In a lot of cases, you don't really. Most cases it is pretty easy to guess what you'd want to show. I'd the say the case where you really want to choose IS the hedge case. Moment.js does it, and I never felt like it wasn&#x27

The article doesn't mention if this is actually good for ergonomics. Can anyone comment on this?

I lived for ~10 years in Montreal. From high school to post college, until I moved to SF. My family is still there, so get to go back about twice a year. I really love Montreal, and every time I'm back I think about the possibility to

It's nice to see more libraries helping for this kind of things. But looking at the article it seems like the api needs you to pass the language and the unit (days, hours, etc). Does anyone know if there exists an option to not add one

It's been over 6hrs without update, except the hourly message which states the same. I'm really looking forward this post mortem, but having been in the situation where I've had to deal with large scale outages like this one,

I've never been in the game, so it's hard for me to judge, and too easy to say "yeah! Always do the right/perfect thing". I still appreciate this kind of comments, especially is they help some people, sometimes

full disclosure: I used to work at Uber. I'd be interested in hearing more about the claims made at the beginning of the article and the sources of those. I moved to SF in 2012 when uber was barely a thing (still only black cars) and h

Looking at the cost of hiring, it's crazy to see that the employee only gets ~50% (or even less as the salary grows) than what the employer pays. This makes it very expensive for an employer to pay their employees well, and explains ve

yes it does indeed. I'm not saying it's perfect, but it is a very convenient way of generating a static site with more complex content than simple markdown :)

by jypepin 8y ago
To address OP's point about the need to have a bit more control and freedom in the complexity of the content (instead of having only markdown etc), Next.js offers an "export" script that will export the app as a static asset.

That's a question I've always had about WeWork (or other co-working spaces, I've never really been in one, except for events). Do people actually really socialise and meet other people? I'd expect that people go there to

Ok, I'm a web dev and I hate having to deal with web servers, configs, CI, etc. The idea sounds great, but I can't understand how this works from this post. Can someone explain how this works exactly? Are they basically offering a

I think the question was equivalent to "why use this over facebook videos on the phone or laptop" which you do already. How is it so much better than it requires the spend for this extra equipement. I'm also interesting to he

So Facebook's vision (according to what they communicate with their landing page) is that people basically want to be connected, by sound and video, all the time? "If you can’t be there, feel there". I mean... seems like a pe

That's an interesting strategy and I can't doubt that it works 100%, because, although I used to spend a lot of time on facebook, I find my feed more and more irrelevant now while not liking much irrelevant things. What has been t

This is pretty neat, but I think the shredded part would have been much easier/clean to make using linear-gradient, instead of having 1 div per shredded piece. Lynn Fisher has a great project[1] that shows great usage and powers of lin

Sundays / Mondays, yes, almost all stores are closed. Lunch time, not all of them close, but it is a fair part.

right. But if the buyer bought the piece because they just want to see it in their home, and now don't like anymore, then it is ruined for them, even if they can sell it for more money :)

I wonder if legally the buyer can retract the buy? Although I'm sure it's worth more with that. Funny how Banksy, who was anti commercial things before as a street artist, now is obviously very torn being selling out and not. He i

The opening about availability and our expectations hits right at home. I'm originally from France, where stores closing during lunch time, sundays and mondays all day is normal. I remember when I moved to Canada, it seemed so amazin
