Good. Now all publicly funded universities should be free for the public.

Agreed. Ever since I started writing functional components only I’ve found less bugs make their way into my code.

Yeah I was going to say.. where’s the confusion? Once you learn the 3 or 4 most used hooks you can pretty much achieve everything you would ever need in a web app. It’s not like they aren’t documented well, and there are tons of videos on t

Yeah, was reading this at work and immediately had to hit back

Like Parag notes in the letter, a hybrid work environment is hard. Harder than just remote or just in person. The note about remote zoom meetings where some people are in a conference room rings true for me in my company. It's hard to

Maybe the top companies can do this because people like saying "I work for ___", but I would never consider working in an office again. Work life balance with remote is worth so much more to me than the extra money I'd make w

Just because it is a blockchain project doesn't mean it's spam. This is a link to a repo, not a marketing page.

It’s not Facebook knowing who used their app, it’s restrictions on what data Facebook can pull from your phone. It’s also making it clear to users how often this data is being fetched, and the option to opt out of data collection is new too

Is anyone on HN reconsidering having children because of climate change? Recently I've had a big shift myself on this topic, probably influenced by not many women my age (younger than 30) having any interest in bringing a child into a

I think this or some other conservative social media actually gaining some dominance is very likely. Especially with all of the permanent bans recently happening on twitter and facebook. Imagine the power of the echo chamber when the whole

It's comical at this point, anyone working for Norton here? Would love to know the thoughts of someone internal.

That last step is kind of where I’m at for the moment, not half-assing it necessarily but giving much less of myself to my job. It’s been great being remote, I do a fair amount of work and get to spend more time on my mental and physical he

This has nothing to do with tiktok. This same phenomenon can and does occur on all social networks, and people mistakenly self-diagnose all the time outside of social network use too

I doubt this, Reddit has had their own app for years now and every Reddit mobile page on the web nags you to download it

Coding tests are terrible when they have nothing to do with the work you’ll be doing. I recently got rejected for a job because my API endpoint design wasn’t up to requirements. Mind you this was a fully frontend react position, I was told

Similar thing for me, went back to the office once it was an option. After a few weeks I started questioning why I was in the office at all, and I think it came down to a lack of social interaction in my life. Turns out that working on that

It makes people feel good to hear other people confirm their beliefs. We’re all guilty of it, we just have to not let it fully blind us. I think blockchain right now is in the dot-com bubble phase. Eventually the scammers will fade into the

Yeah auto-music is bad. Sound effects are hard to do too, although when done well they can work (at least for me). Example of a site with sound effects that isn't overwhelming: https://www.joshwcomeau.com/

I get spammed by Amazon recruiters! If I were willing to sell my soul I'd gladly join. Instead I'll take 90k less base pay, still make doctor-money, enjoy my life, and not feel depressed morally working for a company like Amazon.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. This is the whole point of typescript in my eyes. Those red squiggles before you even save the file.

I have a CS degree and I develop for the web. Want to know how often I write sorting algorithms for my job? Never, nada, none in 3 years out of school. Could I if asked? Absolutely. First I would question why we aren't using a pre-writ

Wow.. imagine if jobs were interviews, everyone would know how to mergesort in 15 languages from memory but not a single person would know what a div was.

Had an interview yesterday where the guy was seemingly more nervous than I was, and he seemed to mask that nervousness with anger/being rude. I would answer his questions, and he would act like I wasn't understanding the question.

What's the point of going this route when things like React native exist for cross-platform dev? Lots more devs, documentation, industry-use, etc. in the React world. Serious question. Is it just performance?

Over the long term tax payers would probably save money if there were no drug addicts on the street. Less taxes to pay for healthcare when they get sick, prison sentences when they get punished for an illness, and you don’t have to pay for

It’s all perspective. In some parts of the Bay Area 1M buys you little more than a shack to live in. 1M where I live would buy me a great quality home on an adequate plot of land.

Yeah this is the thing. You can’t prove ownership if you copy paste a jpeg or a url. You prove ownership with the blockchain.

Good on her for wording it like that. Too often I bet children are met with answers that don’t clearly describe the situation. Sadness is real and it isn’t wrong to feel deep sadness even as a child.

Nope, I really think I’d feel lost morally if I worked for Amazon. I’d gladly make 100k less per year and work for a company that doesn’t union-bust
