I was wondering if you would mind being a bit more specific about your criticism towards React and the JS community? If you know React well, it seems like there are things that everyone can learn from or think about. Would you use vanilla J

Those were my reactions, too! The one thing that I want the most whenever I have to jump out of the CSS per-processor world and write regular CSS. It is worth noting that in SASS you can already refer to parent elements as they have shown w

I don't disagree with you on the potential financial burdens faced by PhD students but, in this case, and if I haven't missed anything, the infrastructural barrier is not high: > All experi-ments use a single thread on a Macboo

I think that may be a bit of an unfair statement. They do note just above in the public instances the following: > Note: Use public instances at your own discretion. Maintainers of Whoogle do not personally validate the integrity of thes

Maybe it was a different time and/or environment, but that couldn't be furthered from the truth according to my experience — even if I read that as a metaphorical door. Many of the people I have worked for/with who are amazin

Mn. :( By the time I found out about the 24-hour thing I couldn't edit my original post anymore, the Gist link that I included eventually include for an improved version was also a couple of levels down. If you are still interested, it

That's fair enough. We were lucky that hospital capacity wasn't much of a problem, but the lack of vaccination coverage together with a lot of... questionable strategies and mixed messages has done us in. Given there are still a l

Maybe I'm missing your point: but wouldn't one be more concerned if there are more people vaccinated and the number of cases is higher? Also, I was under the impression that the long-term effects of COVID isn't well underst

I guess "big" and "tiny" are subjective. My point still hasn't changed: that people who are saying that "we have X many cases in our city, your ~200 cases is nothing compared to ours" are perhaps over-triv

I'm not sure whether military intervention is right or not, but for everyone making comparisons based on absolute numbers, please note that the population in Sydney is tiny. If you take the lower population density into account, all

No pressure at all! I could just... not think about it if I didn't want to. :p I took another stab at it and this is what I ended up with: https://gist.github.com/honmanyau/5680d1c7b823d454122a0275ba... It's

I forgot to say that what you said is perfectly reasonable and not too different form my initial reaction. This is indeed very weird (but cool) science. :)

Thank you very much for taking the time to address my question! I feel that the system you already have at the moment actually works quite well, and investing the time to "speak directly with hiring managers/CEOs" is, I guess

I'm only asking because this looks like a great initiative, and it's something I care about: how do you plan to keep yourself accountable in the process? I have seen a lot of job boards catering to various niches popping up in rec

I was wondering if someone could comment on the pronunciation of "q" in Chinese (Mandarin). From time to time the advice that "q" is pronounced as "ch" pops up. While I have no issues with "q" soundin

I'm not sure what it is, but something about the colour palette used in the examples shown feels a bit off to my untrained eyes. Is there actually a job market for pure UI designers? I often see UI as only a small part of job descrip

Absolutely this. It feels like everyone either hasn't read the rest of the article, or conveniently ignored the "Mixing guided and unguided learning" section, then went on to cherry-pick quotes to trash the article. The irony

The author does say that it's problematic, but the relevant paragraphs only say that they are unexpected and then mixed the discussion with what would or wouldn't be more natural. The sentence you quoted is there to give context s
