This seems pretty similar to https://github.com/dejan/rails_panel. Was that your inspiration?
Isn’t that fraud?
Re:An Elm Fork on Saturday June 10, 2023 @04:46PM (#36274921)
I mean the last commit for Elm core was in 2021. Changes require sign off that doesn’t seem likely from who is currently maintaining it. Why not fork it if you are interested in evolving ELM?
Jack responded back to Elon and agreed.

And on the surface it seems ok. Basically if you block me then fine I can’t reply to you r posts but if you’re posting publicly why should I not be able to see what you post?

So the big question I think is who to trust here.

Here is his mother denying it: https://twitter.com/mayemusk/status/1654983542336520192

Here is Elon's story: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1654971702571331584

Here's a video of Elon back in the day on CNN talking about sleeping on the floor and buying his first expensive car with the money he was making from x.com and Justine Musk saying she fears they will become spoiled brats: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9mczdODqzo

So who to believe?

Crazy considering it only knows about the world up until 2021

I’d love for you to validate the users against the list of verified twitter 1.0 users and see what percentage migrated over.
Now that Elon apologized is it ok to ask why Twitter paid a design firm at least 100 million for an acquisition when presumably they already had a design department and team that was internal to Twitter?
This is a pretty clever PR ad for her nonprofit.

One of the best pieces of writing I've come across that I still come back to about grokking complex codebases was written by Mitchell Hashimoto.

Does anyone know if Twitter was losing money for letting these third party clients have access to the firehouse?

Are these third party clients paying for the API or sharing revenue with twitter?

Because they are not paying for the research with their taxes and their governments are not reciprocating the openness.
I’m not sure how I feel about this. On one hand this is great for transparency and progress but this is also paid for by US taxpayers so why should scientist/people outside of the US benefit?
Re:DataRobot employee resigns over stock sales on Sunday July 17, 2022 @12:36PM (#32128319)
I’m a bit ignorant to RSU’s and secondary markets. Why were the executives able to sell but not regular employees? What stopped regular employees from selling ?
Is Google an American company?

Can you explain more what you mean by the kill-it phase? Why is everyone trying to kill it?
There is literally no proof that John Ehrlichman said this to Dan Baum in 1994 and when Dan Baum made this statement John Ehrlichman was already dead and could not refute it. Note that his estate has denied this statement.

It also is not accurate that the Nixon administration increased incarceration of drug use. That occurred under Reagan and Clinton.

However, Nixon was the first president to coin the term "war on drugs" but this was a rhetorical flourish. The Nixon Administration repealed the federal 2–10-year mandatory minimum sentences for possession of marijuana and started federal demand reduction programs and drug-treatment programs.

Re:Oregon becomes first state to legalize psychedelic mushrooms on Wednesday November 04, 2020 @03:41AM (#24987348)
I'm also sad this passed. It's actually not universal at first. It starts in 2021 offering seats to black, brown, illegal immigrant, teen parents and other traditionally "disadvantaged" groups first when it kicks off in 2021 and doesn't ramp up to full universal service until 2030. There's an additional tax increase that will take effect in 2026, that takes the marginal tax rate from 1.5 percent to 2.3 percent for single people making over 125k and joint filers making 200k. On top of all that, the measure would over-pay teachers 77k above the market rate, which is 33K. There's also the additional rider that they will prohibit suspensions. If you ask me, this bill only passed since it pushed the responsibility for paying for it to someone other than the majority of people in Multnomah county. It would have been more fair if there was a sense of shared sacrifice and skin in the game with everyone contributing to it. I imagine there will be more tax increases to help pay for all of the increase cost of a) people moving into the county for this free perk and b) people moving out of the county to not have to deal with this additional tax.

I'm actually really sad this passed. This takes money that was earmarked for schools from the Marijuana tax fund and puts it in unproven addiction treatments.

It also takes away the only real leverage of consequence that legal authorities had at compelling people into a treatment programs and replaces it with a 150 dollar fine, which won't be paid anyways.

Apple also recently pulled the app of the American news organization Quartz from the App Store in China. Quartz has been covering the Hong Kong protests.

Re:Browsers are pretty good at loading pages on Sunday July 21, 2019 @09:25PM (#20494777)
Sure, I mean all you're doing is basically loading up static content. In which case SSR HTML will perform just fine, but you do happen to use client side logic for your comments section which also makes sense to me. A SPA for your site isn't really the use case for SPA.
This is the sixth attempt in the past 24 hours to post this exact story. I wonder what it was about this attempt that caused it to spike up in points vs the other 5 attempts, which only maxed out at like 2 or 3 points?
Cool idea. There's a little error on the where you agree to terms. The 3rd bullet point is not broken out into it's own line item.
Re:Ask HN: Is anyone else just tired of JavaScript? on Wednesday May 23, 2018 @02:57PM (#17137039)
JavaScript allows you to develop better UX for the user. Allowing for near-instantaneous feedback to the user.
