For me it's usually just a cost thing. Some movies I just know I'm going to watch multiple times, certain ones even annually. Clicking buy generally already makes sense if you're going to watch it twice. Wouldn't buy it

Just flat counter fields are terrible in audio software interfaces. Sliders and knobs give you visual feedback of where you are along a line and an easy way to quickly increase/decrease speed when adjusting. Most software I use does st

Yes it would. People have no choice but to read college textbooks. They do have a choice when it comes to the usability of your site. You might not care, but you are not your users.

Oh, it opens a little toolbar with that option. I literally just discovered this because of your comment. This highlights my experience with these controls pretty well... I have no idea what is n-finger touchable or holdable anymore and I j

Couldn't you use something like GitLens for that? I haven't used it in a bit but IIRC it lets you see your changes versus any branch pretty easily. Personally if I do feel the need for a view of what I've touched, I just open

You have no idea whether or not I lack those. If you're going to make a blanket ad-hominem statement like that, at least don't follow it up by agreeing with my point. Nobody is telling you to build things that just "have meri

Grow up. And accept that both have merit. You may not like it but there's a reason languages, tools, companies, products, whatever become popular. And it isn't just because "people are idiots" or evil companies. Console

Fair enough. But no need for the faux-legalese, it isn't clear whether the OP sanitised it or copied it that way. That changes nothing about my comment though, just who sanitised it.

For sure it isn't the perfect solution for everything, and I say that as someone who spends most of their time in either React or Angular now. For application-like development or just sites with tons of interaction it's become as

Good. Innovation isn't the latest framework that barely improves the model and as much as front-end developers like to nit about bundle size, 100kb here and there isn't going to matter for most markets. Honestly between React, Ang

It think it says something that you'd be willing to jump to conclusions. You "learned" it was sanitised and make a point about people willing to alter the truth, then you personally attach some meaning to it. You made up your

My current mornings are pretty relaxed. I wake up an hour before I have to go to work, drink a glass of water, have a coffee while listening to some music and I might be browsing something on the internet. No socials though. Then I fill a w

Take notes as you go or by chapter. If a chapter has a summary at the end, read that first before going through the chapter. If there are code examples, write them out and play around with it. Get the important bits out that way. Also, real

Yeah that's very poor practice. I get why your site may require JS and have nothing for me if I turn it off, but do at least render some fallback with a bit of info so I know what I'm missing, how/where to contact and might b

I suppose that notion went away _because_ of JS and cookies. Looking at it from a business perspective, it's also a matter of cost. How big a percentage of people have JS off (I searched a bit and everything suggests low single digits,

No, we can't. We can't agree on your stance, because other people have different stances. You may have some reason why you want JS and cookies disabled, but many people don't. JS has been a part of the internet for as long as

We used to share designers between teams at a company I worked for. It worked nicely, but the approach has its drawbacks as well, in that the person designing an extension to something might miss a lot of context that the previous person di

It usually works out fine when you do a `git pull --rebase`, but not everyone does this or has it setup so pulling might have some nasty effects. Generally helps to consider a feature branch as a private branch. Don't push to other peo

I commit as clean as possible, each one should be a functioning feature or a part of it. I try to do small ones, so generally they'll just be part of a feature I have on my todo list for the entire feature. That actually helps me to me

I have to apologise to the parent commenter, I laughed inappropriately hard at that. Still, quite confronting to see how much time you have left statistically. For me it got me to change careers. I figured if I still had 30 work left before

Could also be that I'm remembering it wrong, but I recall having some issues with CRA and structuring tests at some point. In any case, CRA sets up a separate src and test folder, so I guess a lot of people just think they should struc

Keep it as flat as possible until you really, really need to structure it. A folder for components and a maybe separate one for pages or containers is probably all you need (and even those you could probably stick in components until some s

If they're using something like create-react-app, it may force that structure on them. I remember in earlier versions it was harder to configure other folders to put tests in. I prefer your ideal structure as well, if you're going

If NATO wanted to go to war, they'd have supported the Ukraine directly from day one and the world would be a different place now. To be honest, I also thought this would end with the two Eastern regions falling under Russian governmen

You probably wouldn't get downvoted if you added some context, but the description of the video is apt. NATO doesn't want to go into Ukraine because NATO directly getting involved could cause escalation to WWIII. Putin seems crazy

It was advisory and non-binding. I for one am happy that we get to express our opinions in this way, but the communication around it could've been better. At the time I recall also not knowing that it was non-binding. Calling it a refe
