  4. Tell HN: In my entire life, I have never enjoyed a scrolljacking website

    Not once. I don't care how hard you worked on it, I don't care how many web technologies you abused to get it working, I don't care how many hits or views or conversions or whatchamacallits it got for you. If I visit…

  5. Ask HN: What's the best Lisp for a Python hobbyist looking to learn?

    I vaguely remember toying with newLISP [1] almost a decade ago, but I'd like to start exploring the language again and write some hobbyist-level programs in it. [1]: http://www.newlisp.org/

  6. What's a good Linux terminal emulator that doesn't try to reinvent TMUX?

    I don't need tabs, or sessions, or startup scripts or even mouse support. I just need a terminal with good colour support and fast performance, without any of the bells and whistles that are utterly wasted on TMUX users.

  7. Ask HN: For simple layouts, do I need CSS Flex or Grid?

    For a simple one-dimensional blog layout (header -> navigation -> content -> footer), do I need to use these new CSS APIs? Will CSS's default behaviour continue to work in the future, or are all sites expected to use…

  12. Ask HN: Why are there so many companies trying to reinvent the terminal (badly)?

    Every week I see a new terminal app here on HN, and it's always some startup with no good will that's built it on Electron and filled it full of always-online trackers. Why is this a thing, and why do companies think…

  13. Ask HN: What's the modern alternative to WordPress for a non-technical weblog?

    Wordpress seeems to be commonly derided here, so my question is this: what software would you use for the following scenario: - A frequently-updated weblog with images for each post. - A non-technical user who can't or…

  16. Ask HN: Does a static site need anything more than a simple VM running a server?

    I'm an amateur blogger and programmer, running a custom-made static site on a Linode VM with Caddy [1]. I don't use containers or CDNs or anything fancy; my site generator just spits HTML into a folder and I rsync it to…

  18. Ask HN: Is it possible to hire a professional webdev to check my amateur site?

    I run a blog using a static site generator and HTML templates that I created myself [1], but I'm admittedly an amateur and don't have up-to-date knowledge on best practices or modern design patterns. Is there a job site…

  20. Ask HN: How would you download a browser without a browser?

    Theoretically, let's say you have a brand new laptop that is fully functional but has no built-in browser. (You also don't have a phone or any other separate device.) How would you download a web browser without being…

  23. Ask HN: Why are private/hidden methods so popular in OOP APIs?

    As a Python programmer, I heartily subscribe to the philosophy of "we're all consenting adults here" [0]. Nothing should really be private or hidden, because nothing is really stopping a canny user from cracking open…
