Not sure why this article made it to front page, but fwiw, I used to work as a research engineer in a role where using a confocal microscope in clinical trial settings was a regular part of my job. AMA :D

+1 I'm also confused about this post. What does 'steal their tokens' mean in this context?

FFS. I've been fighting uphill this past 5 years to get my colleagues, friends, and family onto Signal. This single decision will tank any hope I have of keeping them there. Literally the only reason I'm able to convince non-privacy advocate types to switch to Signal is because it is a drop-in replacement for their existing SMS application.

This decision is idiotic and will cause a mass migration off the platform. Why not take a better approach and work on a better UX to make it clearer when a message thread is secure or not?

Haven't seen any root-level comments asking, so I'll throw this out there: Are there any good alternatives to YouTube?

I've been making tabletop game to enter into competitions (there are lots running!) and my significant other has been experimenting with making home-made ice-cream and sorbet :)

This is an intentional design decision in the language - not having lambda functions / functions as first-class citizens makes the code easier to optimize internally.

This is a very interesting idea and looks like a promising execution - I may try this with one of my repos. I have a question: it seems the only license options are IP-locked. What if a developer wants to issue non-IP locked licenses to paying users? This is a feature I would consider enabling - is that something you will support in the future?

Hi! Thanks for sharing. I would love to know what an 'Exponential+ Trend' is. It's no clear from the landing page and I can't find any links to more information about this. Congrats!

Amazing success story! The game is really fun! You should challenge him to add mobile support via accelerator!

I've read the front page and FAQ section but I'm still not 100% clear what this product is. Is it an active noise cancelling app that listens to your environment around the laptop and cancels noise out (like Bose QC25/35 headphones)? Serious comment - I think you need to explain this better on your site.
