I love everything about Godot so much, except for its UI system

It is just so confusing to me and took me over a day to get a simple menu aligned how I wanted

it might just be me not understanding how it works though

I mean, yeah, the ternary operator is part of JS syntax. But it WAS React’s choice to not include any alternative way to if/else add an element (there is an if/else but only for the entire component, not just for conditionally adding one element within a component). So indirectly this is React’s syntax decision.

Omg I was confused because the Gist also said “Last active 23 minutes ago” which I thought was the last edited/created time

It’s not the most pretty syntax, but it’s wayyy better than React’s terrible (expression ? … : …) or (expression && …)

Yeah, also this:

Imagine calling someone on the phone, going hello! then putting them on hold.

I literally start every call with “hello” and then I pause to see if they're there…

On the flip side, as an avid Google Maps reviewer they also removed my negative review from a restaurant without any good reason (supposedly the business reported it as being “fake” or something)

It really pissed me off because I wrote a long thoughtful review and mentioned the good aspects of the restaurant too as well as some recommendations, and it’s just completely gone

The worst part is the restaurant is sitting at 4.5 stars despite being quite bad, and the recent low star reviews are all questioning the rating, which is obviously artificial

Goodreads is so bad, but there’s no good book review site alternative (although many good book trackers). I’ve been wishing for a Letterboxd like alternative with good UI and features

Maybe it would be more clear if you specified salary is in exchange for a certain minimum amount of output, then I would kinda agree. But then you also are expected be at work for the remainder of your contractual work hours. So it’s not as easy as saying one or the other is completely true, it’s a mixture of both time and output

Finally figuring out Flexbox was the moment I stopped dreading writing CSS because it does make a lot of things so much easier

I recommend the game Flexbox Froggy, which is how I learnt it

Eric and Toby Fox were literal heroes to me, they introduced the idea to me that someone could create a video game on their own. I grew away from video games, but I probably wouldn't have learnt programming without them

Sure, but Github is not only the pen, but also the publisher. People create things for others to use, not to be ignored

Almost all of the stereotypes about Asian people also apply to e.g. white software developers.

The argument is talking about a general stereotype, which means that saying some people don’t fit it is kind of meaningless. Also, White parents are not prohibited from raising their children in an Asian way, and some do. Relevant quote from Amy Chua, the “Tiger Mom”:

I'm using the term "Chinese mother" loosely. I know some Korean, Indian, Jamaican, Irish and Ghanaian parents who qualify too. Conversely, I know some mothers of Chinese heritage, almost always born in the West, who are not Chinese mothers, by choice or otherwise. I'm also using the term "Western parents" loosely. Western parents come in all varieties.

A year ago I reported a security issue in Mozilla Basket (not publicly accessible). The essence is that subscribing anybody to Mozilla’s newsletters is trivial

I don’t see how signing someone up to a newsletter is a security vulnerability.

I think this perspective misses the major issue being criticised here and that is the fact that the thread compiler apps that compile threads without the author’s consent.

When you press “tweet” on Twitter you give Twitter consent to display your words on their website, unlike the compilers which will display it without consent
