Do you have any verifiable information to back up the claim that test prep doesn't improve scores? I have a handful of sources that disagree. https://www.act.org/content/dam/act/unsecured/documents&#

Not that I disagree with the article, ternaries are more powerful than && but for the first example, would `contacts.length > 0 && ...` suffice? It's also interesting that PayPal's team didn't have tests ar

What do you mean by massive disaster ahead? Are you stating there is a massive disaster ahead, or COVID has steered us into a direction that adverts that?

No, I think someone should be *excluded* from talking at a conference because they literally write Eugenics theory, regardless of the brackets, semicolons and spaces they write in a text editor. It sounds like we just have a difference in m

I wasn't familiar with Curtis Yarvin, but in looking him up, you can't be serious, right? >Yarvin's online writings, many under his pseudonym Mencius Moldbug, convey blatantly racist views. He expresses the belief that whi

And not even just contributors. Users of your project might not want to interact with your team. If I encounter a bug and want to create an issue, but I either see racism within communication, or just overall negativity in comments from mem

The classic "free market will decide if being an asshole is worth it to them". This notion is ironic seeing how an entire moderation team resigned. Sounds like they decided it wasn't worth it. Outing toxic contributors so the

This entire comment reads odd. The begging. The purchasing ETH with severance. The multiple advertisements. I'm glad it worked out for you, but this is a 1% of 1% tier of luck (especially situationally).

For those add-ons, don't you have to provide them with the prompts? You still need to actively _know_ how to do something to have it provide you with information. You can use something like LunarVim which has everything already setup.

Would you say that BASIC is more intuitive for web development than JavaScript? The syntax of something is only one part of its intuitiveness. A large part is the context of which it is used.

Yes, it is a bizarre comparison because of that fact. A programming language will never be more intuitive than "just a serialization format". Also, the argument that lisp's s-expressions are just as intuitive as JSON is verif

VSCode allows you to export settings and keybinds via JSON files. Also, saying EMacs Lisp is more intuitive than JSON is quite absurd. You could give a 15 minute presentation on how to read JSON to someone who knows how to use Word and they

Is there a reason why you have to rest your finger on the trackpad? For myself I view the trackpad as the one place you'd want to avoid resting any appendages on, unless you need to interact with it. For example, I haven't heard o

Not sure I understand the hate on tap to click? A single tap has always felt more responsive than a forced click, especially when clicking on a larger trackpad that has to have a large percentage of the pad actuated. I think the use of mult

Not sure what the point was of you bringing this up. Are you saying that you liked only having 2 toilets and 1 shower per 16 people? Are you saying that since your experience was that, others should have similar? Just trying to understand t

How many "cookie cutter 'luxury' apartment complexes" do you know that house 4500 people? Let's forgo the absolute number, what about the population density? 94% of the residents won't have windows. Can you lis

Is there any proof of this claim? I always see these types of quotes brought up on Hackernews; an overly simplistic worldview that normally groups humans in to three sub-categories. In these sub-categories there's always a group that&#

That's interesting. How much do you make a year, if you don't mind me asking? Have you ever tried to purchase a large asset such as a house?
