I read the comment you're replying to as very sarcastic - I'm assuming they don't actually believe wanting time off together with friends and family is irrational.

Adding my vote here too. I recently finished listening to the audiobooks for the fourth time. I don't read (listen to) a crazy amount of fiction, but probably much more than most people, and this series is far and away the best I have

I'd be willing to take you up on that (well, maybe an hour or so rather than a day). I feel the same about vim - there are certain workflows I have that I can't adequately recreate in other editors, so I keep coming back. I'

It searches the page for and removes all elements that have a "sticky" or "fixed" position. Elements positioned in those ways stay in the frame all the time, and are usually used for things like: videos that follow you,

Certainly everyone is entitled to an opinion :). I'll echo the posts you replied to and say that the current 2 books in the KKC series are by far the best fiction I've ever read. I've listened to them at least 3x each on au

The only reason I mention it is that - maybe in an effort to make these articles more enticing - they seem to all bring up the fact that you may be eating some amount of wasp when eating figs. I agree with you in that I don't think any

When I see figs come up in popular media lately, it's always in regards to the unlikely way in which they're pollinated in the wild. While it is very interesting, and may possibly be important to people eating vegan diets, it fe

Also worth noting that it's ~37kb over the wire, applies to the whole site (where it is much more thoroughly used), and contains a bunch of svg icons that don't need to be loaded in separate requests. If anything, that reinforces

We have solutions to this for most (maybe all) contexts, at least as far as agriculture is concerned, in regenerative agriculture[0]. It requires a paradigm shift from the dominant type of agriculture taking place in the US and many other p

You're getting a lot of responses that answer some of the questions you're asking, but not really addressing the whole picture. There are a lot of techniques and tools you could use to figure out when and how much fertilizer to ad

I've been gardening for a few years and have had some similar problems and learned a lot. I also really dislike using chemicals. Each problem calls for a different approach, and sometimes the approach can create problems :). With fungi

Because (comparing DO to AWS) it is much cheaper for many use cases, there is good tooling and documentation, and the user experience is dramatically better. I'm curious - on what did you base your assumptions?

I don’t know if I follow, are you saying the second example is a problem? If you are, it’s not clear to me why that is. And are you sure the scooter was going 45mph? That seems unrealistically fast given that even on my bike (which is proba

They should, yes. That bug was actually fixed in one of the 2.0.0 betas ( https://electronjs.org/releases#2.0.0-beta.1 ) – those apps may just be slow to catch up.

Other users have already commented, but basically you can wrap jQuery libraries in React components and do a bit of extra work in the lifecycle methods (componentDidMount, componentWillUnmount, etc.) to manage the jQuery bits. Once you&#x27

I've heard great things about Vue.js (mostly on HN) but I haven't tried it myself. I'm pretty invested in React (I use it at work and for personal projects), and I find it to be a pleasure to use so I'm not actively seek

Compared with Backbone, I was able to compose and re-compose component structures much more easily. Compared to Angular (which I admittedly don't really know) the API learning curve felt very short and I was able to wrap my head arou

Not OP, but I've also been using Django for (more than) my whole career and I use React on the frontend. If you're curious about the frontend path I took, it was roughly: * jQuery with no framework * Backbone (for a couple years)

As someone who's been obsessing over SBCs recently, your comment really got me thinking. Many of the additions/changes I want to make to my Raspberry Pis is to make them more like a smartphone (microphone, camera, GPS, touchscreen

I get that, and I haven't done any updates yet, but from the research I've done I don't expect much trouble until the next major version of macOS. We'll see how it stands up over time.

That's reasonable, it sounds like we just have different priorities. I like to keep my backpack light bc I feel it in my shoulders by the end of the day and every bit makes a difference. I also find smaller/lighter laptops more pl

I'm excited about the potential of the Touchbar and I feel like a lot of the criticism towards it is unfair. Eg, "I'm a touch-typist and therefore don't want to look down at my keyboard". I almost always look down

I've listened to Sam Harris' stuff too not long ago and I'm not sure if it changed my life, but it definitely blew my mind and is part of a broader interest in this type of stuff that is changing my life. I don't agree
