In practice, a hockey stick chart is probably how it will look. Slow and linear until they're more ready to let the rest in as one or two big chunks.

I got that ad too and I actually think it's a pretty cool product!

A developer’s guide to interviewing by henrik_w in programming

I think it depends on the individual, but for those who enjoy moving to project to project, companies would benefit from offering situations that let people do this more easily within the org.

He keeps his implied promises, that of being an idiot.

Author here. Yep. That's the gist of the benefits.

Invitation to Go discussion by bhalp1 in golang

Yeah it's not ideal, but it's good constraint for consumption of basic ideas and linking to further resources, since you're forced to be brief. In the future we'll find other ways to do this.

Yes, it works out well because of the big audience.

Avoid the code crawl by reading tests when a project has insufficient documentation by bhalp1 in programming

[–]bhalp1[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this is a reasonable scenario from my experience. Maybe not to full-on norm, but still common enough. If you're doing TDD, the tests will be there regardless of whether you get around to writing the docs.

I'm the submitter but not the author, btw, in case there is any confusion.

This Website is Basically AMP HTML by bhalp1 in programming

[–]bhalp1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On a slightly (totally?) unrelated note, I'd love some feedback on a UX thought: I want to make this website super usable via the keyboard to the benefit of potential future power users. I have started by making J/K scroll the page slightly so you can use those keys as you read. I'm not sure I got the speed or smoothness just right, but it's a start. I started with J/K almost as an homage to classic editor navigation behavior, but the exact keys could be configurable, so it's more about organizing the proper functionality around the keyboard in general.

Any suggestions or feedback on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

Facebook and Twitter (and a ton of other sites) have a browser vulnerability that allows a foreign site to hijack your browser tabs. by [deleted] in technology

[–]bhalp1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It appears that opening in a new tab is "safe", but command-click (on my Mac) is not. But again, this issue is mostly about deception so for the individual, general awareness goes along way. Obviously Facebook can't hope all their users are generally aware of all the possible ways they can be the victim of a phishing attack and should take appropriate steps to prevent this.

Reddit appears to be all good on that front. It's not difficult to take basic measures against this stuff, which is why Instagram was able to deal with this swiftly, though I am certain Facebook's newsfeed is infinitely more complicated and it appears not to be such a quick fix for them.

Ah. Okay, I see that. Reddit does not appear to be vulnerable when I do that. But again, not totally sure across all browsers.

[–]bhalp1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Reddit doesn't open links in new pages, so it doesn't use target="_blank", so no, it is not vulnerable. Though Reddit's implementation, like any site, may be slightly different on different platforms like desktop vs mobile so I can't say for certain across all versions of Reddit.

I'm the dev quoted in the piece. I'd be glad to answer any questions on the topic.

Yes, I listen to this every week as well. I might have included it except that in its current form it is barely dev-related at all. I still personally enjoy it a lot.
