No we aren’t the best mammals at swimming but, definitely the best primates. And I think the argument is that the theoretical aquatic ape spent much more time in water than the typical bear.
While a new story and characters ie Warcraft 4 would be awesome I actually really like this idea. WC3 is a perfect game, refreshing graphics is the only thing I really want and maybe this will get some younger people to try a game they might have written off otherwise.
Firefox dev edition has been my go to lately, highly recommended if you do a lot of markup / css debugging. Being able to see outlines around elements as I hover / scan through the DOM easily doubles my speed.
Siddhartha by Herman Hesse for its portrayal of a spiritual journey / life that was not a ‘religious’ one.
This was a book I read in my early twenties that really helped me come to terms with a religious upbringing that no longer resonated with me, as well as a spiritual void in my life that needed to be filled. Seriously life changing stuff and so easy to read. Definitely the most accessible Hesse.
I’d be curious if this book has impacted anyone else similarly and if so what they took from it. Love this thread btw
Java for me. I started using it at my most recent job and was a little horrified initially at what I was seeing in our codebase. The syntax does you no favors when in comes to code formatting. I also had reservations about the overhead of a strongly typed language as it was my first. BUT I ended up really enjoying the language and strong typing gives back so much more than it takes. Pleasantly surprised in the end.
I totally agree there is no way these had any real impact on voter turnout. To me these read more like sowing the seeds of division in general than anything else.
I recently had an amazon delivery person submit that they had delivered my package even though they hadn’t. Prompting me to go through the stolen package process, only to find the package on my doorstep a couple days later. Definitely don’t want that dude in my apartment.
I can only speak for me as someone who really loves the aesthetics of code, but there's something super enjoyable about things like arrow functions rendering as actual arrows in Java / JavaScript. It's so clean!
Perhaps the larger percentage of founders has more to do with the substantially smaller student body and shorter track record of the university. Daniel Kahneman touches on this phenomenon in "Thinking Fast and Slow".
I don't think learning React is analogous to learning to build client server apps any more than jQuery is. I personally have worked on many static React websites (which is a blast by the way).
I definitely wouldn't assume that a JS newbie knows the http fundamentals. That definitely wasn't the case for me when I started learning. You can get a lot done on the web without really understanding what you're doing.
