    I tend to agree, however, I typically tell people that if you see longer function names, you should watch out for complexity. In fact, if I have to write some overly complex code t…

    Computers were invented to speed up calculations, and yet the primary thing we use them for today is to read the news and send each other messages and memes… I think it’s totally r…

    I think this option is still ripe for issues within a domestic abuse situation. The abuser would simply use their phone to “trust it”. Maybe a longer dismissal though?

    I always have to remind myself that they’re dependency arrows and not a sequence ordering. They make it look like it flows right to left even though time (or at least sequence) flo…

    If you don’t fix it… and the code is working… what is the problem? I leave notes like that sometime as indicators of intention… or invitation to the next reader… but if it never ch…

    I can empathize with the author here that types can be very challenging to get right, especially with high amounts of dynamism. However, I think that saying it is "terrible for lib…

    I've been using Workflowy for years now. I really love it. They been working lots of interesting features in but stick to the basics that everything starts as a list. You would be …

    MDN docs are the best... they should monetize via high level articles and example implementations for systems. For example, the webRTC docs are great and explain a lot about how it…

    I think these questions come from the idea baked into charitable giving. When you purchase a good, the thing you're getting is obvious, it is what you're purchasing. However, when …

    I've thought about hooking into messages w/ a running mac before... Do you have a high level description of your approach? I looked in the iMessage GraphQL Server server repo for d…

    I'm with you on this one. I prefer it to be in your face simple to understand over the terse-ness. In the gist example, I actually prefer the SQL-92 approach where we are joining g…
