Isn‘t that exactly like the status quo with banks?
Re:Deno in 2021 on Tuesday January 25, 2022 @02:31PM (#30076790)
I love the current version of Deno for smaller hobby projects. But using it in a full blown production env with actual paying customers depending on it is a whole different story. Deno is a lot simpler and more cohesive than node. But the simplicity is what currently stops me from attempting any big projects with it. Yes, having no package.json files is great - but on the other hand it hinders me from configuring my project in one file.

These tools make me want to build command line tools!
Not true. There are TONS of easy and healthy recipes out there. You can also just meal prep and cook for a whole week in lne session.
Re:An Honest Comparison of VS Code vs. JetBrains – 5 Points on Tuesday January 11, 2022 @02:15AM (#29888541)
I think you will like JetBrains Fleet. However, it is still in beta and from my experience testing it, I guess it won’t launch before the second half of the year.
Re:State of the Web: Deno on Monday January 10, 2022 @05:39AM (#29872829)
- No package.json or other config files - web compatible where possible (es6 import, fetch…) - native ts/js/tsx/jsx

Overall, it just makes sense. It feels like you’re using one syntax for front and backend instead of having to use two different ones.

Love Deno. So much much more intuitive and simple than Node. I highly recommend you giving it a try, if you used Node before, Deno will be a super easy to learn tool.
Re:Kagi: A Premium Search Engine on Friday January 07, 2022 @04:44AM (#29837131)
People pay for VPNs but continue using the web with their normal accounts, thinking their privacy is protected. A private search engine would be a much better way to protect the privacy.

Any creative tool (audio, video, picture), that doesn’t randomly crash after 30 minutes

Well you can actually build something yourself. Sure, someone else built e.g. the code editor you‘re using, but if you come up with an algorithm yourself, you did, by definition, build it yourself.

Hi Josef, the book looks super interesting! Do you offer discount for broke college students? :)
Re:Arch Packages You Might Want to Install on Wednesday December 08, 2021 @02:06AM (#29482005)
That’s a nice list, but a brief explanation for each package would be very helpful. As a beginner I have no clue what most of them do. I chose Arch because I do not want to fill up my system with software I never use, copy pasting this list would defeat the purpose…

Re:Ask HN: Could VSCode be the new Emacs? on Tuesday November 09, 2021 @04:39AM (#29159515)
Anyone who has ever made an extension for VS-Code knows that the amount of customization you can do is MINIMAL and tightly constrained. No, VS-Code won‘t be the next emacs, it is a text editor but nothing more. Emacs can be used as a whole operating system. It‘s the dame argument people had comparing Vim with Emacs. Both pieces of software are great but they serve different purposes.

No desktop version that works offline? No thanks.
Re:Microsoft Edge GA on Linux on Wednesday November 03, 2021 @06:43AM (#29092950)
Never using that spyware again. Network monitor showed that the „helper“ program sent and received data pretty much all the time, even when Edge was closed. Also, on program startup, Edge sent quite a lot of data home to MS. Edge might be fast but if you value your privacy you should use a different browser.
Great software, 100% recommend.
