Anyone who wants to go into p5 for games or visualizations would be well advised to either read Dan Shiffman's book (as another poster mentioned) or check out his YouTube channel, …

Also, there is Disney World, and EuroDisney, and hundreds of other non-Disney theme parks throughout the US and worldwide. Disney is setting a price that keeps them at the upper ec…

My personal take on this is that the idea of adjusting for inflation over time based on macroeconomic rates of inflation is useless (apart from showing that even though we make mor…

Facebook already has a subscription system. They sell hundreds of millions of ad slots per day to willing buyers so they can put messages in front of your eyes. Advertisers subscri…

You only need to see who the author of this post is to know that the methodology is crap, the numbers are likely made up (19.42% is WAY too specific), and the post is just a grab f…

Totally agree on jr vs sr. Another point that is conveniently overlooked in the article so the author can have his holier-than-thou moment. It seems he's hiring seniors, and only w…

Too many people here are crowing about the GitHub thing, and not enough about: > Above all, I try to hire people who I'd want to pair with tomorrow. People who are better than me, …

A Whiteboard coding challenge is the exact thing you describe. But instead of interviewers looking over your shoulder, they look at the whiteboard as you stand in front of them and…

Agree on all accounts, except for paper working when wet. :P

100000% agree. I would have loved to get more practical stuff in high school, and less fluff. Woodworking is a lifetime skill, and contributed to my understanding of spatial organi…

I just bought a house, and signing all the mortgage docs, they told me I had to sign my name exactly as it appears on the document: First Middle Last. My signature, the one that is…

I was arguing that, in Europe, and France specifically, it's a way to see whether or not a potential candidate is "French" enough. It's expounded as a psychological tool (orthograp…

That's cool. This type of thing just sparks something in my brain. I learned cursive because it was beat into me. As soon as I could abandon it I did, and for good reason too. My c…

Here's my take: The author was born in the 90s, and was in elementary and middle school in the 2000s, when keyboarding was already seen as a primary skill. His take that "nobody wr…

If this question is serious, then it's a terrible way to think. What is "making" a million dollars? Revenue? Profit? Are you just leveraging $10k into loans? Is it investment money…

I guess nothing is gripe-free these days. Sheesh.

Not OP, but I have experience with the layers they describe. These are not separate Google Analytics products, but levels of implementation of the Google Analytics code. The first …

You can still play the actual Wordle (and access all past, and apparently future, games) here, ad-free, monetization-free, gripe-free: https://timewarple.com/

This, and only this. He literally states "Fast forward two years and several pivots, and my slightly-less-early-stage business is doing $900 per month in revenue... from ads." I us…

So, we have to hope that those in power will effectively regulate themselves? Like Apple and Microsoft and Google and FaceBook, etc can effectively regulate themselves? The point i…

If someone invites you out to a sushi dinner, you are free to decline simply because you do not eat sushi; but you should also consider your audience when communicating your reject…

I feel like this article does a much better job of reviewing Don't Look Up than the article that passed through here last week. As an allegorical reading, it calls out the major pl…

Game Play: maybe you want it this way, but the animations are an impediment to gameplay. I like to type the words, and in a timed situation, typing quickly should be an asset to th…
