I've tried loading on Chromium but that doesn't work either it seems.

Out of interest: what sort of troubles has it given? (if you're able to say)

I feel like for GTK, there just aren't a lot of resources out there for it. And that links into the fact that GTK is only really used on GNU/Linux which represents an incredibly sm…

Wouldn't surprise me too much. With the amount of failures they've had (Google Stadia immediately springs to mind, as well as Google+).

I actually used to hack on vanilla Emacs but then I switched to Doom Emacs. Why? Because, like many others, although I am interested in configuring my editor, I am also interested …

> Github CoPilot? Great, now I have to perform the most mentally taxing part of developing software, namely understanding other people's code (or my own from 6 months ago...) while…

> but as I understand they are under regulations that prohibit them from dropping your connection when e.g. they find you visiting ycombinatior.com Was that a problem before?

It just feels like a lot of the internet simply isn't designed for RSS anymore. A lot of people forget it still exists, or think that it died out ages ago. I remember the YouTuber …

In the reply though he said: > Pundits always say that this is going to kill the old businesses - eventually that happens but not anywhere near as soon as they say. So to me maybe …

So then what if the bank is not convinced that the two signatures match? What about people like op whose signature is inconsistent?

I always wonder how these people don't feel embarrassed when their phone starts blasting out sound on a relatively quiet bus/train. I know some people would immediately mute their …

Its how a website should be in my opinion. The only real complaint you could have with Hacker News is that maybe the font is too small but you can just fix that by using the zoom f…

Yeah a good few years ago, before I had learnt about frameworks like React, I used JQuery for one of my projects. Once I learned about React, I decided to rewrite this project usin…

I think Nintendo already did something similar with games like AC Odyssey (and probably others) though they never did it in the western market to my recollection. However it might …

To be honest I was expecting to read an article about the popularity of Lisp, and how it compares to Rust.

Indeed. They even provide a mailing list you can subscribe to which will notify you whenever an article goes free. I think you need to have an account with them firstly though.

I feel the need to offer anecdotal to such a subject though I realize this perhaps does not carry the same weight as scientific studies yet I think it is still important. A few mon…

I can only speak for my own education (in the UK) where free speech wasn't really drilled into me as a valuable right, and as such I can understand why people don't understand its …

Not disputing what you are saying but I think the problem is also Nintendo here. Other companies love it when their players make projects like this with their work, and I've heard …

Its interesting to compare ISPs from my country: the UK. Here, we have a decent selection of ISPs, and the industry is tightly regulated by OFCOM. I believe the network that most I…

I feel like a significant part of learning a new language is also learning the standard library alongside the new syntax. Especially because these can be quite different between di…

I realise I'm responding to this far too late for anyone to actually take notice, but I'm gonna do it anyway because there is a major criticism I have of the article: that all news…

Yeah, that doesn't surprise me actually. I'm not really into RPGs but I imagine a one size fits all approach won't work that well.

Don't know too much about Godot but I'd imagine something like this is more suitable for making an RPG simply because its got all the tools you'd need in an RPG game (stuff like di…

I think the reason for the justification is because in a field like programming where we have so many different languages, if there are any newcomers you'd want to know what sort o…
