Well yes, to your knowledge Rosenstein... Asana really isn’t that great. It offers no framework and very little structure in which to organise tasks.

I’ve worked at two companies that used Asana and it was a major source of frustration at both.

I don’t think I’ve ever found a chair that I felt completely comfortable in. I like to sit upright and feel alert and most chairs seem to be made for relaxing. I’ve always wondered if it’s just me or not, and have often thought about designing a chair but realistically I don’t have the skills :(

Does anyone have a good solution to stopping ones glasses from steaming up while wearing a mask? I enjoy being able to see when I’m walking in public

> “ There are also legendary venues where obviously they were 'in the know'.”

Could you elaborate on this?

Typescript - defining interfaces before doing any work is like visual planning. Adding it to old projects highlights a lot of unknown issues.

VSCode - right click a keyword > go to definition made me more comfortable navigating code written by other people.

How do you use vscode on your iPad Pro?

“They use Chromium and JavaScript for the Dragon 2 flight interface.“

This is the most interesting part for me being a web dev! How likely do you think this is?

If I understand correctly you can still do that, just the underlying component will be adding/removing a CSS class instead of injecting the actual styles. I usually use the classnames library to help with this but obviously not a requirement (https://www.npmjs.com/package/circular-dependency-plugin) I find it's also easier to test for the presence of css classnames based on the provided props than it is to test for the presence of mutiple style rules.

The whole CSS in JS thing is so backwards. I use React a lot and I love it, but styles stay in a css file structured using BEM. It works.

This feels a bit confusing to me (what should I be searching for?) and it does appear to require a signup to access any of the content:

I recently repaired the logic board on my 2013 MacBook Air by baking it in the oven to reflow the solder. I thought I was being trolled when I first came across the advice on a forum but it worked! However the fix only lasted around 2 weeks before the issue came back and the laptop wouldn’t turn on anymore. Now I’m probably going to buy a second hand logic board off eBay and swap it out, they look to be selling for around £100

Geocities, and all of my friends at school having their own website they’d update at lunchtime in the school library!

Thanks for helping me decide what to do today on my birthday, during lockdown. Board games!

Thanks! I remember discovering this in my college graphics class and showing everyone. We thought Apple were so cool :D

I have an (unpopular) iOS app that consumes the Dark Sky API. Recently it hit number 7 in the weather category, despite only having had 2 downloads in the previous 23 days. I thought that was rather peculiar at the time and wondered if Apple had intervened somehow, for some reason I couldn't understand.

Your mobile app looks really well done

Wow I never thought about this

I think you should tie the licence to major versions, and give people confidence that they will still receive updates for bug fixes and patches. But they’ll have to purchase a licence to get new features.

It's not his only skill, but you have to admit he's pretty good at it. Just look at his twitter account.

Migrating from JavaScript to Typescript and declaring interfaces for classes and data structures forced me to put more thought into each piece before I start implementing. Now I’ve cleaned up a lot of old code I didn’t have much visibility over thanks to the compiler warnings.

Good point. Curious, does the server stop execution if you cancel a request? Or does the browser just discard the response when it receives it?

The immensely useful lodash library comes with a debounce utility you can use for this.

https://lodash.com/docs/4.17.15#debounce

import { debounce } from 'lodash';

input.addEventListener('keyup', debounce(handleInputChange, 1000));

It means "Your task is now complete, docile citizen. You may continue with your day."

The design of the website impressed me the most. Also the funnies.

Would nationalising the broadband provider remove a barrier to increased surveillance?

The design of your website blew me away. It’s brilliant.

I got this email too

This seems more likely to be a marketing move to me than a covert request for AI training data. They’re struggling with engagement, so they seeded the 10 Year Challenge causing users to invoke the powerful emotion of nostalgia, made easy thanks to Facebook keeping all of your photos safe ;)

Isn’t the issue to do with consumption of gasoline rather than production? Burning carbon based fuels releases large amounts of carbon, no matter how you’ve produced it
