   I like async standups on slack. Everyone just post what you are doing today, and if anyone has any questions they can follow up.

   If there are fewer cars on the road because the people who can work at home are doing so, then the commute becomes smoother for anyone who can't work from home.

   Is it a death sentence or do the higher ups just want you to think that? If many people start doing it, the people hiring will just have to accept it. When I was a kid, they said people shouldn't get tattoos because you'll never g

   I was working for a fintech startup and hating it. It was boring and the upcoming work was about 6 months of incorporating a credit card system into the code. I quit that so I could open a music school with two of my friends and bandmates,

   I'm an edge case, but I recently found a part time dev job at a web game that I had been playing for about 2.5 years prior. In the news header of the game they had an headline that came up every few weeks that said "We are always

   There are places in Finland where half the kids cycle to school, even in the winter. Here is a great video on the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uhx-26GfCBU

    I am very interested in this. I have a walking tour app with English content narrated by me. I have a French text auto-translation in the app, but no audio content in other languages yet. This could be a game changer for me. I'll defin

    Luckily there is already a video about that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uhx-26GfCBU The quick takeaways are that there are cities in Finland that are colder than any Canadian city where 50% of the kids rides bikes to s

    Does anyone know how they got a soundtrack tuned to 432Hz? If it was just an existing soundtrack slowed down a bit, that's not going to sound right. Did the study get an orchestra to record a whole soundtrack at 432Hz?

    I would agree with this. At home I walk, ride my bike, get on transit, rent a carshare etc. When I'm travelling, I'm walking or calling an Uber/Lyft. I'll take a train or bus only if it's super easy to navigate.

    Does building a PWA this way support In App Purchases? I would much prefer keeping my app as a PWA, or in my case, a managed Expo React Native app. But eventually I'll have to break it apart to support IAP.

    There is a major point missing from the cons list about PWAs. Most people don't know what they are and it's a major pain to install them on iOS. I'm at the point where I want to start monetizing an app I have, but realistical

    Very noisy. I've flown on them a couple times from Nanaimo. They pass out earplugs to every passenger, and you need them. I think the electric ones will be much quieter.

    I found React Bootstrap way more complicated than just using React and Bootstrap classes. React Bootstrap just adds more overhead to accomplish the same thing.

    I just launched my first free app and was struggling with an approach to monetize it. I just didn't want to pay Apple 30% for displaying in app purchases, when I don't even want in app purchases. I really just want to direct users

    I watch Netflix on my Chromecast and it will play to the end of a movie, and the last episode of a series. I know I've reached the end of the series when I see the names of all the voice actors that did the overdubs in other languages.
