Driky | 4 years ago | on: Browser Plugin: Readable
That function exist by default in all major browser. In firefox it's called "reader view".
In chrome you have to visit chrome://flags/#enable-reader-mode then Enable the option “Enable Reader Mode.” Click the “Relaunch” button that appears at the bottom to relaunch Google Chrome. Now you can visit any website or webpage with long readable text. Click on the book icon on the right of the address bar to enable reader mode.
Driky | 6 years ago | on: Ask HN: Can we expect Flutter to stick around?
With their legal issue regarding java and oracle it seems more sure than ever that flutter is here for the long run.
And if fuchsia is ever coming out of alpha/beta or if it is a test ground for the future of android then the future is already predictable when it concerns the place of flutter at google.
Driky | 6 years ago | on: Pokemon Sword and Shield Are Crashing Roku Devices
The title wrongfully is accusatory. The switch is very bad when it comes to network "cleanliness" with its propensity to broadcast for anything. But the fact that some roku devices are unable to handle proprietary network calls is on Roku not on Nintendo...
Driky | 6 years ago | on: Adopting Erlang
thank you for the answer. I'm not too interested in erlang (I'm still learning elixir so 1 horse at a time) but I'll keep your book close since both overlap quite a bit and the OTP part is common to the two languages. Thank you for writing that book !
Driky | 6 years ago | on: Test-Driven Development Is Fundamentally Wrong
from what author is writing, he present his understanding of TDD as being "writing ALL the test before the implementation."
And that would indeed be crazy. But TDD is not that. And again the author doesn't want to write unit test at the end of his project because he would have to "split the project into unit".
Should your code be written using good practices you will be able to test it without having to split anything. Not being able to unit-test your code is a proof of bad design.
Driky | 6 years ago | on: Test-Driven Development Is Fundamentally Wrong
I would laugh if it wasn't so crazy that someone that doesn't know how to do TDD was writing an article to say it sucks.
EDIT: after reading the blog post a second time, I even think that the author doesn't know how to write more classical unit-test.

Is it strictly Erlang only or does elixir has it's place in it as part of the ecosystem (no polemic intended here, hope for a direct yes or no)?
Driky | 6 years ago | on: Ask HN: How and where do you keep your notes/references?
isn't it more a problem of organization and modifying your habits and not one of tooling ?

then they might as well ask for that.

Bosque doesn't bring anything new to the game that other languages don't already do.

"Don't be evil" they said... Most people working at google might be nice people but the one in control are the they ass holes that you will find anywhere else :-(
Driky | 7 years ago | on: Why the Epic games store is a Botnet
Anyone with the skills necessary can confirm or deny this ?
If it's true is there a way to run this while blocking it's access to you personal data/registry/cert.. ?
Driky | 7 years ago | on: Ask HN: Did APIs Kill the Semantic Web Dream?
API didn't kill the semantic web, but the possibility to use API that does not implement standard that push semantic forward.
Driky | 7 years ago | on: You Don't Just Get Fired at Netflix. What Happens Instead Is Brilliant
How can you complain about this (the process described in the article) when you get one of the highest salary on the planet for this kind of job ? I do not deny the hardship that comes with all this but aren't you compensated for it ?
Driky | 7 years ago | on: A single-page app is almost always worse than a multi-page app
I find the author forget that those problems arise with each new paradigm and each time tools evolves to resolves those problems.

scary but not surprising.

I think the server died under front page pressure :)
Driky | 7 years ago | on: Nvidia RTX 2080 50 percent faster than the 1080 in regular games?
The claim by nvidia is double perf in some game so more like 100% faster.
Driky | 7 years ago | on: Show HN: Cloudron – Selfhosting made Simple. Instantly run 50+ ready-to-use apps
Let's say you subscribe to the basic plan, install 10 apps and then unsubscribe. As I understand it your app will continue to run, you just loose update and management abilities linked to the Cloudron sub right ?

Note: I was not able to find the app in the app store on my iphone even by searching for the exact name. I had to open a browser search for the app and click open with app store. Note sure why (tried from canada if that makes any difference).
