I've no idea if TFA is good or not, but it is very new and has only 4 upvotes. The HN front page is a mix of new and popular-despite-age. So it's not surprising to find some barely-vetted things on the front page. (AFAIK the idea is that we're all suppoed to vet them, and the survivors stay on the front page for longer)

What makes you think this is about individuals rather than volume?

FINALLY. Kept having to re-disable this cursed anti-feature after updates turned it back on

There's no "easy" to the tech interview process

Thanks for the video link.

I'm definitely a fan of higher level tests that frequently survive refactorings.

I'm not arguing unit tests are useless.

The point was to change the code structure without changing the tests (possibly to enable a new feature or other change). The challenge being when the tests are at the wrong "level", probably by team policy IME. If you change the tests, how can you be sure the behavior really matches what it was before?

Seems to defeat the point of the tests. At least partially.

you should probably be comparing Flash to the wide variety of engines and tools that can release to HTML5 rather than to raw WebGL

They don't really offer the articles under a payment model that matches my (and apparently many others' reading habits)

If a single code base has multiple non-isolated deployables designed to be published simultaneously, and/or having a shared data store, is it a collection of microservices or a monolith? I've taken to calling it a scalable monolith.

Why should we not let it influence the decision? It's seems to me entirely possible that closing the schools could result in worse outcomes.

It doesn't seem to include Digital Ocean in the comparison.

i find blacklisting sites that abuse JS works better for me than the whitelist approach

It's absurd

Barring live calculation of shipping based on location, for inclusion in the display price, this seems ideal.

It failed for over a month for me, but only in one direction, and I didn't know. Other party thought I was ignoring them. Lack of confirmation makes it 'worse than useless' in the failure case

All this junk they've been doing to Windows lately is making me feel like a restricted guest in my own computer. I'll definitely be exploring alternatives next go around

I was able to find one for some hospital procedures on their website recently. It was not helpful. It was both incomplete and inscrutable.

the original title has "yearlong, 30-bank" there. "yearlong" has been removed for some reason, but the comma remains
