Re:Change.org solicits donations under George Floyd petition, keeps money

I don’t think people are dumb, the language is clearly structured so that it is ambiguous to take advantage of people who care about a cause.

I had copied the title from the article at the time of posting, that's literally the title if you search Google:

Re:Scooter startup Bird is seeking a $2B valuation
on Tuesday June 12, 2018 @01:06PM (#17295319)
Loved BIRD when they first started here in San Jose but now they're painfully slow (~12mph) while Lime has managed to keep top speed around 20mph.
BIRD has an edge in terms of availability but I find myself taking one to find a Lime.
Re:You Don’t Want to Work from Home
on Monday May 21, 2018 @02:20PM (#17120486)
Being single and working from home for me was isolating and I found myself gradually becoming more seclusive while wanting to be social. When I was living with family I found myself wishing for more seclusion. In the article I try to write more of the abstract :)

Re:Proxy, a new JavaScript ES6 feature
on Friday May 18, 2018 @11:51PM (#17106569)
Proxy is nice but the scope is very limited if you tend to avoid metaprogramming.
One use I've found is for library maintainers - a way to expose a large API without taking a hit for requiring the whole thing. We use it to consume parts of that API without having to require all the dependencies and subdependencies.
Re:CSS-Only Components for Pure CSS

I like Pure CSS, it's one of the few CSS frameworks that makes it easy to pick and choose only the parts you need. Bravo!
Re:Redux – Not Dead Yet

Love Apollo - they're a great team with many of great open source offerings. Apollo link state excites me because it unites remote and local data under a single source of truth. As a long time Redux fan, it will be nice to have one less layer and dependency to debug. GraphQL as a uniform layer for accessing that source of truth is in my mind, a Redux-killer.
Re:Coinbase Ventures

Bragging about first response metrics is a little disingenuous when most of those are automated replies. To answer the question, support is still a disaster and why I left Coinbase last month.
Re:Modern PHP without a framework
on Saturday March 31, 2018 @08:51PM (#16726047)
Modern PHP is great but it still has the same inconsistent API. I did PHP for many years and had to look up the manual all the time because functions have different conventions for arguments.
Re:TC39 considers renaming flatten and flatMap to smoosh and smooshMap
on Thursday March 08, 2018 @12:15AM (#16542445)
I disagree and actually like it in principle. Languages of any kind change, and this to me feels just like spoken language change.
If enough people establish convention - why break it? A proposal that goes against convention is already under such scrutiny. I don't believe "smoosh" in this case is any better than "flatten" but I agree with the motivation and that's far more important than one function name.
Re:Google ends major OS support for Nexus phones and Pixel tablet
on Wednesday March 07, 2018 @02:19PM (#16538991)
Why is this a surprise? Google's has shown a pattern that they don't care about your Android hardware since they partnered with HTC and released their first branded phone.

I'm inclined to say that going all in on a Google chat product is like betting it all on a slot machine.
Re:JSON Schema
on Sunday February 18, 2018 @03:48PM (#16408483)
Not since I discovered GraphQL. It's hard to imagine any other abstraction on top of REST APIs that packs as much robust functionality in something so easy to use.

Re:From Bootstrap to CSS Grid

Sorry, but this is not true masonry because the heights of the items are fixed. Masonry layouts have dynamic height elements.
Re:MoviePass Adds a Million Subscribers, Even If Theaters Aren’t Sold ...
on Thursday December 28, 2017 @09:04PM (#16026951)
If I have a MoviePass I can go to any theatre. That means I can go watch a movie with my friend who lives in the Bay area, or my Grandmother who lives in Arizona. Your question, "Why would I drive further to see a movie?" is exactly why multi-chain subscription is superior. Because I don't always go to one theatre in one city.
Re:F.C.C. Repeals Net Neutrality Rules

Sorry but the two are not correlated, as much as I'd like to agree.
Trump appointed Carr. Obama appointed O'Rielly and Pai.
This one is on all of us. We let Congress become a swamp in the first place.
Re:Ask HN: What should I know before I invest fully in CSS grid?
on Friday December 08, 2017 @02:15PM (#15881130)
Support between browsers can be iffy. I had a grid implementation on cole.codes and it looked perfect on Chrome but disappeared entirely from Firefox. It wasn't supported at all in Safari at the time.
You will need fallbacks. Flexbox isn't going anywhere.

It's a crap analogy, but in this case it means they do content management really well with a good design and seamless integration.

That argument is akin to saying "let's strip the regulations because ___ wasn't so bad before."
Should it be terrible in order for us to realize when regulations are in our best interest? Should we go back to cars without seatbelts because at one point it wasn't so bad? Should we de-regulate smoking because it wasn't really so bad in the 40's?

Re:The GraphQL stack: How everything fits together
on Thursday November 09, 2017 @03:03AM (#15660690)
You can use directives to retrieve a REST API through GraphQL.
