Thanks.

Ask HN: Can someone with enough Karma to downvote help me out with snippet?

I'm working on a Hacker News UserStyle that will be a full site redesign but I lack enough karma to downvote.I got the markup for those in a previous Ask HN [1]. Sadly, I didn't think to ask for markup for something upvoted and something downvoted.What I need is this snippet (the two table rows that comprise a submission and its actions): <tr class="athing" id="123456789"> <td...

Does he laugh it off or get offended? I find a good rep walks the line between customer advocate and company "man".

> I suppose it depends on what you mean as a growing app. A few of the examples are apps that you could easily sell as a freelancer/contract work.

The examples are interesting but what I don't see in your docs is how to control UI. Is that driven entirely by data types? What happens when an app wants/needs novel UI/flow?

Not Apple OS integrated but have you used Poe? Allows you to chat with ChatGPT, Gemini, etc all in one place.

Off-topic: Your platform looks like a really interesting tool for rapid-prototyping. How do you see in growing with the needs of the app?

Also, what is the obsession with a single file? Before I get to 1,000 LOC, I'm going to be looking to split it up into logical pieces—one for the DB setup, one for the UI, etc.—just to maintain sanity.

Re:Key Safari designer departs Apple to join 'The Browser Company' on Tuesday April 02, 2024 @11:30AM (#39906871)

I have serious concerns about any browser that requires a user account. I understand it drives the sync feature, and that they Take Privacy Seriously™, but I can't even test drive it before I commit to an account? That's a terrible onboarding experience.

And what if I don't actually care about syncing at all, or just don't trust an early stage startup that hasn't figured out monetization yet.

I do appreciate innovation in the browser UI space. But that's a hard pass.

Could I trouble you for another snippet where you've voted on the submission?

Thank you!

I'm working on a Hacker News UserStyle that will be a full site redesign but I lack enough karma to downvote. The markup for these is incredibly guess-able but if someone could confirm I'd greatly appreciate it. <td valign="top" class="votelinks"> <center> <a id="up_39789592" class="clicky" ...

Re:Ask HN: Learn PHP or django? on Friday April 10, 2015 @01:48PM (#9355930)

PHP is _not_ Web only. You can write CLI tools and server scripts with it. Look at Composer. That is pure PHP.

PHP is a highly marketable skill. WordPress, with their mission to power 50% of the Web, is PHP. Not to mention … the Book of Faces.

There are modern frameworks for PHP like Laravel that play the same role as Django.

But, if you're learning a new language, why not JavaScript? Everything is JS now—server side scripts, full stack Web dev, "Internet of Things." It is well on its way to Total World Domination.

This is optional. Mou has several editor themes and at least half of them don't do this—only the ones that end in "+" do.
