Look at your analytics and see which browsers your users are using. Sometimes, I’ve worked on apps without a big userbase but we had to support IE because a big percentage used it. You’ll probably find out that you don’t have too many brow

Can’t believe they didn’t include “intimate partner violence”. OK, I can believe it but it’s the dumbest, least understood term I’ve ever come across. For nstance, IPV usually doesn’t involve “violence” or at least what normal people consid

As someone who started off in Ember and then began developing in React: I've never liked React Router. IMO, the url is best treated as data because it doesn't work well as part of the presentation layer. The interesting part (for

Yes. It makes you better. The data provided shows it doesn’t make you as much better as other things but experience will make you better.

Hopefully not that but it could happen. Typically you’ll have a lock up or the company has a right of first refusal to repurchase the stock.

This reminds me of a job I had while starting my first business after college. I was a bar-tender for a catering company. We did a lot of fancy parties so a big part of my job was pouring Champaign and putting it on a tray for the servers t

You ain't kidding. Jobs gave people the choice of good, better, or best. That was it. 3 options and you probably already knew which one you were walking out with.

I have zero information on how X (i.e. Musk's holding company for Twitter) is structured but it's possible to issue stock in a private company. The difference is that you cannot sell that stock on the public markets and need to fi

I know one insider at Meta that I could ask about this. I suspect they can't really retain talent like they used to. The only other anecdote I have is an acquaintance who was early (i.e. the first web-dev) at YouTube. He _hated_ workin

What valuation? Per the article, it's being delisted and taken private. Which, may attract talent who wants to build something for the long term rather than being pinned to quarterly reports. My money would be on software developers wi

I think this is a huge part of his success. That clarity makes buying simpler for customers. You get the color that your device is supposed to be. Period.

My first impression of OP’s post was that it’s not going to be supported by corporate culture. Optimizing for quarterly profit isn’t going to align with an employee optimizing for personal excellence. Seems to me that the most important ste

I only watch the pbs news hour and remember Fauchi talking about masks at this time. He never claimed they didn’t work and always pointed out it was about preserving the supply. I suspect other news outlets didn’t give their viewers the ful

Pair programming is a great way to learn. Just watch what others do and pick up tricks. Also, check out fugitive by tim pope. It’s a git plugin for vim that’s changed my life. It’ll open your files with the old version in one split and the

Being on the homescreen increases DAU/MAU by about 50%. Push notifications increase DAU/MAU by multiples. Those are the killer features for social media. I'd also assume that the walled garden of the app store cuts down on a

The aliens could just send back blueprints for a black hole weapon and wait for us to do the wrong thing.

I was thinking that I wouldn’t appreciate aliens sending crazy microbes to earth just to see what happens. It’s weird that NASA is funding the DEEP-IN part of the project but not the microbe part. IMO you cannot separate the two.

> Uhhhh, Imma suggest you don't know what an ad hominem attack is. I’d suggest I can at least identify one when I see it. For instance I’ve just quoted one ;)

by spinlock 4y ago
What I’m saying is that an ad hominem attack must avoid the subject to be a logical fallacy. So, saying it’s ok for cops to murder George Floyd because Candice Owens convinced me he wasn’t a good guy is an example of an ad hominem attack. S

It’s so unclear. There’s so much we don’t know about America it’s pretty insane.

South America was also much more populous than North America. I suspect we weren’t as successful at eliminating stouthearted americas culture.

The heap implementation in Coran Leaderson and Revests’ Algorithms book is super interesting. But, I used to refer to that book as the cure for insomnia as an undergrad. It won’t be very engaging content to most people.

I think you’re overestimating the demand for people who can implement a binary tree. Then again, when I used to work more with node, I would complain daily that those kids were just reimplementing solved problems in computing … poorly. I’m

I wish the icon for hash tables was better. The rest are excellent but the hash table just falls back on a common syntax. It bugs me how much this bugs me.
