Frankly a good number of those same people have ideological compasses that spin at a high rate of speed. People think they're punching up so mocking a gay man who just got outted for retribution as a CHS informant on global news doesn&

Disclosure that I'm closer to full stack/generalist than frontend engineer. Have you tried not going to conferences? I'm saying that with a good bit of sarcasm, but frankly look at where a lot of these things occur and who sp

When I was younger and much more into PHP as a language WordPress was a great fit for me. WordPress templating was rather obtuse for what's supposed to be a view layer and plugins made use of some pretty exotic APIs that I found hard t

> Instead of chopping down trees to build a bike lane, they should simply take lanes away from the road and make those into protected bike lanes. Most of the roads this happened on are 2 lane roads in Eastside Portland. They're expa

You would need to select a font that supports FreeType instead of ClearType. Here's a good thread on it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31528605 Anecdotally, I use PopOS as my daily driver and the fonts and DE ar

I've learned two things today. First is the seedlings note above, second is this. I'm still learning a lot about these trees. There's many of them at a park by my house and I have four in my yard, but they're probably 40

> If the bike lane causes one person to give up their car and commute by bike, that's worth hundreds of trees per year. Where they did this is by my house, so I think I can speak to this a bit. It was not good planning, not that you

I was curious because my gut says ideology about the vastness of systemd. Turns out, there's still a number of systems that don't make use of systemd: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Linux_distributio

This has probably hit the enterprise software world as well, at least from what I can tell. A lot of people are solidly in frontend or backend; backend tends to be even narrowed into asynchronous systems, identity, etc. Finding people who h

In Portland they recently started cutting trees down to widen the road for extended bus and bike lanes. That spawned a conversation that we've lost a third of our tree cover due to various things and the city hasn't kept up. That

I don't think these things are exclusive to each other. Someone who is struggling mentally can be very successful in their career and can have a sea of people ready to reap the rewards of their success. That kind of behavior can absolu

A personal right to privacy and limitations on government actions/inquisitions are different. For instance, if someone wants to start filming me and following me in public then there's nothing I can do unless they city or state ma

This is really cool from a documentation standpoint and I love that there's an open source project encroaching in this space. That said, I don't just use Open API for documentation. I use it to generate clients and servers so that

Disclaimer that I work at Slack. The search you experience runs against permissions so something like that doesn't happen.

No, but you get used to it. If it's really quiet and I focus on it I can hear the 1KHz tone in my right ear. The last checkup I had indicated I didn't have hearing loss, but frankly I struggle in some of those tests. Sometimes I f

Good question. During that time we didn't know exactly what was wrong. I brought her in for the boil, we ran lots of tests, and the only thing we could determine was that she was anemic. If she ate more she was anemic less as long

I was lucky enough to own a house next to the vet clinic that ended up being my first dogs final veterinarian. Her sickness was very gradual; a boil grew on her neck and started aspirating blood, she became anemic, and somewhat lethargic. I

That's fair; I just don't know that security will ever get to a point that's both easy for everyone and secure, but maybe I'm being a pessimist.

Disagree. Accessing my phone will only get you so far. If you manage to crack my password manager then you'll have many, but not all the keys to my kingdom. For instance, there's a lot of randomly generated passwords in there, but

I didn't see this mentioned but I think it's worth pointing out some plants are just rare to a region, rather than being rare globally. They're hard to get a hold of in stores or nurseries so people rely on private or online

I disagree. Californians have enjoyed a lot of supremacy at the national level. Nancy Pelosi was the House speaker for quite some time, Kevin McCarthy was elected House speaker. State representatives are pretty immune to this kind of critic

It took me about five years to save my down payment. I lived very frugally, don't have a wife, don't have a kid, I paid less than $20k on note for each of my cars, and do not have college debt. I'd say it's fairly diffic

I get a lot of birds in my yard and decorated the windows with translucent UV stickers. Now every sunset I get to see a stained glass dragon on my wood floors. Highly recommend.
