Sujan··on SPAs are harder and always will be (2013)
(2013)
Sujan··on Apple acquires Buddybuild
Fastlane has pretty good Android support (equivalent to iOS).

And the guy that created it, @krausefx, now actually runs it as a Open Source community project - from within Google where the Fabric team landed after some time at Twitter.

Sujan··on Concertmaster – Classical music front-end for Spotify
Please do. Closing the app didn't work, killing all its processes it didn't work (Win10).
Sujan··on YouTube Demonetization Screenshot Leaks and Secret YouTube Meeting
It’s not even about removing the content - but just not showing ads on it.
Sujan··on High-Level Problems with Git and How to Fix Them
Workspaces please, now.

That would be so much nicer than the current need to fork.

Sujan··on NetlifyCMS 1.0, Git-based content management to static sites
Is there a simple way to test this? Maybe on a site hosted on Netlify anyway?
Sujan··on Bitcoin mining and energy consumption
> It is also easy to make this number look very small:

Most of these comparisons sounded pretty identical to the ones from the "If I had the intention to lobby for a ban of Bitcoin mining, I would use references like the one below" list to me.

Sujan··on NYC Subway travel time map
Shouldn't be too hard I think.

Right now r = 30 min, so just use the circle without the label and scale it down, then add it at the same lines the hour circle is touched: https://github.com/nate-parrott/subway/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93...

Sujan··on Contentful, a Stripe for content management, raises $28M led by General Catalyst
Contentful (and similar services) also _can_ invest lots of time to get a good looking and super usable admin interface that can tackle difficult problems well.

Examples: Sorting of ordered many to many relations, WYSIWYG or markdown editors, workflows, versioning, concurrent editing of items - all the stuff that you don't need for an MVP but if you have hundreds of editors and non dev people working on the actual content.

Played with Directus a bit today.

The "Create content model" UI is definitely not as polished as the one from Contentful or Kentico Cloud - but it works. You have to actually manage relationship tables yourself, which some people might like.

Unfortunately their only trial is for the smaller plan which is limited to 3 tables, and I don't have the energy and motivation to install the Open Source version...

Still interesting.

I asked Kentico Cloud support, this was their reply.

> Kentico Cloud is a SaaS model, so you need to host the application that consumes data from it. I'm not aware of an option where you would host the content management application.

So no self hosted option.

> but it is also open source that you can deploy

Do you have a link for that? I couldn't find anything about self hosting.

(But I did check it out, and it definitely is quite capable!)

Awesome product. And a free developer plan you can actually use for live projects, too!
Sujan··on Hello, world: this is WikiTribune
Wordpress.com is something different than the Open Source Wordpress(.org) that is installed on one's server.
Sujan··on Workers at Amazon's main Italian hub, German warehouses strike on Black Friday
Fair point.

I would guess Slovenia is the most probably "solution".

Sujan··on Workers at Amazon's main Italian hub, German warehouses strike on Black Friday
Just to make clear, I am not on either ones side here. Striking is a right in Italy and Germany, so the employees sure can do it. But the reality is how it is as well :/

> And so will either increase prices or slow down delivery.

Not really. Germany is small enough that it doesn't really matter if you get it from a German or a Polish warehouse (that sits directly behind the border). (Amazon Prime deliveries and similar stuff excluded - but that's a very small percentage)

> Also, I don't know wether Italy has sane strike laws or not, but in Germany amazon would not be allowed to just fire the strikers, and there is and was non-negligible PR fallout from the strikes.

You don't fire anyone. You just don't invest there any more to keep up with your xx% growth every year. You just do that behind the border.

Sujan··on Workers at Amazon's main Italian hub, German warehouses strike on Black Friday
Great way to make sure in the near future Amazon will send packages to Italy from France, Austria, Slovenia or Switzerland - the countries sharing a border with them.

(Same happened - and is happening - in Germany. Staff at logistics centers started to strike (in small numbers). Totally unrelated Amazon started shipping from Poland and Czech Republic)

Sujan··on Show HN: Quickfix, the best stupid idea for fixing problems in Node modules
How (well) does this work in a dependency of a dependency of a dependency?
Sujan··on App Center: Build, Test, Distribute and Monitor Apps in the Cloud
Nothing in the transition roadmap from HockeyApp :/ https://www.hockeyapp.net/appcenter/roadmap/
Sujan··on Kickstarter launches Drip, a Patreon competitor
I was automatically logged in on their domain https://d.rip/ with my Kickstarter account, no redirect happening (as far as I could see).

How?

Awesome domain: https://d.rip/
Sujan··on App Center: Build, Test, Distribute and Monitor Apps in the Cloud
Oh, just saw that https://appcenter.ms mentions Cordova:

> Even more! macOS, tvOS and Cordova

But can't find it inside...

Sujan··on App Center: Build, Test, Distribute and Monitor Apps in the Cloud
> Regardless of how you built your app (Swift, Java, React Native, Xamarin)

Any word on Cordova support? All those Ionic apps (which uses Cordova in the background) would feel very at home at App Center...

Sujan··on AWS: Scaling Up to 10M Users
Great resource.

Now let's talk to the 0 user startups with trivial data with their SOA/microservices, NoSQL databases or sharded data bases...

Sujan··on Myspace looked like it was back, but was a pawn in an ad fraud scheme
Historically if you want to pay _lots_ of super cheap traffic, you get it from porn sites. Not the ones with monthly subscription, but the ones where each click leads you to a new domain with a 50/50 (or 95/5 depending on your "value" [US>Bulgaria, Mac>Linux, ...]) chance of landing on some scam site / ad.
Sujan··on Myspace looked like it was back, but was a pawn in an ad fraud scheme
Another article about this kind of click fraud. And again only lots of details where the traffic goes and how it is then used to "spam" impressions on ads.

Does anyone understand what devices/users are actually going into this "funnel" and where they come from? Botnet? Junk traffic from porn sites? Iframes?

Sujan··on A README maturity model
If this is the intention, then it is a really terrible one. First link sends me 1/3 down the page. This actually only links to the examples, the 10 other (documentation) sections/headlines are missing.
Sujan··on A README maturity model
I actually replied to the wrong top comment here, this was meant for https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15561356. This links to https://github.com/mcohen01/amazonica which is 25 pages printed - and then you definitely should have a TOC just to be able to learn what the content is all about.

If you are doing TOC manually in Confluence you are doing it wrong by the way: Both TOC or links to subpages can be done automatically.

Sujan··on A README maturity model
I like how the project name is formatted as code.

It's missing a TOC though, scrolling through it doesn't give an overview what it contains.

Sujan··on A README maturity model
Depends on where you are rendering the Markdown.

In Jekyll with kramdown you can use {.toc} to get an automatically generated table of contents.

On Github this doesn't exist, so you have to use an external tool like https://ecotrust-canada.github.io/markdown-toc/ (Google "markdown generate TOC" for alternatives)
