This is so old and rarely works.

I kinda wish that there was a simple way to quickly see if a paper has been peer reviewed. Findings like these are interesting observations at best until they've been replicated and controlled by independent parties... Still an interesting study. :)

Wow.. feels like a legendary player is retiring .. Thank you for changing the game Firebug. #hallOfFame

Something just feels inherently broken when the act of just doing the job isn't the same practice (training) necessary to interview for that same job. Why should I have to learn to "crack the coding interview"? I'm not trying to trick teams into thinking than I better than I am or know more than i actually know because I spend the last few days memorizing a few algorithms I never use.

I'm certainly not saying that teams don't take into account a candidates experience, OS code or his/her ability to discuss complex, role relevant, topics in great detail -- i'm just saying that no matter how high you rank in all these other areas, at most companies (including mines), it really doesn't matter if you can't reverse a linked list on the spot ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

I just tend to believe that solving algorithms (especially under pressure) is a specific skill just like everything else, not a general test of programing "ability" -- so unless the job requires that you write algorithms every day then we should broaden the traits that we test for. That said, having interviewed a lot of candidates myself, it is truly difficult to consistently identify good well rounded candidates.

That's awesome.. but when you look at the numbers that actually matter on a macro level Texas ranks 44th. #notThrowingShadeJustFacts

Regardless, we got a lot of work to do as a nation :-/

Probably.. but at this point it's really not just about the emissions... it's now also about economics. Renewable energy is set to be a massive industry -- worth trillions and create millions of jobs globally. No state should want to be left behind.

if ur in tech.. I've heard great things about Chiang Mai and they digital nomad scene.

Oh it's already happening...Just listen to Emmanuel Macron's english statement that just aired a few seconds ago.. he literally just issued an open invitation to all U.S scientist and innovators to "come to France" where he's basically guaranteeing them support.

Wow.. what a HUGE missed opportunity for the United States to not only lead on this issue but to dictate the economic terms of the creation of an industry that could rival that of the Oil industry at its peak when it's all said and done. China recently scheduled a meeting world leaders in which i'm sure they will take the lead. #shame

The power and influence of monopolies are a direct threat to democracy. This is just another example.

Simplify. Simplify. Simplify.

I'm actually a huge fan of spaced repetition. Kinda mad I didn't know this about the brain back in college. I now use this interval method paired with Deliberate Practice for everything -- even working on an app that mirrors my current workflow.

Database Error - "We wasn't readyyyyy :("

Yup.. the social and economic cost of this futile war is insane.. This talk really helped me realize how wrong we've been about this issue: https://www.ted.com/talks/ethan_nadelmann_why_we_need_to_end...

Agreed. But I think that the way you combat negative harmful speech is with more speech.

I agree. The only reason I say "real" is to make the distinction between publicly stated opinions, feelings, tweets etc. and journalism. Journalism is really the painstaking gathering of information (usually from multiple sources) for every story you write. Among many other things it's also necessary to make clear distinctions between the facts of the evidence and a particular journalists conclusions/opinions reached based on this evidence.

And yes you are correct in saying that this should in no way should prevent or limit people from speaking their minds and stating their opinions publicly.

This is why real journalist need to be protected regardless where you stand on the issues. It's a pillar of democracy for a very important reason.

Science doesn't play politics. Miami is already flooding! Tic Toc Tic Toc

I've been an early adopter of react native for a long time.. and this was exactly my experience... it's very demoralizing and why i switched to exponent and try as hard as possible to do all I can with just JS (without detaching project form expo).

So far it's been amazing!

+1 For React native support! In fact emailed tech support about just yesterday. Got a really quick response in which they essentially said -- "....We're exploring potential solutions, but I can't share any details or timelines at this time."

I'm optimistic. :)

"Americans have combined human ingenuity, a market system, a tide of talented and ambitious immigrants, and the rule of law to deliver abundance beyond any dreams of our forefathers." - W. Buffet

This is what happens when you ignore the incentives. I think forcing professionals in any field to "just be moral" -- "just do the right thing" -- "just ignore the inverse financial incentive"... I think this expectation is in itself immoral; human will power has its limitations and just like everything else, we are very good a justify immoral behavior when being moral contradicts our short term needs.

Regulation is indeed complicated and imperfect.. but the solution isn't a simple one -- its certainly not complete deregulation.

Thank you. *thought i was going crazy

This is actually pretty impressive for a ad company to take steps that are overwhelmingly better from a UX perspective but also directly target online ad revenue models. #bold #impressive #hardProblems #thumbsUP

react native

Simple. Brilliant.

Personally I don't think they should be locked to begin with. We've already signed an agreement in which i've agreed to terms which include making payments until the cost of the device is paid. Given that contract there should be no reason why I can't use the device as I please so long as I haven't violated those terms.

People who travel with a locked phone know how useless it is. No one is stupid enough to want pay the ridiculous roaming rates. Locked phone prevents you from using a local service during your stay! #thisNeedsToChange

just a wrapper for requestAnimationFrame.. useful.. but not game changing
