RetroPi + [8bitdo N30](http://www.8bitdo.com/n30pro-f30pro/) controller is the best gaming box I've ever owned.

If the company or client makes a point about me being a minority or begins to tell me about their diversity or inclusion efforts, that's a hard-pass.

I can't wait for the HN comments telling you you're wrong even though it's lived experience because they want a place where they can spend their tech windfall before it's "ruined" by Americans.

Yeah, simply the playground of rich Americans instead of a piggy-bank for a corrupt government that executed political opponents and routinely jails dissidents.
But yeah, it was a darker time in the 50s.

> Did you know that neither mpv or mplayer bottles ship with libdvdread support?
Maybe because Apple doesn't ship a computer with a DVD drive and hasn't for ~5 years?

Having everyone's code break is not the greater good

Our studio, Marquee (https://www.marquee.studio), has an in-house publishing platform called Proof (https://www.proof.pub) that we started back in 2012 which couples fully customizable editorial tools and content model, a headless CMS, and React/Serverless based SDK to compile static websites specifically for editorial and content marketing teams. An example that was designed by our team and managed through Proof that HN is probably familiar with is The First Round Review (http://firstround.com/review/).
It's a similar approach that Netlify has put together and works great. Can't advocate for it strongly enough.

Reminds me of Guag.es https://get.gaug.es/ or https://haveamint.com/ if you want to dig into the crates a bit.

This is pretty brilliant and fits an immediate need we have. Signing up today.

I think what happened is a lot of people in our cohort figured out how to use the trolling techniques honed on forums and in flamewars on the general public. You can see it reflected across the web now in ways that have caused real, lasting damage.
And while I agree that we're the first digital natives, I think what screwed the pooch was a massive influx of boomers into social networks, and everything that comes from having a bunch of non-digital natives suddenly being given tools they weren't ready to handle.
Who knew a textarea and a notification system could become so troublesome?

For content-driven websites, static sites are great regardless of editorial complexity. We (https://www.marquee.studio) build editorial tools that connect to our headless CMS (https://www.proof.pub) and compile static websites to be distributed on a CDN. Sites load quickly, and it's a much safer to have your CMS decoupled from the eventual editorial product.
If you read [The First Round Review](http://firstround.com/review), you've seen it in action.

> It’s amazing that such simple websites from 1969 survive modern browsers, yet Facebook cannot fix zoom on Safari...
Shut it down, go home everybody. We've hit peak HN.
This kind of hyperbole is exactly why we have the president we do.
