As for the cost part, do German hospitals behave like American ones? i.e. overcharging for everything on the expectation that insurance will cover it?

I personally think you're overstating the amount of work required to upgrade between Webpack versions. You generally should not be ignoring your tech stack for 2+ years in the first place either - nobody likes spending time staying on

Have you spent time in NYC? I get scammed regularly here, it's not a Chinese or American thing. It's possible the rates are higher there in general, but I wouldn't say you "don't get scammed in the streets" in

I'm really amused / shocked by the amount of people here that feel "awkward" or "bothered" in meetings with someone dressed in business casual versus jeans and a t shirt. I work at a startup in NYC and most of

I would be careful saying Bitcoin in particular is being cemented. There's nothing stopping its downfall from an "improved" cryptocurrency or other issues.

I think this advice applies most to layout - at work we still heavily use Bootstrap components, but the grid layout we started out with turned into hellspawn really quickly.

Thank god something like this exists. I gagged at the workspace structure when I first started Go - it gave me enough pain starting out one weekend that my interest faded away. I've been looking for a reason to try it out again and a

I think if you're just trying to learn React and want to get started with the fewest steps possible, yes. However, I think knowing (JS) build configurations is highly desirable and you're way better off understanding how to set

Nice post. Learned some useful tips in there for my own Webpack projects.

Sure, I totally agree. I was referring to more "day to day" attitudes than situational though.

There's a point to be made by (sometimes snarky) non-Americans about the stereotypical "dumb, always smiling" American - there are times when it is insincere or a bit unnecessary and I think that this is unique to America

From what I gather from friends who have moved out of the expensive boros / neighborhoods, you can easily get really affordable housing just over the river in NJ. I grew up in CT and there are also way more affordable options there (St

One thing to keep in mind is that ads and media are a big focus here - not to say that every company is in that game, but you'll notice quite a lot are. I don't really find that field interesting so it does out leave out options f

I don't think cynicism is necessary. Apple is in a better position than Google to do this because of their business model. Many of Google's services, for example, are free to use - that comes at a cost to the consumer because they

I think Apple (and especially Ive) would definitely prefer if the phone was notchless and 100% display. The issue is where you put the various sensors on the front - even with just a camera you’re still going to have a notch (see the Essent

I do agree that FaceID is a bit less convenient than TouchID - the "unlock while taking out of pocket" is a good example. I also agree that FaceID might be easier to "socially engineer" or obtain by force in the sense th

I think the interesting part is that if you are not exercising regularly, you're not perspiring and hence blocking a major channel to excrete aluminum. Diet and exercise, folks. I wouldn't worry about the aluminum in your deodoran

I sometimes do projects in new frameworks or languages as a learning experience - in a professional setting I would still default to tried and true tools that I have a lot of experience with and are relatively stable. How do you differentia

I think the potential for this app was very high, but their awful, downright stupid product decisions played a large hand in their downfall (or at least expedited it) - removing anonymity (the main selling point of the app), constantly fuck
