I immediately thought of the Judas Priest album and agreed that supplying heavy metal to the UK is indeed vital.

I'm a bit of a Forensic Files nerd, so I worked on a little side project a while back to pull the transcripts from several episodes, use entity recognition to categorize people, pl…

Ugh, what a bummer. I'll be listening to Holding Out for a Hero on repeat today. Nothing gold can stay.

I was speaking from my own experience. I feel like we are generally required to _accept_ sloppiness given certain circumstances, but I have never worked with an engineer that actua…

If you ever decide to switch careers, please reach out! We're living in weird times and it's nice to know there's other folks out there exploring similar options.

> That said I just had my floors refinished and the contractors we lucked into finding for that 2 week job went above and beyond even my level of attention to detail. It's funny yo…

Yeah this is a totally fair point. I suppose it's indicative of a greater trend I've been noticing as the years have gone by: standards have lowered because the highest quality wor…

Oh my god as soon as I started reading the parent comment I immediately thought of Whackbat! This made my day.

I feel like shoddy construction/craftsmanship isn't limited to new home construction. My wife and I just wrapped up a 6 month renovation of a >100 year old house. I used to work in…

I was thinking the same thing. It truly is a magical place and unlike any other city in America I've been to. I think relocation is best for the safety of the residents (obviously)…

I was in the same boat for a while, but I gave it a shot several years ago when I was doing a lot of driving every day and was powering through audiobooks. This might sound a littl…

When we moved to Portland about 7 years ago, our first apartment was in the Pearl District on Couch (asking someone to pronounce it correctly is another good Portlander test). I'm …

Serves me right for collecting facts from Instagram memes.

Funnily enough, leather tanners and pee is where the terms "piss poor" (being so poor that you need to sell your pee to tanners for cash) and "doesn't have a pot to piss in" (can't…

Bring in Starcraft sounds next please. I want to hear "YOU MUST CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLONS" when I hit my token limit.

Could you post a link?

I've been in therapy for over a year and one of the most valuable things I've learned as a fellow "problem solver" is to run through the "three H's" when something comes up: 1. Do …

Ah, my bad. I apologize if I came off as too aggressive. I know these comment threads can get heated. As far as the comp/transpiling thing, I was referring to something like ScalaJ…

I think maybe you misunderstood what I meant. When I said "perfectly capable mechanism", I meant building the app in JS/TS and leveraging Wasm for additional functionality in your …

> I think it sort of does answer that - if js was not an awful language, there would be no need for TS. Eh, I disagree. For me, this statement is the equivalent of saying "if Pytho…

I'm not sure if this is meant to be snarky or if you're saying that the languages you listed have improved over time. If you're being snarky, you've proven my point by saying sever…

I don't mean to split hairs here, but considering the wording of "throw something in the gutter", I would argue that "hate" isn't really too far off the mark. > Wasm with 'fast' DO…

Wasm is essentially a CPU in the browser. It's very barebones in terms of its capabilities. The DOM API is pretty beefy, so adding DOM support to Wasm would be a massive undertakin…

> Let's not go into that for the millionth time Ok, that's fair. My goal with this question wasn't to open a can of worms. But whenever I see a strong averse reaction to JS, I assu…

> Do that and frontend web-apps will throw JS into the gutter within a decade. Why though? What's wrong with JS? I feel like it's gotten a lot better over the years. I don't really…
