Most of these seem to be very on the side of "I'm a company", so as a sole developer what I like to do for clients is implementing sockets into their apps. Adding sockets for, say, the 3 newest logs they get in real time. Or

There's this phrase, right? "Don't reinvent the wheel". I think it's central to the development experience. Don't re-do work your ancestors have already done, lest you waste your time. I think there's a ve

Better yet, Microsoft might offer to buy them out.

That frankly sounds like a strong security argument to use MasterCard over Visa. But more research on how MasterCard would handle a similar attack might be necessary.

Has someone ever said you can't improve as a programmer? I might live in a bubble of positivism, but I don't think I've ever heard that a programmer can't improve.

>I wonder how they picked the magic number of $10,000. As per the article: They didn't, it's 1% of the property value. The title is misleading.

As I mentioned, it's on a per-theme basis. Try installing 10-15 themes, and then trying them one by one. Some will have italic comments, some won't.

VS Code has support for it on a per-theme basis. I am currently using the Atom One Dark theme on VS Code, and Operator Mono, it does work: https://puu.sh/sbUti/6022c0afb0.png Above being a random screenshot from a proj

This, my start time on Atom -- using an SSD -- on Windows is several times longer than VS Code, it just feels jarring. On OS X the start times for Atom are a lot better though, in my experience.

Opinion based, yada yada: React if they want to join startups or similar cutting edge companies. Node if they want to do server work. Angular 1.x if they want to go into consulting. While the JavaScript ecosystem does move insanely fast a l

Why would someone be discouraged from making this kind of info public?

I'm pretty sure no one is implying any compliments.

As an (existing) alternative of sorts I use Toggl[1] I used it because the application I used for Pomodoros was a Chrome App, and those are dying soon. It has an option to "Remind you to track your time"[2]. Anyway, at least seein

I find that convenience is a perfectly acceptable reason to surrender personal safety/privacy. I'm not saying I personally agree, I'm saying I can respect it.

I feel you are concentrating on a very small and negative part of the post in a very disingenuous manner. I read the article more as: "I have found throughout the years I've become a decent programmer in iOS and Android, I'd

The point he is making is that asking for all three of the things you asked for is kind of unrealistic at that rate. Either you pay more, you accept people from outside the US and Canada, or you don't ask for a 10x Dev.

Naming is pretty poor, a super popular Japanese figure company has that name, so SEO is spotty. The main site is at 4th ranked in search from what I see, but every single other result in Google is related to the toy company.

The article mentions he already settled that for 20k. Now he's suing for damages that the re-runs are causing.

I did see that part. However it's still being an 'early adopter'. 10 or 20 years later the risk you take has been dampened because people have had Fox pets for complete life-cycles which means more of the caveats of ownership

Right, the process never really claimed to "tame" foxes. It is an experiment in selective breeding. Which as a goal aims to end up with domesticated foxes. Selective breeding does mean that you take undesirables out of the gene po
