This is the problem with Facebook. Facebook is not the platform; the people are the platform. All the problems Facebook solves for her are problems that the Internet solves, not specifically Facebook, but Facebook just makes it so easy: eve

Sounds like you might be thinking of an anchor element. People ask for the "link" when they mean the URI all the time.

I found it annoying to be forced into a pedantic onboarding tutorial. I decided not to finish it. Can't you wait until I try to do things, like view recipes or build grocery lists, before forcing me into them? I just want to check out

Great list! But I was perplexed by the text editors mentioned. Author claims to be looking at trend data, but seems to have a bias against Subljme Text editor. I don't know if there is some connection to Atom or VSCode, but it seems ea

I've already responded to your previous comments; so I hope it doesn't feel like I'm trying to target you, because you're not the only one who feels the way you do and I can understand where your perspective comes from,

I think there might be parallels here to many other political issues where income inequality is involved.

Sure, but would you agree that state run public education is the current default solution, in countries like Australia, the U.S., etc.? Your point is accurate re: historical perspective, but don't you think you have to take that in

I don't think they were passing any specific judgement on your snowflakes, but rather just saying it's all relative. If you look at the tone and language of your comments, there is quite a bit of detectable judgement and condescen

Well, that's sort of my point. I don't think there is a good solution to empower some entity to decide what values and intents are acceptable. But I don't think the values and intents of parents keeping their kids at home for

But wouldn't trying to solve some of these problems make more sense than a turn toward homeschooling? Maybe get more mature, self-actualized people involved in the lives of all children, not just the privileged ones? I don't see h

I agree on all points except re: the mini iPad. I have no use for a full-size iPad, but I have the 9.7" Pro and Mini 4, which are perfectly sized, in my humble opinion.

I believe it's more of a convenience, and React-based projects are setup for it. You can avoid dealing with the global cascade and there's no need to maintain a parallel set of files for styling; it's all in the JavaScript.

I do think it is meant to be a catchy marketing play on "You Don't Know X" but the author also describes it as a reference to the fact that "knowing" JavaScript can only ever be temporal: No matter how much you fee

I think this is a great idea. I would love to build it, but don't think I have the breadth of knowledge necessary. Does anything already exist like the CLI tool to determine what OS packages are in your project?

Why are you assuming that the labor is free? And regardless if it is or isn't, how is that even relevant? GitHub has no idea how much or how little a contributor is paid for their contributions.
