They can be both addictive and bad.... I find myself clicking clickbait nonsense all the time. With annoying titles like "Funniest NFL celebration fails" or "Best cheeseburger in NYC" It's inane worthless content, t

and it's all crap. Very low quality content... especially on video. Terrible recommendations. YouTube has the same problem. Whoever is leading recs is doing a terrible job.

Constructive criticism: Images are huge and scaled down to fit the circular icons... Why not serve up an appropriately sized optimized image? This image you use is close to 4MB: https://magarshak.com/me/community.png W

I understand this paradigm within the context of stream processing, but it seems like a weird way of modeling most REST api-based web applications. I feel like a promise-based model makes way more sense for most simple web applications. Whe

social/chat based finance seems ripe for fraud to me. Imagine if a facebook worm had access to your finances. How do you overcome this concern? EDIT: I guess messenger does have it's own payment system too... which seems crazy to

I want to use and build tools that make my life more connected and enjoyable in the real world. I dont want to live in a ready-player-one-esque virtual world where I don't get physical connection with the people, places, and experience

I really don't find nesting to be a necessary part of the CSS spec and in fact find deeply nested CSS rules harder to reason about.

Same thing happens in my GFs Prius... So annoying we refer to it as an "aural assault". I can't help but think U2's release strategy was really negative publicity for them in the long run.

The original commenters point still stands though right? Also isn't addition of salt often a sign the chef/cook messed up and under-salted a dish?

Depends... I think if we want our economy to grow, kicking out potential workers doesn't seem to make sense. I do think we need control of our borders though in order to enforce things like tariffs, restrict prohibited items, human tra

FYI ICE does a lot of good work too like fighting child sex trafficking in other countries. ICE does a lot more than just immigration enforcement within the US borders.

Stating the obvious but... this is one of those things where you need to reach a certain number of people to reach a useful network effect. You need to push hard on marketing and onboarding. I like the idea... but unless there are people on

It's amazing to me that poor developers are still having to deal with email quirks. I was coding html emails in tables when I started 10+ years ago. It seems as though tooling may be better but the underlying client support is still dr

Just looked at Rulex briefly... am I the only one that thinks it isn't obviously more readable or easy to understand? Maybe it's because I've taken the time to master regex, but this syntax seems just as opaque as terse regex

I dunno I think there is a lot of historical revisionism happening in regards to how joyous coding in JavaScript used to be. I've been doing web-dev since the early 2000's, JavaScript is way more usable today than it's ever b
