It's such a nice little house, too. It's absolutely crazy. For a city with average wages in the $50-70k range, owning a home may as well be prohibited. I rent an apartment, I'm on my second one with the same property manageme

The salaries in Toronto in particular are quite low in comparison to other places. Especially in larger companies that don't have technology as a focus, but as a requirement. A lot of places pay easily ~ 60% to 80% of market average,

I think there are a number of factors here, and I don't think social factors should be ruled out. There are a number of startups here, but there are also many community/social innovation hubs[1] and organizations that draw in a lo

There are so many variables, it really is hard to know how to hit the right points with anybody. I'm sure there's ultimately some sort of data correlation that could be produced about what, on average, attracts certain types of em

Side projects and volunteer work helped me earn my current position. ~mid-level programmer at a large digital media corporation. My side projects are what swayed them. That and knowing some specifics to media of course. It wasn't solel

Just wanted to nudge you to ask if you would have a look at my above comment on this thread. Were you by chance on this project, or know of how I can get in touch with somebody who oversees things like this?

I'm too young to comment properly (sadly, only just). Though I'll admit that was the first language I learned in high school outside the Turing learning language.

Definitely won't argue with you here. Like most things that are gradually corrupted the root cause is money.

I have a bit of a bone to pick with Facebook here. I just checked the commit dates on this project, and the repo was posted inside of a month after I filed an issue on the draft-js repo linking to a project of mine with the very same name.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the traditional nomenclature is anarcho-syndicalist. Or are you marking a difference in your beliefs from those. Am I just hung up on semantics, or are you espousing there will somehow be no competi

The cursor and atomic block deletion issues occur on desktop as well. I filed an issue recently on this very thing. It seems to be a continuation of the issues with the editor state and DOM falling out of sync. I can't share the implem

It seems like people tend to listen to the loudest speakers first -- everybody else is forced to play keep up. Bla bla bla, something about portraying authority. Brain's not on point for elucidating further. If somebody else understand

Put simply: time to market. Experienced front-end devs with a designer on hand could put together the UI inside of a day, with a workable user experience. Hell, if you're not afraid of bloating in the codebase, you could use a large nu

Definitely good points, and a few of them were admittedly way over my head in terms of applied knowledge. But it sounds like you're pointing to applied-need systems, like POS or IOT situations. I can see the usefulness there, completel

I see what you're saying, and it certainly is a cul-de-sac... but what if it is a surface layer built out of those languages and frameworks? Even if it's not optimized and technologically eloquent, it's already being rammed t

Don't you think the desktop OS as is might be a little played out? I could see moderate changes being made, but no major leaps. We've seen the ChromeOS begin to take off, but largely because of Google's place in the larger ma

"...for the home-user." I think that says it all right there. In 1994 I was still very young, learning DOS on my mother's old 80286 she'd purchased for work in the mid 80's. I'd had some exposure to Win3.1, but

It's funny you should say that. I'm curious, do you have an example? I'm engaging in this ugly probably unsightly (but helpfully quick and maintainable) practice in a project with a short developmental cycle right now, and I&

Correct me if I'm wrong but it appears they are now filtering the {} characters by URI encoding them upon submitting a search. This isn't to say they've fixed anything else yet (I haven't looked), but it may mitigate the

I’ve been using Hyper on and off for a while now. I recently returned to zsh in iTerm2 for the same reasons many others mentioned here. It _works_. I still do toy with Hyper from time to time. A feature I do like is the hotkey-enabled pane-
