trizzle21··on The beginner's guide to over­complicating coffee
I find it a mix. There are days where the complexity is fun, there's (most) other days where I just need coffee before a day of complexity at work.
trizzle21··on Stop Reading News (2013)
I like the BBC foreign language news (particularly Spanish)
trizzle21··on Walletmor Payment Implant
It also only lasts 5 years so you need surgery every 5 years to replace it
trizzle21··on Kafka: The Rescue Will Begin in Its Own Time
I was trying to figure out why the New Yorker would care about data streams
trizzle21··on Facebook to Buy Giphy for $400M
they do embed Ads into your gif searches... however, who knows what is happening to ad spend in these Covid times.
trizzle21··on SICP in Python
I believe the "self-paced" version is still in Scheme. I did it a couple years ago and it was awesome.

The final project was changed to a python interpreter in Scheme which I thought was fantastic.

trizzle21··on How I Finally Hit 2000 on Lichess and Improved My Rating
Elo (it's a name, not an abbreviation) refers to a certain calculation method of rating. Lichess uses a glicko2 rating system.

You can't really compare ratings from across websites or groups like FIDE since the pools are so different.

trizzle21··on Shimano wants to make your bike as smart as your car
Most bicycle people including myself feel that way. However, what I like about this attempt to make bikes safer (ie turn signals and the like) is that it might make people who don't feel safe on a bike actually ride their bike. Bikes for everyone!
trizzle21··on Facebook employee is homeless, lives out of her car
especially if you're going from WC to Menlo Park. That's an hour each way without traffic
trizzle21··on Ask HN: Take home interview project – is this ok?
I have less experience (~2 years), but I tend to use these projects to add to my projects page on my portfolio and I try to add something to each project that I don't already know, like Typescript or such.

That being said, I think they're a massive waste of time, especially positions that don't exist or that they already had decided against you. I've had two of them in the last two months both of which didn't lead to phone interviews.

trizzle21··on Material Components Preview
Is there a suggested version for react? I know there are react versions out there, but I haven't had the time to look into them.
trizzle21··on OS X is now macOS and gets support for Siri, auto unlock
Yeah but emojis apparently are more important
