Is it really typical in SV tech to get that much matching on 401k and/or get a bonus? Seems extraordinarily high. Maybe that bonus, stock, 401k match is sort of an unknown that one may or may not receive (in which case, you'd be

Is anyone surprised by the amount bootcamp folks in this thread who are now in "Senior" roles after only a few years? I'm not trying to diminish their accomplishment; Their accomplishment is astounding. But are bootcamps real

I live in Texas. Private car ownership definitely has a materialistic component. However, owning a car is almost a necessity in every city in Texas. You see a lot of big, decked-out pickup trucks here (vanity). I drive a Prius because there

Yeah, all the things that need flexible schema can go in a jsonb column. While querying on JSON has gotten less painful, it's still a bit of a chore. But I've found that I rarely need to do that. Or if I do, I just denormalize a b

> Use this form if: Your taxable income (line 6) is less than $100,000. For a lot of the folks on HN, I'd bet that isn't true. At the end of the day, US taxes are super weird. This may be an overly simplistic view, but I'm

I think this would constrain the vision of Beaker. I can't point to any concrete examples (like, where the extension API doesn't support something beaker does), but I can imagine wanting a less sandboxed environment when developin

Be careful with createElement('a') in IE. If the URL contains credentials (username or username and password), it'll throw a security exception. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/834489/i

There's a story in Masters of Doom where Carmack and Romero do just that. If I recall correctly, they would take company (Softdisk I believe) computers at night because they were more powerful than their home computers, and use them to

I've been using VSCode for TS (nothing else though). Do you mind elaborating on why Webstorm is on a different level? Genuinely curious. I really like VSCode, but I have my complaints (mainly, it's a little slow on my MBA)

I can attest to the police car pulling it over. I saw a little Google car pulled over on the way to the grocery store a month or two ago.

The Vital Question. As a layman -- and an audio book listener -- this wasn't an easy book to get through! Still, it caused me to sit and think a little, and that was the whole point.

Because you did. I came to the comments wondering if this was a shameless ripoff of the original or a re-post from the same author.

Knowing where the viewport is relative to the document is pretty valuable; It means that AMP can defer loading potentially sluggish content until the viewport lands on a particular position.

As far as the scrolling goes, I'm fairly certain they're just using native scrolling (as in, not using a JS implementation that doesn't get the weighting right). The AMP Runtime needs to know scroll position, and they seem to

I don't want to rail on the author here - lord knows I've written some JavaScript that I regret now - However, putting things on an event bus does not make modules independent, testable, or re-usable. You get those things from car

Yep. Who needs explicit coupling when you can silently couple interfaces?

Agreed! And creating a web component would be a trivial amount of code. We could definitely provide a distribution for that. We would love to use the Polymer project at Goodybag, however, this has deterred us: > IE8 is incompatible due
