I don’t think the deficiencies of major news organizations have ever been as blindingly obvious to me as they have been over the past month. I knew it was bad. I didn’t realize exactly how bad it was. For them, even a national crisis is jus

Thanks, I mixed those up. Minor details aside, the larger point was, in order to brew "your best" cup of coffee, you need consistency in the brewing method with the least amount of variables (save the other important variables suc

To brew "the best" which means really to get the best extraction out of the bean for which the flavor profile the drinker enjoys the most (too much extraction results in a acidic, heavy taste, too little extraction results in the

"Hi jimmy, this is your mother. My phone died so I am calling you from the hospital phone. Your dad is in the hospital. Come quick." In the above scenario that happened to me, sometimes you just don't have time to let the inf

Just pains me that the Rust team is so oblivious to the fact that they need a spec if they ever hope to have a chance to replace C.

I know this place discourages this sort of thing, but really want to make this emphasized in case anyone from the ACM is reading: same here x3!

Fun fact: by the popularized definition in the media, most of your Catholic and Orthodox churches would be "mega churches" as well, despite sharing little in common. They get lumped together statistically, however.

Rather than see this as pointing to how fragile the economic system is, I view it as how wrong the current zeitgeist around business practices (having money is lost opportunity) and which businesses truly are viable (businesses that run up

I was a very early adopter of React at my company (fall 2013) and IIRC, using jQuery with React was still in the docs. edit: and it still is today, just a tad updated: https://reactjs.org/docs/integrating-with-other-li

What? Is this really controversial? Sometimes you need a UI library, sometimes you need really quick interactivity to toggle a menu. I use alpine.js on my marketing pages, and I use vue/svelte within sections of my app.

Are you kidding me? Look at the current hash tags on twitter. Miserable people never stop.

I don't think it did. Those of us who bothered to spend more than a glancing look at prototypes figured them out pretty easily. Including Classes in JavaScript feel like pandering: there really wasn't much to directly gain from th

My brother is a restaurant owner and reports that despite volume being down, profit is up due to less overhead. Others in the restaurant industry are reporting the same. When we come out on the other side of this, I think a lot of businesse

Search on twitter for "computer science" and "gatekeeping" and ask all those people, I dunno. I gave up trying to reason with unreasonable people a long time ago.

It would serve everyone well to start at that level. I write enterprise CRUD webapps, and learning these things helped me tremendously. Unfortunately we now have a culture that views this type of knowledge acquisition as "gatekeeping&q

We all have that one place that we secretly love but keep on the down low for risk of being chided by our more "sophisticated" company. For many that is McDonalds or similar. For me, it's Waffle House. https://www.

But it's not a great point. The oil industry has had a 100 year head start on the art of money, power, and influence. Human power dynamics are the primary drivers of societal and global change. That is to say, the reality is you have a
