Not sure about 1Password, but I am using Bitwarden free and there's no authenticator app. I just use Authy on Android, though, it works great

I don't know, I have been using SASS/LESS for a while and I almost never use the & because 95% of the time, I am talking about a descendant when I use nesting. I think it would be very easy to accidentally typo or miss in a re

The best part about it for me is just the Intellisense (in Typescript). I'm using it on probably 3/5 lines that I write as a smarter version, but I rarely use it to do more than finish the current line I am writing.

They are the scum of the universe. If you don't pay for your seats, they will separate you and your party even if there are available seats together, because they know you'll shell out cash to fix it. (I think American does this n

It's the politicians that enable this behavior. How many Republican ads are of them shooting their political party's opponent?

I was just in Colombia, and now you can use Google Lens on Android to translate posters and menus. It misses a lot but is "good enough" and you can even download languages for use offline.

A good book on this topic is Coders at Work. It is just a bunch of interviews with 15 OGs including Donald Knuth and Douglas Crockford.

My guess is none of them will ever replace Node.js, but they will all help shift the momentum of Node.js to be faster, better support for Typescript, etc. Similar to how folks created io.js at one point and that eventually got merged back i

It would be neat if people could post or request a reward on Github issues. Maybe it's a maintainer-only feature, since they have to sign off on the final value. This would enable a way to post requests for work without having to open

Looks cool! Bug report: clicking "See owners" or either of the products on Slice Gensis NFT result in an error page for me: "Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more informatio

I like having only one remote with my TV. I get minor anxiety when at other people's houses and they have 3-4 remotes or more, and usually only one person knows what they all do (the one that had to set it all up).

I'll be an anecdote: I literally only came back because of CSS3 and jQuery. Managing layout with tables and all hover effects with javascript did not sound like a fun career choice when I first started. And now I've fully embraced

As CEO, you get to decide if you have to hide things or not. And if you do, everyone underneath you will also hide things, and then everyone has to come to you for anything. I call this "hub and spoke" leadership. It's extrem

At least 10% of web dev today is being good at search prompts for Google. (And that's not necessarily a bad thing, it's just about finding the right tool or pattern for your specific problem)

It says they'll allow you to use it while you travel. I'm guessing they just won't let you use Netflix in more than one place at once.

All over NYC, there are empty buildings and apartments. There's space, but landlords are artificially reducing supply.

For sure. I have a bachelor's in Fine Arts but taught myself to code. I think the pendulum has swung too far, I need to get back to painting/drawing and exercise that muscle again :)

If you're using React, check out Material UI. I was a big fan of Bootstrap, but I didn't like that there was still so much for me to build. MUI comes with components for things like user avatars out of the box. But it doesn't

This is the worst. I always click it on accident. Glad I'm not the only one going crazy... if it can't load at first, then don't load it at all

All my friends built customized MySpace pages back in the day, but none of them are coders now. It gave you just enough tools to make a really interesting profile, but you would quickly hit a ceiling. During the same period, I was learning

Especially if you're a product-focused startup, the last thing you may actually need is an enthusiast for a language. 90% of the time you want people that just want to use the right tool for the job.

For personal use, GChat has really been hurt ever since they merged it into Mail. It's much harder to share files and access now. Also they took away video for some reason

We moved to Discord and I really miss the threads in Slack. (for example threads can last one week max). They definitely could be a lot worse.

That's easy to fix - young but also with experience. I don't know why we don't have some sane speed bumps for people that have political aspiration. Don't let judges be appointed if the bar deems them "unfit."
