Wouldn't work for me without the ability to add other exercises. I'm also not familiar with a lot of these exercises, so descriptions and images would be very helpful.

I'm aware that they reversed those decisions, which I see as proof that broad customer dissatisfaction with those choices forced them to walk back those cash grabs. I recognize that these events could be interpreted differently, but th

I agree with this. The main aspect in which they've lost their way in my mind is that their product design choices are intended to appeal to customers only as means to profit, rather than choices that earn profit as a side effect of de

I despise Google and many of their practices - but I'm mulling over whether "spying" is a fair characterization here. Was this profile not built from searches that were manually submitted directly to Google? If you have turne

I was thinking this too. My favorite fishing lake was recently found to have unsafe levels of PFAs. I suspect that if we pumped the lake through an electron beam purifier, it wouldn't be my favorite fishing lake anymore.

Well, that was not at all an expected reply, but it's well-received. Thank you for the thoughtful linguistic advice; I'll keep it in mind.

As a W2 software developer, I've held options at three companies and RSUs at two. I've netted around $30K from RSUs, and netted a loss of $20K from options. Only once did my options "liquify," when a startup I had worked

If you do this, you need to think through all the possible types for the comparators and how type coercion will affect the expression. For example, `0 == ''`, `[] == ''`, and `[] != []` are all `true`. If you're usi

I wonder if it looks different on different platforms. My first reaction looking at the site was that it looked super grainy - a lot of the embedded screenshots and interactive snippets are almost too noisy to read. I played with the settin

I'm not going to dive in and play with it, but often it can help to add the CSS rule "transform: translateZ(0)" in order to force rendering to the GPU instead of CPU.

One of the biggest warts is the difference between the == and === operators. Eich attempted to alter the behavior of == in order to fix it, but was not allowed to ship the change for fear of backwards incompatibility, forcing him to add a n

The rings are extremely dark, reflecting only 2% of incoming light. The James Webb image is an infrared photo, and doesn't show what the planet looks like.

Your emphasis on true color is worth underscoring. I think it's a bit unfair to publish a photo like this one from James Webb without providing a few less-stylized edits for comparison, and an explanation of what the colorization proce

The special property of a DAG is that there are no cyclic paths between nodes. In the DOM, every node has a path to every other node, so you can create infinite loops (e.g. element.parentNode.nextElementSibling.previousElementSibling.firstC

How is React state not a DAG out of the box? What problems does this solve? The pitch appears to be: > any outside change (user action, api result) unleashes a graph traversal. Our UI components become much simpler, because they just nee

I chose Mithril with JSX for a real startup's main product. It felt like what I expected React to feel like, and it scaled with no issues. The only downside is that everyone on your team is anxious that they're missing out on mark

I imagine the commenter was calling out what they perceived to be an inauthentic yet carefully planned facade of diversity. This marketing trend rubs me the wrong way as well, because it reminds me of how I was raised and educated as a 90s

I can't speak for others but I'm definitely not blindly following group-think on this. There are countless uses for energy, and the idea that mining crypto is the best possible use for excess renewable power is a bold statement th

Your point of view here seems to neglect energy storage. There is no use for excess renewables that is more productive than storing it for later, when intermittent renewables go offline. Stored renewable energy is the only thing that can re

iPhone 8 and later support inductive charging. But it's not perfect - my wife's phone was melted by a third-party inductive charging pad that was intended for use with iPhones.

The coolest thing I made is probably my two-tier, 3-kettle, 240v E-HERMS homebrewing system, but that was probably only about 15% fabrication and 85% integrating off-the-shelf hardware. For some reason, the thing that still feels the cooles
