No, have a ridiculously handsome farmhand as an undercover agent, a hot daughter who is torn between loyalties, and a helicopter chase to stop the villain from escaping on his private jet.
While we're at this, there are other domains from which stuff is notoriously being added through a single day and which should already have some restrictions; there's difference from adding interesting content and shameless spamming or as some would prefer "content promotion".
I've joined HN in hope to see interesting IT content, not to be fed by big portals with general news from yet another side.
Medium is encouraging people to put their articles behind a paywall, so many Medium stories are inaccessible unless you log in. Many feel this goes against the spirit of blogging.
I called it years ago: Medium is a magazine with unpaid writers and editors. It was a roach motel to bait everyone into putting their content there with a pretty UI and then paywall it.
Yes but the romantic era of blogging is over. Content creators have to get paid.
I'd rather have paywalls than widespread ads. At least it's the normal arrangement that way: you create something valuable, I pay for it. Very clear cut. With ads that relationship is blurry.
I did not downvote, I was under the wrong impression that all medium posts are under paywall but I checked now ( https://help.medium.com/hc/en-us/articles/360018834314-Stori... ) and it seems the blogger must opt-in into it, so maybe the downvoters also had same impression as me.
Still weird that some person wants to promote some conference and fine volunteers and puts it under a paywall.
1) I'm going to guess that the count of independent bloggers whose primary income derives from their blog is, at best, in the three digit range.
2) I can't speak for others, but paywalls have convinced me to give money to zero entities. I do subscribe to a couple, but making me delete my cookies was not their sales tactic.
3) Completely aside from all that, none of this says anything about HN, and is worth discussion. If I post a link to one of the sites I subscribe to with a larger price tag, where's the line? At what point does it damage conversation? I wonder if, on average, there's less discussion of paywalled links, or if the participant pool is different.
Just as one datapoint, I think Google News should not include WSJ links in the default feed. It is nothing but an ad, which is ironic considering the rest of news.google.com is ad-free.
They allow a couple of articles per month before you hit a paywall. It's frustrating because there happens to be a ton of interesting content (esp. machine learning-related) on Medium and the exact same content could be in a Wordpress or other blog (with a Medium-like theme if you'd like that), and it takes a total of 5 minutes to set up a blog.
As a Facebook-managed project, Yarn's focus is probably more on FB's needs: fast, repeatable builds from centralized package repositories on their own private network.
There's ample room for a federated community project in this space, IMHO. I'd certainly be eager to kiss npm goodbye.
I do have to agree with this article insofar as to what companies are expecting from potential candidates way more than is feasible that's unless the BE and FE use the same language. But as a technical founder you just do not have a choice but to wear all hats.
Improved on my Golang understanding and managed to complete a few projects in it. Embraced Graphql and pushed my not-so-decent React know-how to the next limit. Started hosting my projects on Google Kubernetes Engine and learned a fair deal of it.
