> In contrast, the IRS Free File products were free for 70 percent of taxpayers. I wonder why the IRS "Free" version isn't actually free!

It was called css-layout but got renamed to Yoga because it implemented the “flexbox” layout and not all of CSS. Flex -> Yoga was indeed the joke/reference.

Great feedback! This is a big oversight.

In practice the ESM support in Jest is blocked by a v8 dependency and not jest itself at this point. If you are able to nudge this issue that would be fantastic! https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/37648

You are right, I should be more precise. If you earn more than $523,600 and are single, then your tax rate is not 50% but 37%, which is still meaningful amount that is often not considered when looking at those big numbers. https:/&#x

Child care in the bay area is $2-3k / month per child. Plus you need a bigger home with one more bedroom so an additional $1-2k/month. Then a bigger car. This is without all the expenses related to having a child such as healthcar

Tech stock is taxed at around 50% when you get it and then 20% of the upswing. So $475k total comp is more like $250k in your bank account in practice.

Back in 2012 I made a series of blog posts about all the unique image algorithms I could find: - Facebook (that I designed): https://blog.vjeux.com/2012/image/image-layout-algorithm-fac... - Google Plus: https:&#

I was hoping to make an excalidraw exporter to TinyVG but unfortunately it doesn't support text. It makes sense given that rendering text is horrible but doesn't work with this use case.

I’m personally working from the US but a sizable part of my org (Client performance and reliability) and my previous org (React Native / React) are in Europe. As a French person, the European side of fb is dear to my heart!

It seems like a senior (E7+) position at Facebook fits what you are looking for. Let me know if you want to chat about it. vjeux@fb.com

Another reason to use prettier, this will be formated in a confusing way and has a higher chance of being spotted by a human!

In all the years since it was rolled out, I’ve seen hundreds of security warnings but absolutely none was remotely close to a real security issue.

Yeah, we’ve been trying to keep it without calling to any external service. Both of them are optional, excalidraw will work offline and/or with an adblocker that blocks those domains. That said, those two have been really important for

If you select an element (or groups of elements) there is a little circle that appears at the top of the selection rectangle, you can drag it around to make it rotate.

Fwiw, Ken Wheeler suggested the name excalibur but when looking for the domain it was already taken but excalibur.draw was suggested. I ended up bringing the two together leading to excalidraw, which was available everywhere.

Agreed. It was originally developed for desktop use cases and we did a straight port to mobile which surprisingly worked way better than I anticipated. But we need to do another pass at it, the lack of move tool is really annoying indeed. I

The plus plan has been very successful from my point of view, we’ve been able to bootstrap the business and make our first hire. The key realization is that while the unauthenticated open source model works really well for individuals, it’s

Yeah, this is one of the top things we want to address. Right now text and shapes are not linked with each other which makes it super annoying to use. We just shipped image support which has been widely requested, this is next in our list.

We’ve open sourced the font and made a lot of small but important changes to it over the past 6 months. If you are willing to help, it would be great if you could open an issue with specific words that are difficult to read with your dyslex

I technically didn’t create prettier, James Long did. But I brought it from a 3-weeks prototype over the winter break to a production ready tool used for all Facebook codebase and nowadays to most of the world.

Yeah sorry about the initial version of handwriting, we thought we could do a quick hack and use the multi point line rendering for it but it didn’t work well in practice. We switched to the awesome “perfect” library from Steve Ruiz instead

All of the language features in ES6 / Flow / JSX that Facebook has been pushing through as part of the React ecosystem have been pioneered by Hack/HHVM at Facebook and then ported very closely to the JavaScript ecosystem.

My theory is that breakpoints are not useful because they let you go forward. But if you have an issue somewhere where a variable is not in the right state, it's because somewhere in the past was the issue. But you can't go back w

The title should be changed from “from React.js” to “from create-react-app”. Next is still based on React.js.

I haven’t worked on React Native for many years now… looks like it has slowed down! It was monthly in the first few years.

For React Native we do ~monthly releases and just increase by 1 each time. It’s a train model this way people know when their changes will get released. I guess we should consider bumping to 1.x at some point and keep going :)

Very entertaining article. That said, as a human, I hard a really had time forecasting most of the time series shown in the article. The ones that had a semblance of regularity it felt like Prophet did a resonable job.

They unfortunately already do. The state of contentEditable on the web is such that you need to if you want to have a non standard experience like google docs.
