Employees cost more than just their salary, but I see your point. So far, their attempts to make reddit more profitable have made the user experience terrible. "New" reddit is way worse than old, and is full of nagging you to use

Kids do not write laws or have political agendas. In an ideal world, skin color would be an afterthought. But that is not the world we live in. I grew up as a white person in a 99%+ mexican/hispanic area. I grew up thinking the same. I

You can go by feel and sometimes appearance (and pretty much have to for some things like pork ribs), but the size and shape of large chunks of meat vary quite a bit, so does the weather, heat source, etc... If you're a restaurant that

Large chunks of meat are best done by temp. A brisket, for example, can look the same if the internal temp is at 150 vs 210. One is pretty much inedible. Same for large chunks of pork. You want to cook these to where they are tender, but no

I think it's mostly the teachers and the administrators who advocate for the earlier times. Well, that and parents who drop off their kids before work. A later start would be great for students.

I have api key, but I obeyed the (low) limits when I used it. I heard a lot of recommendations for it, but was surprised with the free tier limit.

Isn't AlphaVantage free limited to 5 requests a minute and 500 a day? And it requires an API key?

"Manipulated by an angry mob" is one way to look at it, but "unsophisticated investors attempting to short squeeze billion dollar hedge funds" is another.

So Melvin Capital got a few billion from Citadel after the reddit short squeeze started? And we're not supposed to think anything about that is shady? And there is no proof Melvin cut their losses. There is no way to know for sure. The

Robinhood is what all the people jumping on the bandwagon used. And this coincided with a sharp price drop on all of these stocks blocked. The reason was "Due to ongoing volatility", but any trader will tell you volatility is how

It's not just HN. I think it's pretty fair to be concerned about facebook's tracking, given the level they already go to on their site. I just spent $1000 on a Valve Index, since there is no way I am strapping 4 facebook link

I think that's too simple of a case to really make an argument either way. Just return a Some/None or Optional. Null is ok too, but not the best (it's baked in to most languages already though). But at a higher level, if the

Yes, but you can still argue just throwing it might be better. This also affects the stack trace, because, at least in C# (so probably F#) `throw ex;` is different than `throw;`, which rethrows the exception as if it weren't caught.

Emulate has another meaning in the technology world too though, so it might be confusing. RN has to keep the bridge up to date with best practices/deprecation, etc... so that seems like a bigger risk if support was lost. Xamarin did th

Yeah, I used git and ignored node_modules. Honestly, most of the problems are related to Windows. Whenever I try to use anything geared towards web dev, there are just more issues on Windows. Tons of dependencies that change all the time do

Not OP, but I've tried all of the big SPA frameworks (not specifically react native though) and I decided to use flutter for a non-trivial side project and I don't ever want to touch the big SPA frameworks ever again. Flutter is a

I hope not. I started using flutter recently and it is by far the best development experience I've had creating anything with a UI. Easy to install (even on windows), build, stateful hot reload, and the code is easy to read and write.

Expecting a service that has "Kids" in the name to have decent kids content is not a dereliction of parenting. It is full of low effort, addicting (to kids) videos.

Most big business use older software, and the small amount of it that does have an API often does not work correctly or is stable. Sad but true. I've ran into a lot of instances where people automate through the GUI because it is the b

Disclaimer: I work for UiPath. This is a problem with almost any type of automation. I wouldn't say our software (I am only familiar with UiPath) is finicky. GUIs are finicky, but there are ways to deal with them. That's the stuff
