I have more nuanced takes on lodash too but I'm putting them in another reply to separate them from the big picture stuff I already mentioned. Lodash also differs from the standard lib's implementation, notably it's too permi

Lodash has two values, a bunch of utility functions and it works cross browser. The most common utility functions are now standard issue in es6+. And a transpilation build process is a superior way of dealing with cross browser incompatibil

Hacker News should have stronger antibodies to content marketing. This one is even easier to spot because it recommends lodash in 2018

I was on all the social media but took the plunge and deleted them all. Some things I visited to blow time like imgur have infinite scroll in their apps but are paginated on their mobile site, so I just visit the mobile site and stop after

The land is probably more valuable than the building configuration. It's a little different from the pipe example in that way. You can't easily tear up the pipes and do something else with the pipeway, but you could demolish a mal

Stopped using any feature with infinite scroll implemented. It's the common thread between social media feeds, app store lists, streaming services, etc. For sites like HN I stop after the first page. I was bored at first but then I sta

I like to keep evergreen lists for everything too, I'm curious what software you're using? I've shoehorned lists into evernote and trello before but ultimately their uis are about doing something else

Just like SF has microclimates for weather it also has them for compartmentalizing the city's various problems. Fidi and east cut (or whatever realtors are calling it now) don't have feces, needle, and tent problems. It does have

The article really undersells criticism #2 (they block sidewalks). In their short time in SF I saw scooters laying down in the middle of sidewalks, blocking bus stop curbs, left in tight construction corridors, left in front of building ent

I think you can get by with adding timestamp support to a single feature flag. So the code has IS_PREMIUM everywhere but when you add a new use of it you also manually record the time. Since you know the expiration time of their license you

Not an external resource but I've identified that there are thought tools I continually apply in my own thinking to gain new perspective. I started writing them down and organizing them which has immediately benefited me and maybe one

They all start with the idea of monetizing an underused resource (cars, houses, curbsides) with a novel business model whose goal is to dance around existing laws. I don't know of a word that captures what feels like an arbitrage-ish a

I used Haxe and NME years ago to build an Ouya (RIP) game. I was coming from actionscript and it was a delightful language. Glad to see it's still evolving. That game project was a blur of haxe, java, and c++ due to Ouya's infancy

You say you've shown no hate yet you reply to my support of this acquisition with a comment that quickly dismisses my enthusiasm as misplaced hype. Now you provide advice when I didn't ask you for any. I don't know you. You d

We can assume Microsoft's motivation is money, they have a long history of selling professional solutions to development teams, I'm a developer with a team on GitHub in need of solutions, and I have money. It's Microsoft&#x27

I'm excited by this. I feel trapped between Google who will give everything away in exchange for spying on me, and Apple who will respect my privacy but shake me upside down with the most ridiculous vendor lock-in tactics. I'm gla

Watched about an hour so far and this is fabulous. The talks very clearly outline the bounds of the problem space (known and unknown) and then start going region to region. The goal is to perceive the texture of the knowledge domain. This i

I've made reddit more enjoyable in the past by using plugins that auto collapse comments past depth 1 or 2. On avg, conversation devolves past that point. I've since quit Reddit but comments here have convinced me to take a second

I think the climate has a big role in this. In NYC you see the same homeless ppl for about a year, then the hard winter weather hits and they (hopefully) head somewhere warmer. NYC citizens don't have these difficult conversations that

This doesn't explain why IRC can't compete with Slack or the other corporate messaging services. Slack was a side project by a failing game company. Its growth was largely organic. I think the original premise is right that user e

I would love it if people who think SF's homeless problem is easily solvable would create startups to solve it. Unfortunately they're all busy making the fourth, fifth, sixth, electric scooter company

SF already has those things. The bathrooms are expensive because they need technology that prevents ppl from hanging out in them, so they automatically lock down and power wash the inside after every use. The sidewalk cleaning is also expen

Honestly I left Facebook to get away from ppl like you who turn every post into a chance to judge me against some unwritten moral code. Who needs enemies when you have friends on Facebook? So it seems the candle is burning from both ends.

It sounds like you live for the future but don't have any vision of what that future is or know why you are trading your time now for time later. You could try living in the present more. Alan Watts' The Book is a good way to expl

I've heard the movie plot twins phenomenon is because multiple studios will want a script and start assembling a team around it but one will outbid the other for the rights to the script. The losing studio will then pay a ghostwriter t

I'm surprised at how well Google's awful little autodialer has been received. None of us like when we call a number and are handled by an automated script on the other end. But we are immediately okay with deploying an automated s
