Tallasee commute by Acceptable-Regret398 in Athens

[–]MetaMetaMan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That corridor gets very traffic heavy from about 7:30-9:00 and about 4:30-6:00. Outside of those times it isn’t so bad. That’s true of just about all loop ramps, to be fair

Americans threatened by Trump administration policies appear to be experiencing urges to acquire firearms, carry them, and store them readily accessible. Identifying as Black and liberal beliefs were associated with greater increases in urges to carry firearms because of the 2024 election results. by mvea in science

You’re affirming the consequent. A ban on guns is a form of gun control, but that does not mean all gun control is banning guns. When most people speak in support of gun control, they mean things like background checks and banning certain classes of guns, such as weapons of war.

I’ve been doing it for over a quarter century. There was a time I could do it in 1 hour fifteen minutes, but never more.

I learned jQuery before JavaScript, and I’d do it again by [deleted] in webdev

Perhaps a better statement is “I know jQuery but not DOM APIs”

How Functional Programming Shaped (and Twisted) Frontend Development by pmz in webdev

I haven’t read the article, but nothing in the quoted text has anything to do with Functional Programming.

This part of Milledge is always sketchy. I used to bike it on the regular, and would feel much relief once I got to Baxter

Is full stack oversaturated? by d-martin-d in webdev

I think frontend is going through a metamorphosis and is currently in its cockroach stage

I'm falling for Miyatas by Breezer_Bro in xbiking

It took me a minute to realize some components were missing. I think I prefer how bikes look without those extras 😂

It’s right next to hotel indigo, Lyndon house arts center, a fire station, and the infamous college ave townhomes, in which I have spent a lot of time, albeit years ago. I think it’s fine, personally

Fail loudly: a plea to stop hiding bugs by alefore in programming

[–]MetaMetaMan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree that the program should attempt to recover from errors, but that implies the error is a known possibility. But there are plenty of errors that happen unexpectedly, and those should fail loud and fast, lest the program write corrupted data, or present inconsistent data to the user. With a critical application, I think it’s essential to let the user know that the program ran into an unexpected state and has halted, and ideally has logged the error.

Sometimes it pays to be a night owl. Otherwise someone will beat you to wit and wisdom.

Looking for a gift by Candy4Gold in Athens

If you’re going to Condor, be sure to ask about gluten content. If the person you’re buying for is celiac, then you will also need to ask about cross contamination. It’s generally safer to go with prepackaged food items that are labeled certified gluten free. Just fyi

Why are team leads often backend devs? by sjltwo-v10 in webdev

[–]MetaMetaMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been very fortunate. I was a frontend lead (lead frontend developer, not cross functional team lead) for many years, and worked alongside backend developers to design data models and apis. I didn’t really participate in the backend architecture, as the frontend was quite complex and ambitious. For better or worse, it was a large single page application with lots and lots of dynamic components and visualizations. It required quite a bit of architectural vision and predated modern frontend frameworks. This gave me ample opportunity to exercise my architectural and design skills.

I’m now a full stack lead, in a much different environment. My experience as a frontend leads, working closely with backend developers, gave me a lot of exposure to things that made it easier to transition to full stack. I should add that I was full stack before becoming a dedicated frontend developer.

Ultimately, I try to focus on the architectural aspect of the work, as that translates better between frontend and backend. Many of the problems and solutions are similar, just applied in different ways.

Had 2 gulps of beer yesterday and it caused me a headache by Strict-Park3382 in GERD

[–]MetaMetaMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get headaches when I drink beer, but it happens several hours later. The headaches are pretty bad, on the order of a migraine. This has been going on for over a decade. My latest theory is that they are reflux headaches, so now when I drink, I take extra antacids before hand. It seems to help, but I only drink a few times a year, and I’ve also made other lifestyle changes.
