rohannair··on Toronto swaps Google-backed, not-so-smart city plans for people-centred vision
3 million people live in Toronto. This is like asking if you can get into politics in Chicago and change things.
rohannair··on AMD Radeon RX 6800 and RX 6800 XT Review
Most well known DL libs use CUDA APIs, which is proprietary to NVidia, so to do it today you want an NVidia card.

rohannair··on Show HN: DontEdit – A writing tool that doesn't allow you to edit or delete
Dunno man, kinda seems like you should have made this trustless, distributed, anonymous and immutable.
rohannair··on Timescale, an open-source time-series SQL database for PostgreSQL
The guy wrote something about TimescaleDB as well: https://grisha.org/blog/2017/07/13/timescaledb/
rohannair··on Show HN: Under the hood ReactJS
React is a view framework, and knowing the internals of React is a completely unnecessary set of knowledge for the majority of developers using it to build products with.
rohannair··on Show HN: Evilpass – A slightly evil password strength checker
The package size of that thing is ridiculous. Used it once in a React/Redux app and it was about the same size as everything else combined.

Edit: 832kb apparently https://github.com/dropbox/zxcvbn/issues/169

rohannair··on Ask HN: What frameworks are currently used in a modern web stack?
apollo-server plugs into Koa, so no need to replace Koa.

Those might go hand in hand. Super manual processes.

No, I made this!
rohannair··on Dear JavaScript
Many HN posts about JS devolve into a "I don't like Javascript because I'm a real programmer, not a frontend" slugfest.

As someone who is invested in the long-term success of the JS ecosystem, it becomes a lot easier just to remove yourself from the discussion because a lot of the community is so negative about the (older versions) of the language and ecosystem, purely on ideology.

rohannair··on Show HN: A visual guide to the most popular CSS properties
I would expect a site about CSS properties to also know about the performance impacts of paints... Takes a good 5s for everything to load.
