Of course. And I thought I acknowledged that mentorship is many things and there are many things that we need to grow as individuals. I've had a lot of great mentors in my life. I still think you've missed the point. You can be gr

Everyone is looked at as a young person when they are young. I've definitely had "junior" colleagues that "got it" better than my 50yo colleagues. It's possible I shouldn't say that outloud, because skille

Seems like it's anybody who wants to just use native js features without complication. Anybody who's been writing modern js and is aware of all it's features has probably had the thought "oh we really don't need alm

Well said. Everybody has power, they just throw it away because exercising your personal power is at best a pita, and at worst, personally dangerous. But retaining access to your personal power requires exercising it from time to time, or

It's a form of tithing. You give to the propagandists providing the slant you align with, even if they're wealthy billionaires. It's been common for belief communities for centuries. Poor people do it for access to wealthy in

Of course I trust my kids to make the most of the environment they are given, and given that their environment will differ from the one I am adapted for, they will likely surpass me in being well adapted to the environment of the future; it

Caveat emptor, I don't write Zig but followed its development closely for awhile. A core design element of zig is that you shouldn't be stuck with one particular memory model. Zig encourages passing an allocator context around, wh

I agree that it's about usage and connotations over time..isn't that what etymology is at the end of the day?

Correct. So, you can emphasize your new identity as an "emigrant from A" or as an "immigrant to B." "Expat" goes one step further by not only emphasizing that you are an emigrant from A, but also that you are n

It generally means that while you live somewhere permanently with no timeline on returning "home," you do not allow yourself to think of your new country as "home." It comes across as a refusal to immigrate . It means t

That's funny, I always thought that meant, "my superior told me I had to do this obviously stupid thing but I'm not going to say my superior was the one who decided this obviously stupid thing." Only occasionally, that i

Surely this one is near universal. At the very least a clarifying tooltip of the verb would be helpful!

by IggleSniggle 1y ago
Right! If you want it to denote an action, you need to include the verb: "TURN ON" would be entirely clear. It's even clear if you sometimes DO want to show state / not a button "IS ON" is also perfectly clear.

Sure, but that license doesn't include the requirement to host in perpetuity, and anyway, I wouldn't expect a hobbyist to need to worry about this. If I decide to make my gamer-profile private / offline or something and that

Please. It looks like he was doing dev as a hobby, asked a big company how to handle removing his packages, and did what they told him to. They might not have had the right policy, but that doesn't make a guy who doesn't want to g

The 3rd option is the one Azer describes in the post: He wants to remove his stuff, but isn't sure what the right way to do it is, so he asks npm. npm provides him with a set of scripts to run to remove his stuff, and he, presuming tha

This stuff is readily available in the macOS ecosystem, but I don't fault anyone for jumping ship for these reasons. It's the same reason I did, before I figured out how to do it in macOS land by way of being required to work on m
