I think this is a hard problem to solve for a couple of reasons. - Skew of supply and demand. There will be always be another musician willing to earn less money because they still get to do their ”dream job”. - The need for background musi

I wonder if we’ll ever see a computer assisted style in esports, like what exists within chess. Bring your best cheats.

A quote from a jazz theory book comes to mind. Goes something like this: Jazz is 99% theory 1% magic. The difference between the greats is that they’ve forgotten all the theory

I don’t remember where I read this (think it was some published paper) but I was building some audio streaming thing on top of WebRTC and there was an estimate that 60% of people would be able to do p2p.

Actually reimplementing something that’s already exists is a great way to get an understanding of it precisely so you can deal with the questions you mention. My rule of thumb is that you should always understand at least one level of abstr

As a kid I acquired my parent’s login to the school platform meaning I could call in sick myself. However one day I actually got sick so they had to call it in which means they would’ve seen all previous calls. So I downloaded the HTML for

My biggest gripe is touch interfaces on stoves. You constantly spill water or other things.

I’m very much teaching the same thing - an eight week introduction to JS (after 6 weeks of HTML/CSS). My approach was to lead with one week of unplugged programming just introducing the concepts of CS. Then introducing the fundamentals

The word safe here is doing a lot of heavy lifting imo. Not necessarily safe as in physical safety but also contractual safety. An example is pension where companies not under collective agreement tend to not specify pension in contract rat

I just resigned from my job as a software engineer (~9 years of experience) without having another job signed. Best decision I have ever made. The second I did was the second the curiosity and eagerness to learn things came back.

Indeed. It’s really a bummer that “frontend engineer” has more become synonymous with “react engineer”.

Not sure if this is what you mean but built in “masonry” support is now part of the CSS spec (barely any browser support yet though. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_grid_la...

I’m still looking for a lightweight solution (no react etc) that lets me write normal CSS but scoping it to an arbitrary part of my HTML tree. Most of the time I’ll be working in a partial where I know what generic names such as .container

I’m a teacher mainly for front end development. One of the courses I added this year is called The Ecosystem of the Web. The brief was that they have to propose a new feature of the web and explain how it would end up being something you ca

I’ve found the opposite work for me. Finding silly pun names early greatly improves the chances of me finishing it.

Don’t know too much about the Canadian market but isn’t the convenience of not doing something illegal and it being easily accessible worth paying for. That’s why streaming service’s completely beat out piracy

And on that note the ”trick” to being more experienced is being able to anticipate what’s coming up next and already have a mental model for how to solve that. Easier said than done though

Isn’t a debate by definition two sides trying to convince a 3rd party which side is correct. The sides involved in the debate will never back down. A discussion on the other hand is when both sides just try to reach the “best” conclusion. U

> In every case they said they were in a hurry and that they would “fix it later”. This. We need to stop using time pressure as an excuse to do a bad job. Moving things out to a separate function might add 10 min but save 100x when every

I feel like the biggest reason why REST failed is because it’s just not useful from a business point of view. Like how will I put my logo and brand colors over all of this.
