* And some would say to sneak in a little QE without calling it QE

No we aren’t the best mammals at swimming but, definitely the best primates. And I think the argument is that the theoretical aquatic ape spent much more time in water than the typ…

While a new story and characters ie Warcraft 4 would be awesome I actually really like this idea. WC3 is a perfect game, refreshing graphics is the only thing I really want and may…

Not that it matters but I interviewed for an Apple team that was using react. Something adjacent to iTunes if I remember correctly.

I think the poster was referring more to Bayer / Monsanto

Apple has spent ~30 billion on share buybacks this year so, I’d say pretty shareholder friendly.

Firefox dev edition has been my go to lately, highly recommended if you do a lot of markup / css debugging. Being able to see outlines around elements as I hover / scan through the…

I’ve been using Firefox Focus with DDG on mobile for about a year and don’t miss Chrome even a little.

Make a leetcode account and do nothing else until your interview.

Siddhartha by Herman Hesse for its portrayal of a spiritual journey / life that was not a ‘religious’ one. This was a book I read in my early twenties that really helped me come to…

Java for me. I started using it at my most recent job and was a little horrified initially at what I was seeing in our codebase. The syntax does you no favors when in comes to code…

I totally agree there is no way these had any real impact on voter turnout. To me these read more like sowing the seeds of division in general than anything else.

I recently had an amazon delivery person submit that they had delivered my package even though they hadn’t. Prompting me to go through the stolen package process, only to find the …

I can only speak for me as someone who really loves the aesthetics of code, but there's something super enjoyable about things like arrow functions rendering as actual arrows in Ja…

Saw a cool implementation of this design on codepen today: https://codepen.io/davvidbaker/pen/KXgPyG

Can't recommend MiniHack highly enough. Love the scroll down to next comment tree feature, just to name one.

Perhaps the larger percentage of founders has more to do with the substantially smaller student body and shorter track record of the university. Daniel Kahneman touches on this phe…

The fire input error state is A+

I don't think learning React is analogous to learning to build client server apps any more than jQuery is. I personally have worked on many static React websites (which is a blast …

I definitely wouldn't assume that a JS newbie knows the http fundamentals. That definitely wasn't the case for me when I started learning. You can get a lot done on the web without…

I don't know why but the "professional" label on this really irritates me. I'm curious to know how the images that got graded on their "professional" scale were selected for inclus…

So much nostalgia in those logos! One thing that struck me looking through those old sets is just how timeless Legos really are. I inherited many of the 70s-80s sets from an older …

Demos look good, and at first glance this might be the most easy to grok animation api I've seen for react. Excited to try this out!

My favorite way to learn a new topic (which consistently works well for me) is to read several books about the same topic back to back. I find that if I read three books by differe…

Surprised no one has mentioned The Tim Ferris Show. That's my #1 right now. He's got a really eclectic but also well thought out guest list and I learn something useful every episo…
