Sites like this where you can't use default actions like pinch zoom on the mobile view make me sad. Couldn't zoom in on the picture until I switched to the "force desktop view" option.

One of my previous employers had an Elm frontend and a React frontend. Basically all development on the Elm side was slower. New hires generally had used React before in at least some capacity, but everyone had to learn Elm from scratch.

The author spends the bulk of the post (as far as I could tell from the opaque writing style) criticizing React and the React ecosystem. But when you see the first footnote for their recommended alternatives, many are very similar to React

Blaseball is so great. Baseball already serializes well to text based (like listening to a play by play on the radio) and then they started mixing things in like 4th base, unruns, crow attacks, etc that I loved. I almost want to make my o

I wanted to make a map of my high school for CSS but I thought it would be too taboo in the post columbine world, so instead I made a version of my parents house with some added ladders. Honestly it was great fun playing with my friends wh

Probably not a universal rule that the oldest chooses the radio station, but Japan used to have a strong culture of age based seniority and social hierarchy. A traditional Japanese introduction involves a slight verbal dance around sharing

I was gonna say baseball, keeps at least a few people in their surrounding areas tuned into AM (Oakland As for me). Probably won't last forever but it's still damn satisfying to be able to catch the game over the local airwaves.

A bad commit (that one of my coworkers always does) is "update file.ext". Says nothing other than the name of the file that was updated, which ends up with tons of repeat commit messages for common files and provides zero info th

I use it every MLB season and love it! Thank you for your work. Baseball is the perfect sport to go plain text, it already works really well over the radio etc.

Not sure what "perspective" you are trying to put this in by offering these comparison points between OpenAI and Google. Are you trying to say that OpenAI is more reliable than Google? For additional perspective, OpenAI has a ver

The Python 2-3 transition was terrible and may have changed the course of my career. I was just getting into programming and thought Python would be a good place to start, but ended up being put off by the schism between the two versions.

The fact that it doesn't highlight where you've moved already makes it no fun. Edit: the directions weren't super clear. I see that you're actually supposed to go to every square in a specific order (first G8, then F8,

I struggled to use Dall-E when it had stricter filters. It seemed like most queries would get flagged as inappropriate even when clearly not, you couldn't upload any image with any form of face detected, etc. Since then they changed

You can still agree with your common sense on the things you mentioned (public policy, quantum mechanics, etc). Do a little research and decide if you think it's plausible or not. You can also disagree and that's fine too. There

Doing "negative" pullups also helped me build up from zero to a max of about ten regular pullups in one set. Unfortunately I took a long break from strength training and can now barely do 1-2. Was just thinking of going back to

Infinity is an infinitely high number. What is Infinity plus one? It must still be Infinity, since it's already infinitely high and can't go any higher. But if you have an odd number and add one, you get an even number (and vice

Many celebrities end up burning out or spending all their money, start failed businesses, etc. Rihanna imo is very savvy and the Fenty brand was a very successful business, involving a couple pivots from fashion to more lingerie and beauty.
