Amen to this. There was the open source project that was essentially a Gecko version of Electron but of course it was very alpha and eventually was deprecated and abandoned. Perhaps the gold standard of Electron would allow you to choose th

I remember a similar list of questions being posted in the past that were for any engineering position. Couldn't find the one I was looking for but this was posted a while ago and seems pretty nice: https://www.keyvalues.com

I think there's a lot of potential for varied topics within rap. When you start listening to more politically aware artists or artists with meaningful lyrics then you start to see how amazing rappers can be. Logic sings about some main

I love the song. I personally would be much more interested in high quality lyrics, beat, audio recording, etc than a music video but that's just my opinion. Your flow in this song is much better than your "Opinions" song so

In all honesty, it sounds like a dangerous prank for the players. It's funny since it turned out alright but I don't think they knew it would be completely safe. I don't know how structurally sound the surface was there but i

The instructions don't load for me in Firefox so I had to open up in Chromium. I disabled my adblocker in FF but didn't do any in-depth troubleshooting.

It'll take some investment but I'd start by finding someone else that needs a code review and offer it to them first. From there you mention that you'd appreciate if they scratch your back as well. You can probably find some

This reminds me of the book The Glass Cage where the author talks about technology-centric design and human-centric design. I must agree that we shouldn't be changing humans to work with self driving cars. Cars should change humans and

The New York Post always seems a little sketchy to me, based on the articles I've read and their trashy ads, but I'm not really sure if that's a valid conclusion or just a quick judgment.

A car hookup (e.g. OBD2) that tracks your driving stats and then gamifies it. I know certain insurance companies have car hookups that supposedly can help you get a discount for safe driving but it would be more interesting to give feedback

Fully agreed. This is a funny post and an interesting connection but I'd imagine dogs and their sense of smell are way more complex than a single button press.

I can appreciate this philosophy but I don't think it's right for everyone. On the one hand, it's nice to have a safety net for times when pairing turns into one person programming while the other is spacing out. On the other

If I were on the Azure team I'd be offering tons of free credit to npmjs.org to get them to use Azure. Azure coming to the rescue would be the perfect ending to this story for Microsoft.
