Will Yarn ever be merged into npm's CLI? Why does the node community back two package managers?

That's a good library but I had a hard time getting it to work with server side rendering. Ended up having do to a dynamic import with Next.js 3 beta just to get the page to work. This problem affects most mapping libs, not sure if Uber's is any different.

>those massive parking lots in faraway BART stations went underutilized

Have you been to a BART parking lot recently during a weekday morning? Even the stops furthest out on the PBP line have nearly completely full lots.

Tachyons (http://tachyons.io) is another CSS framework that works the same way, more or less.

I think it's likely that it probably doesn't expire, or has an expiry longer than 3 days; saying that the code expires gives a sense of urgency. I'm sure it helps with conversion, as this is yet another step of the onboarding process.

Related, some other adventures while running an API to retrieve IP addresses.

FYI, your landing page breaks on Safari with uBlock.

It's fine to have out of band payments for subscription services on the App Store, so long as it's possible to subscribe to the service through an in app purchase and you don't advertise paying outside the app within the app.

Apple takes these matters pretty seriously, it is their bottom line after all. I once had an app get rejected by App Review because it was possible to buy a subscription from the WebView that opened the Forgot Password page.

Googling shows that they have some deployments but at least as far as I can tell from my network settings (and http://ipv6-test.com) I do not have an IPv6 address. Perhaps they never got around to updating my apartment building.

In San Francisco of all places, neither my home nor my office have IPv6. I wonder at what point the FCC or a similar regulating entity will require IPv6 rollouts (do they even have the power to do that?).

I have Webpass (now owned by Google Fiber) at home and Sonic.net at work.

The Telegram client source is on Github (https://github.com/peter-iakovlev/Telegram) but it seems to be months out of date and they still don't have the source for the server. Even if both were equal on the OSS front, I'd still trust Signal a lot more, especially considering Telegram's homebrew crypto implementation.

Don't make cold brew that often but I have fine results with filling a french press with coarsely ground coffee, room temperature water and sticking it in my fridge for 18-24 hours.

When it's done I just use the metal filter in the french press to filter it, but this is all assuming you're OK with a tiny bit of sediment at the bottom of your cup.

>Files can now be renamed when only the case has changed

Finally, yes. This has been an issue in sublime as long as I can remember and has confused me more than once.

It seems like Ionic (based on Cordova) is still around and kicking. I asked about a year ago in the Ionic community slack room if they were going to rebuild Ionic for React Native, but people there (including some Drifty employees IIRC) seemed more bullish on Ionic because it can be used in the browser to create PWAs. It seems like Expo is quickly becoming the Ionic (and more!) of React Native, but I don't think they are focused on targeting the web.

You can buy coffee from one of the farms here for $96 a pound (~$86/lb if you buy 12 oz).

Not sure if I could stomach paying $6.50/cup for my daily pourover that I make at home, but hey, this is out there.

As someone who used to live in Brentwood, the Brentwood fiber rollout was very disappointing. Sonic used to have maps of their planned rollout that now point to dead links [0]. The house I used to live in was marked as planned to receive fiber by fall 2016, but when I put in the address Sonic says they currently don't service it.

For those who don't know, Brentwood was slated to be one of the first places in the Bay Area to get fiber, mostly because Brentwood required fiber conduit houses built for all developments after 2000, and because its city council was fairly generous to Sonic themselves. I don't strictly blame Sonic here... they took a risk doing this and likely were unable to drum up the support and enthusiasm in the community that would make a true city-wide rollout economically feasible. Seeing Sonic's experience in Brentwood makes me believe that the only way FTTH will be vastly deployed in the US anytime soon is through government subsidy.

Apple has been doing diff updates for a while, meaning that the actual bandwidth consumed for updates is most likely much less than 100mb

>"Integers in JSON data will probably be handled similarly to other unsupported data such as symbols:"

    undefined

I guess their proposal accounted for this by not supporting integers at all. But this could still be possible if you knew a service was coercing a string or similar into an Integer type (using proposed Integer.parseInt).

Reminds me a lot of StrongIntro's (YC W16) website

This is a big reason why YC requires founders to have vesting shares with a cliff (even as a solo founder!). Better to have some agreement than not, especially when cofounder disputes ruin many early startups.

I think for better or worse, a lot of HN users don't like seeing politics on the homepage. Similar posts about other polticians get flagged quickly as well. I don't think it needs to be any more complicated than that.

I do think politics has some place on HN. Some of my favorite threads last year were after Brexit and the U.S. presidential election results, and I was disappointed to see that two of my recent submissions about the middle east were flagged as soon as they began to gain traction.

A comical bit from the filing:

>The CBP Summons ordered Twitter to produce the records to a CBP office in Washington D.C. by 11:45 A.M. on March 13, 2017—the day before the CBP Summons was faxed to Twitter.

Not the OP, but the Nylas mail client is open source.

I used to do that for a few programs but it was always so jarring seeing the transition happen back and forth when I would tab out of Photoshop to the Finder or another app. Now I just disable for an hour if I'm doing color sensitive work at night.

It appears that stories in Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp, and Messenger are all completely separate from each other. If you want to post to all Facebook products and Snapchat, you'll have to do it five times.

edit: Facebook and Messenger may be linked. oops. Well, if you wanted to post to all Facebook products stories and Whatsapp, you'd have to post four times; tons of redundancy remains.

Ah, nice catch. Removing the `/?` makes it work for me. I've emailed the mods to let them know.
