Liquidor··on GitHub Broken Download URLs
That's amazing. Had no idea we had a GitHub office here, let alone in the country!

If you're working remotely, are you employed by Californian standards/regulations/benefits or by local ones here in Denmark? If you don't mind me asking.

Liquidor··on Apple requires account deletion within apps in AppStore starting January 31
From the wording in the guidelines, just don't let the employee create the account through the app (shouldn't be a thing for employees anyway).

Basically: App allows account creation => App must allow account deletion.

Liquidor··on Google sets burial date for legacy Chrome Extensions, fears for ad-blockers grow
Last I heard Mozilla said the following:

Developer testing in Q4 2021 and v3 submissions early 2022.

So both browsers should support both v2 and v3 for a year.

You can change the box colors at the bottom of the site :)

Liquidor··on Laravel Transporter
Isn't this package just a different solution for a Repository Pattern?

Create a repository class which contains all the objects and methods for the API and then use this repository as a bridge between the API and your controllers.

Business and data access logic can be tested separately and it's easier to maintain.

Liquidor··on Up for Grabs
The idea is great but...

I checked out about 15+ smaller repositories with the "help wanted" labels and only one had active development.

Most projects had several unanswered pull-requests since 2018/2019 contributed by strangers wanting to help or issues with comments from people asking to help with no response.

I actually looked for one project that i could potentially help out a tiny bit, but the experience so far has been discouraging.

Liquidor··on Gitmoji – Yay or Nay?
How come? As I understand the comment, the user is questioning the tense of "fix" and I'm providing a reason and an example as to why someone would use imperative mood in their commit message.

Edit: Nevermind. I must have been tired yesterday. User wasn't questioning the tense, but pointing out that the part of the message "fix" making the :emoji: redundant.

Liquidor··on Gitmoji – Yay or Nay?
> Doesn't 'fix' already mean there was a bug, that was 'fix'-ed?

Read this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3580013/should-i-use-pas...

TLDR from the Git repo: Describe your changes in imperative mood, e.g. "make xyzzy do frotz" instead of "[This patch] makes xyzzy do frotz" or "[I] changed xyzzy to do frotz", as if you are giving orders to the codebase to change its behavior.

People have different opinions on what tense to use, but the one that scales better would be in imperative mood. See example here: https://github.com/facebook/react

Liquidor··on How to Make a Great Puzzle Game
Hey Chris. Love the posts. Lots of insight.

A bit offtopic, but could you remove the fixed widths of your #content (.baby-container) at screen width below 767px ? 300 pixels is just too narrow for the content. Maybe set width to auto and set margin to 15px for a better responsive experience? :)

I just can't take this website serious. Is it a parody or a joke? It looks awful and it doesn't even fit on mobile (https://i.imgur.com/6GD8yfD.png && https://i.imgur.com/lxs0gVG.png)

What happened to keeping it simple? http://motherfuckingwebsite.com/ or http://bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com/

Liquidor··on Show HN: Milkshake – Make Websites from a Phone
> >Seeing that Instagram only requires the age of 13,

> That sounds wrong though

In what way?

Liquidor··on Show HN: Milkshake – Make Websites from a Phone
From the Terms: "You must be 13 years or over to create a Milkshake account. If you are under 18 years of age, you will need the permission of a parent or legal guardian (who is at least 18 years of age) to create a Milkshake account."

Seeing that Instagram only requires the age of 13, I wonder if teens will actually bother with permission from their parents/guardians to use Milkshake. Or is this something that will only be enforced after being revealed as under 18? And why 18?

Liquidor··on Belly.io – Curated List of Programming Coding Streamers
I've been hanging out in the Science (Programming) community on Twitch almost every day for a couple of years and I can tell you that it's definitely influenced by the social aspects of streaming.

I've even streamed myself programming once in a while and I plan on doing that a lot more here in 2019. It's fun.

Streaming while programming is definitely slower, and sometimes unproductive. You repeat yourself a lot, since people come and go constantly, but the pros can sometimes make up for that; Sharing and receiving help/knowledge from your viewers is amazing. We all get stuck sometimes, and I've seen countless of times a viewer (myself included) have the answer or solution to the problem. Very polite!

The social part is definitely a big factor and you meet a huge audience of programmers of all levels worldwide.

Also I love to help, and StackOverflow can sometimes be boring and dry to look at. Watching and helping someone programming on stream is a lot more interactive.

Liquidor··on Building a better gov.uk, step by step
We've had something similar in Denmark for a couple of years: https://www.borger.dk/ (translation: citizen)

English version (smaller but directed at non-citizens): https://lifeindenmark.borger.dk/

It's crazy how much you can do on your own and it leads you to wherever you need to go.

The website also changes the available subjects based on the municipal you live in (as an option to avoid confusion).

Almost every page has been written and updated by one of the departments in the government as noted at the bottom of every page.

Sample pages to look at:

https://www.borger.dk/bolig-og-flytning/flytning_oversigt (landing page with popular shortcuts/subjects)

https://www.borger.dk/bolig-og-flytning/flytning_oversigt/fl... (subjects and Start buttons for forms and guides either on borger.dk or one of the other gov websites such as https://virk.dk (company/business registration/management) and https://sundhed.dk (health database with knowledge and journals)

Liquidor··on Do You Really Know CORS?
CORS is mostly used to prevent attacks from a browser script on a non-whitelisted website (CSRF etc.).

To prevent someone abusing your API otherwise, use an authentication method.

Liquidor··on Facebook Will Introduce Ads as Videos Start, a Move Long Resisted
You can just unfollow your entire friends list except for the few people you actually want to see content from and your feed is basically not changing at all except for those VERY few updates from your select friends.

And don't forget to use Messenger Lite.

Liquidor··on Show HN: Amplify – A tiny script allowing inline image zoom
Apparently the author of the project didn't fully implement flexbox properties, making it not work in IE/Firefox.

Reported the issue and suggested a fix: https://github.com/charlestati/amplify/issues/2
