The Elastic license doesn’t use the term “competitor”. To me, the definition of the limitation is actually pretty clear: > You may not provide the software to third parties as a hosted or managed s…

I think it’s cool how the process of submitting feedback is quite straightforward and low-friction! One question: is the layout of the widget customisable? I.e., mainly the font and colours? Because w…

Two questions: 1. What would happen in the event when the private key was leaked? Is there any scenario for invalidating or rotating keys? 2. For verifying the proof file, it seems like the URL for ob…

For anyone (like me) wondering why PDFs would need to support JavaScript in the first place, the main motivation/use-case appears to be validation and interactivity of embedded forms.

I’m not sure I find this document to be a good example of careful and effective communication. Quite a few of those bullet points seem repetitive, and it feels more like someone flushed out their thou…

This is more like an Ask HN, isn’t it? https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html

I’d probably try to disable them all, and see whether that has any effect in the activity monitor. If so, I’d turn them on one after the other to identify which one is the culprit.

Although not exactly ultra-wide, on my 27" screen, the font-size with maximised window (2500px horizontally) would compute to ~22px for the submitted website. While that’s noticeable bigger compa…

Another – presumably coincidental – issue with images [1] and [2] is that there is a person missing. I assume that’s not related to skin colour, but to me it adds to the slightly irritating effect of …

The BMW R60 image appears to be CGI / 3D-rendered. If you zoom in on the original[1], you can see how the rear suspension is attached. [1]: https://www.pexels.com/photo/orang…

150K worth of JS doesn’t seem too bad in my eyes, considering the level of interactivity here (not just for the filtering, but also for the input dialog). Almost half of the 150K is actual data, which…

> [...] So why not switch? Experimenters point to two reasons. First is the endowment effect [...]. The second reason is [...] to minimize regret. I think there is a potential third reason, which i…

You might not consciously observe how your light switch transitions to the opposite position, but I’d argue that most people still have an immediate and intuitive understanding of how both end-states …

> what's the point of emphasizing the sliding? Because the “knob” changes position. Like in the real world, objects can’t disappear in one place, and then instantly appear in another. Animatin…

Apart from the dedicated domain, is there any other GitHub-specific functionality? Or is this basically “just” a GitHub-themed landing page to an otherwise generic link shortening service?

> Language is cultural and context-specific. Language is not set in stone either, and the perception of what terms mean may change over time, even within one and the same cultural context. That’s w…

> but rather it is what we have collectively agreed on the meaning to be. Who is “we”? My point is that I don’t think that your premise of “collective agreement” is true for “open source” or “free …

It’s not possible to reserve terms which are made up from generic words. That’s neither true in trademark law (for good reason), nor anywhere else. Saying “free software” or “open-source software” doe…

> It's potentially misleading, but I don't think it's intentionally dishonest. That’s my interpretation as well. The usage of the term “add-on” is not clear here in my opinion. On th…

One additional feedback, for consideration: to me, your Pricing page[1] doesn’t make it sufficiently clear that the “Starter” plan may incur costs at all (let alone in this ballpark). It’s now more ap…

For static sites, I’m quite happy with Cloudflare Pages + Github deploy action. ( https://github.com/cloudflare/pages-action )…

> Josh combines the advantages of monorepos with those of multirepos by leveraging a blazingly-fast, incremental, and reversible implementation of git history filtering. It might be just me, but …

> There is no good reason that this kind of content would need any client-side logic. One such reason might be that it allows the developer to host their frontend statically, which usually is muc…

I’d tend to agree that using the browser history doesn’t feel like the right solution for this kind of undo/redo functionality. In my mind, undo/redo actions are too fine-granular, and pollu…

I suppose OP is referring to a bug where you are stuck at the home page (i.e., the initial state) after you clicked around a few times. So just going to your page and then navigating back right away w…

A potential alternative is to set the following HTML attributes on the <input> field: autocorrect="off" autocapitalize="off" URL inputs are otherwise also suppor…

Is this still true, considering how the Supreme Court has decided a similar case against patent trolls[1][2] in the past? [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octane_Fitness,_LLC_v.…
