jflowers45··on SQL Operations Studio
I wonder what SSMS can do that this can't? SSMS is not cross platform as far as I know, whereas this is. Would be nice if they elaborated on the differences and pros/cons.
jflowers45··on Introduction to HTML Components
I'm slightly confused by the combination of "introduced in Internet Explorer 5.5" and "offers a powerful new way" being written in an article posted on August 28, 2017
jflowers45··on CSS and JS code coverage in Chrome DevTools
I think the spirit of the question was "how best to do it from the gazillion options that are out there"
jflowers45··on CSS and JS code coverage in Chrome DevTools
I use ScreenFlow for screen recording and they added export as animated gif recently. It's so easy - highly recommend it.

Is this a new addition to their website?

jflowers45··on Tips to Improve Your Mental Math Ability
reminds me of one of my favorite books from when I was a kid - https://www.amazon.com/Math-Magic-Everyday-Problems-Revised/...

this is a 404
jflowers45··on Show HN: Storing your bookmarks under revision control
I've never heard it referred to as revision control - I always hear "version control" or even "source control". Any difference? Is that a common phrase?

I felt more appropriate to link to the original source

jflowers45··on Going Serverless: AWS and Compelling Science Fiction
Thanks for sharing. I have used SES previously but hadn't thought to use it to route INCOMING emails ... was only using it to send ... so that concept in and of itself made it worth the read!
jflowers45··on Ask HN: $1k+ side projecters, what was the best thing you did to market it?
Note that to do this, you also have to be able to identify the influencers in your niche which is a skill in and of itself.

jflowers45··on Samsung Galaxy Note 7 owners told to turn off device
The Takata airbag recall as well as the Note 7 are two of the most high profile recalls I can think of in recent history. Can anyone think of any other recalls that affected so many consumers and received so much press coverage?

could've just linked to the source that the article references.

jflowers45··on New WordPress Page Builder Feature: Customize Your Color Picker
Misleading title. This isn't a change to core WP.
jflowers45··on New Yorkers Can Now Get Unlimited UberPool in Manhattan for $200
Inaccurate clickbait title. How about "New Yorkers can now get unlimited UberPool inside Manhattan for $50/week"
jflowers45··on Leaflet 1.0 – A JavaScript library for mobile-friendly interactive maps
there's more nuance to it - see this comment thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12589647
jflowers45··on Leaflet 1.0 – A JavaScript library for mobile-friendly interactive maps
I love that I can ask a question like this here on HN and get an answer from the Leaflet author. Thanks for taking the time to respond.
jflowers45··on Leaflet 1.0 – A JavaScript library for mobile-friendly interactive maps
Thanks for the info, much appreciated! As a general aside, I feel like there would be a good audience for a blowout article comparing the top mapping library pros/cons.
jflowers45··on Leaflet 1.0 – A JavaScript library for mobile-friendly interactive maps
What about OpenLayers makes it easier to use for really big projects? I've used leaflet, never used openlayers, would love to hear.
jflowers45··on Leaflet 1.0 – A JavaScript library for mobile-friendly interactive maps
Is Mapbox moving away from Leaflet as they develop Mapbox GL?
jflowers45··on Show HN: Inside – The network of email newsletters
Also, unlike many "Show HN"s, it should probably be noted that this is not some random side project - the CEO is Jason Calacanis
jflowers45··on Show HN: Inside – The network of email newsletters
This looks cool. You may want to include the 'about' link in the header (not just footer) since you have essentially infinite scroll, and as a first-time visitor I want some more context.
jflowers45··on Show HN: Checkup, an open-source uptime monitoring tool built for developers
I didn't intend it as a demand or complaint ... just feedback. I'd just imagine a lot of people who see "uptime monitoring" would have the thought "can it replace pingdom for me"
jflowers45··on VotePlz – The Easiest Way to Vote
Appreciate that you responded & didn't dodge the question. I think what makes it feel weird is that PG went out of his way to hype the launch of voteplz without (as far as I know) ever doing anything similar for vote.org
jflowers45··on Show HN: Checkup, an open-source uptime monitoring tool built for developers
I would appreciate a side by side feature comparison between checkup and pingdom
jflowers45··on Cisco copied Slack called it Spark
I like this article but I think your version of the headline on HN "Cisco copied Slack called it Spark" is too clickbaity and VB's original "Cisco doesn’t want Spark to be like Slack. Here’s why" is more appropriate.
