You're spot on about your own discipline. Building on what mysterydip said above, your habits transfer almost entirely IMO. For example, if I'm working from home or answering an email, and my wife is using her phone, my daughter w

Parent here, of a toddler and a 1st grader, and based on my experience it's all about context. For example, if any of the following are true, the TV exists: TV is on or the children are inside and sedentary. Conversely, from the childr

Huh, I've actually never looked at them from that perspective, but it makes total sense.

Nice one, and relevant since I was just reading this HN post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13263852 There are a lot of nice events/history going on around front-end frameworks like Vue, React, etc. - the Infern

TL;DR - good article, just a couple of thoughts/questions. Interesting. So is this syntax: new Vue({ el: '#app', ... }); required for every element or component in the same way that this is? class App ext

That's a good one. I love that using free Sidekiq works just fine and that Pro is nice-to-have but not essential.

Neat. I'd love to see some resources explaining SVG like I'm 5. They aren't something I've ever had to work with but I continue to see articles and discussions talking about SVG rendering, etc. Anyone have a resource the

We've only recently started writing migrations using knex because we know the future of our platform is not Rails, as its past has been. I would like better abstraction for the up and down, as Rails has provided. Additionally, the docu

The article states that Pokémon GO was developed by Nintendo but it was developed by Niantic. Could it be that quality games starring classic and popular characters, at least those not originating from mobile, are just too expensive to prod

Interested to see whether this actually makes an impact. A Tesla is a relatively expensive automobile in the US. It seems like Tesla owners can likely afford $30 for a couple hours of parking depending on the circumstances. For instance, pa

I can generally agree with this save for two cases. One, I've found that major bumps in a programming language are significant, especially in the case of something like python 2 vs 3. Second, a lot of major javascript players have been

For me, it's definitely the un-skippable advertisements. Like, as a software developer and user, I despise when an API is exposed that allows an application or website to suspend expected behavior in favor of custom hijinks, but to me,

That's actually super interesting! I honestly wish I knew more about RAM to understand how that one process exposed the bug. :(

You're right, I'm thinking of GMI - Guaranteed Minimum Income - as I've seen the two spoken of interchangeably while that doesn't seem to be the case. My fear when comparing the two would be that UBI would, over an exten

Sometimes a headline makes me go "well, duh" and I wonder why it would need to be said at all. So, it makes me sad when a well-intentioned organization has to spend its time arguing something so overtly obvious, at least to me, ra

So UBI is fundamentally a safety-net; insurance, if you will. The "universal" quality is that all people will be eligible for UBI. Everyone will receive the difference between what they make and what UBI guarantees. It's sort
