That's interesting I guess, but a pointless piece of data without asking why.

You can have my job I guess, I'm not going to sit at a prompt all day being a manager for a computer. It's not an appeal to tradition, I genuinely enjoy programming. Keep up that g…

Integration tests are a thing.

Sooo like the Spotify app for the past 10 years.

A better question is where do you draw the line in terms of companies supplying actors that are directly contributing to human suffering? We (America, but others as well) cut trade…

No it's not. doctorhandshake wasn't even making an analogy. They were applying OP's rule (we shouldn't dictate business based on political beliefs) to a hypothetical in order to de…

Do we want hammers to be restricted to only those whose political ideologies align with ours? Yeah, why not? If you're a hammer manufacturer, then you should absolutely concern you…

Just like how the courts prevented mass surveillance and illegal authorization of war.

Sometimes it can help to give an explanation instead of just making an opinionated statement. Saying you found it uninteresting doesn't really contribute much to a conversation.

I don't doubt it, but at least some security is a side effect of that.

As someone who stopped doing React development before Context became a "thing", is it possible to ELI5 in a couple sentences why it is such an important concept?

Social media is slightly different in that content is catered to the individual, so I'd guess that it does a slightly better job at siloing people. It also allows others on the pla…

>How would you describe a "reddit-style mugging for karma"? Normally an extreme appeal to emotion. In this case excessive use of caps-lock and a fictional narrative that doesn't su…

I don't think that private censorship is necessarily a problem, but I do think that corporations having the authority to exercise what is a pretty effective form of muting is a pro…

Remote work might bring relief to the larger cities, but it also opens up smaller, often blue-collar industry towns up for gentrification, out-pricing the existing residents in a p…

>I think equating ugly with hard-to-read is a common mistake This is just a semantics argument. I can replace "ugly" with "hard-to-read" if you want. I think it's both, in this ins…

I disagree :) It's easier for me to look at an object and its contents and see where it is referenced. I think switch statements are ugly. I think if/else blocks are ugly. I prefer…

I've pretty much always paid for Spotify, and from what I can remember when they first started all of their ads were "radio" ads. How were they using IE to display their ads? Did t…

It doesn't seem that much has changed in terms of local consumption. We've reduced our crude oil imports by almost the same amount that we've increased our crude oil exports. At le…

The article itself seems pretty accurate.

It's just a tiny language feature, removing the parenthesis is not the point of the template literal. FWIW, I like the way it looks for styled-components: const NameTag = styled.di…

It shouldn't be, AFAIK they should be used together. Use CSS grid for general layout of multiple elements on a page or area. Use flexbox to style something that suits a row or colu…

This is really cool! I am definitely going to mess around with this later.

>hopefully never have to commute ever again Yes! Honestly, my commute (probably 20 mins average) was laughable compared to anyone who works in the city. But even after good work da…
