NEVER buy a Samsung TV... they're horrible. They have the same contempt for software that they do on their phones. They NEVER update their firmware. It's amazingly slow and latent. When they DO occasionally update they usually br

Oracle acquired two of our customers. Within 2 years they were both dead. Meanwhile every other company in the same industry was thriving. Oracle is where things go to die. RIP TikTok.

I'm taking the "minimum cognition principle" ... the least time required to make a decision the better. It's like riding a bike - if you had to think about it you might get in an accident.

React hooks I think are 70% cool and 30% anti-pattern. The problem is that there are subtle bugs that just aren't obvious at first. Here's a simple one. let count: number = 0; const myCallback = React.useCallback(() => { ++c
