troxwalt··on Thoughts on Svelte(Kit), one year and 3B requests later
Would be interested in seeing how you implemented your filter functionality. So smooth!
troxwalt··on Old.reddit.com Down?
It is quite an amazing idea. Every five minutes a user can place one single colors pixel in the canvas. Subreddits and other groups coordinate and make some interesting pixel art. Worth following imo.

Node and Rails aren't close to the same thing. I would think a better comparison would be Node - Sinatra.

Took a quick look at the X1 line on Lenovo's site. Quite a few of "Gen {x}" labels on the products. Why is a Gen 2 $400 more than a Gen 8?
troxwalt··on Ask HN: What are you learning?
How to take care of a toddler from 5 AM - 8 PM while trying to manage work and phone calls. Then how to not fall asleep while I"m working on projects until 1 AM. So learning how to function on 4-6 hours of sleep.
troxwalt··on NeutralinoJS: Lightweight Electron alternative using native browser controls
Love the idea of shipping something smaller. In your proposed idea, would a user still need to make sure node and express were installed? Or can you have a user download a project folder and initiate the same way they would a typical executable?
troxwalt··on Microsoft 4-day week boosts productivity and sales
I would love a four day work week, but I don't think my child's daycare would be up for that. It's hard enough getting my child picked up by closing time as it is.

troxwalt··on What ORMs have taught me: just learn SQL (2014)
What do you mean by this? What other way , other then digging right into the data is there to access the database? Isn't it all through APIs?
troxwalt··on When to use web workers
Not related to the article, but the design and css styling of the blog is really interesting. Makes use of CSS variables as well as a couple properties that I've never seen before. (--mask, font-variation-settings)
troxwalt··on Google to restrict modern ad blocking Chrome extensions to enterprise users
Firefox just runs so slowly compared to Chrome on my 2015 MBP. I have zero extensions and it's a default install. Such a bummer too. ( I use Firefox on my desktop PC though. )

Is it a case of chicken vs egg? Is it unaffordable for others because tenants do not move out of their affordable housing? Or is it unaffordable for others because tenants can't afford to move out of their affordable housing?
troxwalt··on Show HN: My embarrassing personal website from the 90s
Did the web need to look like this? I was born in '83, and I was super excited to get on the net in the early 90's. Just don't know if we just lacked the ideas or if we couldn't make them look better.
troxwalt··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2017)
As others have said, it's a great idea. My wife and I don't work from home, but it would be great to have a one-stop-shop to find out about classes/programs. Good luck. (And of course, I'll keep an eye out when/if you higher mid-level developers.)
troxwalt··on Verizon closes $4.5B acquisition of Yahoo, Marissa Mayer resigns

In all seriousness, Yahoo! has done an amazing job with their fantasy sports.
