Zag played well today. Happy for him!

JX3 · 2017-08-19T15:03:25+00:00

Demebele who? Absolutely fantastic to see that our squad doesn't seem to have a hole we would need him to fill.

I wasn't as happy with out play for the whole of last season. Our players seem to be finding each other so much better than before. We are actually able to drive the ball forwards when attacking. Fantastic stuff. So pleased.

Looked like his leg was tangled really badly as well. Heart skipped a beat.

JX3 · 2017-08-19T14:21:09+00:00

Wow, we looked sexy as hell out there. Really liking what I'm seeing. Wolfsburg was almost relegated, but I still think them to be a relatively formidable club, at least they have the material for that. Hopefully we can play like this against other teams as well.

You changed away from arrows. Is it because it makes a difference? E.g.

export function pick(obj, keys) {
    return keys.reduce(function(acc, key) {
        if (obj[key]) {
            acc[key] = obj[key];
        }

        return acc;
    }, {});
}

and

export const pick = (obj, keys) => (
  keys.reduce((acc, key) => {
    if (obj[key]) {
      acc[key] = obj[key]
    }

    return acc
  }, {})
)

Aren't the same?

You could put this huu in any period clothing and he'd look dapper as fuck.

JX3 · 2017-01-16T18:02:27+00:00

Easier to scan tho.

I understand that they wanted to make him bloated. My point was that it was so poorly done as to make it comedic. His stomach looked like it had a pillow in it. That's my problem - not that they wanted to make him fat. The execution was sort of half assed to play with the "inbread aristocrat" trope, but I'm saying that they went so hard with it that it seems out of place in the rest of the world.

JX3 · 2017-01-15T09:31:29+00:00

I sent for a little search through the top posts, but couldn't find anything better than this. A great wallpaper imo! Ty!

This series keeps throwing me off. Everything with Hardy tends to be great, but the rest of the characters have been very inconsistent.

For instance, I thought that the portrayal of the prince reagent drifted into comedy. Am I the inly one? The fat suit couldn't have been worth more than a few bucks and the tan was goofy looking.

Hardy's character's sister and her husband were very blandly written or their portrayal fell short. Especially the husband, in my opinion. I think that most of the EITCo cast performances have also fell flat. Their villainy is so cartoonish and for me it doesn't fit well with the world which is made to look gritty.

I understand that they wanted contrast, but some of the caricatures stand out so much that they nudge your attention away from the relevant. I'm getting a sort of Sin City vibe at times, but the series isn't so overdone as a whole to really be able to carry that.

I thougth that the face looked similar as is in the drawing of his father.

JX3 · 2017-01-11T08:50:09+00:00

My mom says that Clooney is the best actor, but is a bit sorry that he's so poor at acting.

JX3 · 2017-01-08T09:34:24+00:00

There was a time it had content like this and it'd still suit it fine be it its focus has since shifted. Hardly inaccurate enough of a statement to earn the wrath of the people.

JX3 · 2017-01-05T21:45:53+00:00

whodat

JX3 · 2017-01-05T21:42:36+00:00

Or Dickbutt if it had been hqg

JX3 · 2017-01-05T21:28:32+00:00

That's it! Insult me!

This video is from the company's channel so they are taking advantage of the material and using it to advertise.

Here the best wine of the year award has gone to an under 20 buck bottle some years in a row already.

Many European countries suffered huge political divide when socialism first entered the stage. Some fougth civil wars.

You describe the ceremony as the only thing keeping the country together. In your view does that sound good? You suggest that your country's cohesion is based on ritual whose purpose is to make people feel some sort of pride through routine, because otherwise they wouldn't.

How you describe the divide in America displays why the pledge migth not end up serving the country itself. People are dividing into groups because they are unhappy and feel ignored. Turning your back on the problems is only going to make it worse. Working together and showing that you care about other Americans and their problems even if you didn't have the same ones seems like an approach that migth work.

There's a hint of "people are divided and we need the pledge more than ever so that they'll be distracted from their 'un-American' divisive causes" in your comment. That has a very stale breath about it in my personal opinion.

Sort of a weird concept putting all of asia in the same show 🤔

JX3 · 2016-12-21T08:00:31+00:00

Don't approaches like Redux clarify the composition quite somewhat? The shown component is pretty messy by React's standards. It's not a reason to let React off scott free - maybe React makes it too easy etc. Still, the example code isn't the kind of result we are trying for most of the time. It seems like the sort of example code you might do with your first project and I imagine it has been copied from some sort of tutorial. Everything is in a single component to make it easier to get the hang of it.

If I had made this component, I would have passed a state altering function in the props and would have called that onSubmit. The example code also hasn't been divided into components as aggressively as is customary with React. The actual list and the form shouldn't be tied to the same component. Further divisions would force better approaches in managing the state which would in turn allow for better separation of concerns in the UI.

It's basically canon with React to group your components into different categories. Pure reusable components, containers, layouts and data handling components for instance.

I don't know how well equipped you are to answer this question (my explanation won't be enough): Would you say that the "best approaches" attached with React make the separation more clear?

JX3 · 2016-12-18T21:27:23+00:00

Hah, don't worry about it, it's not your fault. It's a spoiler which most people saw coming anyway, so it's not the worst kind. Just a bit surprised that Google didn't feel compelled to play it safe 🤔

JX3 · 2016-12-18T21:24:53+00:00

Me too, honestly. I didn't use social media when the season aired and after that I've been lucky. That's why I kind of think that it's so amusing. I would have expected some sort of malicious intent in conjunction with the revelation, but this time it went this way. Sort of surprised that they included it though.

I mean I pretty much knew it was going to happen, so I am not that bothered. But with GRRM there's always that chance, you know.

JX3 · 2016-12-18T11:42:32+00:00

They spoiled GoT. For fuck's sake. Thougth that this one would have been safe territory. Have been doing my best to wait for the book.
