The issue with this approach is that if you learn just "the fun parts" you might be left with some huge gaps in your knowledge, all that in-between stuff - especially if you're not a genius like Scholze. Standard approach is

People use Facebook and Twitter (and Hacker News) as a kind of crowd-sourced RSS, but with the fall of trust in soc. media and the rise of fake news retweets, I wouldn't completely dismiss a big come back of rss in the future.

Face to face time is good for team cohesion and building human to human connections, you have more trust in people that you've met personally (and trust is a big deal for remote work), but in my experience at least it's far less e

Well, in this context it doesn't mean "the best", it's more of a honorable title for highly skilled craftsman - something achievable with a lot of practice and hard work and love for that job. And while you're total

If you're good you can do well with a lot of career paths, e.g. master woodworker, or expert welder or a good accountant. Of course, you'd have to learn a lot of new things first and that takes years, so it's probably not suc

But if you combine the right skills it can be a huge advantage. The money is in the cross-sections of your expertise, that's niche where you rule. Say a translator with an inside knowledge of a particular industry is worth her weight i

IMHO it's a huge misconception that full-stack dev has to always equal a one-man band. Yup, if you're building small sites as a freelancer you probably do everything alone, but on any bigger projects you'll have a team - and

Nope, sorry, but being an asshole doesn't make you less of an engineer. It makes you a poor choice for a team and a bad hire, but that's a different story. In other industries it's better defined, you pass the exams, you get

I think that TDD is in a way "sketching" for programmers, you draw the outline (the expected results), and then you fill in and refine the details one by one to make the code work. When dealing with the complex code I also have a

Considering that I spend at least 30% of my work time in the command line I really have some doubts about these "text is obsolete" ideas.

But what are the chances that the college hire who had became the wizard is still in that same company after 10 years? It's ridiculous to hire with that kind of long-term expectations.

not just that, my grandpa owned a grocery shopping bag/dolly with exactly the same 3 wheels idea, and it was like 30 years ago... they might have perfected an existing idea, but that idea is around for long time...

This is not about blocking accounts of people in Iran, which is a totally legit thing to do. This is about blocking someone who is of Iranian origin, but claims to live in Canada for years and has no business connections with Iran whatsoeve

Will this affect SPA routers? How is "without the user's intention" defined, does it mean programmatically added items or something else?

And the saddest thing is that this javascript is mainly used for a) tracking and b) useless UI features that stopped being impressive to anyone like 10 years ago (highjacking the scroll, parallax, sliders, etc.)

Yeah, monoculture is bad, but also having to constantly joggle between different engines when developing for web is not all that great either. So this is also a step toward a dream of having fully standardized set of web browsers' feat

In cold climate it might not be so much more energy because greenhouses need to be heated in winters and it takes a lot of energy too. For instance 2kW heater is not much, compared to a 2kW light fixture which is like 5 strong led consoles

In my experience social insects have much more individuality than most people believe. I kept ants for a while and it was shocking to me how each of them has it's own, unique patterns of behavior. Some like to wander far outside, some

Don't forget the Great Tokyo Air Raid in 1945, when 100K civilians were killed in a single attack (plus they used incendiary bombs and attacked during the night, when people were sleeping). Over a million people was left without homes

IMHO there are only 2 long-term solutions to this type of problems: 1) Reduce the number of external dependences as much as possible 2) Pay authors to properly maintain the packages that you rely on. If you use them on commercial projects
