I use it every day, sometimes for hours. Once I embraced that fact that my family goes to bed before I do, I use it watch all of my "nerdy" shows at night. During the day it's been really great for having a large desktop that

This is exactly how it happens at my house. I purposely stick to to the $20-$40 boxes for this reason. Over $100, that's not a toy anymore for me. That price range becomes a collectors figurine.

This is basically the Linus Torvalds method. We could take a page out of FOSS here.

I'm imagining the amount of energy required to power the datacenter so that we can produce isEven() utility methods.

Just ban social media entirely. You would find a lot benefits to society for doing exactly that.

I keep reading comments that claim GenAI's positive traits, but this usually amounts to some toy PoC that very eerily mirrors work found in code bootcamps. You want an app that has logins and comments and upvotes? GenAI is going to loo

I've had this conversation a couple of times now. If AI can just scan a video and provide bullet points, what's the point of the video at all? Same with UI/UX in general. Without real users, then it starts to feel meaningless

Anyone else see these types of announcement posts, and it's like they already have thousands of users? Where do y'all learn about these projects so early?

This feels like disabling unit tests in order to get tests to pass. I've yet to see this strategy not blow up later.

I have read many comments on this thread pointing towards other calendar libraries. I appreciate projects like this because I believe it's healthy for our industry to rethink "solved" issues. You put a cool spin on this topic

Not that I believe the OP's statements, but I think the idea is that 'inclusive' cultures live at the intersection of many circles rather than their union.

I'm in the same situation as you. Though I think the major factor is that the physicality of handwriting the notes helps me.

I used Ramda for 3+ years. I like somethings but overall wouldn't pick it up again. FP in general makes it really easy for people to write inefficient passes over data. In addition, debugging or code reviewing ramdajs code can be painf

The thing I hate about all of these GoG approaches is the wastefulness of the translation of data + style into visual representations. For example, if you have a dashboard with 8+ charts visible, the scaffolding of the charting library star

Ex-googler here. I hated the promotion process with a passion. 20 pages of "evidence" which is usually just links to green/blue docs, CLs, and just flowery puff language to argue your case. My org skipped the promo committee

Yeah I'm also confused why making multiple unrelated changes is celebrated with a special gitflow. Two changes == Two PRs.

This is fantastic news as my wife has been complaining about scalpers on apps like Mercari and Poshmark.

I agree. However, having just recently replaced a couch from a chain retailer, I can attest that they are pretty much made from paper mache.

You could bring a TON of value to a company and get paid peanuts. Let's not assume a just world here.

From my experience the ones pushing for these ideas are the fresh grad PMs trying to do something big for "perf". The whole platform feels like Waymo, driverless.

With its approval, I'm going to ask my pediatrician to get them to approve use in our younger kid.

Great. When can my younger kid get it?

I am forever in awe of the engineers that can work with the low-level bits and make things like this happen. I'm a deer in the headlights whenever I see addrs and `eax 0xDAFAC000...`

This is why I don't interview at FB. I always told people the interviews I've had with FB just seems ridiculously off. Your story kind of corroborates that.

I'm really glad someone can articulate what I've bee thinking for a long time. It started when I realized that bitcoin was being used to fuel dark markets then again when I saw that anyone was able to make a coin and pre-mine thou

Props to the founder, but what is this article supposed to achieve? Nothing stood out about the process this app/company took. The website seems filled with ads and similar articles.

As a Millennial, I don't know a single person who doesn't like mayonnaise. Considering new high-fat diets like Keto are very popular among millennials, I am especially confused at the authors conclusion. Mayo seems more liked then
