This seems like another high tech solution looking for a problem. I'm not heavy agriculture savy but it seems to me the same could be solved by having 2 or 3 archimedes screws on the bin which could keep grain moving over time and preventing it from forming the clods.

The bot could also be radio controlled and it would still remove the need of a human going in.

Another pet peeve of mine is the robot-as-a-service part - can't we just buy stuff and keep it anymore?

I thought they were all in the same key! I got mine because someone gave it to me. Then later I gave it to someone.

I don't really understand the composition API. Doesn't passing values by reference which can be modified anywhere downward the tree make your app difficult to reason and debug it?

I constantly read articles like these and keep thinking - if you lose this distraction, soon you'll find another one.

I noticed a few months ago that hackernews and reddit were sucking more and more time out of my life. So I installed impulse blocker, removed the apps from my smartphone, thinking I would get so much more free time. Guess what, I was wrong - I just spent my free time with other distractions, sometimes to a much worse net benefit. Not reading HN would mean to lose the thin grasp I've got on state-of-the art tech and all the panoplia of interesting content.

I've tried the folder before, as well as turning the screen gray (guess what, most apps don't have enough brightness contrast to be really usable while on grayscale), and nothing worked.

Maybe distractions can also be positive in your life - I surely enjoy watching a documentary to spend time, and the entertainment it gives you also brings something valuable to your life, while r/funny or facebook don't. Maybe the trick is to select when you wanna have trivial fun and stick to that.

I must say I'm really surprised. I'm a frontend developer and probably more keen to keep an eye on this stuff but there are lots of times where I just say yes because the popup is in-my-face and I just want to scroll to the content.

I guess where the article falls flat is where the author says a "proper GDPR content banner" was implemented. No online publication will do this. At least they will trick you with button colors, or some kind of double negative mind trick. Sometimes they will require you to tick all the checkboxes out.

GDPR was a good idea from the start but it's implementation is rather dull - they shifted responsibility to each country without penalization for relaxed enforcing, and now there are countries like mine (Portugal) where we have less than a hundred fines.

Angular's form builder is the only framework-given option that gives you a isolated object while keeping you in power over how the template should be rendered. You also have in the same ecosystem the ControlValueAccessor interface which makes it really easy to adapt custom form components to be used by the form groups you create.

In react there's no built in solution; in vue you need to polute the scope of your component with form details no one wants. God forbid you if you want to do something less basic like a async validation

I'm a frontend developer working on angular for two years. Initially I thought this could be actually better than other frameworks, since it forces you to use typescript and has a standard, easy and clear way to do forms. But seems like that for everything else, angular and it's community like to hug a more-complex-than-it-should-be approach. No single file components. No straightforward export of a component to be used from a third party app. Http requests are even exposed as observables in the official docs. Don't really know how so many companies use this.

I've been having different sensations on my belly, and thought this had something to do with my stomach and digestion. Turns out that heart palpitations is one of the symptoms of being highly anxious and stressed out. On tuesday I had my first anxiety crisis and ran out of the office, only to return after 30 minutes.

For the first time in my career this week I've left with a sick leave that will endure until the week following the next one. Since medical leave is paid by the state, my winnings will be cut to around 50% for the time that I'm home, and I feel ok with it. I feel that a week and a half won't cut it.

Guess that's what happens when you burn your brain on a project you don't fully understand why it's being done and interview around 200 different people in the timeframe of an year.

Fuck company growth and fuck the company.
