For low light conditions my full frame mirrorless is way better than a phone.

Growing up Subaru had these Outback commercials with a guy that had an Australian accent. The accent plus the Outback name made me believe for my entire childhood that Subaru were …

I discovered Slowly just over a month ago. Really surprised about the lack of spam and the interactions I've had.

As the partner of someone who is addicted to a computer game this is 100% not true. The game takes over any non-working hours and eats in to sleep time.

I'm not saying things are the best I think they can be. I'm saying the progress is amazing and overall has been positive. If someone were to make you an offer to build a complex we…

When I was a younger developer I used to believe things like this. There are tons of roles and different levels to fill. People come from all sorts of backgrounds. You shouldn't di…

Ford Fiesta owners got this awful Sync 2 system and a poorly designed transmission. When I purchased, the Sync system seemed like something I could deal with at the time. It aged p…

It's so confusing and easy to create another cart... I've had groceries end up in the normal Amazon cart, then below that Amazon Fresh cart, and below that Whole Foods Market cart.…

Pretty sure JavaScriptCore predates Chrome. V8 was Chrome only.

I blame AT&T/Verizon. The power to stop scam calls is well within their control.

This country's government is based on the idea that people aren't intelligent (or interested) enough to think about politics for themselves. That's what a representative democracy …

Fitness and confidence is easily overtaken by stupidity and resentment by car drivers on the road, at least around here. The white spray painted bicycles you see along the road can…

Configuring the modern JS toolkit (webpack, Babel, your framework of choice, Jest, etc) is such a pain. I’ve been doing front-end for 10+ years. You’re probably not a bozo.

Sure. Do you know of any studies that analyze the power consumption of different languages on the backend? I'd be curious to see how they compare.

You blame a client side programming language for data center power usage?

That’s awesome. I didn’t know about shampoo bars. Going to give them a try!

And then they'll add on a monthly robocall prevention fee to your bill. :P

"There’s no hope of understanding the DOM with React" This is false. I've been developing with React for over a year and a half and have never used the React dev tools. I've only e…

Wow. I've been writing CSS for 10+ years. I never knew that.

Evidence?

Post a video when you do it. :P

For me it was rock climbing. I had been suffering for a couple of years. I had been to the doctor a couple of times, but I wasn't really getting much out of the exercises he prescr…

On the demo page in Chrome, Faster.js is actually slower.

Service Workers creep me out, but maybe I'm in the minority. I don't want web pages to be able to execute code if I'm not actually on their page. To be honest, I don't even want mo…
