I think you mean two-finger tap? I only use the trackpad and find the two-finger tap far more efficient. I'd never buy the Apple mouse, though.

It’s not locked on Android?

> I'm still not sure how you deploy a non-PHP webserver to be honest... every language seems to be doing something different

Coming from PHP and having used a bunch of different languages I can understand what you are saying.

Unlike PHP, the other languages run in a process that listens on a port (80, 443 or another). The single process continuously run and handles multiple requests.

Back then, I still had to use NGINX or Apache with PHP, and in retrospect I find that more difficult to understand than a script that listens on a port.

In short, Recess is a fitness marketplace for live and on-demand classes. I highly recommend taking a class (some are free!) as it's fun and challenging.

Conduit looks fantastic, I might start using it and possibly contribute.

On that note, is hosting a git GUI a trend? If I want to contribute I have to sign up. I’d have dozens of logins if projects started doing this.

I wonder if matrix could work as a decentralized git.

These blogs recommend products where in reality it’s an ad in disguised. They recommend the products because they are paid to do so.

Another thread on a similar subject: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23236841

Since "localhost" isn't assigned to a variable, couldn't it be a safe implicit conversion?

I have the same problem with strings as well. I think I understand the difference between String and &str but I wish it’d automatically convert String into &str when a function expects it.

Example: `std::env::var(“SOME_PARAM”).unwrap_or_else(|_| “localhost”.to_string())`

It just seems odd to me, something tells me there is a better way to do this but I couldn’t find it.

If Deno could run popular node libraries as-is then it’d be an easy sell but imo, except for security, the issues it solves doesn’t outweigh the cost of migration, if possible at all.

I am curious, it says it loads under one second but doesn’t on my computer, does it load that fast for you?

Having gone through interviews for 100+ employee companies, I was expected to know it all. Haven’t done SQL in years? Got nailed. 10+ years of JS experience but barely any in React? Got nailed. Haven’t reviewed that one algorithm used in the interview? Got nailed. That’s just a few examples.

Interviews aren’t totally reflective of the job but one‘s got to pass the interview before getting to the job.

I am getting "Unable to load the content" when I click on a thread, are you getting this? There aren't errors in the log.

At 1/3 brightness the text is barely readable. I think it looks amazing with full brightness. It should have been designed at a lower brightness, imo.

I was wondering how soon and found the associated PR which was created today https://github.com/denoland/deno/pull/5273

That’s how I got my first and last accident. Double parked car made a U-turn in a commercial street without signaling. My front tire got caught under his car, bringing me to a complete stop and flipping me over. I was only doing 15mph.

That ended it for me, bike was totaled, wife decided I stopped and I had no intention in getting involved in a more serious accident. I miss riding, I miss the sensation of freedom.

Half-Life, Unreal Tournament and every mods built on top of them had this. That’s why Minecraft is so popular: custom servers, custom communities, custom experience, decades of playability for the price of a single copy.

America’s Army also had this back in early 2000s

This is exactly my experience as well. Moved from PHP to Scala about 6 years ago.

Symfony is absolutely amazing. For example, you can import a UserBundle from github, extend the original service class, change a couple of lines and then you have a fully functional user auth system without to rewrite/wire a bunch of things.

Although I don’t enjoy writing PHP anymore, I do miss how mature it is.

Can you share more info about your work now?

A little bit of feedback. Your homepage brings my computer to a crawl. I'd fix this problem since that page is the first impression user will have when they check your product.

What other technologies?

I 100% agree with the point you are making.

A concret example of that is in a comment in this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22458176

That said you partially quoted me, if it wasn't for learning Rust I would stick to Express+TypeScript. If it's bound to fail, I might as well learn and have fun doing it.

I have, because I did a bunch of Express+TypeScript, always wanted to learn Rust and wanted to bootstrap a business by optimizing costs.

I liked this article since I always wanted to see concrete numbers or at least a general idea.

It's not uncommon for business to move from Ruby/Python/JavaScript to Go as they grow. I personally preferred learning Rust over Go because of its depth.

As an example, both thumbs hovers the touchpad when my hands are on the keyboard. One of my thumb frequently taps and moves the cursor to another line all the while I am writing code. It's frustrating.

Imo, the touchpad on Macbook has always been its greatest strength and they managed to ruin it.

and more commonly, what happens when your phone runs out of battery?

This is not a car. It is an electricity-powered four-wheel vehicle. So yeah, it's a car.

This is not a PC. It is a Mac. So yeah, it's a personal computer.

A framework that powers the web, isn't it a web framework? It's just a very broad category that also includes backend framework.

I love DDG but I think it's a bad name for a brand.

Saying "DuckDuckGo" in a conversation takes time and using the acronym "DDG" makes it sound like some kind of arcane product that only tech-savvy people uses. It's a bigger problem with internationalization.

I wonder why they haven't rebranded to "duck" since they purchased "duck.com".
