Not to mention there are some significant performance issues on aarch64. Love2D, a popular game framework, opted to not use JIT on macOS for this reason.

The extended version goes more in-depth and I highly recommend watching it instead.

The premise of the wiki is interesting, though I do think it’s lacking in variety from what I’ve seen so far. It seems to cater towards very niche part of internet culture aesthetics. There’s still definitely a couple of good reads though!
So YouTube does this to comply with EUs new directive? Isn’t this beyond Google then, and we’re starting to see similar methods for user verification on other video-on-demand platforms?

What’s up with these horribly out-of-touch privacy/license EU directives...

Alright, thanks for answering. What things would you consider being crucial to be done right though?
I’m curious how you’ve even achieved $100 per day. Did you have a sizeable following on social media or an email list to get your first customers? I wouldn’t call any of these milestones “small” or “easy”, that’s just ridiculous.
Re:Suomi: Like Hacker News, but for Finns written in elixir on Thursday August 27, 2020 @01:58PM (#24296523)
Hey, author of suomi.dev here.

First of all, thanks for taking interest in the project. I wasn't quite expecting someone posting it to HN. suomi.dev is a two week project into learning Elixir language, and as such, I wouldn't recommend using it as-is without auditing the source code first. Unfortunately the locale is hard-coded into the application layer itself, so skimming through the controllers or html templates for example could be a bit difficult for someone who doesn't understand Finnish.

You're not the only person to raise interest for a drop-in "HN-like" platform for their specific purpose though, so I'm considering turning the project to be more adaptable.

If you're not planning to use the current version of the project for anything _too_ serious, I could possibly work on a separate branch where I'll translate it to English. How's that sound?

Ask HN: First steps you take when designing a library/framework?

Or more specifically a piece of application that is long-lasting or modular that aids you or specific community of other programmers in solving a technological problem when writing their business logic.Do you first start tinkering with the implementation or use case? Do you begin drafting data structs, interfaces first or maybe you just go with the flow?

One of the latest releases added views to arangodb in what they call "ArangoSearch"

Sounds like something The Foundation would say... :)

And then you realize you need to port the same app from Windows to Mac, Linux, Android and iOS. Good luck.

I've recently jumped on the Quantum beta from years of using Chrome, and so far, the experience has been really enjoyable.

But please, for the love of everything that is holy, let developers customize scrollbar styles. Thank you.
