logN_2··on Ask HN: How can a I become skilled with popular front end frameworks quickly?

logN_2··on Meduza co-founder's phone infected with Pegasus
Does the NSO find these zero days themselves or do they buy them from the black market?

Sounds to me like the best approach to shutdown the NSO group is to make the economics not work out.

logN_2··on Credit card debt collection
Why have the money taken out of my bank account for a purchase made today when I can pay it without penalty 60 days later and let the money grow in my brokerage account.

Along with the usual answers like cash bank/points/consumer protection, it also decouples spending from "pay day".

logN_2··on “Dear Discord, how on Earth is ”GTK“ a bad word? GTK is a GUI toolkit ”
What leaves a bad taste in my mouth is that one is forced to twitter to raise awareness which only works if you have a sizable following.

This combined with the band over posting ASNs is alarming.

It also seems to me as companies grow they become more interested in policing.

logN_2··on A successful Git branching model (2010)
Many jr devs cite this model to me. Every new hire after on boarding looking to make an impact cites this. And I’m getting tired of explaining why this model is not always a good idea.

And we’re building apps that have multiple versions in the wild.

logN_2··on Remove TypeScript
The key thing from David's blog post:

> things that are hard become `any`.

It's a hard problem to solve.

TypeScript excels at informing IDE's and developers. Typing improves my ability to understand APIs both as a library user and contributor. So I see the benefit exceeds the issues of TypeScript.

A better approach would be a more gradual. Perhaps keep the .ts files (or at least develop .d.ts files) for the public API and main components.
