Re:Ask HN: Which sites/platforms do you wish had an API? on Tuesday March 27, 2018 @04:47PM (#16692585)

Eve online has tons of APIs, and the entire game is very data driven with an open market, industry and more.

Its kind of a developers wet dream if you like that kind of stuff. :)

200 self driving trucks on the roads of sweden in just two years time?

I seriously doubt that. Maybe the technology could be here but I doubt the legislature will be.

What usecase do you have for installing telnet on a production server? Just curious.

The linked page (the lander) is kind of a mess on mobile, overlapping text and general chaos.

I don't really get the point of this. Why does it matter if it's reversible?

Random between 0 and 4 toppings? 0 toppings is a pretty boring pizza...

17% for three years according to their website.

Ask HN: Should you check in your dependencies in source control?

Posted by nasso on Thursday December 14, 2017 @02:46AM
from the ask-hn dept.

Almost every piece of documentation I can find recommends not checking in your dependencies in your repository. This is the way I'm used to doing it myself too. I haven't really reflected on why.I can see some benefits to checking in your dependencies, for non shared private projects. You will be 100% free from external dependencies in your build process. Builds will be faster, easier and more...

Re:Maintaining an Independent Browser Is Expensive on Sunday December 03, 2017 @05:18AM (#15836936)

I tried to switch over. Switched from chrome to firefox completely for about two weeks after quantum.

I got random high cpu usage from firefox. Some random pages just spiked the cpu and everything slowed down. Same thing on both my workstation and laptop.

I also didnt find a way to make opensearch working. In chrome i can just type part of the url of a website, press tab and write a search query and get a search on the website.

That is so worked into my daily routine. It just became an annoyance and a dealbreaker. :(

I really really want to switch. But chrome works really well and my browser is such an important tool for me so i really want to use the absolute best.

When did this breakage happen? I dont remember it at all.

Re:Lively.next: A personal programming kit on Friday October 27, 2017 @09:59AM (#15568285)
