I feel like I could use a 3d layout tool today to escape the z-index dance that seems to be in every code base I've worked in. I'm forever bumping z-indexes like it's an arms race or something.

I froze my credit for free in response to the Equifax breach, and it gave me a little more piece of mind. However, I just had the experience of thawing my credit and I discovered that the companies are back to charging you for the freeze. I

Yes! And the newest version of iOS grants you the ability to say "while using the app" for any app rather than just the apps where the developer gave the user that option.

Why put art in quotes in the article as if to suggest it is not? Seems like the piece got the author to participate and share their experience. Sounds like pretty successful "art" to me.

I switched to FF Developer Edition a little over a year ago, and I have caught several bugs that went unnoticed by my Chrome using colleagues.

That has less to do with webpack and more to do with create-react-app which doesn't allow you to modify the webpack config. The gp didn't really need to use gulp, you can compile less with package.json scripts.

Well how about that?! I always run "reduce transparency" and "increase contrast" as I never really like the translucent items (System Preferences > Accessibility > Display), and I too thought the new UI was a black

Certainly. And that may have something to do with the fact that in some fields of study, teaching is the only way to support yourself, so you get some lack luster teachers.

Unfortunately, just because you know your shit, it won't necessarily make you a good teacher. Teaching, to me at least, often felt less about the subject and more about empathy. It's very hard to become a great teacher.

No problem! Thanks for trying. Hope you put out a little travel guide with all your material.

I don't want to put you out, but tomorrow will be the best day I have to indulge in seeing the computing sites.

Thanks! No need for processing as I'm fairly "in the moment," if you catch my drift. Maybe you could pick your favorite (or 2 favorites). I am traveling for a wedding, so I won't be able to do a great deal, but I have a

I have such fond memories of wasting hours driving down the old Dixie Highway. That area of Florida is predominately potato farms (chip potatoes), and in another life—before I was a programmer and after I was grad student studying poetry—I

Anecdotally: last year I was riding in a train that hit someone who fell onto the tracks because the platform was so crowded. 30 minutes later, one station away, a woman lost both her legs when a train ran them over. When I lived in Tokyo,

It looks like the SVG's style block[0] applies a black background to the svg element: svg {background: rgb(1.0,1.0,1.0)} which fails to render in chrome due to the floats but renders fine in firefox. If set to white or removed

I'm personally not a fan on alignment because of its impact on the project's commit history and diffs. Not saying it's not nice to look at, I just prefer not changing many unrelated lines because a new variable name is one ch

The hands down best reason to use react-redux is because if you use `mapStateToProps` and `mapDispatchToProps` you can keep your connected components 100% dumb (I like to export both the dumb version and the connected as the default). This

I'm using redux-observables (very similar conceptually to sagas but uses rxjs) and allowing redux actions to remain pure and synchronous has made testing a breeze. Middleware has quickly become the most important redux feature for me.

This year I decided to hunker down and use vim (specifically, neovim). It has been the best decision I have made. Using vim and thinking of the satellite of tools in my terminal as my IDE has made me a better programmer and I have a better

I understand the feeling that it seems strange to manage all state, no matter how small, in a large global state. However, every now and then I'll work with a designer or UX person who will connect seemingly unrelated elements in a pow

Ubuweb was my go to resource when I was getting my MA in poetry. Not sure if some of the work is still on there (content rotates in and out), but I got to know the work of bp nichol on there. He was a poet that I think would appeal to the H

In my 20s I got my masters degree in poetry and taught literature. I was content with the work but had a programming hobby that was more creatively satisfying than teaching. I quit my job to follow my passion. Fast forward several years, an

Perhaps due to the fact that upvoting privately saves the story and doesn't forward you to another page as favoriting does (which isn't private), people are upvoting with the intention of browsing it later. I mention it because it

That may be a typo. Macs have a feature that automatically converts ' and " into ‘ and “ called "smart quotes." It's innocuous most of the time and maybe even welcome, but can be a real pain when trying to share a
