Wouldn't "Videos to make you happy" a better description for this show hn? I couldn't find a way to "share" anything, it seemed more like a feed of videos.

I know that's how the saying goes, but I don't think I would be saying now that I'd wish I had gone traveling if I had not done it. I'm pretty such I would not be wishing for traveling if I'm at the same state of ha

I look back and my traveling days and I think I'd be better off doing something else during that period. It seems like traveling and adventuring has been glamorized by the media and people around me a bit much and I caught the bug. Lo

My journey to rediscovery the joy of programming started at a local FreeCodeCamp meetup group. I simply showed up every meeting and got to know some of the regular students. I helped them with problems that were simple for me, but explainin

Really cool, thanks for sharing. Didn't know I even had a need for Kubernetes IDE until I saw the site.

Loving the songs, the songs are so relatable. I wonder if anyone feels this during prod bugs: "They keep saying “we work as a team. But lowkey everybody’s blaming me" Song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyrrPiNI3

very interesting idea. I've come across projects where functions are exported for the only reason of testing it. This library makes it so that your helper functions get to stay privately scoped inside the file.

not sure what your point is... should I stop caring because it makes no difference? You care because you care.

I eventually learned (the hard way) to start getting users from day 1. Before I start coding something, I start with paper and pen and find a user. I build (quickly, usually always hardcoded stuff) it and show to user. They like / disl

Went to the site, excited to try it, then gave up after the login screen. Would it be possible to have a section for me to upload images to see the effect first? If I like it, I will create an account (presumably to save the images I upload

Definitely! I'm still in the process of learning and figuring this out, I'll write something after this goes on for awhile. The last thing I want to do is start something, write about it like I know what I'm talking about, th

Last year, a librarian reached out to me asking if I could run a program because they are getting alot of requests for tech education and they didn't have resources. That got me thinking... hey maybe its possible to help the library st

Yeah last year we did it for 3 months as a pilot program. It was a little messy, but the librarians loved it. I took about a year break to think hard about how it could be more effective and came up with a self-guided curriculum and then la

Agreed. Most VCs are just that, useless sacks of breathing meat. For that reason, I've avoided them. Even during parties, I (unfairly) dismiss someone the moment I find out they are a VC and just invested in ...(insert famous tech here

Ultimately, everyone should use higher order functions. In your case (as other commenters have said), map or forEach should have been used. I don't really want to make a statement that recursion makes debugging easier because I don&#x2

Yes. curriculum starts off with recursion, then moves on to higher order functions and nobody touches recursion again.

by yjhoney 7y ago
eventually everyone defaults to using forEach, every, map, reduce, filter, etc. Nobody writes recursion in codebases.

I teach a JS coding class and I had the luxury of creating the curriculum. To the horror of my peers, I decided that coding with loops was not necessary for beginners and got rid of loops altogether from our curriculum. I thought OP was pro
