The reader view (from any of the browsers really) has become my base performance review tool. If a webpage is meant for presenting textual content and is actually _improved_ by a reader view, that means the design has failed. There actually

Lets look at a recent real world scenario. The eastern block countries, experienced the fall of the USSR as an event that forced all of them to attempt to change their culture. Some tried “the prudent” approach - change as little as possibl

As far as I know in the country where I live non violent criminals are treated much more leniently. They have “vacations” where they can go back to their families for holidays like Christmas and special events. If they do run away they’ll g

To be honest 40C is quite doable, as long as you have shade (trees) water features (lakes/rivers) and a distance of a couple of km - I’ve cycled like that for fun, not just to get to a destination. Now I would never do that on such an

You are correct. I also do like to write, though I don’t think I’ve reduced my reading by any means. Writing itself is an art form. Its important to have tldr; sections, to consider your audience and not to just braindump and call it a day.

So sorry to hear what you were going through. My partner had something similar due to the stress from the pandemic. What helped her the most was actually a regular psychiatrist appointment. Did you do something specific when you took your t

Thank you for the response, so many interesting points. I’ll try to address most of those from my viewpoint, and why I think the current solutions US are attempting are not effective, but comments like this help me understand other peoples’

Huh only in America it might be considered OK to execute a person for a theft of an automative part. Its like - there is someone committing a nonviolent felony of stealing a minor part from your car, and now you are deputized to be judge ju

Interesting that you mention it. I'm much more versed in TS than in go or java for sure, but after some knowledge sharing sessions with devs in those languages, as well as Scala devs, I can say they all _can_ learn a thing or two about

I think I also agree that TS has made js programs harder, but not in a bad way. You see there was a quote back in the day about a discussion between a senior clojure developer and a java one, and it went something like this. Java dev - “Ho

That’s the whole deal with yarn 2 isn’t it? With their plug’n’play it becomes feasible to actually vendor your npm deps, since instead of thousands upon thousands (upon thousands) of files you only check in a hundred or so zip files, which

There’s a certain churn to it sure, but I wouldn’t call all the development “sidesteps” I think it’s just the scope of changes that’s staggering. You knew jquery, gulp and express and you were fine, but thats such a low low bar if you take

While we now know a lot about teaching, a lot of misconceptions have been found recently regarding “truths” about teaching, its a fascinating subject really, and the main problem seems to be lack of rigorous repeatable double blind testing

Well Jules Verne’s “The Mysterious Island” awakened all sorts of engineering thinking in me when I was very little. My parents were believers in not reading children’s books but actual novels to me, at ages 4+ and they went through most of

I also noticed the same in many people, as well as myself. And I do not think the other commenters are correct in their explanations. At least in myself, I can clearly see that in my 20s I had a much more sedentary lifestyle, sitting in fro

Not op, but I remember what got me into sciences was the “kids soviet encyclopedia”. Specifically the physics section. We had “big soviet encyclopedia” and “kid” one on our bookshelf (A point of pride for my grandparents). Nobody told me th

Don’t know about Albania, but in Bulgaria the teachers had very low pay, (so were / are nurses btw). I think the difference was that they were very respected. When I managed to attend teacher parent meetings I could see the deference

I think its not that it has to, its just more challenging and rewarding. I’ve read a lot about bulling and social problems in USA schools, but so almost none of that myself i Eastern Europe. I think the subjects where so hard that it forced

I have a feeling it was more about the quality of the teachers than anything else. I moved from “Deep” Russia itself to the periphery of the USSR (Bulgaria) when I was in first grade, and my parents had the foresight to make me repeat that

Remembrance of Earth’s past had some of the weakest protagonists in a book I’ve read. It also has this weird thing where characters plan for things and that just … happens. It was strange seeing book arching plans go without a hitch. But I

To be honest I think I really like “long jumps in time”. It’s like the author builds up a world that you understand and care about, and then it becomes a backdrop of this new world, which adds another layer of complexity. There are parallel

Apart from the great suggestions (Vernor Vinge fan for sure) I think one would I would recommend would be the "Remembrance of Earth's Past" (a.k.a three body problem). It presented plausible hard sci-fi bits, while the human

What you say is very valid - You get stuff you own and under warranty repaired for cheaper. But if that all is true, wouldn’t it be better if that list of problems/solutions were forced to be public? And people would be left to try, if
