Cool landing page. I first thought the tilted elements would be a bit jarring, but then I kinda started to like them. Stimulates your brain a little bit more. Nice trick. Can't really comment on the app itself as I don't have an i

At least I remember them buying and quickly selling SuperCell off for a hefty profit. But that could be partly just luck. I feel they have had sound investment plans but they've also become victims of their own hype. Hype without reali

I myself enjoy eating meat and while I need the protein, I've also understood that the taste, is it the umami combined with protein and fat, is what makes meat so delicious. So while I have experimented with some veggie food, mostly ju

Well I just noted your reply, 2 days later, but I'll still reply just because I feel annoyed. Oh please, you are fighting windmills here. How I was phrasing myself in my opinion was vague enough to let the reader know, that I was not r

I see. It feels quite funny though to be so specific about the ramblings of a man, who clearly says whatever comes to his mind without further thought. He might as well have said it and nothing would change. Definitely though there is a dif

That's insane. Shouldn't it be the opposite as he famously called it a hoax and so on? Disregarding whatever nonsense he has said on many past occasions. Oh well. In this case I'd only quote George Carlin here: "The publ

Ahh, yes I was a bit confused on the terminology. So surgical masks are just masks with some filtering capability but without a respirator. And N95 is a respirator, which is different from mask as it protects the wearer better from airborne

You are confusing "masks" as "surgical masks" aka. N95. He is meaning just the regular masks with no filtering whatsoever, that are very easy to manufacture. Hell you can even make them yourself. The N95 however, are qui

Huh, well it figures that it isn't an easy problem to solve. EDIT: I was looking at the wrong. I see, it seems like a nifty way to combine styles. But hmm, I guess this one of those things that what works for you, is good enough. Someh

Somehow, I don't know why especially, I've come to enjoy JSX/TSX syntax with styled components. It just is simpler for my brains, I guess. To think of all just as custom components, with their logic included as a single compo

Well with retail you are kind of already in the business of buying and selling hardware, so to me it doesn't seem that big of a stretch. In both you are handling big volumes with very high emphasis on cost-margins. Search, yeah. Intrin

Without first-mover advantage, without the enterprise sales network it would be just foolish for FB to waste their time and energy on such highly competitive field without much of natural advantages. You don't really synergize social m

I today saw the number of infected for US jump 8k (it seemed to have been reduced from 14k, which was really alarming). https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ A quite worrying turn that rate of cases is ramping up

It's not just you. At times it feels people downvote out of spite, to reciprocate how they feel they've been treated. It's annoying since instead of having a discussion or even replies that would make you see "aha, I mig

I agree. It's not that people wouldn't purchase stuff or go abroad, it's just they can't or won't. But as I yesterday understood, the lower interest rate should weaken the deflationary effect and make money less d

I don't really understand the economics of it all, but feels bit like throwing gas the flames. The downturn is inevitable. Does this soften it a little bit, I do not know. If people just stop traveling and spending money like normally,

Well if it's any help, here's my two cents: to rewire your gratification circuits you need a lot of time and effort to alter your brains to accept some new ideas or behaviors. Took me a long time to get used to going to gym. Now i

True Venus' atmosphere is quite hostile, but from what I briefly read Venus quite probably have had a similar atmosphere with Earth (along with Mars) in the early days, before the runaway green-house effect got the best of it, so at le

Hmm. I have always considered low-gravity to be quite a big issue for any planetary colonization. Unless some cure is invented like a genetic mutation, it would seem that there is no way of coming back to Earth after spending a lifetime in

Hah not a crash? Well it kinda is, and if it keeps going further down it will definitely cause a recession. The oil price drop was a huge punch in the gut, and I wonder what happens to US oil production if it stays this low for longer. Or w

So you want to write spagetti in another language because webdev is getting too difficult? In my opinion one should strive to learn their craft well, and if you havent by now, you should very quickly educate yourself out of writing bad code

I think you are over-thinking it. A single part-time employee won't fail your start-up, a lot of other things will like not being able to deliver before your runway runs out. For great employees, it's a negligible loss if they wan

Superb work. You built a better code search than Github (well with some of its features missing sure) with a lot less resources. Shows how stagnated the progress in big companies is after a service is deemed "good enough". Good fo

I myself have noticed that some people just have natural cognitive abilities that far surpass any regular person's abilities, and I guess that's generally a prerequisite for making any new ground-breaking discoveries or libraries.

If you mean theming components, then yes. Skinnable components is not a term I've encountered before but theming is something SC enables and is part of its core functionality. You can either use something like a global theme variable t

That's nice. I myself did try out one too, as a hobby project to serve as an alternative frontend for a local gym https://varjosport.net/ There's a small flicker as the app generates the HTML which still annoys me
