But that's just not true. The electron will only get excited if the incoming photon has a very specific wavelength, so most of the light that hit your house's walls, for example, is reflecting. The photoelectric effect is real, bu

It's not the UI framework that's adding the bloat, it's a bunch of tracking and fingerprinting scripts. They would still be there even if the UI was server-rendered HTML, because that's Medium's business model!

If you were making 60k+ through your college "internships," I would put them at the same level as full-time work. My first college internship was $9/hour with no benefits, and it lasted 6 weeks... Also, donations are discret

Do you browse the internet with the dev tools open to the network tab? Seems like a weird thing to obsess over, considering 99.9% of people won't even notice how many requests you have. Makes it a lot easier to build a UI from a RESTfu

This is a great example of casual misandry. You seem to think men have no issues, and only women have difficult lives. That simply isn't true. Men and women both face issues, and both have issues that are both significant and insignifi
