johnghanks··on Sublime Text 4 – Build 4100 has native Apple Silicon support
Because it's taken VSCode less than 2 years to completely eat Sublime's lunch and dinner.
johnghanks··on AstraZeneca/EU contract
> then it turns out efficacy in old people is basically nothing

didn't this turn out to be false

johnghanks··on Thanks HN: You helped save a company that now helps thousands make a living
this is an ad
johnghanks··on Hotwire: HTML over the Wire
i don't get it. isn't this just traditional SPAs but worse and more limited in basically every way?
johnghanks··on Zero-Bundle-Size React Server Components
especially weird since you would use `date-fns` (vs. something like moment) specifically because it allows you to include only the functions that you require (via tree-splitting).
johnghanks··on GitHub Dark Mode is too Dark
It's not the default what are you even talking about?
johnghanks··on 1MB Club
> These things are a cancerous growth on the web.

lmfao a little dramatic. JS heavy sites _can_ be great experiences if they are developed properly just like <1MB sites can be garbage if they are poorly developed.

johnghanks··on Google Photos will end its free unlimited storage in June 2021
why would anyone want this? you lose literally every benefit of Google Photos.
johnghanks··on Coming soon: Google Fiber 2 Gig
Competition in those areas is still good for the rest of us.
johnghanks··on Ask HN: Would you want a distributed Postgres that runs on Spot Instances?
no
johnghanks··on Ox is a fast text editor, written in Rust, that runs in your terminal
why
johnghanks··on Is a billion dollars worth of server lying on the ground?
god this is written so poorly it's hard to follow
johnghanks··on Bizarre Design Choices in Zoom’s End-to-End Encryption
yeah super cringe.
johnghanks··on Washington crews destroy first U.S. “murder hornet” nest
"nauseous"

well that's a little dramatic

johnghanks··on iSH Shell
???
johnghanks··on U.S. Accuses Google of Illegally Protecting Monopoly
Sorry but is it really a monopoly when the reason you're a "monopoly" is that your products are just plain better than the competition?
johnghanks··on Glow: Markdown reader for the terminal with a TUI and encrypted cloud stash
why
johnghanks··on Google's Sundar Pichai says future of office is employee 'on-sites'
Y'all need to log off at 8 hours worked. I used to work 8:30 - 4:30 (read: get up at 7, shower, bus at 8, in work at 8:30). Now I work 7 - 3 most days (literally roll out of bed and sit down at my desk). If I'm tired, I'll snooze my alarm for an hour and work 8 - 4. My life is significantly better working from home.
johnghanks··on Show HN: A SQL database implemented purely in TypeScript type annotations
> I built something similar - A set of scripts that generate SQL statements from typescript types to wrap a PostgresSql db.

If you think these are similar I don't think you understand what this is / what it's actually doing.

I have personally saved _thousands_ of dollars in addition to hours of my life not having to commute.

There's an element of seriousness in your sarcastic comment for more than just companies.

johnghanks··on Google's Sundar Pichai says future of office is employee 'on-sites'
> Remote work is a compromise, not an advantage.

for you, maybe.

johnghanks··on Google's Sundar Pichai says future of office is employee 'on-sites'
This is why it shouldn't be required either way. People who want to work from home should be able to work from home. People who would prefer to come into the office should be able to do so. It disappoints me to read comments here about people proclaiming absolutes in either direction. To be clear - I'm an advocate for full-WFH: I am fortunate enough to have a space for working and a space for other. ... but I recognize that some people have different situations at home.
johnghanks··on Google's Sundar Pichai says future of office is employee 'on-sites'
I see "free social interactions" as neither a benefit nor something that can only be obtained on-site.

These "free social interactions" are often just distractions - taking you out of your context, making it difficult for you to be productive.

That's why I love remote + Slack. Slack is async. I can finish what I'm doing before addressing messages there. On-site, people rarely if ever warn of their intention to come talk to you - they just walk up and start talking.

Why is it miserable?

johnghanks··on Nova by Panic
Yeah it's like celebrating shooting yourself in the foot.
johnghanks··on Nova by Panic
kinda wild that something so important is buried in a huge list of other things. LSP is critical for _anything_ that even _wants_ to compete with VSC.
johnghanks··on Nova by Panic
With all due respect you gotta come out with a grand slam to get me off of VSCode. This ain't it.
johnghanks··on More people are searching for an inbox that protects their privacy
no they aren't
johnghanks··on Is There a Google-Free Future for Firefox?
> There's no other company right now I would trust more with some knowledge of my browsing history

so it's ok to simp mozilla but trusting google bad?
