Myself and most people I know (early twenties) use what the banks give by default which is a "Debit Mastercard/Visa" which lets you shop online like a credit card, perform chargebacks, or pay in-store, but the money just comes out of your savings account like a debit card - not on credit (they get declined if your account is empty too AFAIK but haven't tested it ;P). Are these common overseas? I rarely see reference to it on here or Reddit which is presumably predominantly people from the US or Europe.

I struggled with this too. The password is too long, I had to make mine shorter

A word I saw it referred to as in a blogpost somewhere and makes complete sense is that "React is a runtime"

This is the same as most CSS-in-JS solutions though isn't it?You have a theme.js (that comes with a default) that confirms to the theme UI standard that is pretty much what your tailwind.config.js is. Then you can save variants (similar to @apply in Tailwind).

Quite a combo. Why Haskell and what have you done with it graphics-y by chance?

I keep getting ads on Youtube from some Malaysian guys telling me how they bought cheap Chinese stuff on Alibaba and sold it for like 10x the price on Amazon and how I can really easily get $200,000 USD per month if I follow their 'easy' course. I really wish all these dropshipping "entrepreneurs" would run each other into the ground.

Which video was it?

I'm no expert but another example of a non-monadic implementation would be OCaml's new algebraic effects as part of the Multicore project, right?

Yeah I'm in a similar position. None of the TailwindUI components have the logic built in, it's just the markup so you need to build the components yourself. I like the feel of Adobe Spectrum but it doesn't have exactly all the components that I want so I'd have to make my own components, and the styling looks somewhat complex to modify such that it doesn't look just exactly like theirs.

I'm looking into their react-aria and react-stately libraries which appear to just give you the hooks that power the UI components and then you can supply your own markup.

Tailwind has headless-ui coming out soon which appears to be very similar to the aforementioned two libraries so that may fill the void but it'd be nice to have a something now. At the moment I'm using Tailwind for mainly static informational sites rather than interactive UIs until I get around to making an internal library of components that I can style with tailwind css. At the end of the day it's basically just CSS anyway.

Yeah I caught myself almost doing something similar when I wanted to implement some internal tools with a React webapp and a backend server that I was going to write in Go because I wanted to learn Go and it seemed like it would have better performance, yada yada.

Then I came to the (obvious) realisation that the other guys have predominantly experience in JS/TS so it would be kind of irresponsible of me to force anyone else who wants to contribute to this now or in the future to have to do it in a new language, rather than the one that we use in our main project. Ended up going with Typescript and I think it was definitely the right choice. For production code you just gotta go with what A) works. B) the rest of the team is familiar with (or has a reasonable chance of learning enough to read/contribute)

I see lose instead of loose so often online

I got the Air and when I was compiling Nodejs to install it the chassis got really hot. I read a lot about it barely ever getting warm but I guess those reviews were a little exaggerated.

I've seen this on Reddit a fair bit too but there's this sort of anti "10x-er" attitude. It makes logical sense to me that if someone spends more time practising a skill, then they would be more proficient and thus worth paying more. Yet there's a lot of pushback against that thought process because it is biased or something. Obviously there's more to a candidate than purely 'coding' skill but I find it weird that a company would want to explicitly avoid an indicator of time spent honing skill X purely because it discredits other people. I guess in an idealistic world it makes sense but the real world never quite lives up to the ideals.

It's much lower hanging fruit than say developing an embedded hardware device that does something novel (and most likely more useful). Why not just aggregate some data about _other_ services and run machine learning.

It was a blogging platform when I last looked into it, now it seems to encompass blog, newsletters, and paid subscriptions to access premium content (like Patreon?) all in one.

Sometimes it gets thrown out of proportion but I speak Japanese and talk with guys and gals there who are currently freelance with previous experience in a company. Japan work situation is just that weird. I wouldn't be surprised if most people who WFH would end up having their PC being monitored. The ironic thing is a lot of people just look busy without doing that much work because they have to stay until the boss leaves meaning they're there for hours. Of my main friends 100% of them have had experience regularly having to stay to 8pm

Same thing happens with Discords I'm in. They just add more and more channels and it becomes a chore to scroll and navigate to the one I want (just my opinion) let alone the reduced engagement in each channel (anecdotal evidence)

I think this is partly why older folks often say something along the lines of "you young people are so /good/ at technology". We've had so much exposure that we've built up a mental model of how even non-intuitive / hard to discover things should work. Sometimes when I update my phone after a number of years or try and operate someone else's phone when they ask for me to "fix this problem" it's hard because of that exact problem, I don't know where or how to access the thing I want.

But it's not all bad; you can't put heaps of buttons on a mobile interface because of the limited screen size and lack of precision with pressing them, so some amount of 'magic' and hiding is necessary imo.

Did you read the article? It quotes a Twitter conversation where a user asks for specifically white male experiences about creating a game studio / prototype. In general the answers basically amount to "I worked extremely hard, like 75hr weeks. Worked full time job whilst doing it; took multiple years before things started to work out" and then the article again tries to shoehorn the white male narrative to invalidate the answers. "other job / parents covering tuition / lack of dependents to support" are hardly exclusive to one gender or skin colour.

I'd never really thought about a tool like this but it looks really nice. Shame you had to spin it down but that's life I guess.

These 'consultants' probably get paid more than me for doing busywork of no use whatsoever.

If you want a C-style syntax then ReasonML maybe?

They have access to the file system and OS apis

I'm still using a Macbook Air 2014 but looking at getting a new laptop. How are the new ones? Do they last as long and built as well as the old ones?

Otherwise, does anyone know a good solid laptop that I can install linux on without driver / battery issues?

I think anyone who has trained to a relatively high level in a sport can relate with that. I've often come back after a long break playing better than before. Also sometimes you just get a click a-ha moment and you've suddenly gotten past a plateau that had been plaguing you for ages.

I think it's because they are useful tools that a lot of webdevs see and can see themselves reasonably implementing by themselves. (Like todo lists & habit trackers)

I love this guy's channel it's awesome.

Never thought I'd hear that name on here, let alone that they were in Japan.

Yeah, ReasonML and ReasonReact are great because you're still writing JSX and not some over-engineered voodoo rewrite of React and/or JS but you get the power of strong types and ADTs and a super fast compiler.

Also the invite-only beta thing that was being talked about on Twitter in a way to make it #mysterious
