ibero··on What I wish I knew about React
agreed. using ember has been instrumental in getting my projects up and running quickly, and then, maintaining them as they grow from mvp to enterprise level.
ibero··on Instagram no longer allows people without an account to view photos on computers
operative word: i.
ibero··on Yelp lays off 1000, furloughs 1100
i just watched the video and it seems more like the story of an ex-employee being upset at the narrator for being involved in their termination (due to arguably bad judgement).

i don't see what yelp had to do with it.

ibero··on Startups are pummeled in the ‘great unwinding’
i been impressed with guatemala’s overall speed and depth. they were on top of the ball in latin america by weeks, to the initial derision of many countries.
ibero··on MirageJS: An API mocking library for frontend development
Been using the original Mirage project on an Ember app for years (testing and fake offline demos functionality), and now this iteration takes it over the top. I can't recommend it enough.
ibero··on SoftBank is still writing big checks
The headline for the article is written by an American publication and American based author.
ibero··on Goldman faces probe after entrepreneur slams Apple Card algorithm in tweets
there are a lot of variables that go into determining a credit score.

in this particular case, i could imagine that in his role as partner as Basecamp there is a longer "credit trail" attributed to him just from a business operational standpoint beyond his joint family tax filing. that alone could explain the discrepancy between him and his wife beyond sexism.

ibero··on Who Killed the Scrollbar?
For one, I remember a Google talk where they mentioned how the completion rate of e-books were higher than physical ones. One of the theories which stuck with me was that the reader not being aware of the end of the book could have been* a driver.
ibero··on Who Killed the Scrollbar?
You got me. Readers "should not have agency in their consumption of said streams." Clearly that was the point of my question posing the alternative. You nailed it.
ibero··on Who Killed the Scrollbar?
This is a pretty fluff piece. There isn't really much explored here.

The only interesting idea I can write out is that the author says that knowing the length/size of an article/book is intrinsically good. I do wonder if that is necessarily true.

Maybe one can argue that knowing the length of a written word has resulted in less people engaging?

ibero··on WeWork's Adam Neumann offered package worth up to $1.7B to step down from board
I think this is how it has to be seen, not as an individual investment but as a strategy to save face for the whole Softbank portfolio.

It is better to dump 5 billion into WeWork to move it from the "sure fire bankruptcy today" category into the "questionably over-investment with 18 month runway" category. Doing this keeps pressure off the entire investment portfolio now at a critical time when they are looking to raise funds for the new Vision Fund.

Also, there seems to be a bit of helping out JP Morgan as well. The article goes out of its way to link this cash infusion to helping repay JP Morgan credit line for Neumann. If nothing else, the article helps calm people/investors that JP Morgan wont be left holding the bag on that.

ibero··on Apple Factory Thefts: Secret Tunnels, Hidden Crawl Spaces
Meanwhile, Apple’s suppliers are forbidden from referring to Apple by name or its project code names anywhere in buildings. Suppliers must reimburse Apple for investigations and often must pay penalties when leaks are traced back to them. - article
ibero··on Slack – Degraded service affecting multiple features
The commenter above said they had to "solve live production problems", how exactly would "pre-defined tasks" help them?
ibero··on Apple was warned about the FaceTime eavesdropping bug last week
Reading that website you provided, the mother was correct to hit up twitter as they suggest that "Customers" contact Apple Support. Their twitter is an official channel to that end.

The only area in that document she would have followed to reach out Apple's security contact is under the heading of "Security and privacy researchers", of which I am doubting she thought herself or her 14 year old son as.

ibero··on Interactive example of how Facebook leaked access tokens
The url is incorrect above, it should be https://history.adversary.io/missions/facebook, the above url includes the "/birthday" which causes the 400
ibero··on Tesla’s Dangerous Sprint into the Future
It is comments like these that exasperate me.

As one Tesla executive involved in its design told me, the goal here was not only to minimize the movement of materials like lithium and cobalt but also to shorten the path of every molecule that moves through the plant. “Because the further a molecule needs to travel,” he said, “the more cost gets added into it. We actually think of it in terms of molecular distance.”

It's things like these, where obvious truths are packaged as some sort of insight that really get my goat.

ibero··on FaceID Security [pdf]
correct, the 'Find My iPhone' app can lock the phone in what they call "Lost Mode."

ibero··on Learn Node.js: A free interactive course for Node beginners
that is a popular saying.
ibero··on Hampton Creek Ran Undercover Project to Buy Up Its Own Vegan Mayo
what you are saying is known as the "fallacy of relative privation." yes, it's not as bad as another imaginary company's potential trespass, but that's neither here nor there.
ibero··on Apple Taps Bob Mansfield to Oversee Car Project
i find it interesting that the project is described as the "autonomous, electric-vehicle initiative." isn't there a compelling enough productin the electric vehicle aspect, without the autonomous piece as well?

or does apple believe that the "autonomous" component is the real stand out feature?

ibero··on Uber Has Been Sued 46 Times in the Past Six Months
This is blogspam, all the information comes from the original reporting by The Mercury News article: http://www.mercurynews.com/business/ci_30091649/uber-faces-a...
ibero··on Google Fonts Redesigned
this is an update i didn't know i wanted. so many great little UX improvements to my workflow.

an interesting aside, they now have the ability to toggle the background (and font color). the presets are (black on white, white on black) interestingly, one of the presets is black on yellow. i didn't realize this was such a a popular of a text/bg combination.

ibero··on Online ambient atmosphere generator for roleplay games
i agree. in fact, it's almost an identical clone.

the only distinguishing feature is the submission title suggesting a use case for "roleplay"

ibero··on Why Don't People Manage Debt Better?
there are a lot of small near-practical applications, but it all really revolves around trying to be cognizant that our initial impressions/estimates vary wildly and are biased.

The book spends the entire time giving you countless examples to hammer the point home.

My favorite example from the book (via wikipedia)

Linda is 31 years old, single, outspoken, and very bright. She majored in philosophy. As a student, she was deeply concerned with issues of discrimination and social justice, and also participated in anti-nuclear demonstrations.

Which is more probable?

a) Linda is a bank teller.

b) Linda is a bank teller and is active in the feminist movement.

This is basically an ad.
ibero··on Angular 2.0 Website
their about page is broken, cutting off text of the bio at almost all screen sizes.

there is a weird "rawgit traffic error" banner across the site.

ibero··on Why work in Arizona?
As a hispanic developer on an H1-B, I didn't attend to JSConf last year with my team out of the feeling of contempt I get from the immigration policies of that state.
