It's simple, but requires a great deal of time to take advantage of compound interest. It's simple, but it requires dedication: you must say the course. Invest early, invest often, and invest for the long term. It is a happy reali

It clears it up but personally, I'd rather just write `app.route(login, ...)`. Isn't a lot clearer to use more conventional language features? What exactly is this buying me? I don't know if me saying 'Just, why?' i

It sounds like a single entity is helping many workers take individual cases (under unique circumstances). This sounds just like a class-action lawsuit, except with extra steps. If it proves worthwhile, it could potentially give workers an

I'm not a huge fan of decorators since they obfuscate the state of the runtime. What exactly does the call stack look like when login gets invoked? What variables are in scope? I find it difficult to reason about. I understand that thi

"Increasing engagement" is probably a KPI in nearly every consumer-facing product these days. And as time goes on, it becomes more obvious, desperate, and frankly, annoying. Like when I receive FB notifications since I haven'

Yeah, that's another angle I didn't touch on. You don't have to publish all the feedback data. You can choose just to goes with the quantitative results. Comments are tricky since they're both qualitative and might need

I don't understand how that's a third option because either the review data is open and publicly available, or it isn't. That 'third option' is just an opinion about the data.

When you review feedback collected (in any situation analogous to what you mention), you take that into account. What if the feedback also said the doctor wasn't personable? Maybe the doc could be a bit warmer with his patients... and

I wasn't questioning the price --and I get that static sites are fairly trivial to create and host-- just the idea of a full-blown website for a wedding. I know they're very common.

by Y7ZCQtNo39 8y ago
I always found the concept of a whole website, domain name, etc dedicated to a wedding to feel a little... heavy. I understand it's a big occasion. It just feels like a lot for a single event and domain that will become irrelevant afte

In some aspects yes, in others no. I accidentally cut myself a little too deep while doing dishes a couple years ago (opaque, soapy water and sharp surfaces don't mix well). I couldn't get the bleeding to stop (without constant pr

Students aren't reviewing the quality of their campus on-site gym when they review their professor. There's genuine concerns that should be reasonably heard. One example is slowness in grading homework/exams/etc. What ha

We made our own review system, to compete with the contracted-out system they used for their siloed data we didn't have access to. We agreed to not launch the system, in exchange for limited access to the data, as I described above. Pr

Very few professors are granted tenure, as was the case in the past. It's weakly non-zero: times have changed. There are far more adjunct professors today. Universities are more run like businesses than in decades past.

We pushed very hard at my alma mater to publicize course/teacher evaluations. We eventually got the University to accept iff a minimum participation rate was met (on a per course basis-- so it wasn't all or nothing. We'd get

I don't think we should necessarily be gatekeeping here. What makes life challenging is subjective to the individual. There are young people out there subject themselves to a lot of stress because they want to be successful. Working re

No need to be impolite. For one, no I haven't, since I'm not 40 years old. Second, they risk losing their core constituencies: the creative industry, and developers.

It actually has a different result, for someone like myself: it makes me not buy a new iPhone at all. I like the ability to charge my phone and listen to music simultaneously, without having to worry about my headphones also dying. Usually

The hope is that you'd buy the Apple-branded one. Obviously Bluetooth is an open standard -- but that was the business intent. An adapter is less convenient to use than having the Headphone jack on the device. Is it really that farfetc

Removing the 3.5mm headphone jack was pretty rent seeking-- they hoped you'd buy the AirPods instead. It wasn't deliberately stated, but it would be in poor taste for them to state it as such. The headphone jack removal wasn'

A more mature project wouldn't have just React as a dependency. Point is, it's a lot of code to vet. React may have 5 indirect dependencies, but in my projects, I have 30 or more direct dependencies.

It's the kind of thing where, if everyone with this problem chipped in $5/month, we could have a central repository of vulnerabilities. So, not absolving yourself of responsibility, but also way more efficient to outsource.

This resonates with me, as my alma mater definitely doesn't have much (compared to the top endowments out there). It's not amount to sneeze at, but still, there are others ahead of us.

by Y7ZCQtNo39 8y ago
It's impractical, on an individual level, to vet your entire dependency tree. Installing something like react alone will put 100+ modules in your dependency tree. A more mature project will have a 4-figure number of dependencies. Thing

In my experience, academia is largely driven by money. Professors at my university were recognized for the money they brought to the university first and foremost it seemed, rather than for any discoveries/innovations in a particular f

I can't remember the last time I've read a headline about the peer-reviewer that confirmed some groundbreaking finding. Maybe it gives you the opportunity to network with higher-profile contributors to your field, if you offer to

I think it's strange since I can download software for MacOS anywhere. The only reason that it's accepted that you must use the App Store is because Apple was first to the smartphone scene. Had Apple tried to force everyone into u

How do peer reviews happen, then, if nobody gets paid to do them? Does research money (that goes to the production of the paper) not also cover peer-reviews? I wouldn't see any incentive for any work to be peer-reviewed, ever, then.

I have no desire to live in a 250 s.f. unit. What does my future look like? How would I raise kids, if I wanted to have them? I don't know how anyone outside of the top 3-5% pulls it off in San Francisco.

It wouldn't be seamless. But it wouldn't be difficult for a competitor to create a "competitor import" feature that moved over most of it in a few clicks.
