Well, not quite. I also spent some time in LA on a different trip. It was a while ago (so not an adult perspective) but mostly I remember walking through carparks and hundreds of channels with nothing to watch. Seattle was a bit nicer as a

What really put us off was arriving after a long haul to a queue that filled the immigration hall, then proceeding to wait for two hours while the three desks (out of about 12) tried to process about three flights worth of people. That and

I live in New Zealand with family in the UK. I have spent the last 10 years flying the other way around the planet instead of via LA because the airports are worse than places like Malaysia. I can't speak to living in the USA but I hav

This is a particular dilemma I've tried a lot of different approaches for. One thing the article didn't touch on is what happens on responsive, where often margins can change multiple times between desktop and mobile. For a while

How do you handle responsive with inline in react? Case switching in js?

On the dark mode thing, another way to do this is using css variables like --color-foreground for example. The whole site can have dynamic colour themes with minimal effort after that.

Also a Rails guy but have found Node is quite a good fit for async work like managing email queues. Would use Phoenix but don't have enough production experience in it yet..

Funny, I have polar opposite opinions about those examples. I hate loud music in bars because I love to have deep random conversarions, but the last thing I want in the gym is someone talking to me.

I could be interested in writing one, having just written a semi complex wishlist management app with some overlap in user management features. Would nodejs suit a project like this do you think?

The difference between a Tesla and an rs200 accelerating like that is the Tesla does it with zero drama. An rs200 Is not a daily driver.

Is that better or worse than allowing all sorts of unregulated crazy behaviour via free market incentives? I'd rather imperfect regulation and tweaking lobbying rules than toxic waterways etc.

Yeah my secondary point that I deleted was that it's the sims that are regulated. Isn't that closer to regulating an ISP? But then a cellphone is more like a computer or iPad, so all these analogies are a stretch.

by pixelbash 7y ago
Are cellphone or walkie talkie manufacturers regulated because those devices can be used to run drug rings? It's easy to make analogies to draw a range of conclusions. Social platforms are given a hard time for being walled gardens, bu

I've found that it works this way for a while, but as fitness rises getting that same bone deep exhaustion gets quite difficult (at least without spending hours on it). Is there a way to switch things up and keep that going long term?

This is the first time i've connected running a company to poor sleep quality. Jeeze what a wake up call. Thanks!

The hook that got me started on Vue was being able to straight swap with a previous two way dom binding library (rivets.js) and continue from there, I've found Vue to be incredibly easy to pick up, and very productive now I'm up t

In the natural history museum London fake ivory is used due to theft concerns (says as much on the signs), might be the same here?

Its true I am not the me I was at 5, or 10, or 15, or 20, or 25. But the observer was there, and the observer very much wants to keep observing.

That is very cool, I've owned a few bikes (all Japanese) with years from 1991 to 2013. It has been fascinating to compare how carbs evolved through CDI to ECUs, and how bikes are designed to be somewhat maintainable while being more co

While I quite like the term artisan in some ways, mechanics do not build new things. You could call a maintainer a digital mechanic if you really wanted I suppose. From my perspective software engineering will become more like engineering i

VS Code has just come out with a Microsoft team SFTP plugin. It's pretty good, search even works. Seems to fix almost all the issues I tended to get using sshfs. Recommend giving it a shot. Side note in 2012 my boss forced me to use Dr

Cultural whiplash takes many forms. This kind of dualist thinking minimises one take to promote another. Shouldn't we be able to consider two (Or more) things to have merit at the same time? In the words of Bender, you want me to do tw

This is more of a risk in places where red light running is endemic. Sadly here in Auckland is rapidly becoming one of those places.

> Leaving all the other cars next to you in the dust is quite antisocial behavior actually. As a motorcycle rider I disagree, it's the safest option for us. I get that not everyone is pleased about it, though.

If the police were to treat everyone equally you would see a lot more police hanging around at offices and work parties.
