I think this is a hard problem to solve for a couple of reasons. - Skew of supply and demand. There will be always be another musician willing to earn less money because they still…

I wonder if we’ll ever see a computer assisted style in esports, like what exists within chess. Bring your best cheats.

Reminds of a quote about Van Morrison: There are two types of people. The people that like Van Morrison and the people that have met him

A quote from a jazz theory book comes to mind. Goes something like this: Jazz is 99% theory 1% magic. The difference between the greats is that they’ve forgotten all the theory

This basically the plot of the movie ”Real Genius”

Very nice! The first brief I give my students when teaching web development is similar - Web design like it’s 1999

I don’t remember where I read this (think it was some published paper) but I was building some audio streaming thing on top of WebRTC and there was an estimate that 60% of people w…

Actually reimplementing something that’s already exists is a great way to get an understanding of it precisely so you can deal with the questions you mention. My rule of thumb is t…

As a kid I acquired my parent’s login to the school platform meaning I could call in sick myself. However one day I actually got sick so they had to call it in which means they wou…

Cannot recommend this course enough

My biggest gripe is touch interfaces on stoves. You constantly spill water or other things.

I’m very much teaching the same thing - an eight week introduction to JS (after 6 weeks of HTML/CSS). My approach was to lead with one week of unplugged programming just introducin…

The word safe here is doing a lot of heavy lifting imo. Not necessarily safe as in physical safety but also contractual safety. An example is pension where companies not under coll…

Not sure if this is what you mean but built in “masonry” support is now part of the CSS spec (barely any browser support yet though. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CS…

I’m still looking for a lightweight solution (no react etc) that lets me write normal CSS but scoping it to an arbitrary part of my HTML tree. Most of the time I’ll be working in a…

I’m a teacher mainly for front end development. One of the courses I added this year is called The Ecosystem of the Web. The brief was that they have to propose a new feature of th…

I’ve found the opposite work for me. Finding silly pun names early greatly improves the chances of me finishing it.

Don’t know too much about the Canadian market but isn’t the convenience of not doing something illegal and it being easily accessible worth paying for. That’s why streaming service…

And on that note the ”trick” to being more experienced is being able to anticipate what’s coming up next and already have a mental model for how to solve that. Easier said than don…

I think what’s missing from a lot of agile teaching material is how you build trust with your stakeholders/management. Without it whatever process you implement will still morph to…
