His point is that a Watt is a unit of power being equal to 1 joule per second. As an aside, this corresponds to an electric circuit with a potential difference of 1 volt and a current of 1 Ampere. Saying a human produces 100W/hr is wro

As I often see here, you're missing the spirit of the post. (S)He's not saying that having less or being poor is intrinsically a happier existence. They are referring to a freedom from consumerism and the "need" to have

While I agree that SO can be hostile, I hardly think it's fair to assign the blame to SO for the insecurities of some users. If the answer is given without regard to race, religion, creed, sexual orientation, etc., then misconstruing i

I know that they require 1" (or 2.54cm) of space between hood and engine, to create a little crush zone before people hit parts that won't deform. That's the only thing I know about it, and my source is a review of a C7 Corve

I don't think you're discussing the same threat model as the author. You're talking about fighting an army. He's talking about other dangerous, non-military people (e.g. Another gang of survivors, who happen to have guns

Potentially, high class events (e.g. the Academy Awards). I can certainly see the massive value of having a luxury self-driving car shuttle celebrities to an event millions of Americans watch every year. It's marketing for Jaguar and W

Woah woah woah. Hold on. I'm most certainly not saying that being well-to-do somehow makes me (or workers) better. I'm simply saying that __in the environments I worked in__ (responding to the post), certain drugs were definitel

Well, there are recreational and performance-enhancing drugs. The attitudes about the two types are different. Coffee, alcohol, nicotine, and pot are all just normalized. Nobody cares. We chat about it in passing (e.g "so Friday I was

Except for the fact that facebook tracks you even if you do not nor have ever created an account. We can survive without facebook, but it is a leech that cannot survive without our data.

Indeed. I played rugby and found that players are much more concerned with not injuring themselves. There were not any spear-tackles or leading with the head. Mostly cause you'll literally get knocked unconscious (or break your neck) i

Not saying you're wrong, but could you provide an example?

I think he kind of fell off-topic there, too. I interpreted it as a very non-sequitur dig at Steve Jobs. Either way, not relevant to the conversation.

I understand that but find it a bit facetious, is all. I would've appreciated a strikethrough on the "tech" in those sentences. Am I asking too much? Perhaps. All in all I found it a good read.

I think this was well written. There were a few instances where, upon first reading it, I objected. But rereading it, I thought the language used was chosen well. I have one main gripe, though: The scope limitation to tech. > "Toxic

Do you have any other frameworks in mind? Ones that easily and concisely hook into the DOM APIs provided by browsers? One that hot reloads in dev? Or maybe just accomplishes even a handful of the 11 targets listed at the beginning of the ar

Yeah I noticed that it's fairly similar. We don't have release branches, and our merging is less complicated for that. Also, even hot fixes are done on a feature branch, pushed to main, then finally to master. Maybe that means the

I've not used Git Flow, but at my current workplace, we use the following workflow: - Master, main, and feature branches. - Main is the trunk - Work is done on feature branches that correspond to an issue - Work is merged, once complet

Sorry that befell you. Hope it hasn't unduly impacted your life. Indeed the possibility doesn't even occur to most people. It's gotten so bad that I will literally get out of a car if the driver picks up his or her phone.

Glad to hear you've recovered and you're still riding. I agree. Every time I get on the bike I think to myself "someone could kill me this time". It definitely makes me more appreciative of my life and also more cognizan

Eh, I'm sure they'll get over it. I mean, consider how often you hear people say they encountered an "asshole driver". The amount of "asshole drivers" I've encountered is well into the hundreds, but I forg

Yeah, that was my own personal opinion prefacing the facts. Vue supports both, but the template system is generally used more in the Vue ecosystem than JSX is. Vue neatly fits between JSX and angular.js' clunky template language. Since
