   I learnt that much later. Apparently the current version of webpack that you get by following the official react project setup is missing certain polyfills!

   The latest version of webpack removed polyfill, this broke another dependency, and i had to downgrade the react version to fix that! Nothing like this did I ever see in the go or kotlin world.

   As someone who programs on backend, frontend, and Android apps, I can't agree more. Javascript frameworks and NPM hell is terrible. You rarely have the problems in Go/Kotlin/Java world that are considered normal in the NPM wo

   Why do need this instead of just adding some custom blocks to ublock origin?

   Backend context is more in your control Frontend context not so much. A backend engineer usually does not write code to run on multiple different versions of CPU. A frontend engineer has to support multiple browsers. A backend engineer wor

    I just want to read. And Not go through social features and other fancy things that distract me from actual reading.

    I hated Pocket too. I already used RSS reader, so, I ended up building https://reading.ashishb.net that creates an RSS feed of articles you add. And yeah, it has a readable mode turned on by default.

    Exactly. I would prefer having universal health care for emergencies while letting the market make non-emergency care (especially routine care) cheap and quick.

    Only in America, you have no idea what healthcare would cost before entering a hospital. When you go for a car maintenance/repair, they give you an upfront estimate. Nothing when they work on your body. I blame employer coverage that d

    Iirc there wasn't. I think it is mostly about strong institutions that keep military in check.

    Yeah. The book has some great insights around institutions. My notes from the book https://ashishb.net/book-summary/book-summary-why-nations-fa...

    Here's my simple live reload that's generic enough for any language for me ``` filewatcher --immediate --restart "*/*.go" "killall ${BINARY_NAME}; make run" ```

    I worked on several Java codebases where more than 90% exceptions weren't swallowed. The other 10% were swallowed with a comment explaining why it is fine to ignore.

    > It's a much better concept for a language like Ada or Eiffel more design-by-contract style. I'm not familiar with this. Please elaborate how you would handle say an I/O failure while R/w a file with this approach?

    Checked Exceptions. I wish Kotlin had it too.

    Let's wait for a few years and they will make the Airbnb and Udacity style U-turn. Even Facebook doesn't use react native as a primary technology for building Messenger, Instagram or Facebook app. Shameless plug: my opinionated be

    Pocket is on the death bed. Instapaper is good but last I checked they didn't let you create an RSS feed. I ended building a readbility viewer with an RSS feed for personal usage.

    Thanks. That's a regression. I'll fix it soon.

    I built a custom RSS Reader just to streamline my reading list. If I am bored and want to read something I don't go to social media I read what I marked for reading later. https://reading.ashishb.net
