For Javascript, I learned a ton from Frontend Masters. In particular for a deeper understanding of the language, Kyle Simpson's Deep Javascript Foundations where he connects the behavior of Javascript to the Standard. Overall, they hav

Interesting. I feel like coding is not that dissimilar. In the early phases of learning a new coding language, I learn how to write lines of code. Sometimes it compiles, most of the time it would cause errors. At some point it works, but a

That seems to ring true. At lower levels like where I'm at, players are prone to mistakes and blunders, so having a good eye for tactics allows you to take advantage of those moments in the game as well as prevent yourself from getting

The section is clearly dripping with irony. They even have an "Irony detected" box at the very top which acts as the sarcasm/satire tag so many people seem to use to bang over our heads that it's not serious.

I'm going through the process right now and I think my favorite one was an interview with a company that basically asked me to review some mock code which had nothing to do with their business just to get a sense of a) my thought proce

To be honest, I find Lichess tactics to be a bit too obvious in the sense of not requiring as much foresight into what the opponent might do, at least in comparison to Chess Tempo which may have say, a fork but it requires more steps to get

Regarding your first point, I think it's both honestly. I've lived in various major Western cities in NA/EU/AU and SV was cut by a different cloth. I've never met such a confluence of interesting contrarians in my e

In my teens and twenties, I would've been like "what a lovely gesture." Now that I'm in my thirties and we've gone through various social movements, I think "whoa, what a creeper." Specifically the whole j

I don't think you're a gatekeeper, I just don't see the relevance to the author. He's a library designer and is working with a team maintaining and updating one of the most popular Javascript libraries in the world. He h

I recall listening to a recent interview with Chris Lattner who said the more languages you learn the faster it is to pick up others because of the overlaps. Working in other languages, the idea of references and values didn't kick in

Just to +1 the two of yours assertions, I've been experiencing the same. I recall one agency had a tagline "specialization is for insects" but the reality I've found for applying is a number of tech teams have pretty rig

What's interesting to me is what's missing in this post is ethnicity. When I first started online dating, I noticed something curious, as an Asian male I got zero responses from non-Asian women from my parents country of origin. F

Airbnb in the less urban areas where I live was incredibly popular during the summer / fall. Covid-19 encouraged people in the city I live in to travel in the province instead of go to other countries.

Yup. The computer will be able to find optimal plays that require looking ahead several turns ahead while blundering obvious moves (e.g. capturing a piece that's clearly hanging after you used that same piece to capture their piece). O

I tend to agree. There are some days in the week when I'm not checked in mentally and very unproductive. During those days, I'm better served to either sleep more or do something light to recharge for the next day/later in th

I ended up buying an expensive mechanic keyboard because a coder I follow on YouTube had such a beautiful sounding keyboard whenever he typed, that I had to get something similar. I'm not even going to try justifying the cost based eff
