The WPA and it's role in coming out of the depression are also lessons from history that people need to re-learn. Everything in moderation.

I was surprised that as a developer the poster complained about the trackpad so much. I wish I could get a system where I didn't need a pointing device at all. It just gets in the way of typing. I also personally hate gestures on track

This is the main reason I use this, though I use 2 space tabs and my coworkers use 4 space tabs. Things get ugly without editorconfig playing cop. I also force it to show rulers. It doesn't make the other devs grow a conscience, tho.

According to this, I'm a rogue employee. But instead of sneaking around to steal from the company, I'm trying to get another job. I guess I'll really be rogue then...

I saw a talk using interfaces to validate API calls/responses with typescript. I've been working in dynamically typed languages for a long time and I've built up habits that make it so I rarely run into issues where I am expe

I built a custom gulpfile that uses composer to manage the updating of WP and plugins along with building and FTP transfer a while back that I've been using for about a year. I should have built a swanky page and open-sourced it then :

I think the point is that to keep the project relevant the underling aging Gecko underpinnings may be going away. This would cause the maintainers to have to take on maintaining their dependencies as well as the core project. I can totally

It's sad that someone needed to write this. If only we had a pervasive moral organization like religion that could show us that all genders and races are to be equally respected. Oh, wait... we do... but they don't :(

How could the organizers put a price on an event that happens in the future? And provided they had a time machine, how could they determine it's value to you? Is it too advanced, too rudimentary? Does the description of the topics cove

with a $246 billion surplus you can focus on more than one product at a time with at least 10 times the budget of a company that can only focus on one product. If you can't figure out how to grow profits at this scale, you are terrible

I see media as being at least partly behind this. They can't advertise toys and games to kids on PBS. Regardless of how much time kids spend watching ads on non-PBS channels, there could always be more. The broadcaster hunger for these

meh. I'm starting to hate using GUIs reaching out for the mouse is almost as irritating as clicking it. Since my hands are already on the keyboard, I may as well type... Maybe that's why this is unimplemented. Maybe I'm not a

Regardless of the likelihood of a collapse, it is a possibility. No plan is a plan for failure. What's fascinating for me about this video is that it shows how the DPRK citizens have a hard time with capitalism (implying that it isn&#x

I found that the killer application for Javascript would be to write github repos for Javascript wrappers for typescript. Seriously, why is CSS as Javascript objects a thing? Are we so bored with the stack we've been using that we can

At the end of the day this is a war on the population. If you under educate people, they lack the tools to determine fake/sponsored science just as they can't differentiate between "fake news" and "real news".

Running xubuntu on my 2007 now. Will do the same on less expensive pc hardware when it dies. Apple wants to only sell iphones, so they're weaning users off their computers in the same order they weaned them on: starting with power user

I'm a Senior Web Developer and I have these skills. I do work in Advertising, but these skills would help anywhere. I've worked embedded with communications companies (in a B2C environment) and used these skills, so I wouldn'

I guess since ES5 is the language spec I've used the longest, I find refactoring vanilla JS to be enjoyable since most frameworks exist to clean up ugliness. Many frameworks add boilerplate and foreign patterns that can make this diffi

I fear a WebAssembly rise of Swift as the new Javascript running in iOS, WebAssembly and server environments. I tend to agree that ES6/7 is a more elegant option and more in the spirit of OSS these days, but the backing of Apple on Swi

If co-location is so great, why are they in six different offices? Call a layoff a layoff. I guess they avoid paying severance if you quit because you live in Idaho.

I'm curious what threat an iPad poses that a cellphone doesn't and what a terrorist can't do with a chron job that they would otherwise do with a laptop. It's not like they use a teleporter when they check your bags. It&

I wish I would have been turned down for the loans that paid for my MFA. I'll be paying $450/month until I'm in my 10th year of retirement on that loan. But then again, the school that I went to would probably not exist if it

I'm irritated that this was labeled NSFW over a nipple. The message is way too important to turn people away over being prudish. If HR reprimanded you over reading an article related to HR practices in regards to gender you need to poi
