Ebike is a good solution. I ride 20 minutes to work and never show up sweaty. The breeze works better than AC to keep me cool even on 85F+ days. I invested in a good rain jacked wi…

I couldn't disagree more. If possible, always interview with companies you really want to work at later in the process (its often not possible, but this should be plan A.)

Why does that seem crazy to you? Some artificial interventions in the earth's natural processes are bad for humans (global warming, increased rate of desertification) and some inte…

I don't understand the argument that you have to rewrite your application everytime React introduces a new feature. My current company is using a React app, built on top of Create-…

I 100% agree about traffic enforcement cameras. The article makes it sound like these cameras are not intended to enforce traffic laws but rather track the location of every car it…

Should we stop trying to enforce laws because people try to evade enforcement?

The article makes it sound like these cameras aren't intended to enforce traffic laws but rather help solve other crimes that were aided by a car in some way.

The article doesn't mention window tint...but I couldn't imagine that is having 0 effect. Anecdotally about half the cars I see have very dark tint on the driver and passenger wind…

You're only insulated so long as don't have to move. Very few people stay in 1 house for thirty years. If you own a house you are now stuck there - hope you don't need to move for …

People are unhappy about housing. If you own a house with a fixed rate mortgage then inflation will have a heavily muted effect on your personal financial situation since your (mos…

God I hope the truth 1% as interesting as this

I worked on a very large production rails app from 2015-2019 and came away loving Rails and hating Ruby. Give me Rails in TS or Go and I couldn't think of any reason to ever use an…

Or for a couple grand more you can get a base model Subaru with symmetrical AWD and a it will easily get to 200k+ miles.

Agreed. If they had this mixed with some sort of inpatient rehab I could see it offering a lot of hope to some really in-need people.

It shows up on all 3, I think it might be a labeling issue. My guess is that its a classified as a "convenience store", but in reality its closer to a coffeeshop and bottleshop tha…

This underscores how important small businesses are to the health of a city. I live a in less walkable neighborhood on this map - but about a year ago a small (tiny really, ~700sqf…

I don't exactly know how this bill works, but I wouldn't consider banning the public sale of something to be the same as forcing someone to do something. Presumably even if it's il…

Why not just grand-father in all current state driver's licenses and let the migration happen naturally as people renew?

When I see stuff like this sometimes I get depressed that I'm building apps that just move little bits of information around the web and don't have any real demonstrable value to t…

I was at Meta when this was tweeted and I think he must be referring to mostly internal apps. AFAIK the only part of the FB app that was heavily React Native was FB Marketplace. By…

I wouldn't say its the only way we know, rather its the only politically feasible move. Increasing taxes on the wealthy would arguably be a more effective way to take money out of …

This could be considered a good thing. The whole point of increasing interest rates is to lower business investment and consumer purchasing power, which is what we need to do to co…

How about the delivery trucks block car traffic instead of bike traffic.

I would love to see more bills where Democrats provide more police funding but tie it to accountability reforms like this one. Seems like a winning move.
