It’s pretty sensationalist but I don’t disagree with the content of the message: by sticking with a float or flexbox-based grid system from a framework, you’re not learning the intricacies of newer tech like grid. That being said, for most

Not just you. All I see is mostly a Dribbble feed, so I can’t really connect these random shots to the alleged purpose of the site: “top digital products and trends in design”

Plenty just stick with the Financial Independence without getting into Retiring Early. But the latter does imply that you withdraw yourself from work, at least from being a sole contributor to a business you don’t own.

Other than the biggest costs—housing, food, transportation and perhaps healthcare—I doubt people that FIREd have withdrawn 100% from inconspicuous consumption. They just focus that consumption on more necessities than frivolities.

To most of my family in the Philippines, from children to elders, they only started using the internet heavily when Facebook was available (cell phones and decent data coverage were big enablers of that though). Facebook provides clear util

In particular, this kind of low-tech spoofing could have been mitigated if the email client had highlighted the fact that the sender’s “name” was nearly identical to the sending address, and therefore likely a phishing email.

Think a smarter, more sustainable usage model phone companies should depend on is controlled use, not addiction. You eventually just get an unhappy userbase that’s about to burn themselves out of your ecosystem with the latter. Think this

Did you know what caused your 3GS to pass on? Wondering how many phones out there could be given a second lease on life if just given a battery replacement.

My first freelance gig was a friend whose startup just came out of a YC co-hort and needed UI/front-end help (I had just left the company both of us had worked together at at one point). He already knew what I was capable of so there w

Maybe compartmentalizing happiness scores to how one felt during work time, during personal time and overall for the day would help mitigate this.

If they are consistent you can probably use your ad blocker's element picker to selectively remove them.

True. Companies are hitting a lot of friction getting node sizes down to 7nm when compared to sizes from years or decades ago.

Until we find ways to add more bloat to the user requirements that will require a server-of-the-future to be more than a server-of-the-present.

This is more of a societal problem and to fix that requires some re-education of people that are coming into and only have been that society for a while, namely: - Be open to strangers - Be open to chance conversations (ie: remove your damn

Where I am in Canada, I haven’t found suburb libraries to be a safe haven either; you have bored, angst-ridden teens wanting to start fights there instead and there’s usually not as much security to stop them compared to an urban library.

Have/had a similar issue. Many of the good friends I made in this city over the past years have moved, specifically to the more popular ones in Canada. Trying to rebuild that circle hasn’t worked out. I either run into acquisition prob

Are these mostly public groups you’re joining? I think the friction towards turning notifications off stems from Slack being primary a tool for work, where you’d probably have more reasons to be notified of events than in a public channel.

I see an article about this issue pop up every month or so. But what’s actually being done about it? Seems like the solutions are not catching up with the possible hurdles that get introduced.

We’re also now augmenting the problem with bluetooth earbuds becoming more ubiquitous, even if they’re not actively being used. At least for me I find it a bit more difficult to approach someone if I think they’re listening to something or

Seems specific to where you are. Like another poster I run into neither of those but people are still guarded and unwilling to chat to strangers, especially millennials, and this situation likely isn’t the same in other places facing a simi

Already mentioned, but Meetup and its kin (Eventbrite, Facebook events) are good gateways into meetups that you’d have enough interest in that the possibility of connecting with someone you’d get along with is high.

> This is so esoteric it's hard to even know what you're trying to say here. I'm sure you could find plenty of people with $10+ million net worths who feel beholden to act a certain way in the interests of certain people.

Nope I wasn’t part of the competitive scene. I was just an active participant in some of the fansite communities (BeyondUnreal, Planet Unreal) and the various mods like The Third Reich and Red Orchestra. The only artifact of that era I stil

I’ve also felt this experience when it comes to content creation for games. I missed the modding communities in the late 90s/early 00s that had a sense of place and community. Things tended to gravitate around their IRC channels and th
