    I found it annoying to be forced into a pedantic onboarding tutorial. I decided not to finish it. Can't you wait until I try to do things, like view recipes or build grocery lists,…

    Great list! But I was perplexed by the text editors mentioned. Author claims to be looking at trend data, but seems to have a bias against Subljme Text editor. I don't know if ther…

    I've already responded to your previous comments; so I hope it doesn't feel like I'm trying to target you, because you're not the only one who feels the way you do and I can unders…

    Well, that's sort of my point. I don't think there is a good solution to empower some entity to decide what values and intents are acceptable. But I don't think the values and inte…

    But wouldn't trying to solve some of these problems make more sense than a turn toward homeschooling? Maybe get more mature, self-actualized people involved in the lives of all chi…

    I believe it's more of a convenience, and React-based projects are setup for it. You can avoid dealing with the global cascade and there's no need to maintain a parallel set of fil…

    Your privilege is showing. Not everyone who "chose" the job they have really has a choice. It's just not that simple. BOH employee pay rates are generally not based on the assumpti…
