No we aren’t the best mammals at swimming but, definitely the best primates. And I think the argument is that the theoretical aquatic ape spent much more time in water than the typical bear.

While a new story and characters ie Warcraft 4 would be awesome I actually really like this idea. WC3 is a perfect game, refreshing graphics is the only thing I really want and maybe this will get some younger people to try a game they migh

Not that it matters but I interviewed for an Apple team that was using react. Something adjacent to iTunes if I remember correctly.

Apple has spent ~30 billion on share buybacks this year so, I’d say pretty shareholder friendly.

Firefox dev edition has been my go to lately, highly recommended if you do a lot of markup / css debugging. Being able to see outlines around elements as I hover / scan through the DOM easily doubles my speed.

I’ve been using Firefox Focus with DDG on mobile for about a year and don’t miss Chrome even a little.

Siddhartha by Herman Hesse for its portrayal of a spiritual journey / life that was not a ‘religious’ one. This was a book I read in my early twenties that really helped me come to terms with a religious upbringing that no longer reson

Java for me. I started using it at my most recent job and was a little horrified initially at what I was seeing in our codebase. The syntax does you no favors when in comes to code formatting. I also had reservations about the overhead of a

I totally agree there is no way these had any real impact on voter turnout. To me these read more like sowing the seeds of division in general than anything else.

I recently had an amazon delivery person submit that they had delivered my package even though they hadn’t. Prompting me to go through the stolen package process, only to find the package on my doorstep a couple days later. Definitely don’t

I can only speak for me as someone who really loves the aesthetics of code, but there's something super enjoyable about things like arrow functions rendering as actual arrows in Java / JavaScript. It's so clean!

Can't recommend MiniHack highly enough. Love the scroll down to next comment tree feature, just to name one.

Perhaps the larger percentage of founders has more to do with the substantially smaller student body and shorter track record of the university. Daniel Kahneman touches on this phenomenon in "Thinking Fast and Slow".

I don't think learning React is analogous to learning to build client server apps any more than jQuery is. I personally have worked on many static React websites (which is a blast by the way).

I definitely wouldn't assume that a JS newbie knows the http fundamentals. That definitely wasn't the case for me when I started learning. You can get a lot done on the web without really understanding what you're doing.

I don't know why but the "professional" label on this really irritates me. I'm curious to know how the images that got graded on their "professional" scale were selected for inclusion in the sample. Surely by a

So much nostalgia in those logos! One thing that struck me looking through those old sets is just how timeless Legos really are. I inherited many of the 70s-80s sets from an older cousin in the 90s, that were subsequently used by my younger

Demos look good, and at first glance this might be the most easy to grok animation api I've seen for react. Excited to try this out!

My favorite way to learn a new topic (which consistently works well for me) is to read several books about the same topic back to back. I find that if I read three books by different authors on let's say React for example, which are al

Surprised no one has mentioned The Tim Ferris Show. That's my #1 right now. He's got a really eclectic but also well thought out guest list and I learn something useful every episode. His recent episode with Nick Szabo was the cra

As a resident of Oakland CA, easily one of the graffiti capitals of the world, my take on this is a pretty simple one. Super aggressive buffing campaigns by the city. Businesses on Broadway in Oakland will actually be fined if they don&#x27

I'd say JS essential reading would be: 1. JavaScript the good parts - because classic 2. You don't know JS series - because depth 3. Functional JavaScript - because underscore Then you're done. Go find a Node or front end fra

I think you're right on with B. As a photo professional I'd say 4K 60fps video is the number one feature a camera can have these days. Enabling every photographer to also be a cinematographer. Canon and Nikon just aren't keep
