andrethegiant··on Astro 1.0 – a web framework for building fast, content-focused websites
That pricing change only impacts private repos owned by organizations — you can still have private repos on a personal account and not be charged.
andrethegiant··on Ask HN: Is there a tool / product that enables commenting on HTML elements?
I cofounded FeaturePeek, where we built a tool to solve this problem. It syncs comments and screenshots to the GitHub/GitLab pull request, so teammates can leave feedback during the development cycle, when devs prefer. We were acquired by Netlify in 2021, and now it’s built in to their Deploy Previews product, available on every pricing tier.
andrethegiant··on What I Miss About Working at Stripe
The post reads a lot better skipping over the 15h days / pizza section. I wish the author had omitted that part.
andrethegiant··on Silicon Valley bets on new transport to counter the rise of remote work
Don’t forget small talk and shared toilets.

andrethegiant··on Safari Technology Preview Release Notes
I wish outline could respect border-radius like in other browsers.
andrethegiant··on The triple dot syntax (` `) in JavaScript: rest vs. spread
OP's OS may have replaced three periods (`...`) with an ellipsis character (`…`), which HN probably filters out in titles.
andrethegiant··on A wild turkey is attacking people in D.C.
In Oakland we had a turkey named Gerald who became more agitated during covid and would attack people in the rose garden. An animal trapper had to dress up as a feeble old woman to capture it. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/nov/25/oakland-turk...

andrethegiant··on Ask HN: At a peak of my dev career, I hate my life
If you’re in the Bay Area and want to grab a drink, DM me @jasbarry
andrethegiant··on Hello Mac OS X Tiger
I didn’t hate it :-) I actually made the Gas widget, which fetched local gas prices. It was a popular widget at the time, and ended up on a slide (amongst other third-party widgets) during the 2006 WWDC keynote.
andrethegiant··on Hello Mac OS X Tiger
Tiger also was the debut of Dashboard widgets, which opened up creating app-like experiences for those who knew HTML/JS/CSS instead of Cocoa (myself included).
andrethegiant··on Twitter Home made me miserable
Tweetbot is free, hides ads, can sort chronologically, and you can filter out other people's likes, retweets, and replies.
andrethegiant··on Will you write HTML with us tomorrow?
Is just a lil bit of JS allowed?
andrethegiant··on California Considers Doubling Its Taxes
Change the title here please dang?
andrethegiant··on Using HTTP Basic Auth in 2022
Looking at that screenshot I bet the password is 1234
andrethegiant··on Your Next Mac
Enough with the VR. Can't wait for this trend to pass.
andrethegiant··on Ask HN: Banned from Facebook/meta services without explanation
You're free! Enjoy your new life.
andrethegiant··on I started a paper website business
The goal doesn't need to be to make money. The goal could just be to think of something new and have fun. And I think the author has clearly done that.
andrethegiant··on English to Emoji – Yandex Translate
Funny, I recently made a site to encode English into emoji. Not just English, any text really. I call it face64 (like base64) https://face64.me
andrethegiant··on Google 20% time volunteers have been rewriting the ITA Matrix flight search app
> using newer web technologies like Angular

surprised that they're only replacing the frontend, and with a framework that many wouldn't consider new

andrethegiant··on Lazygit: A simple terminal UI for Git commands
I guess it takes getting used to, but at first glance, the screenshots of lazygit look more complicated to me than git's normal stdout.
andrethegiant··on Staples Center to be renamed Crypto.com Arena as part of 20yr naming rights deal
It doesn't help that ".com" is in their brand name, especially now that there's going to be a physical place named after it. "Let's meet at Crypto.com Arena" is hard to understand and sounds lame at the same time.
andrethegiant··on PlayDate Fulfillment Delayed
As a pre-order customer, I don't mind the delay. I'm glad they're doing it right instead of rushing to meet a deadline.
andrethegiant··on Compass Pathways' Phase IIb psilocybin trial shows reduced depression symptoms
ECT is not as brutal or risky as it used to be. You can now opt for unilateral treatment (only shocking one hemisphere) rather than bilateral for the same outcome with lessened side effects. I agree TMS should come first, but I think the comparison of ECT to lobotomy is misguided.
andrethegiant··on Show HN: “HTTP 419 Never Gonna Give You Up” for bots
If it redirects then it should be in the 3xx class
andrethegiant··on Remote OK Open Startup
Pieter, why do you use the same font across all of your sites?
andrethegiant··on HTTP Status 418 – I'm a teapot
My favorite part is that the response body can optionally include "short and stout".
