I don’t doubt this happens but seems like a poor example. She effectively rooted out a bullshitter. No worries if you don’t know how a tool works, but just say I don’t know. That answer was nonsensical.

Putting this here with zero expectations but kinda hopeful there’s a workaround. I like to keep my hands on my keyboard and I can `command-L` `hn` `return` my way to Algolia quickly from an open browser. But why oh why doesn’t the search in

“A day in the life” (I think?) was the popular one at my school. I think because there was a way to go to an arcade and play a video game within the game.

The little familiarity I have with discord makes me think maybe it’s not quite as bad? More like IRC with a more modern interface, and not as much designed to be a total time and attention sink? Would be curious about others’ takes. I get k

Replace with TikTok or Snapchat or whatever they are using. Because they are definitely using social media. Maybe you’re playing gotcha at a poor millenial’s out of date examples but the point stands. Source: parent of high schooler.

I agree negative return for that long is not necessarily expected. Definitely fair for some period of onboarding though. The havoc I was referring to was more due to the person’s political skills and ability to shift the blame for his own s

Fair enough. I meant specifically in the context of data visualization libraries, having done a fair bit of that sort of work in my own career. It’s harder to make a basic chart in d3, compared to many out of the box solutions, but it’s pos

So D3 is not what I’d consider a high-level library. The point of it is to be able to do all kinds of stuff not supported by your average charting solution’s out of the box histograms and whatnot. It’s a great way to make more bespoke visua

Well tbf Kremlin (as typically used) isn’t just a USSR reference it’s a specific place in Moscow. Still used as a metonym for Russia’s government. That said I do actually love that Soviet propaganda aesthetic. Can appreciate not wanting to
