One can re-learn in a matter of weeks. The smaller the keyboard the less the fingers have to travel. I still have a full numpad setup with 44 keys and it’s a lot more comfortable to use than a normal keyboard.

US layout is definitely better than most EU layouts. It is still terrible compared to a custom setup however. So many bad contortions the fingers have to do compared to just having a sensible symbol-layer.

If the end price is 25 dollars isn’t that quite an affordable price?

Why is it condescending to state that certain wisdom comes with age?

I think for many people NextJS or Nuxt should really be the first choice rather than going for e.g. Create-React-App or some generic boilerplate.

I guess your point is that this would change constantly , which isn't really the case. Yarn and NPM has been around for a long time. Yarn 1 used to be the better choice since NPM stagnated, now they're a bit more equal. Typescrip

> React is great until you have non-trivial state management then life starts to suck again. I agree. This is a bit where the lack of frontend seniority tend to show it's colors in my opinion. People try to fit every use case onto e

React is a client side framework (no, it's not a library even if they say it is), not an "app".

> And it should only be getting more performant as they put more working into optimizing it. You say this like it's not an 8 year old framework. I wouldn't have such high hopes for it rising significantly.

I think in general it's a very tall order to compete with the documentation of Django. It's pretty much world class. I wish more projects had such good documentation.

The answers to this in 2022: 1. Doesn't matter so much as long as you're using newest versions of either one. Newest yarn has plugin support which is neat. Npm has more stable backing and an open roadmap. Could be some considerati

I think almost all modern SPA routers took a lot of lessons from the Ember router to be fair.

I share the same opinion. While perhaps more brittle, it’s also immediately apparent

I find this PR an interesting opportunity to discuss different types of documentation. I've internalized that there's a difference between the PR description, commit messages, and code comments. For me there's different inten

Right. Which speaks to that "European city" is perhaps a bit of an overly broad concept for it to be useful.

A lot of people seem to be using low profile switches nowadays actually. But you do you; everyone has their own taste. Personally I love my mechanical ergo keyboard.

Not true at all. I know plenty of people that live in nice houses and apartments in major European cities.

I’ve found Germans to be very humble and accommodating to people that try to speak the language. I would know; I’m still terrible at it. But might be different depending on city etc.

Interesting anecdote. I feel like this is probably the area of boardgame that has progressed the least . In some sense the YouTube channels that do full rule explanations is a way of remedying this, sure, but that also feels quite.. odd to

Can you elaborate on the coup vs resistance thing? Sounds interesting.

by Oddskar 5y ago
Maybe that's because everyone that's played any other boardgame made the last 10 years has abandoned monopoly completely since it's not a great game. I also disagree that one cannot fix some of its many, many flaws with house

The more amateur reviews I've read on BGG the less I pay attention to them, honestly. A big difference between movies and boardgames is that it's (for the most part) a group activity . And to make matters even more inconsistent,

Speaking from experience the span of playable boardgames ratings is pretty much 65-100, I would be very sceptical of anything below that.

And you probably play using your own house rules to make it palatable: the hallmark of an at best mediocre game.

Why would a newspaper article that regurgitates the Twitter thread be any better? If the source is Twitter then I much prefer a link to Twitter.
