brainlessdev··on Tell HN: Check medium's localstorage if you use adblock

Maybe! My extension offers a different set of features. It shows an angry emoji next to the blocked links, and lets you click on them. When you click on them, you're prompted to confirm that you want to follow the link, alongside a reminder of why you blocked the domain.

The author mentions something about omitting HTML tags and links to another article of his own, which could explain this (I haven't read it yet):

It looks great. I created an extension with a similar purpose. It adds a confirmation step when you click on blacklisted links, and prepends an angry emoji on blocked text links.

brainlessdev··on Ask HN: What are you learning?

Indeed, at my company I've been working with GraphQL for a while now (about a year and then something) as a frontend developer, and our main way of communication with the backend was writing out a GraphQL file as a draft of how we imagine the API should turn out.

It's nice!

brainlessdev··on Ask HN: What are you learning?

Thank you! In fact I have been using type-graphql for this project.

I'll make a note to check out Nexus. Some other contenders to go into my tech stack were Hasura, Prisma and Postgraphile, but I wanted something a little bit closer to the vanilla GraphQL experience...

brainlessdev··on Ask HN: What are you learning?

I'm learning how to build a backend for a web app using TypeORM, GraphQL and Apollo Server. I'm a frontend developer.

Also, I've been toying with OBS Studio to learn how to make more professional video recordings to showcase applications at work, or bug reproductions, documentation, etc.

Any idea why this runs completely smoothly on Chromium but on Firefox it's glitchy (apparently missing colors on some surfaces) and the FPS are much lower?

brainlessdev··on Contributing to the Mozilla code base

I haven't changed jobs since I started contributing two years ago. So it hasn't, really, but I learned a lot. It probably will help in the future.

brainlessdev··on Contributing to the Mozilla code base

Definitely recommend contributing to their codebase. It's a great experience. I wrote about my experience contributing to Servo here: https://brainlessdeveloper.com/2017/08/12/my-experience-cont...

brainlessdev··on Insurers Know How Often American Drivers Touch Their Phones

In Spain the fine for drunk driving between 0.25 and 0.50 is the same as the fine for driving while on the phone: 600€ + 6 points off your driver's license.

I find that appropriate.
