I'm an engineer here, so feel free to DM me with questions.

You have to install a separate completely unrelated (from the users' perspective) application to run an application written with this? that seems bad.

I wasn't aware of keybase before seeing this. I really like this extension and keybase. Now I'm curious as to how difficult it might be to get my work to switch from slack.

At very least, give the images titles, so when you hover you get a nice tooltip. Also, give them alts so I can still tell which is which if I'm using a browser without images.

anecdotal, but when I was in grade school (in the US) I was taught that it was a MLA rule to use two spaces after a period. I had teachers that deducted points from a paper if the extra spaces were missing.

You can use Redux with Vue as well, it isn't just restricted to React

The ability to apply styles to a range within a string was a pleasant surprise. well built.

On the topic of "Social Network for Children":

I worked for a while on something like this, although it was more of "Linkedin for Children". It's stempremier.com. Our big idea was that there are tons of kids being recruited (sometimes for somewhat early ages) for college and professional sports. However, there aren't a huge number of kids being recruited who aren't talented athletes. An example is a kid who doesn't necessarily have stellar grades, but loves the outdoor and possibly has an interest in electronics. These students are very sought after by telecom companies as linemen, but it is exceptionally difficult to make the connection.

One of the big obstacles we ran into was how to monetize. While I was there, our approach was to have schools pay for per user licenses for students. It was a hard sell.

I think there is potential if an app like this aims to help kids pursue a quality education and find what they are passionate about. I however, am skeptical about a kind of facebook just for kids that would likely seek to exploit the kids to sell their data to advertisers and would be at best a detractor from a child's education.

I don't know how long ago this was, but if it was within the last 30 days (I think) you can probably file an A-to-Z Guarantee claim and get an immediate Amazon gift card credit added to your account.

I did this recently with an item I ordered. I paid extra for the non-prime eligible 2nd day shipping. It didn't arrive until after 6 days. I filed a claim, and without having to wait for the claim process, Amazon immediately gave me the option to close the claim and receive a gift card for the amount I paid without returning the item.

NaN is meant to represent a non-sensical mathematical operation (like divide by 0). One non-sensical mathematical operation is not the same as some other non-sensical mathematical operation (1/0 !== Infinity/Infinity)

Probably right, and I do intend on seeing it in person when it gets to SC. Sadly, not everyone will have that opportunity.

Yeah, the second question is really important. What good is all the prep if you don't have an actual speaking engagement arranged?

And, you don't necessarily have to be "famous". One can keep an eye on conferences or other gatherings at which one would be interested in speaking. When they announce request for proposals, submit one. Spend a few weeks working on the request and make sure it is really well thought out and interesting.

when you get an opportunity to speak, take it (no matter how small). Speaking is a good way to build up that "fame" rather than the other way around.

I didn't expect this to get so many points. I'll add a bit more substance:

The ability to base your own work off of others' is one of the most important features of github. It is probably also a feature that probably wouldn't necessarily be understood by somebody not in technology or not familiar with how git works.

If this was my product, I would have named it it "Fork". Putting that feature front and center and making it really obvious that it is the stand out feature of the app, IMO, would help people to get right away why what you've built is so awesome. Even if they don't know what the heck github is.

Should have the fork icon be an actual fork rather than the github icon.

I spend a lot of time in clients' ios apps which were developed by other contractors long ago and then I'm asked to fix bugs and add new features. I think this would help me save a lot of time. Since it already supports C/C++ would objective-c support be relatively straightforward to add? Not sure if there are many others who would like to see it, but I know I would definitely appreciate it.

Same.

for some strange reason the 'Fira Mono' google font is displaying all &s as |s. Anyone else seeing this? Cool book though, I'm going to work through it this weekend.

Question: this guide says that quicksort, for example, has a best case of O(nlog(n)) and a worst case of O(n^2). Then goes on to explain that Big O is used to describe worst case where Big Ω Omega is used to describe the lower bound (best case?). Then why is it that the guide describes both the best and worst case for these algorithms as "O()". Isn't this wrong?

anyone else find it at all ironic that the <em>least</em> common word in JS appears to be "validate"?

There is an ordered list on the page. If you're on a phone you can tap "show list" on the bottom.

And I suppose that's also the origin of measuring speed in "knots" (?)

I have been doing web dev and iOS dev a little more than 4 years. I have also done game dev in my free time and have published two of my own games for iOS. I am interested, however, in doing more low-level programming or more serious game development and have been teaching myself c++ for about the last year. I have a BS in CS and am working (online) on a MS in Health Informatics.

how about npm?

This is a nice challenge to start the morning.

However, on mobile the input loses focus after each individual character typed which is quite frustrating.
