I was doing the takeoff tutorial and was wondering why 10 minutes in it still seemed impossible to get to the desired altitude and speed. Turns out they never mentioned that you need to eventually move the flaps back. Once I figured it out

Because the web is moving away from pure content or shop pages to more holistic interactive experiences where you need to integrate content into complex flows that are more application than website. Plus you might want to reuse said content

But is it really true that so many companies create too small services? I admit I haven’t seen too many architectures from the inside but from my experience the problem is usually the opposite: adding more and more things to a monolith that

I completely agree. Often I don't proceed because the point I wanted to make is just not properly defendable at that point. But the ideas written down in the process don't disappear and at the same time I got a better appreciati

I always have to think about that one when I had just been spending 20 minutes trying to formulate an elaborate response to someone's comment, just to proceed to sigh and close the thing without posting it. Probably most of the time i

It's not unusual to have a whole office full of screens and no PC anywhere in sight. Everyone just uses laptops nowadays, which many people take home after work. Then all you have left is desks and screens, and maybe some power adapter

We usually start out with a non working version, using `var` and just returning `i` from the function and then ask what that would print out and why.

I agree. We always put the little 'for loop that creates a list of functions that spit out the current number of the iteration' exercise first in all of our interviews. Generally, when people solved that one fast, they also did

I feel like it's undignified because it sounds to me like saying "You can have money, but since you are poor and don't know how to handle it, we give it to you in small daily portions so you don't waste it all at once.&q

If you get all your money at once you can always have a buffer for these unexpected things. You also have more freedom to waste it all at once, but I don't believe most poor families are really that wasteful. It's just hard to get

I'm not sure how that is relevant at all. We're talking about how a BI system could work and whether it could be a good idea to split the money in tiny daily chunks. I stated that I believe that is a bad idea because I believe it&

by ShellfishMeme 10y ago
This is about the tiny daily portions of money, not about BI. It's hard to make long term plans with that, because instead of putting aside $100 at the beginning of the month, now you need to save $3 a day. With amounts that small, it&

What if your washing machine breaks or your kids need new clothes or your car needs gas? It seems to me with this approach people would be stuck in perpetual poverty even more.

MomentJS is great and offers pretty much everything you need time manipulation wise. That being said, I've spent many hours debugging problems with moment because many operations mutate the 'moment' instance that you're

JS does not have an Integer type, so (x > 0) does not work. Now if you add all those checks necessary to see whether you're actually dealing with an integer here, you get to a point where you cannot be sure anymore whether there are

Linkedin also wanted to connect me with my dead grandfather a few weeks after he died. I'm pretty sure he never had an account there. Felt a bit weird to have that email pop up suddenly.

Because I have no return values to hold on to. Everything in the render function is a side effect. There's no way to collect the intermediate dom representation in data structures and combine it together later. There is no room for asy

Virtual DOM approaches never really were about performance. They are about being able to write idempotent render functions in declarative style so that you don't need to deal with massive amounts of DOM state management. In the end you

Together with my friends, we are living in a large apartment, so there's often one room empty or extra space for people to sleep. We used to frequently host couch surfers, but in the end we have made the most friends and had the best e

Reasonable? For the price it costs to get from Berlin's city center to the airport, you could easily drive your own car to Hamburg - and probably back. I really don't understand why it has to be so expensive. For inner city trips

+1 for the named function expression. I really don't like pure function statements because of hoisting. You often end up seeing functions being used before they're defined which can lead to confusing bugs and hurts readability.

I'd recommend adding some more information on the index page. When I arrived I tried to scroll down hoping to find out what this is about, but instead I had to go to the 'about' page myself. Then I tried to read the 'a
