I use FTP & SFTP on a share hosting I have had since high school. Old PHP and static sites that don't really benefit from added complexity of anything more than dragging and dropping files or editing on the server directly. Popularity hasn't been super important as long as it continues to work well for me.

I didn't mention fixing anywhere. Having spent a portion of my career as a graphic designer, letter spacing / kerning was used in literally every print piece I ever made, so to suggest they are to be used as provided is preposterous.

I love typography but decided to follow the trend of removing custom fonts from my websites as the value add is actually very, very low. A lot can be achieved with some simple letter spacing and line height, as well as antialiasing correctly. I looked into paying for nice custom typefaces but the cost is too much.

I have been using the same open source typeface for programming since I found it many, many years ago. The industry reminds me of music licensing, there are so many free choices that are public domain, but if you have the money you flex and spend it on something custom, even if it is more or less the same as the free option, because that distinction is made by the end users. It reminds me of 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' using public domain music for many of the scenes and the theme, and now I hear that tune in many TV shows.

Twitter can be really great if you take the time to curate who you follow and don’t get overly upset when accounts share things outside of what they do (like a pixel artist sharing random photos, etc.) and avoid the trending section. I’m aware of the toxic portions, but it really can be as easy as not engaging with those accounts.

I believe the hosting and domains have been taken care of.

I've worked on select weekends to make my life easier, those were worth the investment. Working yourself sick seems like a type of mental health issue people don't address, stuck in a hussle cult.

I'm from Nashville, TN and live in Seattle, WA and recall one particular instance on a date here when some girl was trying to get snippy & sassy about the "pen" vs "pin" issue. She and many other people here, and generally outside of the southern states, immediately equate the accent with ignorance. Which makes everyone adopting "y'all" more casually now really funny and weird to see, like are you mocking it or celebrating it?

Honesty is a great policy but you have to live honest, which is hard.

> To most of us, honesty often means cruelty. But to Blanton, honesty and compassion are the ones in sync.

These stories always make me think of contracts, and how truly crazy some of them really are* (valid "across the universe"?!) that people get sucked into and what they end up signing away for a chance at stardom or wealth by trading their freedom of being not-famous.

Is there a list of what exactly was lost? Does anyone actively seek out and salvage this sunken treasure? I hate to think of another Garfield Phone thing in the future with something more dangerous.

I tried ligatures and different letter combos and none of them ever stuck with me. I have used M+ MN Type-1 Regular as my terminal and programming font for years, I started because it was narrow but it's been my go to ever since.

One of the best explanations and examples of mixing React and D3 I have ever seen, not to mention the presentation is beautiful and well thought out.

We do this to a large degree with set office hours for questions and most meetings. Personally I get more work done once the sun has set and churn out the "best" work then. "Best" being the fewest silly mistakes and it works as expected the first time.

I was first introduced to this concept through emulation, specifically Super Nintendo & Arcade work and would eagerly watch change logs. It is amazing to see it really step by step, and even now it still feels like magic.

These sort of games are great as an educational tool, a simpler one would be a nice intro before going to hard mode though.

I've seen a few places accepting anything, mostly with smaller NFT ideas:

My most popular track is unlike all the other tracks, that’s how it goes.

jQuery is also an amazing educational tool for teaching people to program in steps, learning the native DOM methods and then being introduced to jQuery has been really fun to see light bulbs going off for new students.

The seems like the situation where even if an engineer knew exactly where the bug was, they would not be allowed to patch the issues without a bunch of new red tape. I know the pain of watching an easily fixed bug in production that you cannot convince anyone to fix, even when you give them the exact location of the issue.

Having gone through many corporate chat transitions, I'm curious where we are headed next or when it will circle back. We already use Salesforce products so I don't see Slack going away unless something much better comes along.

MSN / AIM, IRC, Google Chat, Campfire, HipChat, Slack / Discord, ???

I have, I didn’t have a bad time, but YMMV.

I've personally found JSDoc gets me what I want out of TypeScript without any compiling or features that don't actually exists in the language (I'm glaring at you enums). Ensuring the documentation is correct ensures the types are correct. You loose some nice-to-haves but to me not having to compile my code or deal with that variety of tooling is a huge plus. I can facilitate folks who like TypeScript by exporting types from the same JSDocs.

I would not under estimate the value of a shared "life culture", and not just "work culture" as expectations don't always line up with reality when having an office in a truly different culture. Sometimes it is amazing, other times it is a difficult situation from my experience.

Seems morally dubious from every angle: - paying way less for what it is when you sell it to "governments", a hefty fee for a black market loop whole to sell your hacks - is any government hacking people (either citizens or foreign nationals) a good thing? - hunting "bad guys" is always the image put forth, but never the whole image

I would recommend linters (ESLint) to beginners as I use it as a long time not-beginner to point out silly mistakes, which can be the hardest and most frustrating to spot.

> [T]hey’re as useful to learn coding as it is to use ready-to-heat-up dough and buns to become a baker.

I would imagine getting a familiarity with a new oven would be a good use for a new baker experimenting with ready to bake items.

I get the feeling the author is into a very brutal style of learning that might resonate with some, but probably not most with their steps.

This is from 2018 and updated last in 2019, but the title didn't show that.

I've met a few drivers in Seattle who offered their own rates via text pickup. I used this to get to the airport once. I wonder how many drivers in California were doing the same thing knowing this was on the way- get your local clients and build trust and start their own mini ride service- assuming you know how to use Venmo and the like.

I believe a lot of folks are upset at "hustle culture" in the sense of overworking as exploitation. If you want to hustle and work hard for yourself, that is an amazing and aspirational model for many other people- but make sure you are hustling for your own success, not for someone else's success.
