Could you clarify? If you're starting from nothing and your goal is strength I'm not sure what could possibly be more efficient than SS.

True, but I would say - if you're serious about it - once you've graduated from Starting Strength programming you are already very strong, which is the goal.

Switzerland had a very active and well trained military during both World Wars. In fact Swiss neutrality is at least partly rooted in the historical role of Swiss mercenaries -- it was a lot easier to sell your mercenaries if you weren&#x27

I've heard a lot about Bridgewater and frankly don't understand how they hire anyone. If you're smart enough to get offers at top-tier funds surely you'd rank BW last because of this (very public) insanity. Have they jus

Personally I try to find work where: 1. I'm the only FE dev, with a strict separation between BE and FE work (and a BE team that's happy with this arrangement). 2. I'm given the keys to the castles in terms of technology and

Why do people keep hiring front-end specialists, in that case?

Anecdotally the majority of tourists I've seen just drive to viewpoints and stand around. The Grand Canyon is my favorite example. The rim by the visitor center can be packed but once you're a half mile down one of the trails you

This has been an issue on Hawaii's Big Island for some time, to the point where they warn tourists not to prepare any local vegetation themselves.

My experiences with jQuery are literally the exact reason why I like React. I strongly suspect most HNers who are overly critical of React (and/or general web framework complexity) have never had to write and then maintain a large web

As someone who used to use React and now has to grapple with an in-house web framework: hooks are right on the money and offer tools backing some of the best devex in web right now.

There are externalities with this approach. A big issue with clothing donations, for example, is they put local textile manufacturers out of business. Why buy locally made whatever when you can get second-hand name-brand clothing for cheap?

Web components are a decade old, what do you think has changed or will change to make them more popular than frameworks? I think unless there are massive improvements to the developer experience the best hope for web components is as an imp

SEC regulations generally apply equally to family members you make financial decisions for. You can still probably get away with it but the SEC has ammo if you get brazen.
