jczhang··on NYU Makes Tuition Free for All Medical Students
How do they have the money to do this, sustainably?
jczhang··on Serverless Docker Beta
Totally feel you on this one, especially when the purpose is to inform/teach. I found this extension that helps: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/play-the-gif/mchec...
jczhang··on Elon Musk’s Funding for Tesla Wasn’t So Secure
I just found out about this woman. She cray.
jczhang··on Uber Will Rent Scooters Through Its App in Partnership with Lime
Lime doesn't require you to pay in bundles. There have been some days where I've seen more Limes around than Birds.
jczhang··on Learn new technology through writing a tutorial about it
Not the writer or publisher's problem imo.
jczhang··on React Native at Airbnb
Repeating what someone else has said, React Native is not Electron.
jczhang··on Diablo devolved – magic behind the 1996 computer game
I mean the whole idea of heaven and hell fighting for power and that they are not supposed to have any physical influence, but the demons of hell sneak in anyways, not just by mental influence but physically as well. That's how the Diablo 1 story begins, with the corruption of the Archbishop (I remember way too much lol).
jczhang··on Diablo devolved – magic behind the 1996 computer game
The first Diablo manual had great background stories and mythology. When I watched Constantine for the first time, I realize it had the same setting as Diablo!
jczhang··on The end of India’s ‘IT miracle’?
i mean this is an obvious statement, if you've only worked with a group, then of course the most competent and least competent is within that group...
jczhang··on Productivity
"I think I am at least somewhat more productive than average.." oh come on, no need for false modesty here, I think we can all acknowledge that average is a pretty low bar, especially for someone in his position lol.
jczhang··on [dead]
Such a secret but he couldn't contain it and had to post it on his insta!
jczhang··on Ask HN: Great Product Managers to follow?
Hey, I'm also a software dev interested in transitioning to PM as well. As I understand it, you'll have to do it either internally, via an MBA, or have someone else maybe who is already a PM / senior PM help you get in. That's my thoughts anyways.
jczhang··on Bird has raised $100M for electric scooter sharing
So this is what I thought, but if it's enforced as much as needing helmet to ride a bike is enforced, then it's less of an issue.
jczhang··on How Rotten Tomatoes may have radically skewed the Oscars’ Best Picture race
fatuous, i like this word haha.
jczhang··on Show HN: Hearth – A Dropbox-like, IPFS-powered personal website publisher
IPFS
jczhang··on FastPhotoStyle from Nvidia
I assume you need a Nvidia card for this? Also has anyone tested it and seen how long it takes to render?
jczhang··on The U.S. will impose duties on solar equipment and washing machines made abroad
Why is it great for Tesla? Is the GF2 actually building solar panels? I thought SolarCity was buying them from Asia like everyone else?
jczhang··on SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy rocket sets up at Cape Canaveral ahead of launch
Does anyone know how they keep it NOT moving when doing a static fire of something like this?
jczhang··on Ask HN: Which TypeScript codebase should I study to get better?
How does one approach looking at a (large) codebase with intent to learn? Where do you begin?
jczhang··on Lessons from migrating a large codebase to React 16
"Why do I need to change from React.createClass to ES6 classes, from ESxx to Typescript or Flow, from React to Vue, from callbacks to Promises, from Flux to Redux, or from any idea to the next hyped idea?"

There are good reasons for those changes. As you are a full stack JS developer, I'd recommend you dig deeper and find out why. It might alleviate your frustration.

jczhang··on Charlie Munger – The Psychology of Human Misjudgment
Anyone have a more readable / cliff notes version?
jczhang··on Steve Wozniak announces tech education platform Woz U
If you read the article in your azcentral link, you'll see that Woz did announce Woz U himself.
jczhang··on What's New in Create React App
Got it, thanks for the explanation. Not sure what "bake" means either exactly but it seems to read like it fixes versioning or sets up specific configs / changes such that you are not tied to the update / release cycle of the larger app.
jczhang··on What's New in Create React App
What does to eject mean?
jczhang··on What's New in Create React App
What does "ejecting" mean?
jczhang··on Ask HN: For those programming 10+ years, what do you wish you knew 4 years in?
That's a luxury that many people probably don't have, as most people have to get things done under certain timelines.
jczhang··on Maru OS – A complete desktop experience on a smartphone
Support for Pixel anytime?
jczhang··on Switch Is Nintendo's 'Fastest Selling' System in History
by that logic, everyone should just get Wii U and Zelda instead of switch.
jczhang··on MBAs as CEOs
Ok so why not just take those classes online or something and save yourself the huge cost of MBA?
jczhang··on HTTPS on NYTimes.com
"Now you'll know that your news is coming from their servers, and nobody else is tampering with it."

I'm a HTTPS noob, can you explain how or why someone would tamper it on normal HTTP? Who would care to target me and what are the chances that NYT has been tampered with ever before?
