Seriously, the amount of practice and skill-improvement a kid could get in an afternoon of trying out angles, cuts, and shot-movement, just trying to imitate some director or DP they like until they're getting similar results, all on

Same, same, and same. I think there's a tendency for anyone who halfway gets how computers work to end up in tech, because halfway getting how computers work pays much better than almost anything else that's anywhere near as easy

What sucks about panic buying is that it makes perfect sense to "panic buy" even if you don't think there will be an actual shortage, but only panic buying. Not being able to get what you want/need looks the same either

A lot of apparently-odd behavior during campaigns makes a lot more sense when you realize that GOTV (get out the vote), or suppressing your opponents' vote, can be a more effective use of time and resources than actually trying to sway

I always just took it as "good with", as in "handy with a chainsaw". Though it's old enough that it could mean almost anything—I don't know how far back the "good with" meaning of "handy" go

Your rate would be about normal for someone just starting out in their career, in a 3rd- or 4th-tier city with a local employer. On salary, not contract. So give them another, oh, $15-20K/yr to account for 7.5% employer-paid FICA and b

If the Nomad's display was anything like the SMS-based Sega Gamegear, then it may not have had CRT blur but it did put its own not-so-crisp spin on the picture: https://youtu.be/pU4jnSVfZsI?t=188 (left side at the time

If you operate under the same restrictions as React (single-threaded, you must call a setter method to modify properties rather than accessing them directly, code outside your class is responsible for deciding whether to call its "rend

Hooks are class-declaration except your properties and methods are read FIFO in declaration order, rather than by a lookup table. Unless you really like the FIFO part of it, OO languages all have that already.

I agree with others that "abuse" is a bit over the top, but I had people tell me that a few times, when I was in high school (never before or since). I don't know WTF was wrong with the rest of those people's lives, but,

The only thing that's kept everyone from doing that, so far, is accessibility. If not for that all the major ad platform companies (FB, Twitter, Google, and so on) would be already be all-in on Canvas. Accessibility concerns make it bo

I would agree that companies have mostly settled on paying 20% as much for development, at the cost of 5-10x the memory footprint and 5-10x the input latency in the finished program. I think the web tends to get hit the hardest by that beca

React (not just React, but they "meme"'d it) sold everyone on the DOM being slow. What they actually meant was that if you add & remove 5,000 elements one at a time in a loop, it's slow. If you don't do that it&

Not only that, if Chrome gets enough marketshare on iOS Google could do things like taking away 5-20% of a huge fraction of iOS devices' battery life just by shipping a somewhat less efficient build, plus doing the same with any embedd

I know some people doing 2-4 hours of work per day, getting 100% as much done as they did in the office, then playing with their kids or cooking or reading or making art or just watching TV while they leave work chat open. Many not in tech.
