I mean, cable was already in the niche catering business in the 90s. Gordon Ramsay or Jacques Cousteau or Mythbusters are all quite niche IMHO. I'd be willing to acknowledge that the existence of gaming/mukbang/etc content cr

I mentioned downthread about a project called Styletron, which has styled-components-like devexp, but compiles to atomic CSS for the bundle size benefits. Another variation I've seen is a combination of atomic CSS and Mithril.js'

Some technical thoughts as someone who could care less about fanboyism: - One point where atomic CSS frameworks are supposed to shine over conventional CSS is bundle size, since they (at least the good ones) compile to only a single rule fo

Lego sets these days seem geared more towards vapid consumerism than to promote free flow creative building. My kids found a way to fill that gap via knex. I don't agree that only adults take enjoyment in the final product. It's j

I'll add my two cents as someone who works at Uber (another company that people here like to take potshots at). For the vast majority of employees, it's just tiresome to keep hearing negative hot takes being parroted over and over

It goes even further than the "difficult to work with" vibes. If someone has 20+ years of experience and hundreds of interviews under their belts, they ought to know about candidate caliber variability and the meaning of standar

One bit of dirty laundry to keep in mind with FAANG and friends is that the interview process is somewhat self-selecting. Often times, the very people that crammed leetcode in the hopes of landing FAANG roles are the ones interviewing candi

The way I structure my coding interviews is to have a simple first question that anyone should be able to solve, and then a follow-up "ok, let's now add this feature" question. I tell them upfront that googling is ok and give

Yep. I think it goes further than whether there's a published paper about. It boils down to "does the question have exactly one correct answer?" One important thing you learn in interviewer workshops is to avoid asking questi

I suggested one such idea (a diffing version of innerHTML) years ago to Mozilla. Ironically, the React team was against it and it fizzled out. In more ironic twists of events, someone eventually wrote a JS implementation of it: https:&#x2F

There's definitely an anchoring effect going on. I remember when dart came out and people were like "lol 100kb hello world, wtf" and now people say "4mb app is reasonable" and nobody bats an eyelid.

Suspiciously absent is info on the battery life of these collars. How does one go about changing them? Do you line up 100+ cows every few days and just sit there for a couple of hours changing batteries every time?
