A very large chunk of homeless people are either: 1. Employed but unable to afford the COL of the area. 2. Too mentally unwell to hold down a job, possibly due to a history of hard drug addiction. I agree that some homeless people can be me

I think that's ok. Without the contributing users the lurkers have nothing to lurk.

I would then argue that there was (still is?) a massive marketing failure, probably because there was a greater focus on marketing to companies than users. My perspective is that I was pretty into VRChat at the time and found no compelling

Right, the investors are the problem. Reddit made a deal with the devil and now the community that made it bears the cost.

The more I think about this the funnier it is. A third party app built by two guys is so much better than the official Reddit app that people are willing to pay actual money for it... and his response is to throw shade at the developrs?

FWIW Foundry isn't that much different than their government products. It's just a platform for data management and analysis.

Immorality is a tricky subject but the original commenter was specifically talking about illegality. Whatever your feelings about Palantir's business (and the defense contracting business as a whole) I don't think there's any

So you're saying selling any sort of data analytics software to the government is a criminal act?

It's very intentional. Japan is largely homogenous and there's a lot of support for keeping it that way.

Depends on what media you're reading I suppose. Quite a lot of it paints SF is a city of haves and have-nots which fits nicely into the above poster's experience.

Sounds like throwing gasoline into the fire. Housing prices are high because of supply and demand... so CA wants to use taxpayer money to increase demand?

Love this story. This was how I remember him too; I didn't know he was our CTO until after a long conversation with him about some technical minutiae.

Yeah, I wish incompetent jerks were fired quickly. Working in finance has taught me they rarely are.

Meh. The most important thing about React is you have to think like React wants you to. It's a very pattern-oriented type of development I haven't seen much of elsewhere. Most of the footguns listed in this article are things you

I think the overt issue is that both state and fed gov completely bungled their response. Their absurd, stubborn silence, even after the issue has been lighting up social media for a week, gives the impression they know it's deadly but

How is that any different from the original CoD w.r.t. other FPS games? Warzone is certainly at least as differentiated from Fortnite and PUBG as CoD is from CounterStrike.

I cancelled my NYT sub over the pandemic. I felt dirty supporting them even for just the word games.

Yep, and my users do too. Most of these blog posts can be distilled down to "pick the right tools for the job".

At this point articles like this exhaust me beyond the point of caring. The popular tools are all reasonably good and in my experience the people complaining about the JavaScript ecosystem do so at the expense of getting stuff done.

Yes, I think this format is much better. Brevity, wit, etc. Too many of the originals just pack as much absurdity as they can into a run-on sentence.

What's wrong with Tailwind and Bootstrap? The reason the ecosystem is focusing on framework-specific component libraries is because people want out-of-the-box components that do things, not just ones that look nice. That's very di
