They have competition. Dollar tree, one of walmarts biggest competitors in many areas has a similarly high percentage of their workforce on food stamps.

> marginally funny

Yeah, my bar is pretty low for this.

Replacing millennials with snake people is especially funny in this article.

I wonder if millennials are more likely to replace words with other words using browser plugins.

The author recommends grabbing jQuery where necessary and I'd have to disagree. Instead they could look into ngOnChanges in the component lifecycle or using a different ChangeDetectionStrategy on the component. But maybe jquery is the better option for their use case.

We're using it for an internal app at walmartlabs and its been great coming from angular 1. Working with angular-cli today is very stable and fully featured. I published a quick test module yesterday using angular-cli https://scttcper.github.io/ng2-adsense/ after gzip its small even with all of bootstrap v4's css included. It sounds like with ahead of time compilation we could see even faster first paint times combined with lazy loading of routes and modules it should be very fast even without using angular universal.

Typescript is good, but I don't like tslint. I'm excited to see if eslint support for typescript goes anywhere: https://github.com/eslint/typescript-eslint-parser

I use karabiner to fix a chattering spacebar on a way to expensive keyboard to have a chattering spacebar.

Works great! saved my day.

You can renew before the expiration and you can register multiple years at a time.

Been waiting for promises: Unhandled rejections now emit a process warning after the first tick. I'm not sure how useful the warning is though.

Now using node v6.6.0 (npm v3.10.3)

$ node

> Promise.reject()

Promise { <rejected> undefined }

> (node:85928) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 1): undefined

There's a few applications that do this from producers like O&O and Spybot.

A mixed list of some of them can downloaded from http://www.majorgeeks.com/mg/sortname/windows_10_fixes.html

I like http://metricsgraphicsjs.org/examples.htm which is built on d3

I use it to back up a linux server to amazon drive via a cron job. I don't think amazon drive even supports linux. Also if I decide to use backblaze or dropbox in the future its the same command to sync the files.

I assume paypal when i see an email.

Agreed, I've seen a few people like that, TJ just became memorable.

We have an ongoing joke at our office where we ask if TJ wrote it. It being a package we're adding to our project. Was true more often in the past, but its still funny.

Looks like angular 1 with angular material. Works very smoothly here. Neat.

Frontend builds sometimes destroy the dist folder and rebuild all assets. Hash will result in the same name if it is unchanged.

We had some open positions here at walmart.com in Sunnyvale for manager type roles. A high percentage were from yahoo.

Needless to say my new manager is from yahoo.

Using virtualenvwrapper and the plugin included with oh my zsh virtualenviroments are easy, but it is good to know what's happening.

I hope the jobs stay here. I worked in an IT call center during my time in college in Northern California. I was hourly, but everyone earned around 45-55k which is way cheaper than what they were paying for the same employee in the Bay Area. We were able to drive down for on site training and we all speak English without accents. Really made me believe more companies need to try outsourcing to college towns and rural cities.

You can usually access all the same dumps they use at your favorite shady website. The smaller ones are on pastebin too.

Mine all have emoji in the subject line. which for some reason gmail animates. It's all in the spam folder, but i still check the spam folder from time to time.

I rented over there after college. I think working class is accurate. Lots of work trucks parked in the street, caltrain in the backyard and families with not a lot of income.

Another article from Mercury News.

Apex from @TJ is similar https://github.com/apex/apex

If the people in Kansas were doing my job they'd get paid the same because they wouldn't be in Kansas.

Yes, see you get it.

Tax rate needs to be area dependent. 150k in the bay area isn't the same as 150k even just a few hours in any direction. I don't know how they'd implement city based tax rates, but I'm never going to own a house here if I keep getting taxed 50% and more.

Sanders calculator says I'd be paying more.

Thanks for the link. They really boiled itunes down to the core product. Skipping through songs multiple times finally works quickly. I don't know how itunes lags with multiple song skips on an SSD.

They use the same image set on their other popular image library http://fengyuanchen.github.io/cropper/

I find no issue with it and had it open at work. Emma watson is slightly older than myself maybe that's why.

Had a family friend sell a house 5-6 min from the future spaceship for 1.2 million. It's a tiny box and they had 8 offers over their 800k asking price on the first weekend. The highest bidder was quoted saying "It's close to work(apple)". That area is already expensive for the schools.

I feel like many angular users are using bower and react is more likely to be used in a npm context.
