That's also how I remember it. It changed when Facebook became popular around me. Myspace, Tumblr, Twitter (my group of friends had it way before Facebook) were all about "nicknames" and random pics as avatars. But a strange

This whole article is about an edge case where components have an internal "draft" state and an external "final" state, where both represent the exact same thing , and you want internal state to change when props change

I would say that mediocrity is okay as long as you don't force others to follow it. Sometimes I feel as if there is some sort of "militant mediocrity" happening in some corners of our profession, where anyone even remotely in

90% is an exaggeration. Even someone doing CRUD has to be familiar not only with HTTP verbs, but also some headers, response codes, query strings, request bodies, understand how caching works, etc, at some point. The only way to avoid it is

That statement is beyond the absurd. The API of React is several orders of magnitude smaller than Spring and similar MVC frameworks with the same feature. There is even a React replacement with feature parity, Preact, that clocks around 3kb

A developer that isn't willing to learn new things won't be able to do CRUD for long. You can stick with the same technology and language, sure, but the frameworks and the language will evolve under you. Tools evolve (Git? Github?

I remember the same, I'm quite tall but I had a few short friends who were very popular. I have the impression that this is mostly a problem among younger people. The "only men over 6 inches" that people report seeing on Tind

I don't think there's a reason for you to feel dumb: there are a lot of candidates that are the opposite of the grandparent, and want to do "it" for the rest of their lives. However, a lot of times the "want to do i

I believe Finder is not technically necessary, as seen on Apple's installers and restore mode (which are a smaller version of macOS). You can kill it with Force Quit, for example. It is indeed also the provider of the Desktop, but ever

Depends on what you mean by "run a different program". You can't really replace WindowServer on macOS, as it is pretty much macOS itself. macOS is not really as modular as Linux or even Windows. There are things that hook int

No, it's not really a symptom of too much time, considering this is an activity done by 65% of americans. If anything, people could be using video games to replace more more time-consuming hobbies like spending the night at the bar or

I really don't see how being able to hear the difference between a bottom-shelf generic consumer system and something better (like GP said) would correlate with being interested in seeing someone playing violin in the subway. I'm

It will send one signal to the in-group and another to the out-group, however. Those people don't really care much about what the out-group thinks.

I don't really think this clip is a good counter example. I'm pretty sure 95% of the population would be able to guess correctly, in a blind test, who is Joshua Bell and who is me playing some stuff on the violin, and I'm act

I don't really agree. Those audiophile companies aren't exactly lying in their product specs. At least not this one. These people aren't claiming that their 20A cable supports 200A, for example. The claims are always subtle a

My guess is they just A/B test everything by default, even stuff that's court ordered.

Here's the thing about those hobbies... People start by spending, say, $500 total on some expensive hobby. But soon they increase their frequency on internet forums and see way more Youtube videos of comparisons, which lead them to buy

They are definitely already A/B testing this. I'm in Germany and sometimes I see the "Decline" button when opening Google in an incognito window.

Hm, wasn't that always acceptable and common? The only difference today is that there's a shorthand to mock those people.

According to statistics websites, around 65% of adults in the US play video games, and around the same percentage of residences own gaming devices. At this rate, playing video games could be a "symptom" for virtually anything imag

I bring my own soap for the shower, as the one provided by hotels often doesn't really clean well, neither smells really good. It does double-duty as soap for the hands, since it's higher quality than whatever most hotels have.

Obviously not the ones that are "finished products". Or are you claiming that only "games as a service" are good enough, and all "finished product" games should be removed?
