It's simple, but requires a great deal of time to take advantage of compound interest. It's simple, but it requires dedication: you must say the course. Invest early, invest often,…

It clears it up but personally, I'd rather just write `app.route(login, ...)`. Isn't a lot clearer to use more conventional language features? What exactly is this buying me? I don…

It sounds like a single entity is helping many workers take individual cases (under unique circumstances). This sounds just like a class-action lawsuit, except with extra steps. If…

I'm not a huge fan of decorators since they obfuscate the state of the runtime. What exactly does the call stack look like when login gets invoked? What variables are in scope? I f…

"Increasing engagement" is probably a KPI in nearly every consumer-facing product these days. And as time goes on, it becomes more obvious, desperate, and frankly, annoying. Like w…

Yeah, that's another angle I didn't touch on. You don't have to publish all the feedback data. You can choose just to goes with the quantitative results. Comments are tricky since …

I don't understand how that's a third option because either the review data is open and publicly available, or it isn't. That 'third option' is just an opinion about the data.

When you review feedback collected (in any situation analogous to what you mention), you take that into account. What if the feedback also said the doctor wasn't personable? Maybe …

I wasn't questioning the price --and I get that static sites are fairly trivial to create and host-- just the idea of a full-blown website for a wedding. I know they're very common…

I always found the concept of a whole website, domain name, etc dedicated to a wedding to feel a little... heavy. I understand it's a big occasion. It just feels like a lot for a s…

In some aspects yes, in others no. I accidentally cut myself a little too deep while doing dishes a couple years ago (opaque, soapy water and sharp surfaces don't mix well). I coul…

Students aren't reviewing the quality of their campus on-site gym when they review their professor. There's genuine concerns that should be reasonably heard. One example is slownes…

We made our own review system, to compete with the contracted-out system they used for their siloed data we didn't have access to. We agreed to not launch the system, in exchange f…

Very few professors are granted tenure, as was the case in the past. It's weakly non-zero: times have changed. There are far more adjunct professors today. Universities are more ru…

We pushed very hard at my alma mater to publicize course/teacher evaluations. We eventually got the University to accept iff a minimum participation rate was met (on a per course b…

I don't think we should necessarily be gatekeeping here. What makes life challenging is subjective to the individual. There are young people out there subject themselves to a lot o…

No need to be impolite. For one, no I haven't, since I'm not 40 years old. Second, they risk losing their core constituencies: the creative industry, and developers.

It actually has a different result, for someone like myself: it makes me not buy a new iPhone at all. I like the ability to charge my phone and listen to music simultaneously, with…

The hope is that you'd buy the Apple-branded one. Obviously Bluetooth is an open standard -- but that was the business intent. An adapter is less convenient to use than having the …

Removing the 3.5mm headphone jack was pretty rent seeking-- they hoped you'd buy the AirPods instead. It wasn't deliberately stated, but it would be in poor taste for them to state…

A more mature project wouldn't have just React as a dependency. Point is, it's a lot of code to vet. React may have 5 indirect dependencies, but in my projects, I have 30 or more d…

It's the kind of thing where, if everyone with this problem chipped in $5/month, we could have a central repository of vulnerabilities. So, not absolving yourself of responsibility…

This resonates with me, as my alma mater definitely doesn't have much (compared to the top endowments out there). It's not amount to sneeze at, but still, there are others ahead of…

It's impractical, on an individual level, to vet your entire dependency tree. Installing something like react alone will put 100+ modules in your dependency tree. A more mature pro…

In my experience, academia is largely driven by money. Professors at my university were recognized for the money they brought to the university first and foremost it seemed, rather…
