    I remember when hand-drawn web design was highly trendy back in 2009-2013, and many of them would be featured on awwwards.com. They were beautiful.

    I have no idea. All I can say is that the paper overwhelmingly uses the term "senolytic", which means to "kill off the senescent" (I'm assuming that it refers to senescent cells), …

    Senescent cells themselves do not exist to prevent tumor growth. Cells becoming senescent is a mechanism that exists to prevent them from becoming a possible tumor, due to DNA dama…

    Same, but I go a step beyond. Any tweet I see that I don't like (usually someone using a tone that gives me a terrible vibe from them), I block the author of the tweet. Now almost …

    I could almost swear that you can even create a class-D amplifier with the ATTiny85, with a clock rate of ~15kHz. Obviously it's not going to be ideal for an audiophile, but the qu…

    I'm not sure if you are generally lamenting about people's sensitivities, or you are just dismissing jokes about firing as "not a big deal", and that "people should get over it". L…

    I just got a recruiter email today from them, yesterday. They are claiming that they are growing their engineering team.

    Interesting to hear about " I'm naive, and I'm curious to know where I can read more about that. Edit: OK, now I get it. Equality/inequality verification is undecidable for irratio…

    I don't know about in the US, but in Canada, I used to work at Forever 21—a California-based retail chain—and you are required to go through a pat-down right before you leave the s…

    Ask HN: What are your average per-customer cost for your SaaS product?

    This includes hosting, and labor. I'm trying to figure out what is the least amount I can charge my customers, so that my product does not fall below a threshold that leaves it cas…

    Still not a valid reason for seizing an entire property, selling it, and pocketing the profit. At least threaten the guy with fines if he does not fix things up.

    It can potentially break things. There are legacy code that assume that calling `readdir` will yield undefined, and will have just passed that result to a function, that alters its…

    I might be wrong, but I think it has something to do with applications themselves explicitly looking for key combinations that involve the ctrl key. So no matter how much Pantheon …

    There is a well-understood math behind it. For blur, you can either do two things: - generate a matrix such that each element in the matrix is equal to 1 (e.g. averaging) - generat…

    I'm currently using a "TypeScript loader" for either Webpack or Browserify. If that seems too much, the other option is to output the compiled code as AMD modules [1]. But I have n…

    Thanks. I will definitely keep a close eye on your service. Here's hoping it comes soon to non-US bank accounts.

    What countries do you have support for? I'm working for a Canadian fintech startup that would truly benefit from a service like yours.

    I'm guessing it's their use of React both on the front-end and back-end.

    And also, I might point out, from an earlier comment that I posted; the BPG decoder is merely a polyfill. If we rejected every feature that began as mere half-baked polyfills, we w…

    Videos--more specifically mp4 videos-- can be embedded into web pages. They just don't autoplay on mobile browsers. Hence why there is a push for alternatives to Gif/APNG and mp4/w…
