I lived in NYC for five years, and got to know the city quite well by bike. Things I noticed: - Brooklyn has undergone an incredible amount of change - 14th & 6th midtown area maintains a lot of its image - The amount of change on the w

I just came here to say this is great work, and congrats to the Yarn team for continually making package management more sane.

In general, I would agree. I'm sure there are cases where Promises are still superior, but I think our brains work easier in the x = y sort of notation.

I would argue that reasoning about promise chains are difficult enough to where an abstraction is desirable. If you asked me to identify the most maintainable and easy to read of these two pieces of code, I would say the answer is easy. Pro

I would say that the number of permutations (while many) in chess and go are finite, while this has to adapt to anything "at hand." addendum: there are most definitely a greater number of environmental factors (x, y, z axes) invol

I never owned a model, but I think it was one of those pieces of tech where the UX and timing were poorly executed. I have a Google Home, and there's some inherent privacy / trust issues in having a "gadget" that's

Piggybacking off of top comment to send some UX feedback. The content blocks that scroll left to right lack signifiers and weren't intuitive for me to scroll them left to right. I would say having some low opacity arrows (or something

There's a lot of good advice in this thread. I'd +1: - Seeing a mental health professional. This has a stigma, but don't let it be that. It's just a safe space for you to air thoughts and process them. It's been inv

I was at RubyKaigi. This presentation was one of the best delivered, so kudos to the Stripe team for all the work put into it. A question I didn't get to ask while there is -- will there be some sort of type sharing system introduced?

I too felt this pain. UI feels "heavy" in comparison to Github. There are obvious, simple updates that could be made to the UI to fix significant pain points. This one [1] brought me much pain every time I installed a new package

Last time I checked the yarnpkg registry is still a proxy to npm, unless they've started hosting. I haven't checked in some time.

Here's to hoping that all my yarn caches will continue to carry me through this. Seriously, though. I'd love to get a look at their SLA and how they define "uptime" for their "org" and "enterprise" us

Since the thread is more akin to a trash fire than something of substance, perhaps, I can offer some insight into my comment. My comment is merely a nod to the notion that I believe we're missing out on brilliant minds that could shape

I just moved to Japan, and it's fascinating that connotations (including my previous) with Japan are "High tech, futuristic, efficient" when in reality it is, "slow moving, traditional, and (frequently) inefficient.&quot

I think the way developers tend to think about front-end is misguided. Front-end development can be just as complex as backend, and IMO is analogous to iOS / Android, but interacting with a different environment. Having started in ASP.
