Thanks for the kind words! Will definitely consider.
I'd love to both participate and lurk :)

Would you please provide an example on how one proceed with T shaped learning and expertise?
A phrase I came up with that I like more than "T-shaped" is "molecular skillset". A chemist would probably laugh at me but I think of it as developing seemingly independent skills (molecules skills, experience, knowledge...) that end up forming bonds with other skills, sometimes in surprising ways, that together prove really powerful and can bond up even further. "T" and other tree/tendril-ish shapes are then just sp…
That’s way too exciting !! Really fresh perspectives.
I once tried upgrading my Windows laptop while having very less space in C drive. Windows totally crashed. After that I used live bootable Ubuntu, but would still like to retrieve all of my windows data.
Do you know how can I do that?

https://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk might be able to help you, it helped me once when I tried to resize some partitions and ran into problems.

Many thanks. That’s awesome!!

#295Great work :-) I had fun programming Basic and Z80 assembler when I was 11 as well. I always remember it as being a great time of discovery and passion.

no man its objectively good language, believe me. see how that sounds? that's how you js haters sounds each time I see this bs here on this and many other platforms that wouldn't be possible without js.
> no man its objectively good language, believe me. A language that requires a 21x21 matrix to remember how equivalency works is objectively bad: https://dorey.github.io/JavaScript-Equality-Table/unified/ A language whose default sort behavior is the following is objectively bad: [5, 12, 9, 2, 18, 1, 25].sort(); → [1, 12, 18, 2, 25, 5, 9] I used to be a frontend dev. I have written hundreds of thousands of lines of p…
Sanitize your data and you will be fine. Need more static checks? use flow or typescript, but most of the time they are irrelevant. Nice attempt at disguising the usual bs the-code-you-will-never-see-in-prod complaints with that equality table.
I'm sorry you are butthurt over your job, don't try to nitpick on minor things to dissuade others from enjoying the unparalleled power that comes with JS and its ecosystem.

#297Congratulations Liam!!!
You're doing phenomenal. You'll be role model for up-coming generation.
Great!!

I like to break expressions across multiple lines, and line up any patterns that are repeated, so your eye can easily scan up and down and obviously see what's the same, and what's different. For example, instead of: var length = Math.sqrt((x * x) + (y * y)); You can go: var length = Math.sqrt((x * x) + (y * y)); That way you can see the similarity of squaring x, and squaring y. But breaking up the multiplications be…
it infuriated me that Google's style guides forbid this kind of formatting. Anytime someone else tried to get them to allow it it was shouted down as ASCII art
If I'm honest, I like that kind of formatting for small 2-3 line, 2-3 part expressions. But I am not a big fan for it in much bigger parts (like that huge index calculation above). I always see them and think that I'd rather see a loop over an array of values, or split into many smaller expressions.

#299Hi Liam! I'm your occasional HN neighbour I live currently just below your post :) (Show HN: A smarthome dashboard concept using zircle-ui).
It's a pleasure to see the impressive reception that your post is having. Also I want to join all the voices of congratulations you have received for your work at your age! Keep doing this kind of things, It is very inspiring for all!

Watching your video was like watching Bob Ross help a wine and paint class. Well done.
