anarchy8 | 7 years ago | on: U.S. users are leaving Facebook by the millions, Edison Research says
> mostly politics and mostly far left
You're upset that your friends have different political opinions than you? And you're blaming Facebook for this? Why?
anarchy8 | 7 years ago | on: Democrats to push to reinstate repealed 'net neutrality' rules
Free-market capitalism and crony capitalism are subtly different in that way
anarchy8 | 7 years ago | on: Redesigning GitHub Repository Page
I like it. The commits per file don't make sense in the current design, and the tab hierarchy doesn't make sense. I don't like the "flat" redesign though, it was better before.
anarchy8 | 7 years ago | on: Spotify will now suspend or terminate accounts it finds are using ad blockers
This is an arms race that Spotify will loose.

This is super out of date. A lot has changed in our understanding of the livability of mars.
anarchy8 | 7 years ago | on: London mayor Sadiq Khan calls for second Brexit vote
The role of politicians in a representative democracy is to act as a moderating force against the tyranny of the majority.
The pro-brexit camp has been shown to be full of lying propagandists. Another vote seems necessary.

> This is pretty old, and hasn't seen an update in over a year
So pretty much like every Python project then. What's happening to the Python community?
anarchy8 | 7 years ago | on: The easiest way to keep your web apps accessible: Just use text
How is that ironic? It sounds like the problem was self-inflicted.

Peter Lowe's list is notoriously overzealous and it's enabled by default. It breaks countless websites and I found other lists to be better.

They're skewing the data to fit their narrative by only looking at medium rent for a 2 bedroom apartment.

You better hope you fly under the radar then.

> Magically attributing significant qualities to people because of their race is racism. Magically attributing significant qualities to people because of highly salient surface characteristics is bigotry.
That's not what racism and bigotry mean.
anarchy8 | 8 years ago | on: WhatsApp co-founder tells everyone to delete Facebook
Please don't spread lies. What the Obama campaign was doing in 2012 was nothing compared to what Cambridge Analytica did for Trump.

Boston has had wireless signal in the subways for over a decade now.

> Hire people who like to work hard and who have something to prove
In my experience, having "something to prove" can often be a negative.
anarchy8 | 8 years ago | on: Rethinking front-end error reporting
In my opinion yes -- being able to actually see the user going through the app before they clicked on the thing that made an error can make a huge difference. Sentry's breadcrumbs are similar, but they don't provide enough context. An actual session recording provide all the context.
anarchy8 | 8 years ago | on: The TED talks empire has been grappling with sexual harassment
This isn't really a political post.
anarchy8 | 8 years ago | on: Understanding redux-saga: From action creators to sagas
redux-sagas are awesome. If you have a complicated web app (and most apps aren't) then it's a godsend. It really simplifies a lot of the business logic. You do have to be careful about performance though.
I just did a cursory glance at Gab and I already found 4 antisemitic posts and that was just on the first page.
