The article suggests not instrumenting layout and paint, though it does mention the double rAF option. Be careful skipping this! It is trivially easy to regress layout perf with CSS property changes and if you’re not instrumenting layout yo

The article mentions “new Date()” as the alternative to the performance API. Unless you’re supporting IE8 you should prefer Date.now(), which saves you the object instantiation if you’re just reading out ms. Also, performance.now (and the d

To clarify, when I increase, I bring it up to market rate, not over market rate. So my losses on missed rent are not recouped. I also contend that not all markets make this easy. I rent a single family home in a town of 4,000. This is not a

FWIW, this is still more bookkeeping for me (have to track when to raise, how much remaining to raise). I also personally feel like a dick every time I serve the rent notice - it’s a small town and everything feels a little personal. It’s n

I have done this twice with the same tenant without complaint or moveout. My tenant was presumably getting basic inflation based increases at work, which offset most of the delta. Unclear on why doing it all at once is worse than doing it r

I am a CA landlord of a single house. Keeping track of “market rate” is an annoying exercise and I tend to just leave the rate unchanged for multiple years (3-5) then bring it up in one go. The last time I did this the rent increased ~12%.

This is not a good analogy. The plumber is free to set their own rates, an uber driver cannot. No one can unilaterally fire the plumber from 50% of the plumbing market. Uber or Lyft can ban a driver at any time for any reason. You probably

Making suboptimal investments is also a tax of a sort. Presumably the carbon capture projects that are optimal deployments of capital are already happening. If you want other “investments” to happen, you’re going to need to subsidize them.

I agree with your premise, but not with your digression. I still read the code reviews of my team’s experts closely because: 1) I might learn something. If they are experts in the domain, they almost certainly know things I don’t. 2) Even

It may be that the bidder is an affiliate that gets a commission on your purchase, not the brand owner. They're just trying to get last click on the thing you were about to buy anyway. I worked in AdWords 12 years ago and this was domi

I assume these are the costs at scale. There are likely fixed costs that dramatically increase the unit price of a single home installation.

That's roughly inline with the 24% federal tax bracket covering $82,500-$157k (single filer). Many engineers are in the 32% or 35% bracket. It's definitely in the realm of "high quality problem"

It's actually worse than that for RSU holding employees. The taxation event occurs on share release for RSUs, at a cost basis of the price on release. In many cases, that will be the day of the IPO, at the IPO price. If the share price

At a certain spend level, advertisers want to have a single human that they can call when they need something/something goes wrong ("a single throat to strangle"). Providing this dedicated connection is also an opportunity to

ES6 has eliminated most (though not all) of the pain Coffeescript solved. I work on a large code base that went from Coffeescript -> Typescript (mostly manual, some decadfeinate), and typesafety has been a huge boon for our developers. F

No, it's at the discretion of the company. I asked for an 83(b) option at a 10 person startup I worked at and the CEO made it happen. The startup still went under so it didn't matter in the end, but management definitely did what

The correlation you note is cross species. I thought within the same species it tends to be reversed (e.g. Smaller dog breeds live longer than big ones). Here's an unscientific article with a footnote that shorter people tend to live l
