erkose··on Ask HN: Which was the most used programming language in 2016?
Same as it ever was: http://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/
erkose··on Crafting a high-performance TV user interface using React
That's not the same thing. That setting enables/disables the playing of the next episode after you complete watching an episode. Even with that setting disabled, when you click on a series Netflix starts playing the next episode, or if it's not a series, the video.
erkose··on Crafting a high-performance TV user interface using React
Link is down for me, so I'm reacting to the title. I don't have an issue with the performance of the Netflix UI on my PS4. I have a huge problem with the design of the UI. First, there is no reason we can't have more configuration flexibility. I don't ever want a program to auto play and I have no use for the video loops that auto play when I hover over a program. Let me disable these features. I don't want "my programs" to move. Stop moving it so I have to scroll over promotional content to locate it. In general, the UI should just be my "my programs", "continue watching", and access to searching. Netflix is trying to hard to make the UI something we don't need. KISS.

erkose··on Datomic Update: Client API, Unlimited Peers, Enterprise Edition, and More
Thanks. I didn't scroll down because it isn't listed with the others.
erkose··on Datomic Update: Client API, Unlimited Peers, Enterprise Edition, and More
Datomic is awesome. However, I am concerned about the Datomic Starter tier which states "The Datomic Starter license is perpetual, but is limited to 1 year of maintenance and updates." Previously we could download and use Datomic without registration with some sensible limitations. This was ideal for small projects that don't need support. We could update our Datomic instance to keep up with bug fixes and feature enhancements. Are we now locked into a 1 year window of code quality and features based on our registration?

erkose··on Thousands of adoptees thought they were US citizens but learned they are not
If he was entitled to citizenship at the time of his adoption, and his adoptive parents failed to file the paperwork, then he should be entitled to citizenship regardless of his age. There are certainly many ways to abuse the system, but I prefer to err on the side of good faith.
erkose··on The Formula for a Richer World? Equality, Liberty, Justice
While I'm not arguing with the article, I thought liberty is freedom bound by justice.
erkose··on Thousands of adoptees thought they were US citizens but learned they are not
This is just wrong. He entered the country legally. The Adoption Citizenship Act seems like the right way to handle this.

erkose··on Ask HN: Will you ditch your Mac for a PC running Windows 10 because of WSL?

erkose··on Ask HN: Will you ditch your Mac for a PC running Windows 10 because of WSL?
Closed source is not more secure and of higher quality than open source.
erkose··on Ask HN: Will you ditch your Mac for a PC running Windows 10 because of WSL?
Except that you blather about about "closed-source" and "built-in surveillance features" in your original comment which are as much a part of MacOS as they are Windows. These are not Linux concerns because Linux is open source.
erkose··on Ask HN: Will you ditch your Mac for a PC running Windows 10 because of WSL?
I think you mean Linux. Apple is worse than Microsoft these days, but Microsoft is catching up, especially with Windows 10.
