They said they ask a question analogous to asking about founding Tesla, not that actual question. They are just using that as an example to not state the actual question they ask.

I don't think I've ever powered a computer down completely outside of troubleshooting issues or restarting for updates since the 90s.

This is awesome. I listen to a video game history podcast with the founder of the video game history foundation, https://gamehistory.org/ , and the one thing he constantly brings up is to send him any and every person in the game industry with fun stories, weird bits and bobs of prototypes, and anything in between. If you've got the time I know that dude would love to pick your brain!

From a bit of a ways into the article

"Ahn says she would like to see penalties for parents who make unfounded accusations against teachers or practical measures put in place so that mandated changes can be adopted in classrooms, such as removing a disruptive student elsewhere to allow teaching to continue."

So, it seems like they don't even have the power to make a student leave their classroom without fear of retaliation at the moment.

Tangent: 4?! My son is 2 and a half and we have just gotten to the point where he will even pay attention to a tv for more than 10 minutes (and only for peppa pig of all things).

I'm really thought it was further away than that for any sort of gaming or real computer use, but I have no gauge from growing up in a house without anything but a tv till I was almost in middle school.

I'm not sure if the popularity increase is angular getting more popular, or front end development getting more popular.

Vue has a similar track over the last year https://www.npmjs.com/package/vue

React is gaining even more quickly https://www.npmjs.com/package/react

And for a counter observation I saw lines out of nail/hair salons and bars in Atlanta the day Kemp dropped shelter in place at the beginning of May. I'd say I see 1 in 8 people wearing a mask anywhere that doesn't explicitly require it, and then people mostly wearing them improperly otherwise.

I haven't read this, but I know quite a few people who recommend this book by John Duckett http://www.htmlandcssbook.com/

These are resources I used to learn grid and flexbox. http://cssgridgarden.com/ http://flexboxfroggy.com/

The site I inevitably have open looking some how to do something with css https://css-tricks.com/

I personally love this trend. It's one of the first sites I've been on in a while that I didn't have to bump up everything to a readable size.

Is there something similar to this for someone without a bachelors degree?

Every company I've worked at will not allow me to leave my laptop at the office. They all claim it's something about the office not being safe from theft in some way or another. My bet is it's just a lot easier to get people to be constantly connected if they have their work laptop with them at all times.

Not a ban on annual subscriptions, but I need to show proof of completion of a course to get the reimbursement for it. So if I bought pluralsight now I'd have to make sure I complete a course by Feb 2nd and show proof completion to get them to approve it to take out of the 2019 budget. If I submit proof on Feb 3rd they'll take it out of the 2020 budget.

They have to happen by that Feb 2nd deadline. After Feb 2nd I get the 2020 budget that I can use to go to conferences with though!

Yeah, this is a bit more strict than I'm use to with a growth fund. Like I said, I couldn't buy a book on elixir since it doesn't relate to the day to day, but I could buy things about professional growth or things like "How to Win Friends and Influence People" or programming books that aren't explicitly about a language we use, but tangentially related to the day to day (Swift/Kotlin book to help with mobile, even though we use React Native)

Here is the actual Microsoft release details page. https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/services/visual-studio-on...

Looking at places around me (Atlanta, Ga, USA), the second I filter down to < 750 sqft for any 1 bedroom apartment or condo on redfin.com I am left with about 5% of the search results. The average size seems to be about 900 sqft. Before buying a house most places I rented were also around that size, and my house 2200 sqft (204 sq m) with 3 bedrooms.

One of the things I am finding is the amount of project freedom and the amount of process and documentation are the inverse of anywhere else I've ever worked.

Most of my jobs have had very straight forward goals of what needs done next, with an endless backlog of already prioritized work. There has very rarely been much documentation around anything though.

This company is more vague high level goals that teams have the ability to figure out any work they want to do that furthers that goal, but there is a very high bar for documentation before, during, and after features are done. Even git commits have a very rigid structure to them!

Not sure what it’s being used for, but know that ublock origin for Firefox now has a portion of its code rewritten for performance reasons in wasm.

I feel like that would have happened this time if there were a viable alternative. I know if they kill the ability to opt out of the new redesign I will be looking a lot harder for one.

I definitely do. I live in Atlanta and regardless of weather I can't sleep all the way through the night if I don't at least have a comforter on the bed when I go to sleep.

Question for someone with experience with graphql. I have a data heavy react application I'm working on that would benefit from something like this, but almost every single component has the ability to refetch it's data individually. If you have all of these fragments being passed up to the single query being called, how do you handle a situation where you want the explicitness of refetching only one of those fragments, but getting it on in one initial call?

The only way I could see them doing it in a few weeks is swapping it out with something with a very similar api like inferno or preact.

I played way to much farmville around 2009 running a schools front desk! Thanks for that!

Out of curiosity what is your language of choice now days?

npm install npm@5 -g. Latest still points at 4.x currently.

I don't feel they are saying start with the data, before you even have an idea. More, "What data do we need, and how do we structure it for this problem?".

They don't load a routing solution with this, but the most used router (and my favorite) is React-Router [0]. To get basic routing setup takes less than an hour, and has great docs.

I like the idea, but I'm not really interested in learning java. I'll have to save this for later and see if it grows.

Would this make for a good way to get into aws/devops since it narrows the perspective of their services?

I have no experience with devops and want to learn to manage my applications directly (mostly use services like now or heroku currently), but looking at learning aws always seemed intimidating with the 600 different services they run.

I think that depends on how well the transportation is in the city. Me and my wife would have no reason to have cars in New York City, but we lived in Atlanta for a few years and public transportation is not a viable option unless you are willing to take an hour or two to get anywhere not directly on one of the few train lines so transportation costs are less than $100 more for the gas to go into town from the burbs.

I have a 47 inch 1080p 120hz TCL with no smart capabilities that I've been extremely happy with over the last two years. Looking at models now they do seem to have a lot of smart tvs, but if you can find a non smart model I would recommend it.
