I can't seem to find this subreddit. Do you have a link?

they are effectively big pharma sales people.

No they are not; At least not in the UK.

When I was young, My GP was a kind and caring man. I remember him asking my mum how my siblings were, recalling their previous visits.

As a grown up, When I manage to get an appointment they are STILL remarkably effective,-- albeit clearly over-worked and trying to make up time.

More recently it has been impossible for me to make appointments for my parents due to long term under-funding, and covid.

Well, health (or 'disease control') is a business unfortunately.

This type of thinking in UK social care is exactly what has caused the decline of public health. Politicians and business management have ruined the caring aspect of the NHS through constant budget cuts and medical policies. -- And then they have the gall to claim the NHS isn't fit for purpose.

The whole situation makes me rather distressed. Luckily I am 'well-off' now and look after my parents as best as I can.

The opposite of blameworthy.

Yep my usage a bit odd, I forgot it is a common legal term. Maybe *trivial* would be a better word.

I went back and read the content again because of your comment. What a waste of time.

Stop being so obtuse about exculpatory mistakes; I am not suggesting HN comments should be humourless, but this is not Reddit.

No one can tell if you're genuinely offended (by grammar or societal gender-terms) by or just a smart arse, your sarcastic tone implies the latter.

LineageOS 16 used to have this feature. I really miss it. https://forum.fairphone.com/t/transitioning-from-los16s-priv...

lose weight.

ringbird - educational ring buffer implementation in JS.

printery - alias function which calls console.log. nothing more.

blameless - npm bin package to squash all git history.

Nope. plenty do. I do. granted its verbose, but it gets the job done nicely. easy to follow, plain functions all the way down.

That was the day I decided JS...

Why? surely having 47 promises and some on the same line is the authors fault?

Promise.prototype.then()'s callback function does not need to be written inline. At some point the author should have realised it hass become difficult to grok quickly and refactored them out using appropriate function names.

My current project is run in a similar fashion; and it shows... code quality is terrible, technologies are stale and riddled with performance work-arounds, bugs are fixed with the fastest possible implementation and handed off to the testing team then consequently bounced back and forth with trivial disputes.

The worst thing is the manager/ product owner/ tyrannical architect is a actually a nice bloke. but he is absolutely terrible at insulating devs from his stressors, which has a massive knock-on effect on his team. Recently he took leave for around 4 weeks and it was like night and day! we self organised: minimised new features and maximise time spent addressing technical debt built-up over 2 years. I was enjoying work again, and it had a almost skunkwork-like feel to it.

then he returned, then i handed in my notice.

Do you remember the time when you just copied your file over to the server, and magically everything was deployed? I do. It was a good time. Yes, I am old.

Yep.

That in sense is webpack's job: It allows you to boil down a huge list of interconnected complex dependencies into a neat, portable, highly deployable package.

On national news they mentioned 1% came back positive for people who were believed to be entirely healthy. Unfortunately it was anonymous so they could not get back in touch with the false positive patients. The spokesperson made it very clear its early days and they are looking to refine it further; they anticipate it to be a cheap and accessible 'first-call' test in regular cancer screening, not a definitive diagnosis.

aye ok, perhaps it IS justified. But the interview didnt actually touch on anything of the sort, yet the author is attempting to ridicule him.

-remarkable man does unremarkable interview yet the outcome is "what is this elistist douchebro gonna do next?"

I wonder what the motivations are behind public engagement like this?

I have no idea whether Mr Bezos is a nice bloke or not; but unfortunately for him being the most richest man in the world means most people have a somewhat negative disposition towards him.

for example this quote from the article "And finally, his most ridiculous quote of the talk" paints him as some sort of a disconnected member of high society (and perhap he is) but going from the previous quotes he seems quite well adjusted.

I swear this is becoming more and more common. ... and well, I am more than capable of forming opinions on my own.

I can run create-react-app. just be sure to change npm's global directory.

The headline is very polarised and sensationalist.

Now that you pointed it out, I agree with you it primarily helps me with managing my boredom (and the frustration it causes). Although I have no measurables to quantify its impact, I've felt some benefits to 'mindfulness meditation'. Just because it's not a cure-all doesn't mean it has no merit.

I think you might be missing the point, not everyone (your collaborators) will use the same editor, the same white-space rules. And some developers couldn't care less about consistent code and quality at all.

But having a EditorConfig file means writing none compliant code becomes a defiant choice.

bandwidth perhaps?
