I had both speakers blown out, three keys with chipped paint, and a couple sticky keys, so I got it replaced and fixed with their latest keyboard replacement program. I was told that the way to go about getting a "loaner" machine

Except Google is an advertising company and Apple is a consumer electronics and software company. Their objectives are different, and historically, Apple has been one of the most privacy-focused tech companies. Not saying Apple can't u

Svelte exposes a [preprocess function]( https://svelte.dev/docs#svelte_preprocess ) that (in theory?) you could use to preprocess markup JSX-style.

autstincheney, it sounds like you should quit your enterprise (big tech co?) job and work for an early-stage startup.

That makes a lot of sense, and if that's the case, I'd chalk it up to advertising for convincing people they _need_ all of this type of infrastructure.

I'm not sure when exactly this shift happened, but people (myself included) fetishize high availability so much nowadays. What would really happen if your startup-of-the-year with less than 1k active users was down for five minutes? Or

The magic link / Notion example is completely lost on me. "The pattern is incredibly tedious" That's the point. You log in to your email to log in to your Notion. It's not 2FA, but maybe there should be some other t

You right. Let's say a 7% annual compound interest over 10 years (which I think, is debatable). That puts you at $5,800/mo. I think my argument still stands?

I think the vast majority of people would find it incredibly difficult to save ~7.5k per month for 10 years (assuming an annually compound savings interest of 2.2%), to hit 1M. That type of savings goes beyond "no Ferraris/Great-G

Is that really your problem? Even if coffee doesn't cost $5, and it costs $2.50, that's 4 coffees. Or even $1 coffee, that's 10 coffees. Unlimited music streaming for a month is absolutely worth 10 coffees. The coffee example

This article makes the assumption that every decision you make as a web developer is unaffected by co-workers. I'm all for progressive enhancement. However, if the expectation is a web _application_ that has a certain level of interact

I've noticed that developers more accustomed to backend work, or projects that already have a heavy backend, prefer Vue. It's easier to grok because they're used to handlebar template syntax and directives. I've also not

I also expect to make half my income in most cities in the US.

Like I said in my comment ("[...] that satisfy at least half of your list of requirements[...]"), I have everything in that list apart from the spare bedroom. I rent a 2BR/2BA and my share of rent is $1750. My roommate pays $

Disagree about your $2k take on a Sunset Park or Jackson Heights apartment. I've lived in the latter, and that's not the case. Your "daily grind" doesn't have to happen at the same time as everyone else's. If t

Definitely. As with anything else, there are compromises to be made, and NYC has a unique set of them. If you really think this way, go ahead and live in a densely populated neighborhood with the compromises that come along with it. For wha

Out of curiosity, where do you think young well-paid techies live in the city? Because I'm a young well-paid techie, and I live off of the G line in Brooklyn, which this move would definitely affect.

I too look forward to when ZEIT revolutionize datastores. Immutable datastores with the ZEIT UX (DX?) would be incredible.

To answer my own question, the Vim plugin is a fork of YouCompleteMe, so you can configure it as per YouCompleteMe's docs.

First impression is that this is insanely fast and is actually giving recommendations based on context, without setting up additional files. So, it's doing exactly as advertised. I'm using this in Vim and would like to know if the

I upgraded from the iPhone 6 Plus to the iPhone XS Max, on a complete whim. The biggest difference is of course, snappiness of applications. The OS, not so much, because I think Apple does a good job at maintaining iOS. But Spotify used to

Okay, so. Have we reached diminishing returns with smartphones? Because it really feels that way. I'm sure this new Pixel is better than the previous one, but we're starting to have conversations around _not_ buying the $1k phone

If you're bulking up your iPhone with a case, the camera bump is a non-issue. I agree that we've reached diminishing returns as far as overall thickness is concerned, though. Would love to know the split between cased and case-les

Same thoughts as you, and it looks like we both went through the benefits line-by-line with a comment in this thread! It sounds like the author wants Functional CSS to be the Ultimate CSS Solution™, when in most cases, you can write better
