Which one is your personal favorite?

~20% of my shop's jobs came from LinkedIn 2018. All those jobs landed by me surfing on the couch watching Netflix (senior dev in Sweden).

But I use it as hunting grounds. Can't stand how people portray themselves on LinkedIn - so much bullshit going on.

From the frontend, you should try to master Chrome DevTools (or other tools if for some reason Chrome isn't ok with you).

There's pretty much everything you need in there:

- Emulate devices for design and testing

- Track network traffic

- Step by step debugging out of the box

- Performance diagnostics

- Inspection of the DOM tree with real-time replacement of CSS and HTML for UI development and debugging

- Plugins for React and other frameworks

Hi, it looks sweet and easy to read, but what are actual use cases? For example, how would this pair with a React app? Is this supposed to be used as a a stand alone lib?

I have not really grasped why state machines are a big deal. (If it is)

Thanks and congrats for hitting the first page!

From what I found when I was reading up on it the different support subs seemed to be really good at modding. What are your reasons for claiming this?

I support online groups, however I'd prefer staying anonymous which simply isn't possible without faking your account on FB.

Reddit provides similar functionality and let's you stay anon. There's subreddits for pretty much any situation: alcohol abuse, drug abuse, kids growing up with narcissistic parents, spouses living in sexless relationships, etc etc. I did some research into the topic after reading this: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2016/01...

Just Google your specific situation and Reddit will probably have a support sub.

No, you did not read that correctly. What has happened to HN? Suddenly there's trolls everywhere.

You cut out the context. It wasn't "do bullshit", but "Do bullshit padding around your entire story."

That is pretty much every company out there. Company leaders revise their history to make them more attractive, come up with visions in hindsight and add ethic concerns etc.

OP did not say what you claim he/she did.

I make decent pay each month, and when the money shows up on my account, I go "sweet" for 1 second then get back to normal. I once withdrew my whole salary in cash, and wow, the relationship to money is quite different.

I didn't spend as much. I felt insanely rich. And I had bucks for the buskers and homeless.

Digital money isn't money. It's just Numbers with no relationship to reality to me (and many others).

That they don't share shadow data on request is already breaking the GDPR.

Even if they would get some lawyerish twist on it, sometimes grey scales isn't needed. Just give me my effing data - if you have it you have it.

It's a bit of FB meta-theme on HN right now, and I wrote something similar before in another comment, but I really wish we could have some whistleblowing considering the shadow data.

They're often filled with dark patterns too. I have to dig about seven pages in to turn of tracking to third parties in some of these popups.

Might be a difference with me being a European visitor though?

Whistleblowing would be a good middle-ground here. Also, I don't think sabotage would be as efficient since FB would just restore everything in an instant.

The problem with whistleblowing is that the consequences need to be more direct and actually leave a dent. As it is right now, FB can absorb pretty much any fines they're hit with.

Don't know why you're being downvoted. I had the same experience reading through Karax GitHub. I might be spoiled by other docs.

> - the guy who created it will always tell you how he feels

What does this mean?

Yes, I'd say so.

This is a bit out of touch with reality. People generally care a lot of what others think of them.

Personally I can't even grasp as how one can think that 99.99% of people doesn't matter. They most certainly do to me. Why would I not care about "them"? I believe seeing others as a waste of time is probably not doing yourself or anyone else any good.

This isn't to say I base my self-worth on what others believe to be true about me, but staying open to their perception makes it easier for self-growth. I get more input and can evaluate it and see if it's something that I should implement in myself or not.

I'm a runner since about 5-6 years. This is really good advice.

New studies also show direct relation between running and having reduced stress levels and having antidepressant effects.

This is a free open source alternative, the pro version is just a cloudbased PaaS based on the same code.

I came here to post something similar. The re-re-re-invention of the wheel is getting tiring. I'm having a hard time as seeing this as progress.

I live my life by this quote. The Swedish version even rhymes and sound charming. It's a great mindset for trying new things and exploring new ideas, which would have been blocked by bureaucracy if approval were needed.

Ok, hope you didn't interpret it as I was judgemental of parenting. If so, I apologize.

I think one of the most important questions here that's missing is this:

Should a 6 year old really be learning development/programming if they haven't shown interest?

I have kids at about 6yo and really, I can't see any positive effects it would have if I stick them in front of a computer. Maybe I'm just a hippie dev, but I believe focus should be put on happiness, play, creativity and logical thinking adapted to the children. Kids stuck in front of computers will lose many of social skills needed to get ahead in life.

I'm born in the 80's and I started becoming interested in computers at around age 12-13. I now run a successful company in software dev and my role is full stack dev.

It's my personal opinion, and you're her father, but maybe you should put off trying to teach her Scratch at this young age. Focus on everything she does beautifully instead.

No kid can be a developer at age six. Nat Friedman is spinning to get him positioned as a part of the GitHub audience.

> How many times have you been asked to put in your credit card information for a free trial or version of something?

I just paid Pingdom $100 since my trial was done. Didn't need to confirm, the card was drawn since I added it on registration.

Not having to pay for private is the reason we chose Bitbucket back in the days.

Thanks for the clarification!

> Over the next few weeks, Smart Compose will appear in the new Gmail for consumers, and will be made available for G Suite customers in the workplace in the coming months.

Weird to roll out to free consumers first. What's the reasoning behind this?

You might not need one, but I do. I've got a cofounder now, which upped my game immediately as soon as we chose to partner up. The support, the splitting of responsibilities and just being able to relax a bit is worth a lot. I've almost doubled my revenue per head since partnering.

Was a firm believer in Angular when it was version 2, made the switch to React before Angular version 4. Best choice I've done for productivity.

No, I think I was a bit unclear. The guy obviously knew what he was doing, and had setup projects in Node. For me to come in and tell him how require() works would be insulting.

No missed opportunity, I pivoted the deal after turning down the first.

I'm mid-thirties and was recently asked to teach a 50 yo best practices for development in Node. And not like Node specific patterns, but more like how to handle http requests. I'm pretty sure that guy is way above my skill set - he's smart and he has 15 years of work experience on me. I turned the offer down since I would have looked like a fool, like a kid teaching an adult how to drive.

The age bias is real.
