This is what's been somewhat hard about quitting/boycotting Reddit for me. Ultimately the community comes before the platform and Reddit happened to house a lot of good communities. I admit to breaking my boycott when the only ans

That would make a lot of sense, I wonder if there's a good way to identify activity. Perhaps looking at the # of subscribers/active users that Reddit reports (but I'm not sure if historical data for this is kept).

Wow, I figured from hearsay that it was unchanged. Thanks for letting me know. I admit to being wrong about most people not caring, at least judging from the numbers you gave.

I think the changes to Reddit suggest that we (the ones complaining about Reddit) are but a small minority. I really thought Reddit would revert their API changes after seeing the community response, but then... nothing happened. This was t

https://setapp.com is one example of a service that does bundling, albeit by offering what seems to be the full features of many things for a single subscription price (instead of your thought of a subset of features). It's

While the piece is thought-provoking, I think that the author would do well to substantiate their claims. Even an interview with some hypothetical "side hustlers" to understand their motivations would be better than guessing why t

I'm not saying I like it either, but I find that it wasn't hard to get used to. Probably because I use arrow keys a fair deal outside of contexts with vim keybinds so I was forced to adjust. I've also adjusted to: the Happy H

Anecdotally, I did not have too much of an issue switching to a columnar layout - I would give it a shot if you were interested. I've been using a Moonlander for about a year. I feel like it took at most a week for me to adjust and to

Any recommendations for cross-platform apps? I know that I need to take breaks but keeping to it is difficult for me.

I don't think that the bad newcomer experience is by design. But I do think that it could be a lot better with a redesign. Here's how I've seen it played out before: --- johnnydoe2002 posts a question titled "How do I ge

If I may offer an explanation, I think it's because the OP is upfront about the browser being about customization and personalization. I clicked on the link first thinking "another reskin" and expecting to see the comments yo

I've thought about this or something similar (e.g. ArchiveBox). It seems like 95-99% of the content you archive will be junk that you never look at again, but that 1-4% really might be worth it. Especially if it gets taken down. What d

Thanks for your response. I thought I would get some insight into how a very different person reacts, but I think we are actually a lot more similar than I thought :) I can certainly relate to how you feel. Guess it just goes to show that m

Could you describe what it feels like to have your emotional batteries empty? I'm trying to imagine how I would feel if I were in your shoes trying to woo customers. I think the negative feelings I would have afterwards would be forms

I'd also like to give you kudos. I've been dealing with a similar thing, but for me part of the problem is the difficulty of even taking the first step. It seems like you've taken many first steps! I think there's an iss

I agree with the nature of your comment, but I would like to make a small tweak to it: instead of presenting people as "naturally" being introverted or extroverted, I would like to posit that the extroverts you refer to are just m

I imagine that my generation is far from the one you're talking about. Could you elaborate more on what it was like "in the old days," what has changed, and what you miss? Or is it hard to put your finger on?

You're welcome! Yeah I'll be honest I think I have the resume game down OK but I'm clueless about cover letters. I like to believe that jobs only care about stated ability but I would also believe that if a recruiter had to p

by cole-k 4y ago
That's fair. I was under the impression that when places give you the chance to put a portfolio/personal website link, the people reading your application glance through them. I took a look at your resume. I feel I agree with most

Honestly I quite like your portfolio. Judging from it alone I'd give you an interview if I were a recruiter. However, I'm not, so I couldn't tell you what sort of secret sauce goes into that pre-interview pass. My experience

Right you are, I never remember the proper name for the instance. I only use it to spaghettify code.

Part of it (but certainly not all of it) is because of all the funny instances hanging around. I'm able to exploit the Semigroup b => (a -> Semigroup b) instance in a WIP version for example. And using (<*>) on the Applicat

At least on the Code Golf Stack Exchange, I see a lot of people using esolangs for golfing (two random examples: Jelly [1] and O5AB1E [2]). I expect that it could be a line or two shorter at least with a change of language. As I recall some

You know I'm in too deep when the first thing I thought when reading this was "Oh no, not my Rick Rolll!" because now `g` wraps around to `}` instead of a variable. Initial readers noted that the code blocks were unreadable f

I don't personally know of one. It's not that I particularly intended this to be obfuscated, either, I just wanted it to be short. OK, I did rearrange it to spell out a rick roll but the impact to readability on that point was pro

I couldn't resist and clicked your link, but thankfully it is early and I couldn't quite understand how to port it to the `f . moveRight . f` format. So really it is a shame that nothing can be done about golfing this further and

It would've certainly been nice to avoid playing Bin Packing, but alas this is just the rules of the game jam.
