We are social beings. We live in a society. Being close to others is not a status symbol, it is what makes us, us. I eat at nice restaurants because the food is delicious. I enjoy the culture. I enjoy a wide variety live music. These are no

The geometric approach is promising. I am working on a project that implements it. It is still a work in progress but things are moving along quite nicely. You can read more about IEML at https://pierrelevyblog.com/my-resear

The Cordova browser view is almost as fast as mobile Chrome/Safari. Debugging can be tricky, as in all mobile development, but I was overall satisfied with the available tooling. If your code is performant in the browser it should fare

It feels like an emperor with no clothes situation. Redux is obviously terrible but the community has adopted it none the less.

Look into Cordova. It can wrap your static frontend in a multiplatform app that runs inside a chromeless web browser. Super easy to set up and use. Adobe even offers an online build service, PhoneGap Build, which can build Corodva applicati

I agree with you and I do most of my stuff in vanilla JS these days, but if I have a complex UI state it can be nice to have a DOM diffing library rather than tracking and editing nodes explicitly. Mithril is, in my opinion, React done righ

Slaves had their labour stolen from for hundreds of years and were given no land or other economic basis for them to thrive with. In a competitive landscape, without any capital there is no way to rise. This is also ignoring the fact that s

The truth is that modals are easier. You don't need to worry about elegantly maintaining context. They introduce a side context. Unfortunately the spell breaks when you want to switch contexts again. The side context makes it awkward.

I only have my own anecdotal experience to work from, but I genuinely believe that most Americans are so lost when it comes to diet that these last-resorts are all they have left. I am very fortunate to have fallen in love with a Greek woma

I think the problem is that most people, and that includes doctors and bariatric surgeons alike, don't really know how to diet. Using only diet, I have successfully lost 90lbs and continue to lose.

I don't have to climb faster than others, but I would like to peak in wealth and influence before I come up with my own ultimate plans. That will likely be around the age of 50 or 60. We must all do our part to look out for others. I g
