Search in repos that have X dependencies. For instance, I want to find a file named `_app.ts` in repos where next and typescript is installed.

The text on this blog needs more line height. I find myself tracing lines in order to read.
I thought you did a fantastic job, too.
You know it's a Tailwind site with a single look.
An actual inline style would suffice in this case. Before v2.0, if you want anything other than `top: 0`, it was recommended you do it in the style attribute: `style="top: 20px;"`

Could you, please, explain how?
I, for one, do not mind developers adhering to some common patterns/best practices. Whenever I open a codebase foreign to me, I bank on those patterns to understand the app to be able to contribute, learn, etc. Seeing new patterns would be helpful to myself, of course. But, there's a good chance I would bail out if I don't have a huge need learning that codebase.
Could you add post points and how much time since/when was the article posted? It would help as some topics do not age as well as others. Having sorting (most popular, most recent) and range search (last year, custom range) would also help those who want to narrow their search.
I very much prefer his older TV appearances to his more recent ones as he used to elaborate and present you with evidence on the spot. Nowadays, he keeps his input to a minimum on a given interview which is often unconvincing and borderline dismissive. I should keep in mind that he's 90 of age, though.
OOOH! That makes sense. Yes, it was off of a public tracker. So, this is a P2P file sharing website, then?
I disagree. Using this thing for an hour, users with emojis are more distinguishable at a glance. I often face this issue with HN where I have to read the user's username to know if they're OP. Twitter usernames with emojis, however, is really obnoxious.
I really hope this takes off. I already love it to the exclusion of Twitter with its thought leader wannabes and tech comedians.

Coming from an imageboard myself, I think about this often. The "serious" users keep comparing themselves to Reddit when they should strive to be more like HN, instead. Now HN is home -- literally; it's my homepage.

The hero image is 3104x1876 scaled to 900x500. It's totally butchered and illegible.
I don't grind my teeth, but one thing I do is that I hold my breath when I'm thinking or doing something irritating like reading bad docs. When I started programming two years ago, I thought that it would be impossible for me to continue because I was stuck too often and didn't breathe. It got a little better since then.
What are you referring to? I find IRC irritating, personally.
A tyranny of the majority is most certainly a thing. You defining that majority based on race and drawing conclusions is your call, not everyone's.
Coming from an Islamic country, minorities such as gay people or non-religious people cannot seek legal action without a strong sense of a chilling effect.
In the US, you have the electoral college as an attempt to amplify small state's voices to not have states with massive populations dictate who's president (at least in spirit, as I understand the implementation is far from perfect) which is understandable, since states are _first-class citizens_. The other thing, and correct me if I'm wrong, is that you have the house and the senate. The senate adheres to that first-class citizenship of states, while the house is a direct representation of citizens (blocks of them), which makes a tyranny of a majority (e.g. one-size-fits-all bill that suits people of California but wouldn't go well with the people of Wyoming) impossible.
So, if you don't feel like there is a tyranny of a majority in the US, you perhaps have to thank your legislative process for that. That sadly, does not map to private entities.
One of my more used quotes. Page 35 on the document.
> He who knows only his own side of the case, knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them. But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side; if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion. The rational position for him would be suspension of judgment, and unless he contents himself with that, he is either led by authority, or adopts, like the generality of the world, the side to which he feels most inclination. Nor is it enough that he should hear the arguments of adversaries from his own teachers, presented as they state them, and accompanied by what they offer as refutations. That is not the way to do justice to the arguments, or bring them into real contact with his own mind. He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them; who defend them in earnest, and do their very utmost for them. He must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form; he must feel the whole force of the difficulty which the true view of the subject has to encounter and dispose of; else he will never really possess himself of the portion of truth which meets and removes that difficulty.
