I was also once an optimist.
Raphael··on Google Maps: Bird Mode
And if the exec did remember, he may well fire you on the spot for your insolence.
Raphael··on Public protest against Amazon
Definitely addicted to paychecks. Easy to look the other way when making twice what you could in any other line of work.
Raphael··on None of my projects want to be SPAs
Nice site. I don't think the entire card should be clickable to collapse, though, in case you just want to select some text.
Raphael··on Show HN: Search icons visually
One way is to scale the images down and threshold to black and white. At smaller scale they should be identical or much closer.
Raphael··on I scanned Austria
If only the NSA dragnet threw us a bone.
Raphael··on Show HN: Make your site’s pages instant in one minute
Would you push everything? Or just hovered links?
Raphael··on Our culture has two types of forgetting
"Imagine" was performed at the 2012 Olympic closing ceremony, so at least 10% of people on Earth this decade have heard it, whether they remember or not.
Raphael··on Start with a Website, Not a Mobile App
I wonder what would happen if you provided instructions for pinning a web app on popular platforms. Would users ignore this new information?

Many websites in the past have provided instructions for bookmarking.

Raphael··on React.js cheatsheet

    import {createElement as h} from 'react'
    import {render} from 'react-dom'

    render(
      h('div', null,
        h('div', null,
          h('p', null,
            h('a',
              {href:'foo'},
              'Link',
            ),
          ),
        ),
      ),
      document.getElementById('root')
    )
Raphael··on Create your own dysfunctional single-page app
IFrames create security obstacles, additional requests, take up memory, share CPU threads, and are usually the wrong size.
Raphael··on Unslacking Tideways Company
All the more reason to have library rules.
Raphael··on Facebook Network Breach Impacts Up to 50M Users
It seems to warrant checking both the permissions of the true user and the view-as user. If either does not have permission, then the action should fail. Of course, lacking the middleware for this forces you to choose one or the other and hope you remember to check the remaining user in numerous pathways.
Raphael··on TypeScript at Google
Create React App is the first link that TS gives you in "getting started". Is there something wrong with it?

Raphael··on How Netflix outsmarted everyone else in TV
You could rotate Netflix, HBO, and Hulu as long as they retain their libraries.

"schwarzites", not "schwartzites", which the article mistakenly prints 4 times, plus the HN submission
Raphael··on Dell XPS 13 Kabylake Makes for a Great Linux Laptop
It really is perverse to get a discount when you go with the $120 OS.
Raphael··on Labour HQ used Facebook ads to deceive Jeremy Corbyn during election campaign
We don't need a new law. The schemers can be fired and rules can be written to guard against it.
Raphael··on The Musical Diversity of Pop Songs
The example I remember is two different songs by the same artists. ("California Girls" and "Tik Tok" are the same song.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2dPA2dCRNY
Raphael··on Netflix is basically remaking all of TV now
That's called a game!
Raphael··on YouTube Music, a new music streaming service, is coming soon
If the image is a single keyframe of the video, the remaining frames have an empty delta and shouldn't take much (if any) space.
Raphael··on Now Is the Perfect Time for an RSS Renaissance
RSS is a(n) (open) secret club these days.
Raphael··on Jolla is the last company with an 'alternative' mobile operating system
They gave me half a refund, which is honestly more than I expected. I wish them well, but they're not getting any more of my money.
Raphael··on Inside Amazon Go
Checking membership at the entrance makes sense so that non-members don't waste their time shopping.
Raphael··on Show HN: Solo – App for sharing loneliness and aloneness
Maybe I build my apps in an amateur way, but I've never had this problem, except that it might look comically large.

You can run Linux on Chromebooks.
Raphael··on Ciao, Chrome: Firefox Quantum Is the Browser Built for 2017
I've just been clicking the small play button.
Raphael··on Firefox Quantum Lands in Beta, Developer Edition
Vimium can open a tab as long as you're in a web tab, just not a system tab like about:newtab. Actually has that same problem in Chrome.
Raphael··on Sockey – A P2P multiplayer soccer game based on WebRTC
I spawned in the upper left corner outside of the field and couldn't get inside the wall of the field.
