  Why would their experience be relevant? They’re asking a question, so obviously they have things to learn. You could be nicer about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The forbidden topics of hacker communities⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Then it’s a problem of the platform, if there’s no way to either tag content on a particular topic, which people can filter if they wish, or a place for meta discussions, which people can choose not to visit. I still agree with the OP that simply deleting/forbidding this content isn’t a good option.

  That’s a bit like saying “I’m not interested in compiler warnings, my program works for me.” The issues this article discusses are like compiler warnings, but for the community. You should be free to ignore them, just by scrolling past. But forbidding compiler warnings would not fly in any respectable project.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Humble Tech Book Bundle: Software Architecture by O'Reilly⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I hadn’t bought a bundle in a long time, maybe I just don’t remember it being that bad, but really? Even with the “extra to charity” preset, the charity gets less than Humble themselves? That’s kind of gross.

  GitHub Desktop works well for me and my workflow; even though the Linux version is only supported by the community (possible thanks to it being open source). The UI is very neat and simple. Yet you can do squash, reorder commits, ammend, commit hunks etc. Dark theme available of course! It integrates with GitHub (for PRs mostly) but afaik isn’t tied to GitHub repos.

  Very relevant read: staffeng.com/book

  That’s crazy. Google/DDG bloat from SEO websites had already driven me out a while ago, so I hadn’t noticed. I’ve been using Kagi for a few months now, and I find I can trust my search results again. Being able to permanently downgrade or even block a given website is an awesome feature, I would recommend it just for that.
