First off, thanks for chiming in with that detailed explanation. It's always a learning curve when you dive into the technical side of things, and I genuinely appreciate it. Given the constraints with TypeScript not being further compi

I was really hyped up by the beginning of the article, but it seems really miss the points with the conclusion. I don't think it is easier to manipulate with the last two examples, and I am guessing no actual graphic artist has read th

Yes, there is some over-hypeness, and it is winding down. But winding down graph doesn't equate to demand shrinking. It could also be a self-correction temporarily and go back to its true demand and resume climbing. For a product like

Adobe Document Cloud has some nice features that are unique in the market, and are worthy being paid features. But sadly they are hidden under a sea of very basic feature like this one, totally unworthy of a paid feature — this make the goo

I like what the other has said in under another comment — selling software to software engineers is like selling magic to magician. You are a magician, a very unfriendly use case to prioritize. It is reasonable for you to want what you want

a bit unrelated but I am confused why library's ebook has a waiting period? I am guessing it is a licensing issue, like how many copies the library bought and are allowed to lend out? I hoped all libraries' ebook are unlimited. Is

The closest I ever got with vim is with this game: https://vim-adventures.com/ How different is Vim and Emacs' user experience? Would the vim-adventures also apply to emacs?

I don't like it personally. I feel it is exaggerated, especially the part "I don't have the right words" I would feel awkward if I were on the receiving end — I lost my job, not someone died. Maybe it is just me, I get a

It depends on what your relationship with them, and their position in job hunting. If it is your co-worker, they got laid off and you didn't. It is awkward. I would just say the normal thing that you would say to people who left their

I would suggest you take it. Reasons: - if you don't take this, and you don't get in YC, then you don't have any investment. - if you take this, then you get into YC, you can still turn down YC, to avoid the MFN locked into

Good question! I am using paper.js for svg path manipulation. My guiding principle of finding the balance is that if something I can teach within simple instructions, in a reasonable length to be consumed in an app, I don’t mind adding it i

I know the feeling. I dropped React because of the learning curve is too steep for me, eventually adopted vue.js because it is friendlier (from my perspective and learning path, I am stronger in HTML/CSS coming from my design backgroun
