I own a Surface Book 2 and a Surface Laptop 2. Both are amazing but I find the Laptop 2's keyboard better because of the fabric on it (which sounds bizarre).
Either way, except for some Windows annoyances I really don't miss my MacBooks.
I also get this quite frequently. I setup a Facebook page for a side project of mine that I hope to turn into a sort of side business and I wanted to make sure the name didn't get taken. I get notifications almost EVERY SINGLE DAY that my page won't be visible unless I add more stuff to it. I literally got 3 emails a few days ago, in the same day, saying the same thing for my page.
I feel forced to use Facebook to keep up with friends and family but I absolutely hate using it the entire time and I try to avoid it where possible. It's just amazing how spammy it's gotten and how their popularity continues to just go up.
While I too am anxious to hear the outcome after Microsoft investigates the author still shared something they were interested in of which holds a value to the HN community as many of us love digging into a system and finding issues. This was the main purpose of the article.
Regardless the author may not know how critical Microsoft has classified this issue. It could be something they don't resolve for years. Since the Microsoft investigation and possible patch has no barring on the content of this article I wouldn't expect it to be held until such a time.
I'm sure we'll get a follow up on HN when or if it gets patched. Even better maybe posting this article helps get it fixed sooner :)
Neat though its code could have been significantly simplified through the usage of some focus events and using tabindex to iterate over each field (to a degree; some items would require a little bit more fancy-ness but not much).
Also this page has the biggest html table I've seen in years :)
> would memory have been an issue with the amount of callback chaining required?
Unlikely; you gotta hit a really deep stack to really kill something with callback chaining.
It could have used a start button that sets focus to the first one and then each focus change makes it go to the next but without the setTimeouts it would go by so far it wouldn't be nearly as fun.
I came here to ask the same question. I started working on an idea of my own and I have many friends who are very talented but none that really seem to want to commit to something risky and obviously I don't want to force someone to come if they are not interested in taking the risk with me.
This is the main reason my next application to YC will be solo but I am certainly open (and would prefer) a partner.
Either way, except for some Windows annoyances I really don't miss my MacBooks.
