Look at your analytics and see which browsers your users are using. Sometimes, I’ve worked on apps without a big userbase but we had to support IE because a big percentage used it.
You’ll probably find out that you don’t have too many browsers that actually matter.
Can’t believe they didn’t include “intimate partner violence”. OK, I can believe it but it’s the dumbest, least understood term I’ve ever come across.
For nstance, IPV usually doesn’t involve “violence” or at least what normal people consider violence (ie Punchin, kicking, slapping, etc…). IPV is more often financial or mental abuse.
As someone who started off in Ember and then began developing in React: I've never liked React Router. IMO, the url is best treated as data because it doesn't work well as part of the presentation layer.
The interesting part (for me) is that I'm pretty locked into React because of Shopify's Polaris project.
> “In fact, there’s some evidence to suggest the opposite,” he added, noting risks from an improperly fitted mask or touching the face while taking it off or putting it on.
it's hard to remember what our state of mind was back then. Hillary Clinton wrote a book in 2015 as she was preparing to run for president. She dedicated a chapter to PPE and was very interested in funding research into helping doctors get PPE on and off more safely. Those were the learnings taken from the Ebola outbreak where taking off your PPE improperly could get you infected.
We know know that Covid isn't really transmitted by touching your face so much as from the arousals that we breath. But, back then, people were still in the Ebola mindset of "don't touch your face."
This reminds me of a job I had while starting my first business after college. I was a bar-tender for a catering company. We did a lot of fancy parties so a big part of my job was pouring Champaign and putting it on a tray for the servers to pass around. After a few months, I could pop a bottle and pour six flutes that were all exactly the same height without leaving a drop in the bottle.
You ain't kidding. Jobs gave people the choice of good, better, or best. That was it. 3 options and you probably already knew which one you were walking out with.
I have zero information on how X (i.e. Musk's holding company for Twitter) is structured but it's possible to issue stock in a private company. The difference is that you cannot sell that stock on the public markets and need to find a buyer through a secondary market. Your requirements for selling are also typically more restricted.
I know one insider at Meta that I could ask about this. I suspect they can't really retain talent like they used to.
The only other anecdote I have is an acquaintance who was early (i.e. the first web-dev) at YouTube. He _hated_ working for Google and left as soon as his shares vested. That was my first experience with someone simply rejecting a fat paycheck because _Google_ was to buttoned down for them.
People are strange (and software engineers are a whole different level of people).
What valuation? Per the article, it's being delisted and taken private. Which, may attract talent who wants to build something for the long term rather than being pinned to quarterly reports.
My money would be on software developers with certain personality quirks being drawn to Musk's leadership while those who have been building Twitter's compliance and moderation infrastructure would be repulsed. But, I don't think we'll really ever know because - as a private company - I expect Twitter to not disclose that information in the future.
I think this is a huge part of his success. That clarity makes buying simpler for customers. You get the color that your device is supposed to be. Period.
My first impression of OP’s post was that it’s not going to be supported by corporate culture. Optimizing for quarterly profit isn’t going to align with an employee optimizing for personal excellence.
Seems to me that the most important step will be to find a vocation where your goals a few allignrd with the bottom line.
I only watch the pbs news hour and remember Fauchi talking about masks at this time. He never claimed they didn’t work and always pointed out it was about preserving the supply.
I suspect other news outlets didn’t give their viewers the full story. But, I’ll never know because I can’t stand most of the news.
Pair programming is a great way to learn. Just watch what others do and pick up tricks.
Also, check out fugitive by tim pope. It’s a git plugin for vim that’s changed my life. It’ll open your files with the old version in one split and the new version in another. You can then pull in changes chunk by chunk. It’s amazing.
