For moderation, a user whitelist sits in front of the typical content blacklist, which introduces some interesting properties.

He's asking for new features as we speak. What should I say? Do I drop the hourly rate and ask for 10% of revenue?

There was no written contract.

I mean, who calls using test data fractal programming?

I haven't published anything yet. It seems like most hashing libs come with salt included. I'm using argon2. They look like this:

$argon2i$v=19$m=4096,t=3,p=1$KfzPd+sotGTwIJieTapmuw$4AKHcr0JDQQwId4OcLtDBc7cv8tAfwSKFCMYU4opooQ

I think my forum should work:

I can't think of anything that would be broken except for maybe the logo which is an emoji character.

I like the portability idea. I think I will need to upgrade to using some data encryption in order to do that.

If you're curious the stack is node/postgres and vanilla HTML, CSS and JavaScript on the front-end. It has an OAuth 2 JSON API.

Swift/Kotlin for various reasons. Therefore Kotlin ...iOS dev is a nightmare.

I read some of the HTMX essays [0] last week due to it being accepted into the GitHub accelerator program.

So, a fully RESTful API must output HTML. I'm not going to go into why but that's what Roy Fielding (the creator of REST), Martin Fowler and the HTMX guy(s) say.

The HTMX guy(s) also say that of course this fully RESTful API that outputs HTML is sometimes bad because you don't want to have to parse data out of HTML. So, the optimal setup is to have both a fully RESTful HTML API and the more common JSON API.

I also think that for the fully RESTful HTML API, it doesn't make sense for the outputted HTML to have any JS.

So, the question I'm pondering at the moment is, is a fully RESTful HTML API simply a website that doesn't use any JS? If so, then the optimal setup is to have an SSR website that doesn't use JS and a JSON API. Of course, under the hood, the website and the JSON API use the same lower level API (eg. SQL queries and back-end functions).

What's crazy for me personally is that this is exactly how I have set up Comment Castles. There's the no JS website [1] and the JSON API [2]. But I didn't build a no JS website because of REST, I just prefer websites that have no front-end JS.

simcity baby!

Never seen a digg link on HN.

One reason I don't see mentioned: you can't use keyboard shortcuts that use the backspace key.

For good developers, different stacks are very similar, so it's kind of a pointless metric. It'd be better to see how good they are are fundamentals.

You may want to check out Comment Castles [0] (disclaimer, I'm the creator). There are 50k comments, but I have never moderated anything. Actually, there are no moderation or admin tools built into the project.

130 ajax requests for a page?! lol

I think a lot of people prefer phone because they can't touch type.

I've never used an ad blocker. 98% of the time I immediately press the browser back button.

It was simply a poor name choice by me, didn't realize peaches meant butt (lol). Not to worry though, I will launch the new site/name ASAP.

Caring is huge, but also hard to teach.

Self teaching.

Simple math (arithmetic, boolean algebra, strings, composite data types, bitwise operators, order of operations, infinite expression nesting, and of course functions).

Complexity avoidance.

Written communication.

Subconscious thinking (ie. solving problems on autopilot while doing something away from the computer).

I am. I've been working on it for 3.5 years. It's open source and it's called Comment Castles [0]. I am currently in the process of changing the name to Comment Castles, the main instance is currently at the old name [1].

All the features work with front-end JavaScript turned off.

I am currently wrapping up the OAuth 2 server implementation so that we can have third party apps (no API fees!).

After I wrap up some remaining features I am going to move everything to commentcastles.org and forward the old site there.

It's currently text only (emojis allowed).

I do want to build good custom search but haven't really started on that task yet.

I am in the middle of implementing an OAuth 2 server for my internet forum [0]. The last 10 or so commits are OAuth related. I read docs for about a month and now I feel like I can code it. One thing that confuses me is how it can work without a client secret (it's recommended to not use a client secret for SPAs and native smart phone apps).

SEEKING WORK | Portugal (US expat) | REMOTE

I have 20 years of experience as a generalist contract web developer.

Most of my clients are companies with less than 5 employees.

My email address is at the top of the website in my HN bio.

Look to Windward

Fossils galore?

The article nor the comments here mention the most important factor: caloric surplus.

It it possible to reduce body fat while staying at the same weight, but the muscle gains will be much slower.

I want to hear from clients.

I am the OP. Failing would be - not being able to do it on their own.

Yeah, I've been working on a Reddit/HN clone called Comment Castles [0] for a couple years.
