It really depends on the code. To find a CSS bug, yes easy peasy. To find a logic hole in a payment integration of what someone has missed or should have implemented but didn't (eg webhooks), then this requires a lot more time and the developer basically has to sit down properly to work out exactly what should have been implemented / how they would have developed it, and then cross-check it against what has been done, otherwise you won't be able to easily find those logical holes which effectively are bugs, just not simple code bugs like a missing semicolon.

I'm not sure code reviews hold much merit. I've been a web developer for around 12 years and I've worked in companies big and small.

I think there should be a manual QA process to test the functionality of what the developer is pushing out.

The issue with code reviews is always that they take so much time for another developer and many devs are super busy so they just have a quick review of the PR and approve or feel they have to add some comments. Context switching between what the dev is already doing and having to come to the PR to review properly means they should switch to that Git branch, pull down the code, test it all and check for logical bugs that a static code review won't pick up.

For juniors, code reviews are still useful as you will be able to spot poor quality code, but for seniors, not as much for the reasons above, better off having a QA process to find and logic holes rather than expecting devs to invest so much time in context switching.

Honestly sounds like correlation vs causation. I doubt doubt Elixir is amazing - it is. But maybe the old code was just written poorly from a performance perspective, and then they rewrote it, and now it's performant.

Interesting to see what the Government will focus their time on. Obama outrightly said recently that it's clear that a significant portion of the US (and outside of - namely Australia and the UK) is essentially mind-controlled by Murdoch Press through fear mongering and extreme sensationalism - whether that is Fox in the US, Sky in the UK, and a variety of news papers & channels in Australia.

At no point has anyone actually done anything about this, even though it significantly affects peoples views in a negative way through false truths, voting etc.

What about kids with social media and how bad it is for them? Evident through the fact that most people who work at social media companies ban or severely limit their kids from having phones and/or social media. Nope, let it slide.

But the China war with Tiktok? Of course this gets focus. How about they care about the country they actually live in by looking after the people that live in it rather than only focusing on external country threats.

It's sad living outside of the US and watching it fall apart by their own doing. If they cared, they'd focus on their employment rate, homelessness, free quality healthcare, gun control (yes), clean streets, and better education. If they can't solve it with their Military, they don't care.

Have a read of the Alfred website and your questions will be answered.

Care to expand?

Correct, but I prefer to understand the actual downtime experienced by people over the years (eg data centre issues, network issues, unplanned server maintenance) as that data seems hard to find centrally.

That’s great! My experience back in the day with them was the same

This comment is the overplayed take that because a lot are heavy frameworks, that this should be acceptable. As soon as something is classified as a framework, it seems ok to be >200kb.

If you take Tailwind CSS for example, when correctly using their CLI tool, it only includes the size of the css classes actually used, keeping it to a minimum, when compared to people just doing a standard import of the entire library. I like this mentality because it's offering the ability to be very lightweight, or as large as the 'framework' it offers. NextJS offers this as part of their build process, but not sure how big their assets are with it for a simple usecase.

That's his entire point

FYI GA4 was released over a year ago, it seems it hasn't 'stuck' with not many people upgrading, at least with many people I've worked with. It is the default version when you setup a new GA property though.

It'll be interesting to see how Square reacts to this, and how much traction and market share this builds over the next 12 months, if any.

You must be fun at parties

This doesn't look finished, there's still dummy data on the startup pages?

Do you mind expanding on why this is important? As @ezfe says below, it's a public key.

Yeah, but not really the point I was making.

You make great points, obviously focused on the UX portion. I definitely agree. TikToks algorithm is just amazing too, incredibly personalised. Borderline addictive app.

A huge reason for TikToks success that might not be seen by the average user is that they spend a lot of their marketing budget on their content creators. This is something that not a lot of platforms do - they send free lighting equipment and have reps that teach up and coming content creators how to make better content.

I do wonder if YouTube did this more, that they’d get better traction on their other products. People follow the content creators not the platform so if the content creators start using a platform, people will follow.

Just my two cents anyway, for what it’s worth.

Do you say the same to HN?

Worth noting also that "ApolloDigital" cofounder and writer of the article is also the Head of Content & SEO for "Tallyfy". So not sure that constitutes as a client, nor take full ownership of this growth. Not saying they couldn't do it, but seems misleading.

Has anyone used it for any car-related mods? I share my passion between coding and cars so I'd love to push some boundaries there if anyone has tried before? Gauage display from sensor units, just a cool OS display for music, or maybe something cooler?

It's Facebook. The entire world is practically on the site. So yeah, it is newsworthy.

It's back online. But the app was always up as that uses their API, then they did a redirect for the mobile site to m.fb to fix for mobile users.

Nope, because everyone is now talking about it.

News headline reads "Productivity down as people stop to tell everyone about Facebook going down"

Yep - this topic keeps getting flagged too - fishy

Yep - this topic keeps getting flagged too - something fishy

Yes - I've posted this twice but keeps getting flagged. Something fishy here.

As someone who lives in Qld, our Gov't only provides funding to those who are the most connected and don't need the funding. As per the FAQ's section saying they will give the money not to those who it would benefit most, but those who are most connected and have the most experience and successful startups.

With https://LaunchLister.com, I found that the best marketing I did was Twitter surprisingly.

Cater to the audience and engage with the founders and it has a steady flow of increasing subscribers.

I just make sure my newsletter has good content consistently for my readers.

They'd be better off pivoting rather than wasting time on redesigning something no one wants. /end brutality

Ha I love this. Great and accurate poem.
