Eh, it's just people being people. It's similar to how when you're learning first aid, they always tell you to not say "Someone call 911!" but rather point at one specific person and say, "You, [distinguishi

Try being a product manager of a web service at a big corporation. I stopped and went back to programming because of how little there was to do. You said you don't want to manage people, but in my experience all I had to do was: - E-ma

Other standard DOM methods like what? getElementById and getElementsByClassName?

In my opinion, it's not about knowing all the core areas of CS — it's about being OK with the unfamiliar. It's about being confident that if someone hands you a problem outside your comfort zone, you'll be able to search

Not necessarily. My twin boys who just turned 3 are identical according to a genetic test, but were in different sacs with different placenta. This is uncommon, but not THAT uncommon. I think it's not unreasonable that they would have

Just want to chime in that I, too, am mystified by the Ikea hate. I've spent all of my 30+ years living with Ikea furniture. I'm writing this from an Ikea kitchen cart that has become my primary workspace. I remodeled my kitchen l

I lead-taught General Assembly's web development bootcamp for a year and a half. My students included a retired Air Force colonel, an orthodox Jewish grandma, and a guy who used to write FORTRAN in the 70s, in addition to lots of peopl

Or, perhaps, they just disagree with you? https://xkcd.com/1357/ There is a tremendous difference between silencing, disagreeing with someone, and only listening to one side of the story.

I don't think either side is being silenced. Both sides equally like to accuse the other of: - Ignoring "facts and logic" - Suppressing free speech - Being hateful - Blindly following mainstream media - Being agents of foreig

Hmm, do we really want to open this conversation to making broad generalizations about groups based on small groups of extremists within it? Neither side wins in a conversation like that.

I hate this stereotype. "Hurr durr, stupid Millenials don't even know what a book is, amirite?"

Your books were a huge part of my childhood. The Klutz book got me started in origami, which became my primary hobby. I learned so much from all the earth science books. Now my own toddlers are starting to explore those old copies. Thanks f

Personally, I don't ever really find myself needing to back up a tree, or find myself encountering something unexpected (outside of the code itself). In my experience Git is extremely reliable... but only if you enter its weird command

As another commenter said, Git is so pervasive that learning something else would put you at a big disadvantage. That doesn't excuse Git having an unintuitive UI that makes it very difficult to learn. It has that in common Vim, Emacs,

I have a Pixel 2 and really like it. I've hardly had any problems with the speed or performance of the device, and the camera is better than my DSLR.

Thank you! So each exchange has its own formula for determining the price that gets shown on the ticker? Let's say someone owns shares in a very low-volume stock — one that gets a couple trades a day, at most. Could they artificially i

If I buy a stock, does the price at which I agreed to buy it become the new share price on the stock exchange? Every article on "Where do stock prices come from?" seems to just talk at a high level about supply and demand. But whe

I don't think it's just GitHub. I noticed everything seemed slow but thought it was just my ISP. Turns out from looking at downdetector.com there seems to be a large spike in reported problems across many sites and providers, all

You would think that diffing is inefficient, but apparently modifying the DOM is significantly more inefficient. Mithril -- the framework that inspired this example -- has an interesting take: https://mithril.js.org/vnodes.h

Eh, I feel like that's any web framework in any language. Take Django for instance. If you're doing a very boilerplate project, then it's pretty slick. But as soon as you start trying to do any customization you go down a rab
