This is by far the most important aspect to me with getting a message. I've only been sent around 2-4 messages with this much detail. These are the ones I actually reply to, even if I'm not interested at the moment. It's usua

This is an interesting point-of-view to me because I've lived on the east coast of the USA my entire life, roughly split between two places. Between that and the changes that come with aging, I have mixed feelings about this point that

That makes sense a lot of sense and I agree. I don't specifically have any reason to try and defend the point of the article, but it sounds kind of fun anyway. Really I think the article is taking aim at the notion that buying a home a

True. When this topic comes up in /r/personalfinance or /r/financialindependence it's usually from the point of view that an investment is purely a means to make money given some up-front. It specifically excludes t

I agree with you. I also feel the same way about people studying a "worthless" degree at a university. I think it should be much more heavily encouraged to let us develop deeper thinkers, artists, and others. We should learn to ce

Good point! I hadn't thought of it this way since it often doesn't come up as often in my experiences with front end stuff. To lay out one example as clearly as I can: suppose you had two calls to transfer with the same args. * Th

> It doesn't matter that it's all single threaded if all your function calls may or may not block and run a bunch of other code in the meantime, mutating all kinds of state. Can you elaborate a bit more on this? I'm unsure

My current job also offers unlimited time off, and this is a similar approach that I took when evaluating. I basically wrote it off as break-even with my last job's time offering, as it seemed reasonable to assume I shouldn't get

I had the same thought while reading through this site! I've started working through Crafting Interpreters a few weeks ago. I have been loving it. I'll generally read a chapter one evening, and then write the code from it the nex

In my experience, I've been using it for a few years now and I've maybe used !g 4 or 5 times total in the past couple of years. I find the performance of image searches just fine myself. So it's always fascinating to see that

> It takes some practice, but once you get it your code grows so much better. It's true. I had a bit of a roundabout journey to getting this idea. Studying CS, I learned a ton about implementation inheritance, and only a bit about c

Another reason is it can help make testing more simplified. Instead of having to use a library to perform mocking or stubbing of specific functions within the objects, you can pass in fake instances of objects that help exercise the test pr

I agree. There are also options to make some of the things from the article relatively easy. Off the top of my head, a CI/CD pipeline can be set up using Gitlab , Azure DevOps, Bitbucket Pipelines, and I'm sure tons of others. The

One question I have is with the "One Graph" idea. I get the principle, and it does seem like it would be nice. However, it's hard for me to imagine what this looks like in practice. I haven't done anything with GraphQL i

Thanks - This is exactly what I was doing thinking back on it! I found it surprising because I landed on the same answer they did even with my misunderstanding of the statement. Ultimately I ended up figuring out this sequence: > 1 + 1&#

I had a hard time understanding part of the explanation to Problem 6 [1]. The statement: > Consider the following game. You flip a coin until you get a tails. The number of dollars you win equals the number of coins you end up flipping.

Agreed. Though re-reading it, I think the point may have been more about quitting after 3 months and not so much that you don't gain anything the first 3 months. > 5/ if I had only worked on a startup for a year, I would'v

There is an episode of Hidden Brain which touches on this subject, though I don't remember if it mentions any sort of measured differences between men and women. Either way, it is a neat discussion on the topic. https://www.

I had never heard the phrases "one-way door" and "two-way door" in decision making until yesterday, and now this is the 2nd time I've seen it. The person who mentioned it to me yesterday works at Amazon. Funny coinc

Hah! That's amusing. It took me a moment to realize what might be happening, and then another moment to confirm it. Another funny example is: ['1', '2', '3'].map(parseInt) This would be a bummer to

Speaking of which, while I can see the usefulness of SharedArrayBuffer and Atomics for certain libraries and creating certain functionality, I have had some concerns about these new modules. Specifically, I think it complicates the simple m

This was neat. It also seems like a good way to show how you might discuss your work and others work, as well as your sense of humor. It almost felt like reading one of those "the annotated source code of X" sites. How many of the

Thanks for the examples. Seems clear that I don't fully understand it then, but it's good to know that it's common so I can look around some more.

This was handy to glance through. Thanks! I did notice one point that struck me as odd (under "Details, details"): > Can a value class implement interfaces? Yes. Boxing may occur when we treat a value as an interface instance.

A similar thought crossed my mind too. I've never used JSON-LD. I'm not quite sure where I would use it. One of the ideas was what you said. The other idea I had is that it may help with transforming payloads from their serialized

Where I work we use Bitbucket for code reviews. Their code review setup works well for us. We especially enjoy the "like" button that Codebrag also seems to have. It doesn't seem like Codebrag is very much different from this
