Aurich Lawson (creative director at Ars) posted a comment[0] in response to a thread about what happened, the article has been pulled and they'll follow-up next week.
Just like in the original thread that was wiped (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47012384), Ars Subscriptors continue to display lack of reading comprehension and jump to defending Condé Nast.
Not OP but the ascii art generator on your site is broken when selecting to generate from text. All the font style options except Standard, produce unexpected output. Using Block font for example, with ASCII as the input:
I just finished book 4, some chapters of which I started skimming (mostly the Venli/Eshonai throwback ones). I want to finish the series but it's such a slow burn it's getting tough, especially when I have other books on my TBR. I'll get around to book 5 sometime next year.
I did really enjoy the first book, kinda want to go read it again.
Ah. I know what you mean about Venli/Eshonai throwbacks. Those gave me a few "ugh here we go again" moments on my read through, but they do build up to give more context about the Parshendi and how/why the current conflicts starts and who they are as a people (trying to avoid spoilers as much as I can). I still think it's a bit of a slog, but I appreciate it a bit more now...
The scripts he wrote to pull the data were written in TypeScript, though all the TS I see is in the parameters in the function signature. Also he used Next.js for the dashboard
I think the GP's point was that the part of the article that's most interesting is the investigation into how the DMV's plate system works. The fact that Typescript was used is incidental (of course this could have been done in pretty much any language), and it's an odd choice to include the language choice in the article title.
Been scrobbling since 2008. I found out what last.fm was thanks to installing Rockbox on my iPod nano, and seeing they had this "scrobbling" feature. Had to remember to plug in the iPod, pull the scrobble log and upload it using a website someone created.
Same here, joined up when GPM was in beta. Still on the $7.99/month. I really only use it for YTM, so if they ever up my price, I'll cancel and use Tidal or Deezer.
