What we define as real is real in its consequences.

That % syntax is just completely unlike anything else I have seen in JS.

As a multi paradigm language, JS typically suffers from whatever programming style is on trend when these features are implemented. We are apparently on the other side of the pendulum now, but I can’t remember the last time I worked with a class and felt like that was right either.

> Lawyers may not be the most sympathetic victims and their need to be entertained may not be the most compelling of causes. But their plight, Mr. Greenberg said, should raise alarms about how the use of this technology could spread. Businesses, for instance, might turn people away based on their political ideology, comments they’d made online or whom they work for.

Feel like this is a pretty wild extrapolation that summarizes the core of this. I'm not a fan of the police state that we live in, but at the same time I do not feel a whole lot of empathy towards lawyers that are actively suing the venue? This article even outlines how this practice has been done in NYC for like a hundred years.

On the other hand, if this effort somehow succeeds and we have less facial recognition tech in the wild, props to them.

2/3 of these components are broken on iOS safari. I also see some questionable things happening in the hooks that might not make it past a review.

It's a good start, but definitely keep it up.

Ha — was just outside of this place. Sure enough, someone was actually on a call on this thing!

Lots of good ideas here but writing your own date picker — both suggested and pictured — is just a silly idea. As a front end dev you are in the business of making products, not managing leap years.

The way we build cities around the car in the USA is kind of a blight, so I can't help but be somewhat relieved to see that other people look at these Waymo cars, with all that they stand for, as worthy of ridicule.

Pretty unrelated, but reading this story reminded me of this one time I was traveling to Maine for a ski trip with a hippy girlfriend and some of her college friends. Her friends were pretty off beat people that were very into dumpster diving and really wanted to go dumpster diving at an industrial juice production facility along the way. Anyways, fast-forward to me in an actual dumpster pulling out crates of expired-ish juice. One of my girlfriend’s friends was like, “wait, don’t take this one — it has aspartame in it.” I just remember thinking like, I’m waist deep in a literal filthy dumpster right now, I am not sure I get to have any right to be choosy about what is/isn’t healthy!

The juice was pretty good though.

The for loop syntax was a bit of a turnoff, but the “cloak” functionality has me wanting to try this on my next small project.

Truly egregious history hijacking happening here

I always felt being enrolled in a community college was always a key differentiator for me as a candidate. Beyond being a stepping stone into a top 10 CS program for me, I feel like those lines on my resume communicate that I am just a super tenacious and scrappy person.

It is the highest ROI investment I have ever made in myself.

Hate to be dismissive, but who honestly wants to wear this nerd shit? A fashion disaster on par with Google glass. Can't wait til my sneakers are part of some botnet.

The touchstone of all humor is a really dumb person who thinks that they are smart.

This is flame bait.

Ceramics have different properties than plastic — terra cotta, for instance, wicks more moisture. I don’t disagree with you but it is a point to consider.

Water X times a week is generally not good advice, as many factors such as humidity and light can affect soil moisture. You will pretty much always need to get your hands in the top 1”-1 1/2” of soil to evaluate moisture.

Yeezy 350 v1/v2, never owned a pair but they were definitely extremely coveted when they released and have certainly made a lasting impact on public perception of Adidas as a brand, trimmer sneaker profiles, and men’s fashion.

Have been searching for this for a mighty long time! Could not remember the name of this series. Can’t wait to watch this over the weekend.

npm does not compile, it is just a package manager. That said, I understand your frustration.

Gonna have to disagree with Sabotage being included – Bill Ward looks iconic in those red pants!

Great read, thanks for sharing.

A couple years back I was admitted into a government rehab. At the time I was a fresh college grad, and I couldn’t help but feel that I was somehow smarter/better/more “upper class” than all of the other patients on the unit because of my upbringing. That is, even completely broke, strung out and institutionalized, I still felt as if I was somehow more “chosen” than anybody else. It took a lot of learning to realize that this attitude was a major part in what lead my drug addiction being unaddressed for so long that I wound up in such a gnarly place. That said, I am doing fine now, but I often think how the others I was with could possibly be doing.

Modern equivalent of how pop tracks were optimized for a 6 second ringtone in the mid-2000s.

I used to take some yoga classes where the series of beginner poses was the same every class. I was told that this was to keep people feeling as if they themselves were always a beginner — our shared revelation here really reminds me that there is tremendous value in sometimes questioning the “sure things”!

On point — I was getting some resume feedback earlier this week and was given some advice on how my resume should be written and formatted to pass an initial ATS scan. This is all well and good, generally, but I have no formal education background in CS/SWE, which I imagine would immediately disqualify me from any workplace that filters applications in an automated way. If anything, I’d imagine that trying to have the same micro-optimized resume that follows basic online advice may actually be detrimental here.

It’s tough as looking for a job is not super fun, so it’s tempting to try and find some magic bullet solution. I came to the conclusion that I’d rather try and present myself as honestly and effectively as I can and not take 99% of what I see regarding resumes to heart, and try and direct any interested people to my portfolio/work as soon as I can.

Also immediately thought of Jane Jacobs when I read this post, particularly the concept of "eyes on the street".

If you have the means to do so and live in the right climate — winter is approaching — plant a garden. It doesn't have to be anything large, I personally keep about 20-30 potted plants outside my door during the spring and summer.

This will do two things: A) Get you out on the block as you tend to your plants, where you can now serve as eyes on the street. B) Serve as a visual testament to people passing through your neighborhood that this is a place where people care about.

Could not agree more.

As someone who commutes primarily via bicycle, I've always been mystified by colleagues and friends who choose to drive to work in the densely populated northeastern city while cycling through center city is faster, more fun, better for your health, etc. There are obvious times when driving a car will make more sense, e.g. transporting delicate flowers, but for the average commuter it breaks down to the fact that the car is just somewhat sacred in our society. It is an important aspect of the American identity and our vision of success in this country, and so here we are, innovating around cars with technologies like self-driving rather than looking forwards to new potential paradigms of transportation.

This is just in regards to the average commuter, I'm sure that self-driving does have its place in like, moving 40' containers in low-density areas.
