I was wondering if you would mind being a bit more specific about your criticism towards React and the JS community? If you know React well, it seems like there are things that eve…

I see where you are coming from, but I personally don't find the comment narcissistic: I read it the OP of the comment thinking out load, saying "ah! It's nice to know that I have …

Those were my reactions, too! The one thing that I want the most whenever I have to jump out of the CSS per-processor world and write regular CSS. It is worth noting that in SASS y…

I don't disagree with you on the potential financial burdens faced by PhD students but, in this case, and if I haven't missed anything, the infrastructural barrier is not high: > A…

I think that may be a bit of an unfair statement. They do note just above in the public instances the following: > Note: Use public instances at your own discretion. Maintainers of…

Maybe it was a different time and/or environment, but that couldn't be furthered from the truth according to my experience — even if I read that as a metaphorical door. Many of the…

Mn. :( By the time I found out about the 24-hour thing I couldn't edit my original post anymore, the Gist link that I included eventually include for an improved version was also a…

That's fair enough. We were lucky that hospital capacity wasn't much of a problem, but the lack of vaccination coverage together with a lot of... questionable strategies and mixed …

Maybe I'm missing your point: but wouldn't one be more concerned if there are more people vaccinated and the number of cases is higher? Also, I was under the impression that the lo…

I guess "big" and "tiny" are subjective. My point still hasn't changed: that people who are saying that "we have X many cases in our city, your ~200 cases is nothing compared to ou…

I'm not sure whether military intervention is right or not, but for everyone making comparisons based on absolute numbers, please note that the population in Sydney is tiny. If you…

No pressure at all! I could just... not think about it if I didn't want to. :p I took another stab at it and this is what I ended up with: https://gist.github.com/honmanyau/5680d1c…

I was bored, here you go! A completely offline browser-based markdown editor! https://notes.cx/ZkZNL9vFr Edit: Updated styles. Clarified what it is.

I forgot to say that what you said is perfectly reasonable and not too different form my initial reaction. This is indeed very weird (but cool) science. :)

The title is not misleading, and the golden layer formed is metallic water and not any of the metals used -- where electrons are delocalised/shared between water molecules. They ha…

Thank you very much for taking the time to address my question! I feel that the system you already have at the moment actually works quite well, and investing the time to "speak di…

I'm only asking because this looks like a great initiative, and it's something I care about: how do you plan to keep yourself accountable in the process? I have seen a lot of job b…

I was wondering if someone could comment on the pronunciation of "q" in Chinese (Mandarin). From time to time the advice that "q" is pronounced as "ch" pops up. While I have no iss…

Yes, but that's not related to code example I gave, which produces a syntax error.

> The lowdown: you can copy and paste just about any website directly into your JavaScript code without modification and it won't break anything. The following doesn't seem to be v…

I'm not sure what it is, but something about the colour palette used in the examples shown feels a bit off to my untrained eyes. Is there actually a job market for pure UI designer…
