A few things: I'm sorry for all the pains you have been through. Yes, people assume things based on how you express yourself, and what you choose to mention or not. This is normal.…

I'm more concerned with, when you discount the studies that have been shown to be poor, does the overall system 1/system 2 model become weaker? I think it does, a bit, but he takes…

This comment itself seems much more accurate than your original post. It allows for the fact that - sometimes - you don't have the power to change things right then. Sometimes the …

> But telling someone they can face their problems, and having that person feeling guilt or worthless because of that is not the same thing. That depends on who is listening, which…

> The ones that are meant to program would flourish under a computer with just a black and white Terminal app on their disposal. I don't know about "meant to". I avoided writing an…

Man, as I continue to try to see the shades and subtleties in what you are saying, statements like this gross oversimplification get in the way: > If you do that, it's not possible…

Some good recommendations here! I do think that in the original parent post, but not in yours, the implication is that people who had problems had simply not found the correct moti…

> If that person reads my writing, they don't get any value from it. To be fair, they may well think you are referring to them, because of your words here and how you don't seem to…

I know people who escaped severe depression and suicidal thoughts only through medication, after trying all the talky-thinky stuff they could. I also know people who manage their d…

> I call bologna on that, we can change anything. Please be cautious about making such statements. I respect your experience and success at changing things for yourself with this m…

It's essentially an ad that gets you to click it by making you think you are somehow logged in on a site you don't have an account on. I emailed them about this because I think it'…

Good to hear- I’m hoping to switch to full time web development some time in the new year. It's actually my favorite thing at these other jobs.

I’m a web developer in my spare time. I write little things that solve problems in my two day jobs, they haven’t tended to be pretty because often I’m learning as I go and when it …

When a customer is burned by a bad product with excellent reviews, especially more than once, ordering from Amazon could quickly become more trouble than it's worth.

(please ignore this, I apparently didn't read your comment fully!)

> It must have been the introduction of the typewriter that brought the idea of "two spaces" instead of "wider space". Come to think about it, why not the movable type printing pre…

> Proportional fonts help pack letters within a word, not pack words within/between sentences. I was probably wrong to try and fuzzily remember an anecdote rather than look it up :…

The anecdote I heard was that the extra space made it more clear when sentences were ending based on how the fixed-width typeface would read. With proportional fonts the spacing is…

I came to vue liking JSX pretty well, but it does seem that culturally (or maybe just among newer developers like me) the single-file component with directives in the markup is mor…

I’ve heard this so many times, and don’t get me wrong I really like Vue, but I’m so surprised people find it easy to learn compared to the others. It wasn’t an uphill battle but I …

Thanks! And also, ugh. The line between business and residential shipping has blurred enough that this distinction, though convenient for UPS, does not reflect the reality of how m…

Once, I made an SPA for an interview with plain JS and handlebars for templating. It was for a react team and I was not big into react but wanted to show I get how all the pieces f…

Not to detail this too much, but can you confirm a story my boss was told last week is possible? We've had the same stuff "out for delivery" for several days to a residential addre…

I bet that for folks who are designers and get the reference his choice makes perfect sense and it might even be nice. But for me, most importantly, after loading the page it was u…
