This could be observation bias because the above-median listings are going to sit longer. So you scroll through, and that's what you see. The at-market or below-market listings will be quickly filled and removed. The same thing happens

Isn't the point of GraphQL to allow each client to select what they want? On desktop, you want fields A B C, on mobile you want fields X Y Z-- great! It goes against the "don't build a general-purpose API" thought, but i

Not sure how accurate this is, but I heard the initial "no need for masks" advice was given to the public so masks could be prioritized for hospitals and medical staff. At least in a setting where you're around large quantiti

Leveling the playing field means increased competition which means better prices for consumers. It does make it more affordable. Your listed examples are discretionary purchases. So it might not matter much to higher earners, but I'm s

To my understanding, no. Here's a bug logged 9 years ago: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=336876 It might have been fixed recently, have a look.

Shadow DOM isn't a totally sandboxed construct, though it mostly is. You can't load font-face's within shadow dom's. They have to be defined in light dom, and then are available in shadow dom. Most other CSS styling seem

Losing some key staff might be better than a 2nd, 3rd, Nth round of layoffs which could cause an increasing crisis in confidence, which would lead to proportionally more senior staff leaving.

It's unregrettable if the company intentionally desires to downsize. Regrettable means when don't you want someone to leave, but they do. Unregrettable is the opposite: someone leaves, but you wanted them to.

Social Security was introduced as a solution to the problem of economic security for the elderly. If we fail to meet this goal, and people see the consequences of the failure, it would likely be a bad look for politicians; public support fo

Seems like a good way to drive unregrettable attrition. The next question is, will this cause too many people to leave or stay? Tough to grok in advance how employees will respond, and how many people might take the chance the policy has no

Not that I disagree with you, but me and many others are planning our retirements accounts around assumptions of 8-9% growth. Stock market returns and real economic productivity aren't the same thing, but I think it would be deeply cha

Even if you aren't using types in first-party code, you're getting autocomplete and inline docs for all the third-party code, including the standard DOM API's, or NodeJS, or whatever types from your NPM modules. There's

If syntax matters, JSX/TSX will forever reign supreme to DSL's like Angular's templating syntax and Svelte. Angular didn't even start shipping intellisense until years after they invented their markup, and it wasn't

Returning html fragments is quite stateful and contextual to the rest of the DOM structure. Ex: You might be referencing class names; is there already a stylesheet loaded that defines those styles? Are those styles actually what you want? I

How do you test cases like, "the app should show an error screen when an error occurs in the database or server-side application layer"? In the SPA approach, I find these things quite easy to model with a service worker; just mock

Having only worked at SPA places, it's hard for me to imagine not having tools like Storybook, Chromatic, and Mocked Service Workers. Building the UI in isolation means with mocked API responses means I can, in parallel, validate 1000&

You're right. There is some cognitive bias, when I was a junior, I didn't lean on useMemo in the way I see today's juniors using it. The mis-applications revealed that some engineers don't totally get the paradigm, and t

Doctors cost so much because there are artificial caps on supply in the US. So much for the hippocratic oath of "do no harm". Fewer doctors decreases access to the medical system which undoubtedly causes harm.

Generally speaking, most people are at the point where "this is the most they've ever made". Inflation and the passing of time in a given career will do that.
