I think git became dominant because there's no MercurialHub

I use Medium sporadically, and I think it's a good platform to use if you don't already have an audience, since it's easy to repost to larger publications and gain distribution. On…

If it helps, I’ve used Redux in a couple production apps and loved it. Boilerplate can be a bit tedious at times, but in exchange you get a lot of sanity and clarity in your code.

There has certainly been a lot of anti-vaping money backing ballot measures like the recent one in SF. I’ve been meaning to look into who is actually funding this. The tobacco comp…

One thing to keep in mind is that you’re inhaling significantly less vapor per hit with a Juul, than a “mod”.

This is spot on. It's just like any other marketing tactic - it works well until everyone else starts doing it. As for the pricing of posts, the lowballing is getting more and more…

I can say from experience that an Instagrammer with 100k followers is unlikely to get anything near $2700 to post a photo. This was probably true several years ago, but these days …

Blaming your lack of fitting in on being black, and buying into this bullshit your head is telling you is your real problem. I've felt the exact same way you describe in this post,…

Does this come as a surprise to anyone?

I had a similar experience in Palo Alto. Once I realized I was not in the right car, I just got out at the first red light.

The entire point of AA is not to focus on the singular behavior of problem drinking, but instead to produce a complete psychic change. The central theme of the "Big Book" is that s…

Thank you both for your responses! I speak from vivid memories of frustration with that course. I didn't notice the bridge section you had put there. I do really admire and appreci…

Cool idea, but as someone who as actually taken the courses in this list, the order is all out of whack. There is no way someone completely new to programming could jump into Udaci…

Weird. I've come back to our Jade templates months later, thankful I decided to use to Jade. My only beef with it at the time was the lack of documentation, but that seems to have …

You're right. Apples and oranges are basically the same thing. That book holds about the same scientific weight as 50 Shades of Grey. If you don't think there are inherent psycholo…
