So that's why there is such a difference with the link about the escrow account [1]. Maybe the title should be edited on HN to reflect that, since the australian context is not obvious (not hidden, either, but I missed it at first)

Seems to be back for good this time

Well, sadly, he can. Loading profiles sometimes works, and posting tweets works too: https://twitter.com/_kLabz_/status/986248991133392896 (don't mind the account or the tweet itself, I'm not after any exposure)

User profiles _sometimes_ load, indeed. Edit: and tweeting actually works

Seems like this "meme" comes from twitter HQ after all https://media.giphy.com/media/z9AUvhAEiXOqA/giphy.gif

It could become one, depending on why twitter is down or how long it stays down.

But yeah, nothing much to say or show for now.

It would be awesome if we could unleash something like this in our oceans without doing harm to the ecosystem (would be hard to do more harm that what we are already doing with plastic, but still).

Having tl;dr tweets shows how far twitter has gone from the original concept.

1.5G for a fresh startup with no files open is unacceptable when looking for a lightweight editor. That's what made me go back to vim; my previous laptop with 4G RAM couldn't handle vscode + a browser without going out of RAM. I had some hopes for oni but so far it doesn't solve any issue I have either with nvim or with vscode.

I'd tend to agree with GP, but this seems interesting.

I'll give it a try, although not with great hopes performance-wise but oni may be a good compromise between nvim and good lsp designed for vscode (like haxe lsp which struggles on nvim).

True enough. I still find it impressive, though.

Plus the associated illustration (on Laws of UX) seems to agree with you.

I used to buy my guitar controllers with their respective game (on amazon and such), it was always cheaper than the controller alone. I don't know what to do with the spare GHTV games, though...

Seems really nice, congrats! I'll give it a try and give you some feedback in a few days

I work for a small company (< 10 developers until last month, and suddenly growing) working on a project since around 2013.

I arrived a month and a half ago, and am leaving tomorrow.

I haven't been able to make much sense of the current state of the application, which constantly needs new features (to be delivered yesterday). For each task you need to dig into countless files with a filename of ~50 characters, often with several classes, with a size ranging from 300 to 7000 (for a few files) lines. You are asked to copy paste existing solutions and modify some things to make it work for your feature.

The code is a total undocumented mess (the copy-pasted javadoc all over the place doesn't help at all, since it's only rewording the function/variable name.. when it's not utterly outdated). Dead code everywhere, hundred of warnings (they use the closure library) due to bad code annotations (which do nothing at all), unreachable code, mistakes (comparing to NaN), or code doing nothing (often due to a type annotation mistake).

I'll try to find another company, maybe with a recent project or an old one which they are rewriting _right now_. My current company's pitch was that the goal was to migrate the current application (in closure library) in something like react, but the reality was something else entirely and I doubt they will begin the transition any time soon.

My previous companies were having similar issues (I left my previous company because the main project was falling appart and the CTO was refusing any attempt to rewrite the product, even if it's beginning to cost less to rewrite it entirely than to meet the clients needs by adapting the current version..), and I really hope I'll find myself in a situation where I am not silently swearing a dozen time a day at poorly written code.

Vivaldi, and chrome for dev. I am a web developer.

I didn't want to at first because I hated chrome, but I ended up doing most of my webdev with chrome (we were developing a webapp with chrome as primary target) and now I got used to its devtools (but wouldn't use this browser to do anything else).

I use vivaldi for everything else. I love the old opera spirit, even though vivaldi's still far from perfect imo. I can't wait for the mail client, too.

I may switch back to firefox instead of chrome for webdev once I give it a real try. I'll probably stick with vivaldi for everything else, though.

It is not "not being able to visit Netflix" which isn't the full web experience. Web-based DRM will spread to other services, maybe even to other things than video.

I couldn't care less about Netflix, I never intended to use their services and never will, but this really is bad news for the web.

Netflix on the web with a plugin was fine for me: people wanting to watch Netflix on their standards-compliant browser would need to install a proprietary plugin to do so, and would have done it (at least a great number would have, I guess). It was their choice to do so (the other one being not to watch Netflix in a browser, and yes it _is_ a choice).

The difference (and it's big to me) was that it had _no_ impact on people not wanting to watch Netflix in their browser. These people did not have this proprietary code running in their browser and all the potential security issues coming with it.

IMO the browsers should (and I don't actually know if they do or not atm, this is a thing I need to check soon) at the very least let people opt in or out of this. Of course if they opt out they wouldn't be able to use services like Netflix.

And here comes the browser plugins world again... So much for killing flash (which was and still is a _great_ platform for small to medium web games).

> Because subsequent searches aren't full page reloads.

This does not mean google cannot rewrite the url without reloading the page (via history.pushState). But less browsers supports this [1] (IE9, browsers from 2009, and some android browsers).

Kill flash, they said..

Flash version, [at least] 5 years ago: http://tsuyobi.heteml.jp/unity/flash/AngryBots/

It's great to see WASM coming at last, but I must admit I'm a little disappointed (for now, anyway). Huge download, and though it runs smoothly (firefox 50) I'm not really impressed given what was possible with the flash version.

As great at this probably is, I don't think adding yet another dependency to facebook is a good thing.

I'm getting tired of services that only accept facebook users. Having a facebook login or any other facebook service requiring the user to be a facebook user is not bad in itself (and can be pretty useful), but it should _always_ have an alternative.

That's why I think projects like Dial2Verify Twilio are a great thing. They're still not perfect though, as some said here on HN.

Now that's good news (for me, at least).

I never paid to use GitLab because I'm using it for a private use and could not afford to pay for 10 licences when I only needed one. Seems like I have no excuses any more :)

I remember reading it takes 10-15 days, but yeah it's relatively fast to reset your body's tolerance to caffeine.

Stunning how they were close to the reality with those! There's all the major features of Pluto in there.

Stencyl (http://www.stencyl.com/) could be a great tool : it's easy at first to do simple games without knowing anything about code, and you can progressively learn code, starting with basic logic.

Plus, it compiles natively to many platforms: iOS (iPhone/iPad), Android, Flash, Windows, Mac, Linux

I like it :)

Something that could further ease the color customization would be to use currentColor [1] on the border colors, allowing the customization to be made simply by changing the "color" attribute of the element.

Well, there's a whole lot of no-UI browsers out there for you. Hell, almost all available browsers fit in this category.

But some of us actually miss those UI, so this is good news. Although I'm still disappointed by Vivaldi atm.. not the Opera 9-like I was hoping for =/

I narrowly escaped death at level 9, and lost at level 10.

Could have completed level 10, maybe 11 with a little luck, without those lags (mostly due to all those things running on my computer atm, so basically it's mainly my fault) making the game ignore one click out of 3~4.

I'm a designer really used to RGB colors, btw. Nice & fun game, well polished!

It's still [one of] the best way to acquire solid knowledge of a language (and then its frameworks). I agree that this might not be the funniest nor the quickest way, though.

But it's not that bad when you have someone behind you, helping you when really needed, and showing you what you can achieve afterwards.

Jumping into JQuery, copy/pasting snippets from google and such won't (well, not often anyway) bring novices very far. Plus, they'll have a hard time learning other frameworks if needed (new job, etc.).
