   I tried the discussion approach instinctively in most of the interviews I performed. I tried to look at it as if both the interviewee and I are evaluating each other to see if we're a match. Kept the conversation light hearted and most

   There's plenty of space in the middle though, no? Bank accounts cut you off if you hit a zero balance, or they can execute your transactions and charge you a fee. Why can't these services implement throttling or even halting if th

   I completely gave up on giving whiteboard interviews after trying a couple of them. It's just so hard to get it right, and even if you do, I'm not sure you gain that much more useful knowledge as opposed to other interview style

   Haha yeah, I just changed my HN username a couple weeks ago. Thanks for the reminder.

   For years I wasted so much effort trying to make the most amazing personal website with the hope of impressing potential employers. I'm now at the most successful state of my career so far, and my site looks like this: https:/&#x

   For me it's about the fact that html was designed for documents with minimal interactivity, and while it's possible to represent a highly interactive application in html, it poses several significant headaches for developers. I

   I've been considering an approach like this, but I don't want to risk going back down the path of "having to name things".

   I take codidact as a portmanteau of "collaborative" and "didactic".

   Oh jeez, I'd never heard of this and I lived in the city for years. This is amazing, thanks!

    If I ever become wealthy, one of the things I'd love to do is fund a culinary museum. Imagine rotating exhibits where visitors can try samples of historical cuisines from around the world. Of course most of them would be loose approxim

    edit: I'd never spent much time looking at shadow dom, but it does appear that you can encapsulate styles with a shadow root. Had no idea - that's really interesting, thanks!

    Afaik that doesn’t solve the problem of global CSS. Whatever framework I use to build the application itself (right now I’m using Tailwind), I don’t want to risk it polluting the canvas itself.

    I’m using them in a css-based design tool I’m working on. The “canvas” is inside of an iframe so that I can completely control the styling irrespective of the application itself. There are definitely a few scenarios where they are useful.

    This is a strangely timed article, because just today I got fed up with this exact approach and I'm considering abandoning it. I've been writing React this way for about 2 years now. It's very nice...for small functions. But

    Yep. Just think about all the latest Jurassic Park films. They're almost identical to video games in story-telling quality.

    > our standards for story telling in video games are really low. At the same time, the upcoming Uncharted movie is looking to be substantially less interesting than Uncharted 4.

    I think the medium is still in such infancy that even the cinematic style games are still pushing the boundaries. Naughty Dog is making incredible experiences in that format.

    We used to use tables to style things that should be grids, now we use grids to style what should be tables. Back to square one :)

    Every time I’m given a table mockup, it’s flexible column widths with a sticky header. It’s damn near impossible even with JavaScript.

    Last year my (former) team and I spent months evaluating BI solutions. Every week we were having meetings with companies like Tableau, Looker, etc. In the end, my opinion was that we should just use CubeJS. Unfortunately it wasn’t mature en

    I think the author betrays their own political bias here, as journalism has become infused with over-the-top moral panics across the board. We've replaced single-issue moral panics with moral panics about nearly everything. We have a m

    Same experience with Firebase. I just joined a team that has been using it. I've never worked with serverless before, and it boggles my mind how anyone thought it would be a good idea. The cold starts are horrendous. In one case, it&#x
