Employees cost more than just their salary, but I see your point. So far, their attempts to make reddit more profitable have made the user experience terrible. "New" reddit is way …

Kids do not write laws or have political agendas. In an ideal world, skin color would be an afterthought. But that is not the world we live in. I grew up as a white person in a 99%…

You can go by feel and sometimes appearance (and pretty much have to for some things like pork ribs), but the size and shape of large chunks of meat vary quite a bit, so does the w…

Large chunks of meat are best done by temp. A brisket, for example, can look the same if the internal temp is at 150 vs 210. One is pretty much inedible. Same for large chunks of p…

What do you not like about web dev? What type of work do you like doing?

I'd say that's mostly true for credit card transactions, but I don't of anyone who has gotten scammed and got their money back. Banks either don't care, or can't actually do anythi…

I think it's mostly the teachers and the administrators who advocate for the earlier times. Well, that and parents who drop off their kids before work. A later start would be great…

I have api key, but I obeyed the (low) limits when I used it. I heard a lot of recommendations for it, but was surprised with the free tier limit.

Isn't AlphaVantage free limited to 5 requests a minute and 500 a day? And it requires an API key?

Again I have no idea what I'm talking about, but https://www.equities.com/news/robinhood-is-said-to-get-40-re... https://twitter.com/justinkan/status/1354853920762253315 I'm no mar…

"Manipulated by an angry mob" is one way to look at it, but "unsophisticated investors attempting to short squeeze billion dollar hedge funds" is another.

So Melvin Capital got a few billion from Citadel after the reddit short squeeze started? And we're not supposed to think anything about that is shady? And there is no proof Melvin …

Robinhood is what all the people jumping on the bandwagon used. And this coincided with a sharp price drop on all of these stocks blocked. The reason was "Due to ongoing volatility…

Pi-Hole/NextDNS also blocks adds in most apps. I used NextDNS (which has a limit on the free tier), and recently switched to pihole running on my home server. I also use ZeroTier t…

It's not just HN. I think it's pretty fair to be concerned about facebook's tracking, given the level they already go to on their site. I just spent $1000 on a Valve Index, since t…

> You know ahead of time how many items you're trying to insert, it would be completely pointless to return that. In simple CRUD cases yes. In many other scenarios, you might not. …

I think that's too simple of a case to really make an argument either way. Just return a Some/None or Optional. Null is ok too, but not the best (it's baked in to most languages al…

Yes, but you can still argue just throwing it might be better. This also affects the stack trace, because, at least in C# (so probably F#) `throw ex;` is different than `throw;`, w…

Emulate has another meaning in the technology world too though, so it might be confusing. RN has to keep the bridge up to date with best practices/deprecation, etc... so that seems…

> It emulates the UI, so the fake is noticeable, and it will be hard for them to maintain perfect 1:1. I don't think 'emulate' is the right word. It renders it's UI. I don't get 'h…

Yeah, I used git and ignored node_modules. Honestly, most of the problems are related to Windows. Whenever I try to use anything geared towards web dev, there are just more issues …

Not OP, but I've tried all of the big SPA frameworks (not specifically react native though) and I decided to use flutter for a non-trivial side project and I don't ever want to tou…

I hope not. I started using flutter recently and it is by far the best development experience I've had creating anything with a UI. Easy to install (even on windows), build, statef…

Also switch to Bitwarden. Never had any issues. Open source and free.

I didn't mean to say that there was nothing thought provoking or educational, just that YouTube wasn't showing it. It shows high view count, mindless, addictive videos. Even if you…
