I know it’s because it’s HN, but SF is just not that big of a city to be included with the other two. Maybe include Houston, Philadelphia, or Phoenix. SF isn’t even in the top ten.

Reminds me of Dan Luu's take: > This book seemed convincing when I read it in college. It even had all sorts of studies backing up what they said. No deadlines is better than having deadlines. Offices are better than cubicles. Basic

Most people you know aren’t the average applicant who’ll put up with that and whiteboarding to get a job. My company also does 3-4 hour interviews and we’ve have no trouble getting experienced, talented people to do them.

A bit cynical, but my guess is the vast majority of people forcing themselves to consume productive media are not retaining anything and just don't want to feel like they're wasting time. And as the sibling comment said, nothing w

I've found that the proponents of speed reading mostly only read non fiction books that help them with their career (directly or indirectly), so I guess it makes sense to speed through them... but yeah, I can't even do that with t

Can't you skip the Node server and have him just use index.html and refresh? That way he won't rely on you to set it up. Alternatively, there are many services like Glitch that probably give you auto-reloading.

No. I play games during my commute all the time. I'm explaining why it is not more common in the US.

Yeah it's a little weird but I just don't feel good about taking it outside yet... maybe that will change. As for the second part of your comment, it's simple. Playing handheld video games in public is not typical or socially

Well, Nintendo is not an American tech company. Nintendo is a traditional Japanese company (with its own twists, obviously) and is run as such, which in some ways it's the opposite of our tech industry. Nintendo is fairly secretive abo

> from the age of 18 18 is too late. I doubt any one in any of the good national teams started playing seriously and tactically at age 18. This is in fact one of the problems with the US - our soccer players start too late.

Not popular. This means public parks and even schools are less likely to have soccer fields or soccer programs. Note how almost every single park has a basketball court. Although this is changing, soccer is associated with elementary school

Microsoft just announced they are betting big on React, and a quick search at JS/frontend job posts only show React and the odd Angular/Ember ones in my area. Stars might matter to some but it looks like React is here to stay and
