Look at your analytics and see which browsers your users are using. Sometimes, I’ve worked on apps without a big userbase but we had to support IE because a big percentage used it.…

Can’t believe they didn’t include “intimate partner violence”. OK, I can believe it but it’s the dumbest, least understood term I’ve ever come across. For nstance, IPV usually does…

As someone who started off in Ember and then began developing in React: I've never liked React Router. IMO, the url is best treated as data because it doesn't work well as part of …

Yes. It makes you better. The data provided shows it doesn’t make you as much better as other things but experience will make you better.

Hopefully not that but it could happen. Typically you’ll have a lock up or the company has a right of first refusal to repurchase the stock.

> “In fact, there’s some evidence to suggest the opposite,” he added, noting risks from an improperly fitted mask or touching the face while taking it off or putting it on. it's ha…

This reminds me of a job I had while starting my first business after college. I was a bar-tender for a catering company. We did a lot of fancy parties so a big part of my job was …

You ain't kidding. Jobs gave people the choice of good, better, or best. That was it. 3 options and you probably already knew which one you were walking out with.

I have zero information on how X (i.e. Musk's holding company for Twitter) is structured but it's possible to issue stock in a private company. The difference is that you cannot se…

Yup. He's now a "gentleman" blueberry farmer.

I know one insider at Meta that I could ask about this. I suspect they can't really retain talent like they used to. The only other anecdote I have is an acquaintance who was early…

What valuation? Per the article, it's being delisted and taken private. Which, may attract talent who wants to build something for the long term rather than being pinned to quarter…

I think this is a huge part of his success. That clarity makes buying simpler for customers. You get the color that your device is supposed to be. Period.

My first impression of OP’s post was that it’s not going to be supported by corporate culture. Optimizing for quarterly profit isn’t going to align with an employee optimizing for …

I only watch the pbs news hour and remember Fauchi talking about masks at this time. He never claimed they didn’t work and always pointed out it was about preserving the supply. I …

I read through a few paragraphs of weird rants before I gave up. No mention of the cdc from what I saw there.

Pair programming is a great way to learn. Just watch what others do and pick up tricks. Also, check out fugitive by tim pope. It’s a git plugin for vim that’s changed my life. It’l…

Being on the homescreen increases DAU/MAU by about 50%. Push notifications increase DAU/MAU by multiples. Those are the killer features for social media. I'd also assume that the w…

The study does show the bias is linked to actually having sex.

The aliens could just send back blueprints for a black hole weapon and wait for us to do the wrong thing.

I was thinking that I wouldn’t appreciate aliens sending crazy microbes to earth just to see what happens. It’s weird that NASA is funding the DEEP-IN part of the project but not t…

> Uhhhh, Imma suggest you don't know what an ad hominem attack is. I’d suggest I can at least identify one when I see it. For instance I’ve just quoted one ;)

What I’m saying is that an ad hominem attack must avoid the subject to be a logical fallacy. So, saying it’s ok for cops to murder George Floyd because Candice Owens convinced me h…

It’s so unclear. There’s so much we don’t know about America it’s pretty insane.

South America was also much more populous than North America. I suspect we weren’t as successful at eliminating stouthearted americas culture.
