This won’t get done in the next 25 years, if ever.

I think that’s definitely a thoughtful approach but there is no carrot big enough. 50% increase or double my pay, maybe. That’s how big of deal WFH is to most. My work is trying to develop some in office novelties that I think most won’t ca

The web would pretty bland and less usable without CSS. White background and full page width Times New Roman paragraphs, inline images.

I use Kailh Box Navy switches. Sounds like Cherry blues but deeper and louder. Like a v6 vs a v8. Ha. I work from home though. Although I will say I don’t think the crappy membrane dell keyboards are quiet the sound is just different.

After I started working from home I started showering less than every day and I noticed that I don’t feel as good if I don’t shower. I feel like I’m not fully awake. It’s not about cleanliness exactly. I start to get into a mental funk if I

David Walsh! Blast from the past. I used to read his stuff when I was starting out almost 20 years ago.

I don’t think I’ve been in the super high end Tesla but every other one I’ve ridden in felt like an economy car. The seats are terrible and the suspension on those things is an abomination. I also severely dislike all the usual suspects… hu

I don’t know why relative humidity is used for laymen. I remember when I learned the Dew Point is what you can use to gauge what it feels like. I grew up in the South and later in life moved to the northwest and people would say it was humi

That’s fair, you clearly know more about beer than me. I mostly just drink them. I don’t care for most lagers but a good one on a summer day is nice. I was just trying to make the point that you don’t have to choose Budweiser over craft bee

Most craft breweries make lagers and pilsners that are considerably better than “big beer.” Local/craft beer doesn’t exclusively produce IPAs, Fruited Sours, and Bourbon Barrel Aged Oatmeal stouts.

He’s writing an article. “ Dear TK Readers: Very shortly, I’m going to begin posting a long thread of information on Twitter, at my account, @mtaibbi. This material is likely to get a lot of attention. I will absolutely understand if subscr

My take on this is, if you are writing enough JS in your app that the “terseness” of jQuery seems appealing you maybe shouldn’t be writing jQuery or vanilla (unless you’ve built a really nice framework/library specifically for your app

I think React is great. In Some instances of useEffect can seem inscrutable. I believe svelte is a great counter to a lot of the ceremony in React and I see it as the most compelling “framework” available. I sorta miss JSX with it but it’s

I don’t believe any game/app that was/is available on one or two of many hand held computing devices is worth much “labor” from the maintainers of said game’s/app’s operating environment. I think it’s kind of hilarious to thi

Thanks fallacy bot. I was not trying to discredit Neil Young’s “argument.” I was simply stating my opinion that he sucks and it’s funny that he was once a part of a counter culture and and now he’s “fighting” for the “side” that’s already “

How long has Neil Young been out of touch? This is the most anti-rock, anti-punk, anti-free-thinker move an old rich dude can make. No matter where one stands on the content of Joe Rogan’s podcast, Neil Young’s ideas and actions are basical

Ditto, The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch is my favorite book.

This is the correct response. Yeah, sure, tactics could change to “analysis before action” but then you lose responsiveness when you need it most. Maybe there’s a balance, but I don’t think it’s worth it. The real answer is to litigate the

Happy to see a multitude of poignant responses to comments here. It should be clear that “gun control” is very similar to the “war on drugs”. I guess a better corollary is the prohibition of cannabis. Folks (law abiding gun owners) helping

This is a really nice piece of work! I’ve been experimenting with building something similar for my employer... I like that theming isn’t really a concern here. It makes sense because Pinterest already has a “theme” and this implementation

Too many people sleep on or disparage Texas, it’s such a diverse/weird/surprising/sometimesDisapointing place. It’s definitely not some place that can be categorized or disparaged with only a few words. Disclosure: I grew up
