From my experience this is true because the team is so focused on getting the backend business logic sorted out, catering to new customer demands, that they develop new features overnight. Then just assume the front-end will consume it and

What a hideous mask. I find it hard enough communicating via mask with strangers on the street. There's an anxious feeling that goes with the proximity and the infractions of social distancing. Now imagine all that while looking like S

Neuromancer is cool. Some would say it's the seminal book on cyberpunk, though I don't know how dated it feels now. There's an excellent HN thread on this very topic that I'm sure you'll find value in: https:&#x2

The subgenre of cyberpunk has always drawn me into the myriad of plausible, social issues (if done right), and paints a vivid, sometimes disturbing vision of the future. I don't know exactly why it is I'm drawn to this subgenre sp

I'd argue that life is too short to use no-script. And why point the finger directly at web developers. Product managers throw a requirement over the fence and web developers figure out how to satisfy their wants, while squeezed into s

I have to agree with this, but I think insecurity may affect junior developers more so than their seniors. Most of the new, in-demand tech that companies require of their applicants can be learned within a week or two, to be able to success

Our company recently did this and our best developer left. I now have no one to talk to about best coding practices, new technologies, or other fun concepts. Just a bunch of overseas ticket jockeys trying to avoid lashings.

I'll argue that using an Android-based tablet with the latest "digital well-being" features are superior to any e-reader. A few things on this worth noting: - Making notes / taking highlights. The touchscreen navigation

I believe I read the same example in 2600 quarterly some years back, in which the metadata was described and scrutinized in greater detail. It was impactful enough at that time for me to recall even today.

Agreed with "the modern way" to rewrite React code. Not simply for the sake of keeping current with version changes, but for one, to make sure your engineers are not constantly switching mental models between React Classes, HOCs,

Some features of reading my books on an android tablet are the ability to lookup words with the dictionary service, and to sync all of my notes automatically to google drive. Does anyone know how the reading features of the R2 stack up in t

Ah, I thought we were just about due for a revisit on the importance of Deep Work. I'll take this an an opportunity to paste one of the highlights from the book I found to be interesting: "As the journalist Daniel Coyle surveys in

It's most likely in the context of an agile methodology - "a time-boxed iteration of a continuous development cycle. Within a Sprint, planned amount of work has to be completed by the team and made ready for review." The plan

I remember, as a 13 year old with newly acquired PC, spending most of my summer playing this game into the early hours of the morning. The conspiratorial story branches and gameplay were so compelling to me at the time, I didn't feel t

The knowledge-gap of closures is simply an indication that you need to solidify your Javascript foundation prior to understanding hooks. I only see this as a benefit.

There is a whole industry geared to those who "might be intimidated getting going". This often leads to being stuck in 'tutorial hell', where one never has to feel intimidated and never lets go of their instructors hand.

You can only 'prove' what you expect from your design. This works in most cases and saves a lot of guesswork on big, unfamiliar projects. It's not an integral part of JS though, so I wouldn't recommend learning it as a f

Thanks for the summary on Gibson's new work. I really needed some clarification because I couldn't really get a sense of the plot in this one (Agency). The characters don't really have an impact on anything...They do nothing

Eric Weinstein most recently explained his Kayfabe theory on the Joe Rogan podcast, in this Episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wf0_nMaQ6tA He also makes reference to this particular article.

This remark reminds me of the book, "Seveneves" by Neal Stephenson. He plays with a similar 'what if?' doomsday scenario. Around 80% of the book revolves around testing and pushing humanity at it's extremes.

I'm currently reading Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson and it's quite lengthy at 1300+ pages. Not only that, but there are some interesting digressions along the way, some which have gotten me interested in very basic cryptography

I think it means that like JS Objects, two hipsters are never equal, even if they have the exact same properties.
