People have been using both for thousands of years. Feel free to be wary. Many of the rest of us will enjoy our lives otherwise without perpetuating unnecessary and by and large scientifically unfounded, culturally-based fears of reasonably

That’s an excellent line of research to dive down. You’re going to get some folks here sweating, though.

No reason to be wary of recreational use. No more so than you might of caffeine. Not everything is for everyone and that’s 100% ok.

Generally only reading your last few jobs and educational background. Side project is fine to see but it’s not going to be the differentiator. If you’re getting an interview you’re getting an interview. Side projects help junior candidates

I make brief mention of them. Like a couple sentence blurb about stuff I build when I choose to spend my free time that way. That said, I work a full week as it is so I don’t invest a ton in them. Just when an idea grabs me.

Yep. My takeaway is he is probably a bit of a narcissist / stuck in his own head. Unable to process the real lived perspectives of others.

Yep. Author is avoiding the hardest realizations and emotions here. I don’t necessarily blame them, but they’re gonna need to confront that to have a healthy relationship in the future.

You don’t need to sacrifice performance on mobile if you make a web app. People choose to sacrifice it because optimizing it well requires care.

They don’t have to be. It’s entirely a function of your discipline and care in maintaining and building out your web client. Have worked on several reasonably complex sites that maintained 60fps on mobile web.

Socioeconomic mobility is low in the US. This has been litigated and resolved in research ad nauseam. Survivorship bias, on the other hand…

When you’re in a room full of people in normal casual attire you’re going to stand out like a sore thumb in a suit.

Morons at Google do it, too. I knew a manager who wore a suit to every fucking meeting, and would make a point to bring up IC’s CL counts and lines of code changed during calibration / promo review. He still works there and likely has

Haha, alright bud. You enjoy your weekend.

Oof. Man. Your attitude is what makes software less diverse and hospitable. I know there are some folks who maybe come with sincere laziness, but the hard push with observable complicates an already complex thing. You don’t have to agree. K

Yep, this is 100% my read. It’s a damn shame too because d3 is fabulous and I thought he’d already encountered enough wealth through his work with NYT etc. Surely there’s a way to grow Observable without cannibalizing d3.

by slumpt_ 5y ago
Your post comes off really condescending and shitty. I don’t think it’s necessarily true, either. I think a lot of newbies might just find the Observable stuff a bit overwhelming. Maybe their background isn’t JavaScript. That does not mea

Oh don't worry, not complaining about downvotes. Just baffled that the community stands by that characterization of the issue at hand. Plays into crummy stereotypes about the tech community and their general naivety regarding social is

It's good it wasn't deleted, but disappointing that he winds up editorializing it with his quip. I've come to not expect much more from HackerNews. Sometimes http://n-gate.com/ is the best summary one can ask

Yeah, I understand you don't want to set it aside in general which is fine. I was only requesting you set it aside to entertain what I was saying in the above comment. And sure, happy to review the guidelines, all prior points aside.

We can set aside my history and focus on the simple point being made: labeling this issue as "petty drama" speaks volumes . It speaks volumes about you and the values you are espousing for this site and community, and reflects po

HN can be a bit of a hive for libertarian-minded engineers. Regulation = bad, to hell with the nuance, etc.

Individuals can absolutely be traumatized by footage.

Yep. Price is a function of rarity and desirability. SMB is a household name so the market of individuals who would assign value to it is broader than a game like Air Raid. Author is deliberately obtuse. Or just obtuse.

Not an insult, bud. Just encouraging a bit more groundedness. Good for everyone.

Yes, I’m sure I’ll be able to get anything I need with the bitcoins in my head whenever times aren’t good.

I’ve worked at several shops paying well above average with interview processes that hinged on more representative work. Not everyone is playing the absurdly doofy “game,” just most. Local maximum that laziness has us trapped in. Nothing to
