So what does action look like? Half the country voted for this, we can't act surprised this is happening. We heard Trump's words loud and clear and half the country pretended to not listen or not care because "the liberals were ruining our country".
What can we do, truthfully? I've wrote to elected officials who I haven't heard a peep from. Why aren't the people in charge taking lead to stop this? Genuine question. What can we do? Because the last paragraph in this article makes it sound like violence is the next step which is not something I personally advocate for myself.
Hey, I'm not sure you'll see this but I wanted to let you know that I added a color blind assist mode based on another comment's suggestion of adding patterns/textures to the tiles. In the top-right corner is a hamburger menu where the mode can be enabled.
I'm not 100% if this is the right solution for your needs but I'd be interested in hearing if the update helps at all.
Well in elementary school they'll be teaching my daughter that blue and yellow make green and red and blue make purple. Not sure how I could help the techies here :)
I really appreciate this suggestion. I also had a friend hung up on the directional concept. I'll look to fix that with a gentler tutorial possible. Thanks for trying it out!
I'm really sorry about the color problems, my wife also has some color issues that I was trying to work around. I think having a high contrast mode is something I can add.
Thanks for trying it out, really appreciate you letting me know.
Yes, agreed. But do you know how rare good CTOs are? I do, because I've consulted for more companies without a good one than worked at companies with a good one.
A good CTO is like a good CEO. They have to be involved in the nitty-gritty sometimes. Stepping down and up is a challenge that not many engineers possess.
This is why I get paid top dollar as a consultant ;) When a company's top engineers decide to rewrite their stack in JavaScript, I get to swoop in, take $10k and tell them their old PHP monolith was just fine.
Same, tried it, hated their crypto push and ads, uninstalled and never looked back. I'll never use Brave because of their stupid default decisions like putting a "tip" button under each Tweet or random news articles. Such a shame too because otherwise it's a decent browser.
That said, Firefox Quantum is vastly superior in my opinion without all the crypto bullshit.
Croteam did wonders with that engine, truly a beautiful looking game inside and out.
Shaders are one of those topics that you can easily get lost in. It was one of my more recent "you don't know what you don't know" topics. The idea that your code will run one time for each pixel on your screen, 60-144x a second (!), is mind-boggling. It's still hard for me to wrap my head around it sometimes and when I finally write something that compiles it feels like magic every time.
I wasn't really talking about Buf at scale but rather how gRPC is just a buzzword technology that companies get sucked into adopting for the sake of "scale". I've yet to see gRPC used in a way that makes sense - it's just added complexity for an org that should've been a monolith to begin with.
Maybe I'm an old curmudgeon but I don't see the point, at all.
With all respect, I hope you don't have a lot of capital locked in this. Who is this company targeting? Google?
My company uses gRPC and it's an absolute nightmare but not so much to the point where we'd use a company like this to add on MORE costs to our infrastructure.
It baffles me people choose buzzword technology because "ex-googler" or whatever when 99% of companies that choose it will NEVER hit the scale it was meant for. Best of luck to the sales team. They'll be the driving force I'm sure.
REST is fine for 99% of companies. Long live REST.
I absolutely love this idea, I hope it bears well for you all.
Services like BlueApron, etc have way too much plastic waste, giving people a similar experience while letting them do the shopping (or not, I like the instacart integration) is a great idea.
> Now with "web3" the idea is that the individual nodes can be in control of their data
I'm genuinely curious how this statement differs from
> the mainstream that does not know or care about setting up their own pages and setting up a server.
What is an individual node if not just another server? And on top of that, web3 wants to throw words like "distributed" and "blockchain" at people like they have any more idea what those are than a box that runs code.
I didn't/shouldn't care that Geocities went down. Who would? Back in the day I had a page on my site dedicated to how much I loved the Mets. Putting anything like that on IPFS or whatever is so overkill and for what? So it's always online?
Good luck with web3 or whatever, I'll gladly and kindly stay behind.
