Yes, good point. The approach I'm trying is to find a narrative that's interesting to me, but includes a bunch of the obvious stuff along the way.

Basically this. It's mind boggling to think a designer could ever excel without knowing how to work with the medium they're designing for. One of the fundamentals of art school is learning how to work with the characteristics of y

Yes, I found it much faster to do everything in memory, minimizing the number of reads/writes. And it was a bit of shocker writing es5 js again.

Because panic is an appropriate response... never? What a terrible framing. Participating in mob tactics, especially for an issue you care deeply about, is worse than doing nothing at all.

Are north and south in astronomy defined relative to Earth’s poles? What about “lateral” directions, since east and west are relative (no poles, ie. no east of earth)?

You missed the point that there is no global optimum. The GP’s novelty function is optimized for novelty, that’s all.

I love Ulysses. It's replaced Evernote for all my note taking. I can point it at my .md folders for local storage. It has typewriter mode, tabs, and is entirely theme-able. I don't mind paying the subscription since I wasn't

I had that exact experience with Next. Ended up hating it for a variety of reasons (routing, file structure, build) and fortunately no longer have to support that project. Now I roll my own. I pre-render with react-snap, use react-imported-

I pre-render my pages with puppeteer on build, and then hydrate with the js bundles. Everyone gets the faster experience of an HTML page (not just crawlers), while the full js loads async. Example in my profile.

For sure, I'm not saying it's a universally valuable signal, just the most valuable one relative to other signals on a github profile.

Lots of ways to skin this cat ;). Figuring out the best way that works for your setup is half the fun. Thanks and good luck!

Thanks! Not a data engineer, but I used to work at a data engineering company, and can attest to the complexity and rawness of the industry. Your setup looks solid! As a frontend engineer having seen under the hood of data pipelines at scal

This is an important sentiment that I want to respond to. Because on one level, I absolutely agree. But the nature of the web is different. HTTP is not software that you "buy and run". It's a back and forth communication, req

For sure, there are a bunch of reasons not to use Google Sheets. For this, it's just an easy, free, and temp way to get a new site up without needing to setup a backend. It's not really a hard requirement for me to get off Google

I can't POST with a pixel though, and I care about event logging. For sure, Google Sheets is just a free, easy and temp stand-in for a real data store.
