ftxrcc··on Google Is Blocking YouTube on Amazon's Echo Show and Fire TV
It's called competition...
ftxrcc··on How we do Vue at GitLab: one year later
Because it works, it's simple (requires not much overhead), and sometimes it's just the best option.

This "hurr jQuery and everything it brought sucks" mentality is not good.

ftxrcc··on US government approves 'killer' mosquitoes to fight disease
I heavily disagree with this decision from the US gov't. It's incredibly arrogant and selfish for a species to try and modify nature for an evolutionary advantage.
ftxrcc··on Django REST framework 3.7 released
Hi, running this in production for a startup (taleship.me). We use Channels + DRF more recently. It works great, no problems there, and Daphne doesn't interfere at all with it.
ftxrcc··on Ask HN: How do you decide between startup ideas?
Suggested reading: Zero to One by Peter Thiel. It's a great book and it goes over this topic.
ftxrcc··on Safari is the new IE
This article barely makes a point for itself. Why is this on HN?
ftxrcc··on Category 5 Hurricane Irma Brings 180-MPH Winds to Bear on Caribbean Islands
Woah. Thanks for the wishes.
ftxrcc··on Category 5 Hurricane Irma Brings 180-MPH Winds to Bear on Caribbean Islands
Thank you!
ftxrcc··on Category 5 Hurricane Irma Brings 180-MPH Winds to Bear on Caribbean Islands
It was expected to go north today. Unfortunately, all models were wrong and it actually is coming much faster to our direction, and it keeps getting stronger. I'm legitimately scared.
ftxrcc··on Category 5 Hurricane Irma Brings 180-MPH Winds to Bear on Caribbean Islands
For sure. Vieques and Culebra are going to have a seriously difficult time.
ftxrcc··on Category 5 Hurricane Irma Brings 180-MPH Winds to Bear on Caribbean Islands
As a Puerto Rican preparing for Irma, yes, we're pretty freaked.
ftxrcc··on Gnu Privacy Guard relies on one underfunded person (2015)
I was thinking exactly this. Any calls for help to any person would just be called socialism and get shot down immediately.
ftxrcc··on A Floating Mass of Fire Ants in Texas
Never thought I'd see Ants Canada on HN. It's a great channel!
ftxrcc··on “This project violates the MIT license of Gemstash”
This looks more like a case of Google hate more than a MIT license violation. I've looked at the repos and as others mention, the project is not a fork but a wrapper and they share no code. Others have also mentioned that the author of the issue has made clear his dislike for Google. Combined with the throwaway account posting to HN 30 mins after, this smells fishy.
ftxrcc··on Oni: An IDE powered by Neovim
"incredibly fast"

What

ftxrcc··on Android Oreo
They're not out of touch with what their customers want. Many of them didn't like them because of the whole "Android is cheap" dilemma (which is BS). The users asked and they got. The people who did like them are a very small, specific, yet vocal group of people.
ftxrcc··on Analyzing Django requirement files on GitHub
Team 2% unite. 1.11 rocks.
ftxrcc··on Kik Messenger App Debuts Own Digital Currency Amid Bitcoin Boom
It's trendy. I don't see any reason why a chat app like Kik should make a crypto currency, other than "it's trendy and hip".
ftxrcc··on FBI Used Best Buy's Geek Squad to Increase Secret Public Surveillance
Very low quality comment. Millennials are among the best informed of the issue.
ftxrcc··on Discovering Gnome 3: My experience, and why you should give it a shot
Thanks for pointing out the bug!
