Holy crap, "Gage claims that Tipping wound up with three broken ribs, a lacerated liver, head injuries, and a broken neck." Ohhh, they were bicycle training.

Sarcasm aside, it's insane that after this incident, it's being labeled as a "training accident" when it so obviously wasn't.

I have enjoyed writing HTML/CSS/JS (vanilla) apps on my personal projects and use React for large apps at work. When my apps get large, it gets harder to manage, whereas when using React, each component is contained, so I don't have to worry so much about what's going on around it. That's not a good description, but it's easier to built on top of a large React project, than it is on a large vanilla project.

Frameworks also establish a common way of doing things like tracking state. For example, in vanilla projects, one developer might implement it in a unique way that no one else understands. You want to work with code that works well with multiple developers on larger projects.

It's still fun and interesting using vanilla for personal projects. I built a bunch of apps with just a CSS framework and JS was vanilla. (my apps: https://lewdev.github.io)

Curious, how would a company buy properties at supposedly higher than market prices earn a profit? Do they just want to accumulate equity?

Create something and publish it.

For some reason, it helped me a lot. Also in my mid-30s.

You're probably pretty good at the things you know, just whip something you could easily do but useful and you'll get a lot of satisfaction.

I also think it's burn out. I personally struggled to learn React and perhaps had some burn out but persevered because I was building things on the side. It was fun and great distraction and motivator while struggling to learn React. I think I'm pretty good at it now but I felt like I was in a rut for a long time.

My Math Homework Generator. It's low risk since I'm hosting it on github and I work on it from time to time to create practice worksheets for my kids. I get a lot of visits from China and Taiwan. It's fun too.

Excellent comment!

The article points out "A delusion is created that progress is made." and I agree that consuming content should not be mistaken for progress, rather you should also actively act on the content you consume. Create something out of it.

Yes, thank you so much! I wanted to enjoy it and tried to power through without invert-y, but I just couldn't get used to it and stopped playing.

Why ban it? It's not the facial recognition that's the problem; the problem is that the justice system believes that it's enough to convict someone of a crime. It's hard to believe that prosecutors can be like, "The computer says it's you, so you're guilty." Especially when there's probably a known margin of error.

I don't think that's the problem. The problem is that the justice system believes that it's enough to convict someone of a crime.

Wow, thanks for sharing this!

Yup, it's why the NES beat out Atari. They had strict control over the quality of games published for their console and so everyone bought NESs over Ataris.

Absolutely. The iPhone is actually a "nice to have" utility. A $100 phone from Walmart will fulfill the "base-level necessities for modern life." The game console is an awesome analogy.

Instead of complaining to one company, why not start supporting existing alternative platforms and products that support their vision? Why not support open devices where developers and consumers will have freedom from exorbitant pricing?

"walled garden ethos" I like that. Apple is all about exclusivity and premium priced products. It seems like developers develop for them and consumers buy for them for that reason. But expecting Apple to be a free, fair, and open company, is really going against their business model.

Given what I've been reading in this thread, it seems like if some employers are going to think that you're going to lie, there's no point in sharing your salary. And the salary that should only matter is the one you'd accept to change companies.
