I agree that logging is essential in any system, but I read most of the original comments as tossing console.log(foo) at various points to manually observe the outcome. The approach you described is much more structured and absolutely vital

I really cannot believe what I am reading in this thread. It’s pretty trivial to setup a debugger in most IDE’s these days and share a config with your team. Print logging falls flat on its face in async systems. I feel like the ven diagram

The US credit system is plenty authoritarian in its own right.

I locked my credit when I left the US, and I have no intention of ever unlocking it. Free yourself from a broken system and experience the world that doesn't treat you like a wage slave.

Recently created an alt account and they still do this. It was mostly “influencers”. One thing I have noticed is that Twitter REALLY wants me to follow Elon Musk. He’s at the top of pretty much every recommendation I’ve seen on the site.

Coupling this with pg jsonb fields can be really powerful. Opens a lot of doors for configurable UI with robust validation.

I enjoy working with typescript as an alternative to JS. Recently was working on Deno project and not having to worry about esm vs commonjs was so so nice.

Don't forget openly pushing political positions from a tax exempt status.

I am glad you found fulfillment in reproduction, many people don’t feel that way. Personally I am capable of self improvement without adding another hungry mouth to an already dying planet. Future generations won’t have to support me in old

Having children is a choice, or at least it should be. Clearly it is in peoples best interests to not have children these days. If you choose to have a child that’s great, hopefully you have the means to raise them. Looking forward to the d

You must be new here. The United States has done everything possible to enable and encourage this kind of spending. If you don’t like it I would encourage you to establish a SuperPAC and fund it with a few $Billion to push through some refo

Or a decent paperback novel. Reading long form content on a screen gives me awful eyestrain. Plus I love the smell of a good book.

Paper is the best form of long term storage of data we have besides stone tablets.

Do you consider the United States a free country?

Sure, not trying to criticize you, but it has been on the news pretty much daily for the last year and crypto ads dominated the super bowl. If you find yourself in a space where you aren’t exposed to it at all that’s fine, but I would say i

Ok, that makes perfect sense.

Ok that makes a bit more sense, thanks for taking the time to educate me :)

Indy games are in a golden age right now. Small teams are building stellar titles and making tons of money in the process. Most of the horror stories you are hearing from the gaming industry are coming from large multinational studios, many

That’s interesting. Is it really a problem that requires manually writing the code? Seems like there should be more elegant solutions by this point.

What is the intended use for LaTex these days? I’m not trying to flame, I just have no idea why anyone would choose to use it over html/css or just a word processor.

Guy is receiving tons of death threats, I don’t see this as unreasonable in the least. Do Kwon deserves to face consequences, and the evidence is definitely mounting against him.

HN hates crypto, it’s almost a meme here. OP is a perfect example, a low value troll pushed to the top of the thread. And if you have heard no one around you talking about crypto the last year you live in a bubble.

For the life of me I could not get this off of my recommendations no matter how many channels I blocked. There must the millions of them.

When your reputation is already rock bottom you have nothing left to lose. I stopped using YouTube a while back when it decided that because I like programming, video games, and martial arts I would also enjoy misogynistic pricks like Jorda

HN’s track record on stuff like this is really bad. This is a place to get interesting news on startup valuations, Rust, and what the current FE framework of choice is. For everything else it might as well be Reddit.

Besides it being a propaganda piece for the current darling of the alt-right demographic? I would encourage you to read it, but is honestly not worth the time.

So am I. I have interviewed a lot of “software engineers” lately and I think that our industry needs to do a better job of protecting that title.
