    This is not really true. Chrome's extensions to the Web platform comprising its Page Lifecycle APIs are coherent, well-reasoned, and valuable/inoffensive, yet other browsers have n…

    Mozilla has been behaving the way it's been heaving lately for the last 10 years.

    Only if you disregard the amount of latitude that the semantics of these headers give to UAs that would effectively thwart this method of tracking. If I fetch your /foo.html today …

    Would you be open to using an apostrophe ’ in your header instead of the straight single quote? I dig the Comic Sans, but it would look so much better. Cheers lol

    Well, sure, the value of an input is in its value property, but you build your stuff in such a way that you don’t access it unless you absolutely have to.

    There is no client-side state, that’s the whole point.

    Here's an excellent series where in a 2003 interview, Anders Hejlsberg discusses lots of these types of things and more. https://www.artima.com/intv/anders.html >
