gidanon Accused murderer wins right to check source code of DNA testing kit

That would be implying that the prosecutor would prefer taking the life of an innocent rather than having it hurt his career, making the prosecutor kind of a criminal.

gidanon CodeMirror 6

Take a look at draftjs, it’s an alternative built by facebook (I’m not affiliated with Facebook in any way)

gidanon CodeMirror 6

Indeed there was a confusion, it was ProseMirror. To be more specific about my use-case, I wanted to build a text editor for a forum which allows to embed images and videos directly in the editing zone, in between paragraphs of the text. It’s a rather advanced thing to do for a text editor, and the solution took me several hundred of line of code with draftjs, but it was quite easy to achieve because draftjs api is very solid. Initially with ProseMirror it was a lot of struggling, and couldn’t find a way to do it . I also tried Quilljs, but wasn’t satisfied with it either.

gidanon Disqus, a dark commenting system

If you want a serious paid alternative, there is graphcomment.com, the design is very neat, the team is very responsive to their user base. It’s still a human sized company. (Disclaimer: have been working for that company in the past)

gidanon CodeMirror 6

I tried codemirror and draftjs. Draftjs was actually much better than codemirror, the api for the former is so difficult to deal with, the latter was a bliss.

gidanon Why Clojure? (2018)

Pitch (from Berlin) is using Clojure as well as Reagent with React. From what I saw it's quite a moderately sized app (not a gigantic one, but not a side-project sized either, in between that's what I mean).

gidanon Ask HN: Alternatives to HN for non-Hacker News?

Reading Reddit comments will feels like hell if you’re right winging. You described it pretty well, it’s all about displaying a strong sense of moral, which at the end is translated into a false sense of superiority. « Look at me, I am a good person! »

Looking for a productive developer to boost your project?

gidanon PostgREST: REST API for any Postgres database

Moving business logic lower at the database level. Mainly for better performance at the cost of code more difficult to deal with.

gidanon TailwindCSS v2.0

While it may seems like a great idea, I just finished a project for a client on Tailwind.

First of all it's not free, to use UI components it would cost many hundreds of dollars.

But maybe cost is not an issue for all, on the other hand productivity might be.

I found myself terribly less productive, having many classes like:

  <div class="mt-8 mx-4 flex flex-col items-center font-medium text-base ..."

it's very hard to add or remove a rule compared to CSS where each rule is on it's own line.

Also some pretty significant issue for me was hot-reloading taking a lot of time, whereas in CSS you can just refresh linked stylesheet, with tailwind you need to reload complete page, and if your page is hosted on a Django/Symfony/RoR application in development mode, you better have to be patient at each CSS modification !

gidanon One in five Covid-19 patients develop mental illness within 90 days – study

I identify a lot with parent comment. Had a lot of chronic pain resulting in very intense and sharp pain near the nose, I really thought it was linked to sinus cavities being inflamed.

At the end it was very linked to my mental state, it took me half a decade to figure it. As parent comment is suggesting, slow breathing to remove tensions near your rib cage can help.

The most useful tool for me is to smoke cannabis, I then identify pain points in my body and massaging them with my hand vigorously is effective. Hope it can help people having « the same kind » of chronic pain.

gidanon Ex-FDA Advisor Says of Lasik Eye Surgery: ‘It Should Have Never Been Approved’

I tried multiple ones and always got eyes very dry, life was a pain, then I switched to the most expensive I could find, « Dailies total 1 » is the name. No more dry eyes, problem solved. Each lense cost 1€, but I would even pay more for it to be honest.

gidanon Michel Foucault: Power and Struggle

How machiavelic it is to think everything is revolving around power. I haven’t read Foucault but I tend to think I’m more enclined towards other values, like morale for example.
