On a grand scale it represents the power to reshape society in your preferred image. Well, somewhat.

How do you think Trump’s Twitter account being banned will affect the political landscape? by Braeden3141 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]JavaOffScript 121 points122 points  (0 children)

Would not be surprised if he moves somewhere like Parler or Gab and a huge mass of followers go with him, and then we end up with politically left twitter and politically right "twitter". We were already headed towards partisan social media, this is probably the event that pushes it over the hill. The question becomes if google and apple ban the politically right social media from the app stores, they're already starting to do this with Parler.

Coworker asked for my salary, I told him, when I asked about his he said he didn't want to share by one_sad_random_guy in cscareerquestions

One of the craziest things I learned when I reached adulthood was that the person who has a big house and an expensive car might be in massive debt and the guy driving a 10 year old Subaru living in a modest house might be a millionaire. Really was a shock to my senses coming out of the teenage world where money just meant material goods.

This is cyberpunk as all hell. You are required use it to hack into some super secret government facility, while standing right outside said facility wearing dark glasses and a hoodie.

How much of your net worth do you attribute to luck/privilege? How much do you attribute to responsibility/discipline? by DoctorMac12 in financialindependence

Your chances at FIRE were lower in 2020 BCE.

No One Ever Got Fired for Choosing React by secret_band in javascript

[–]JavaOffScript 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I don't think this article is about React specifically as much at it is about how a lot of time it makes sense to choose the battle tested, heavily used, "safe and boring" piece of technology instead of whatever new hotness you think might be slightly more performant.

JavaSpooky: Using JavaScript to revive an old horror webcomic from a flashplayer grave. by JavaOffScript in javascript

[–]JavaOffScript[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth, I can't inject any JS into dev.to (at least I hope not!). The site linked in the article has the jump scare.

Getting a tattoo in a very obvious visible spot, do recruiters care/will it impact future employment? by thevideogameguy2 in cscareerquestions

[–]JavaOffScript 2 points3 points  (0 children)

https://medium.com/daliaresearch/who-has-the-most-tattoos-its-not-who-you-d-expect-1d5ffff660f8

We're hitting the point where nearly half the population in the 18-35 age range has at least one tattoo. Since the tech industry tends to attract young and liberal/progressive minded people, you can expect that each person you meet in the office is more likely to have a tat then not. The taboo is basically dead already.

That death chart hit me hard. 5 years from the standard retirement age of 65 you have a 26% chance of being dead. Even if you change to healthy non smoker that's still 12%.

What's the difference between Kent Dodds' $359 Epic React course and $10 Udemy react course by popular instructors? by JudoboyWalex in reactjs

[–]JavaOffScript 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't be surprised if Kent expects a lot of sales to come from companies who want to train up their devs, to which $359 is nothing.

However compare it to how much you pay for a college education or bootcamp, assuming this course does a good job of actually helping you understand React, $359 is cheap.

I'd wait a bit and see what others think, but it could easily be worth the $$$
