dang. Do they avoid high typing requirements, or have a workaround of some kind? I often wonder what my backup plan would be to any kind of hand injury, let alone missing fingers. I used to do a lot of carpentry but my fingers are intact.

it has nothing to do with server side business logic. It's simply that javascripts package manager, npm, was widely adopted to server / node needs. And then the notorious "node_modules" folder, which was before handled by server compilation, became a part of clientside dev too because it had so many goodies in it, so now the client was de facto having to do the same build as the server, so, by "server side code", I think it's safe to say what they mean is "node modules".

it comes down to the Inspector for me. I've had zero problems thus far right clicking on elements and then clicking on the relevant CSS exposed. I don't think anyone should actually be reading through CSS docs (will admit I'm a solo dev here so got it easy), and I'm afraid this could make the Inspector more confusing.

furthermore I suspect a very large % of people do not realize you can actually edit and save your CSS directly with Workspaces.

for the first 30 seconds with the "Submit" button I thought it was a crowdsourced analytical thing though. Almost bounced. Might be worth changing the wording but otherwise agree

I think many addiction treatment programs looks specifically at the negative impacts of your "zoning out" though. Zoning out is just a brainstate, probably as old as (human) time. But if it's causing your self esteem to drop, to miss deadlines, etc, then -those- are specifically the problem. I think it's no surpise that as we continue to remove nature from our environment, we turn increasingly to digital media to get these pseudo-meditative experiences, and we should not entirely blame ourselves for this dystopian state of affairs.

i dont think theres any 4d chess involved, the poster is just saying that what appears to be self effacement is actually alignment with the greater powers that be. the story looks better for them this way. say you're bartending in the trendiest club in town and you spill some drinks on the VIPs. you agree to whatever punishment the VIPs dispense, because you dont want the punishment of the club owner.

his "go wild" sounds like it's blaming the nurses, which it is partly, but I think moreso he's trying to point that this situation is just pretty awful. Or at least he should be trying to focus on the bigger picture. I certainly don't blame the nurses for showing up to work and trying. But I think we can all see how the 'path of least resistance' and financial incentives also leads us to this 'medical factory' type of treatment of people. And that's not the nurses' problem, that's just all our problem.

the original Processing textbook: https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262028288/

I don't know if the code is still executable with current Processing, but this book enabled me to finally start my own self-learning coding journey. It's basically a visual introduction to programming.

10 years ago I was figuring out what to do with my life, knew that I liked the idea of coding, but had found the Comp Sci curriculum at my college a bad fit at the time, and disheartening.

I finally took this book on my own, and spent a bit of time every morning.

The emphasis on design set it apart from so much of the other material I was coming across in trying to get started.

The problem is also the title. It treats the killer as a non-agent with no free will, and is an implicit justification of political violence. "The crime that killed Abe" is known as "homicide", not "predecessor's political decisions".

it's one thing to say we have a motive for the shooter, another thing to say that his actions were a rational line of causality as the OP appears to do

I like your coffee shop analogy... Do you have a particular client of choice for browsing? Or just your phone web browser? I usually skim the top 10 articles using a Feedly RSS, but I agree with your assessment that maybe it's worth just skipping the rest of the internet...

I think it's an unholy combination of things: - the laggy easing on the scroll (primary culprit) - the massive occluding header which animates based on scroll direction - the resizing on page load

The easing isn't terrible, but all 3 together, not good

"if they don't care too much about their clocks being in sync with the sun"

this is pretty important though.

We need both absolute and relative time unfortunately, as a consequence of this messy physically embodied universe we find ourselves in.

I too yearned for One Time Scale to Rule Them All, to no avail.

the rhetoric on all sides has been hyperbolic for years - I imagine if we could graph the use of "treason" or "lock [X] up" in public discourse we would see an explosion around 2014 and continuing straight to today.

What gives me hope is:

a) McCarthyism (surely that was worse, yet we made it through)

b) this language is happening on privately funded cable news that approx 5% (I believe) of Americans watch on a daily basis. That's a far better place than coming from government officials.

I've started building simple versions of google tools like Contacts on my own server. They load fast, are non-dynamic, and it's satisfying as hell :) It feels like a hedge against the way I see a lot of the megalith software going.

If you could visualize a series of these getting smaller and smaller til the point they are indistinguishable from pixels, a la Powers of 10 video, it could be a really fun teaching / learning tool as to how far our modern displays have come.

I'm not looking forward to the day when I need to choose between privately developed immune system installs for my body. I think this is his vision even though he doesn't go so far to say it or perhaps recognize it. There is some precedent already though, check out Comma AI for instance
