Some minor feedback -- I would make it clearer on the landing page and in the docs that there is an npm module available for the web integration. As a frontend engineer, not being able to handle software dependencies as part of my standard

I could see this being useful when reporting bugs as well. Seems like the "Oops, something went wrong" screen is pretty standard for handling unexpected errors. Being able to programmatically trigger a user-detailed bug report w

Same, and I am probably younger than this guy. My really basic understanding after reading very slowly is he got some crypto asset from scammer, and he needed to approve lending it out to get some sort of crypto interest on it. But approvi

The lengths they went through were mind-boggling to me until he mentioned he has 9 figures sitting in a public wallet. Then it made a lot of sense. At first I thought he had maybe a few hundred thousand, partly because he was happy to acc

I had never heard of DAOs before this and am struggling to wrap my head around it. It seems similar to any other venture with shareholders, except the shareholders need to reach consensus for any sort of financial transaction. Is that rig

And now everyone who needs to read your script needs to also find those examples to figure out what your code does. Even your not-real-world example isn't obvious to anyone unfamiliar with jq what the intent is
457.
by nfw2 5y ago
I feel this whenever anyone advocates using jq. It boggles my mind that anyone would want to learn a whole new DSL for something that js makes trivial, especially considering js a much more expressive scripting language anyway

Here are some things in Canada's favor. - The health insurance industry in the US has a lot of problems, even if you have "good" insurance provided by a top employer. I needed a procedure earlier this year for a potentially

My objection was to the view that supporting only 99% of users is "bad" in some absolute way. Obviously 100% is better than 99%, but good and bad are relative, and 99% might be good enough when considering the actual needs of the

It seems weird to talk about something as "good user experience" or "bad user experience" in a universal sense without a specific use case in mind. Something can be a good experience for one set of users and a poor expe

In my own experience, I've struggled the most with burnout specifically while on a DX team. The team was managed and entirely comprised of engineers transferred from other departments, most of whom had little-to-no interest in HCI, hu

People who are turned off by this language are not the people the team wants. They want engineers who feel deeply satisfied when things work and work well because those are the ones that will obsess over the consumer experience. If you are

When something is terrible, then becomes not-so-terrible (like the JIRA issues page), it makes me happy. That's what they mean. Solving developer's problems so they can make them happier, or, for the jaded one, at least not as m

Most companies still expect people to document their availability and absences. Some people still frown upon those that don't follow the butt-in-seat rules. Some managers (I've had some really bad ones) will try to keep you under

I don't think there is some absolute law of design* that says all users must be supported. If a startup is still struggling to reach profitability, they generally will invest all their efforts into supporting one niche really well, no

Thanks for the link! I didn't mean Dune looked intentionally fake, but I think there was some cohesiveness in the creative decisions behind the VFX, the cinematography, the set and costumes designs, the editing, etc. that intentionall

Also, Dune is a science fiction movie. Looking as real as possible was not necessarily the goal, but rather to maintain a stylized glean appropriate for a movie with hunter-seekers, force-fields, and sand worms. I think the VFX approach wo

My former roommate who works at LinkedIn spends a lot of time hanging out with friends from work. They do things together multiple times a week. Maybe you should try getting a FAANG job and moving to SF/LA/NYC? Also, my impressi

Nutritional literature is notoriously contradictory. Here's an article that says higher intake of dairy fat is associated with higher risk of cardiovascular disease. https://www.clinicalnutritionjournal.com/article&#x2F

Absolutely this. The argument that 500k for 10% is always an overvaluation seems pretty bad. If you're a team of first-time founders and haven't found market fit yet, getting any investment from VC's might be a challenge.

My understanding is that access to the image (or whatever) is absolutely not the point of NFT's. It's all about bragging rights. People want to be able to say they are considered the owner of something. Sure, the ownership only

by nfw2 5y ago
The article points out, sort of as an afterthought, that there is exclusivity in an abstract "bragging rights" way. Isn't that the whole point of NFT's? Not that I would buy one, but in the US (and many other countries),

IMO it's generally good advice to be wary of rolling too many disjoint use cases into one abstraction, and I think that's the rationale behind recommending polymorphism, but the ergonomics of actually writing OO code make it impra

Are you the only working on the codebase? It may be easy to rewrite your own codebase, but it's certainly not easy to rewrite someone else's. Especially if they haven't been caring about code quality and/or test covera

by nfw2 5y ago
Usually you can't delete half your codebase and re-build it at zero cost. The cost of developing a codebase is often the primary cost for software companies.

Any API can have issues, but an imperative api has some advantages in my opinion. The boundaries of an imperative api are atomic and easily well-defined. When something goes wrong, it is possible to look at the methods individually and fig
