Well, not quite. I also spent some time in LA on a different trip. It was a while ago (so not an adult perspective) but mostly I remember walking through carparks and hundreds of channels with nothing to watch. Seattle was a bit nicer as a place.

I would like to go back some time, just not right now.

What really put us off was arriving after a long haul to a queue that filled the immigration hall, then proceeding to wait for two hours while the three desks (out of about 12) tried to process about three flights worth of people. That and the shoes thing, most other places don't have that.

It all may have changed, but until I hear otherwise (or that the TSA have decided to calm down) I'm happy with my choice.

Edit: As the other comment mentioned, this was also all just for a flight transfer.

I live in New Zealand with family in the UK. I have spent the last 10 years flying the other way around the planet instead of via LA because the airports are worse than places like Malaysia.

I can't speak to living in the USA but I have lived in Milawe and Fiji, and honestly being poor is definitely bad but some of the stuff happening in the US is a whole other kind of dystopian terrifying.

This is a particular dilemma I've tried a lot of different approaches for. One thing the article didn't touch on is what happens on responsive, where often margins can change multiple times between desktop and mobile.

For a while now I've been effectively writing semantic css (nested or more recently bem) composed out of non semantic sass helper functions. The benefits of this are being able to think about namespacing in very simple terms. It can make for fairly large css output files though, something BEM helps with a bit.

How do you handle responsive with inline in react? Case switching in js?

On the dark mode thing, another way to do this is using css variables like --color-foreground for example. The whole site can have dynamic colour themes with minimal effort after that.

Also a Rails guy but have found Node is quite a good fit for async work like managing email queues. Would use Phoenix but don't have enough production experience in it yet..

Funny, I have polar opposite opinions about those examples. I hate loud music in bars because I love to have deep random conversarions, but the last thing I want in the gym is someone talking to me.

I could be interested in writing one, having just written a semi complex wishlist management app with some overlap in user management features. Would nodejs suit a project like this do you think?

The difference between a Tesla and an rs200 accelerating like that is the Tesla does it with zero drama. An rs200 Is not a daily driver.

>That's a bit like thinking that the war on drugs will make people want drugs less That might have been possible if that was the actual goal

Is that better or worse than allowing all sorts of unregulated crazy behaviour via free market incentives?

I'd rather imperfect regulation and tweaking lobbying rules than toxic waterways etc.

Yeah my secondary point that I deleted was that it's the sims that are regulated. Isn't that closer to regulating an ISP? But then a cellphone is more like a computer or iPad, so all these analogies are a stretch.

Are cellphone or walkie talkie manufacturers regulated because those devices can be used to run drug rings? It's easy to make analogies to draw a range of conclusions.

Social platforms are given a hard time for being walled gardens, but they are clearly getting to a kind of scale where they are hard to police, almost like the internet at large. If they weren't owned by a single company maybe this would be seen differently?

I've found that it works this way for a while, but as fitness rises getting that same bone deep exhaustion gets quite difficult (at least without spending hours on it). Is there a way to switch things up and keep that going long term?

This is the first time i've connected running a company to poor sleep quality. Jeeze what a wake up call. Thanks!

Iirc there are some tools to export After fx animation json to html 5, not sure how good they are though.

The hook that got me started on Vue was being able to straight swap with a previous two way dom binding library (rivets.js) and continue from there, I've found Vue to be incredibly easy to pick up, and very productive now I'm up to speed.

In the natural history museum London fake ivory is used due to theft concerns (says as much on the signs), might be the same here?

Seems like solving one would by definition solve the other?

Edit, spelling

Its true I am not the me I was at 5, or 10, or 15, or 20, or 25. But the observer was there, and the observer very much wants to keep observing.

That is very cool, I've owned a few bikes (all Japanese) with years from 1991 to 2013. It has been fascinating to compare how carbs evolved through CDI to ECUs, and how bikes are designed to be somewhat maintainable while being more complex than ever. I don't think I'll dare get into the gearbox any time soon though, the tolerances on everything now are just crazy.

While I quite like the term artisan in some ways, mechanics do not build new things. You could call a maintainer a digital mechanic if you really wanted I suppose.

From my perspective software engineering will become more like engineering is now over time, just as engineering itself has become more rule bound and safety conscious over time, presumably since around the start of the industrial revolution.

The term engineering carries gravitas because getting it wrong is a big deal, and its becoming apparent the same is true when software goes wrong.

VS Code has just come out with a Microsoft team SFTP plugin. It's pretty good, search even works. Seems to fix almost all the issues I tended to get using sshfs. Recommend giving it a shot.

Side note in 2012 my boss forced me to use Dreamweaver and took a lot of persuading to let us use the new (at the time) Sublime text. Good times.

Humanity doesn't exactly display empathy on a species scale either.

Never been comfortable with extension names longer than 3 letters long for some reason..

Cultural whiplash takes many forms. This kind of dualist thinking minimises one take to promote another. Shouldn't we be able to consider two (Or more) things to have merit at the same time?

In the words of Bender, you want me to do two things??

This is more of a risk in places where red light running is endemic. Sadly here in Auckland is rapidly becoming one of those places.

> Leaving all the other cars next to you in the dust is quite antisocial behavior actually.

As a motorcycle rider I disagree, it's the safest option for us.

I get that not everyone is pleased about it, though.

If the police were to treat everyone equally you would see a lot more police hanging around at offices and work parties.
