Releasing a new iPhone every year at this point is stupid, innovation has slowed right down, but Apple aren’t going to turn down the free FOMO money.
Not practically. That works up to a number like three. Are you really going to manually poll every account you care about?
I casually browse GitHub sometimes in the same way I do HN. I follow friends and colleagues and through the feed see what they're building and starring. I use global search to find tools and libraries that do what I want.
Sometimes, I come across a repo I like that's on say GitLab, but not GitHub. I quickly forget about such projects because they live in my bookmarks instead of my stars list.
>I find the social tools on GitHub like PR reviews, issue management, and notifications
I don't consider these social features, at least not in the way I'm talking about.
I went on holiday to Spain and found they have a lot of pretty decent Japanese restaurants for some reason.
I wanted to leave GitHub but I'm still stuck there. What it would take for me to finally leave is some kind of federation of the social features, so I can port my stars over, see what others are working on, etc.
I can’t fathom why anybody would want to continue working with dynamically typed languages when they can now get types for free.
The hashing is just elaborate obfuscation. Anubis uses SHA256 which isn’t ASIC-resistant, and thanks to Bitcoin you could probably buy one off the shelf.
