raidicy··on Millions of Active WebSockets with Node.js
Why is deno so much slower than node.js?
raidicy··on CSS Grid the Right Way
Well written article with first principles in mind. I would like to mention that in the section where the author talks about placement there's a hiccup. When you place grid items with grid-column:start/end, start refers to the starting column line and end refers to the ending column line. Not the columns themselves. If you look at [1] you can see there's 3 columns but the ending is at '4'.

Funnily enough this doesn't apply to spanning.Notice here with grid-column:1/span 3 it spans the length of 3 columns. [2]

These details perfectly illustrate the authors excellent point of using named template areas and placing items semantically. I apologise if this is pedantic, I really did like the article.

raidicy··on Why do you use Chrome?
The only reason I use it is because Windows Speech Recognition makes Firefox unusable.

I would love to be able to use this for personal use. I have RSI and WSR and Vocola 3 work OKish for programming, for the most part. But they're locked onto my specific system. I would really like to try to have something embedded to be able to go to any computer, plug it in or use WiFi and be able to dictate at a decent accuracy.
raidicy··on Ask HN: Do you do drugs while coding?
If I am learning something brand new I prefer to be sober. But if I'm doing something I know or iterating on previous concepts I like to be high. I am definitely slower while high, however. And after a couple bowls over the day my brain gets too fogged to do anything complex. I've got RSI and that makes things slow anyway but when I'm high I'm less frustrated by it. Especially when WSR doesn't recognize what I say 5+ times in a row.
raidicy··on CS50, Harvard’s Largest Class Expands Its Line Up of Courses
I think I unintentionally have spoken negatively about FCC. It really it can be a really good foot hold into Web Dev. Maybe it was just me but I had a lot of disconnects while going through some of the material and solving programming challenges, while useful, felt cumbersome after a while. I was also pretty lost most of the time.

I wish I had originally started learning how to program from cs50 instead of FreeCodeCamp. I feel I would be much further than I am currently. Really, thank you for the links. I'm excited to check out what the other courses have to offer.

Is this type of issue the reason that Symbols were added to the JS Standard?
