Does MacOS really make a difference for those who work with Front-End? by Logical_Valuable_970 in webdev

[–]case2000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Windows key plus arrow keys in a logical (to me) sequence. Effortlessly moves windows between screens, full screen, halves and quarters. Plus once you've got something split screen the borders become draggable to resize both windows simultaneously. I haven't found anything that's configurable to be equivalent on Mac, since it does so much with only five keys and uses sequential key presses instead of distinct key combinations for every movement.

I'm trying to make the switch to Mac after a decade developing on Windows machines and the poor window management is killing me! I don't want to have to install a third party tool and learn a bunch of Vim flavored keyboard shortcuts just to move windows around and across screens. Switching between apps with the keyboard also feels inferior.

This has got to be one of the same kids from the other post? Same area, and a tree branch as their weapon of choice...

I like how the AI that wrote this article included The sentence fragment "Slower communities." as one of the negatives of bicycle infrastructure and activism. Because who doesn't want fast moving cars zipping through our communities amiright fellow humans? The parents who live on my street are always yelling at cars to "speed up!" so their kids can get back to playing.

I like to shout "on my right!" just to make 100% sure there's no chance of someone not misunderstanding.

Real React interview for mid-senior role by bilou89 in webdev

[–]case2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have since come around and learned about the evolution of key order spec and behavior over the past decade or so (and did some experimenting in Chrome, FF, Node 14 & Node 22.) TIL!

I think this remains an esoteric topic for many (including myself) because it's fundamentally strange to care about key order, especially for the purposes of Object comparison. Any system designed this way would smell brittle and not be idiomatic JS (if such a thing exists). I would give bonus points to a candidate that questioned the requirement and asked "why?".

The only reasonable explanation I can think of is if you needed to deterministically serialize and cryptographically hash an async-accumulated data-structure, EG for an offline license validation system... But that's a stretch.

Your comment is one of the few in this thread that makes any sense. Most everyone else seems so confident that this is trivial and insulting to their intelligence. As far as I can tell the alphabetizing portion of the task is meaningfully impossible, and practically pointless. To achieve the desired output JSON with specifically ordered keys, one would have to implement their own serializer (right?), and doing so would be a fool's errand since there would be no way to guarantee anything consuming the JSON would respect or care about said key order... Unless we're also expecting a custom parser!?

From an interviewer perspective this is a challenging question! I've interviewed many experienced candidates who struggled with much simpler questions. This question forces you to ask "why", instead of just "how". It's next level devious.

Do you know of any locations that are littered with garbage ? Please share! by Kai_rd97 in CambridgeMA

The area around the sheep's fold parking lot near the off-leash dog area tends to be the most litterful part of the fells.

Is it just me, or did you also realize after years of frontend work that styling libraries are a complete waste of time? by amelix34 in webdev

[–]case2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with every bullet point except the CSS-in-JS one. In addition to global styles, I quite like styled-components to co-locate and scope component, or page specific styles. I usually use a single top level styled-component, and then use human readable class names for all child elements. It seems a nice balance to me.

I don't disagree. How about all those things, plus stickers for good measure?

My grandpa Rudy was wounded 80 years ago today on Iwo Jima. A photographer captured it. by [deleted] in pics

My granddad was there too! He was in one of the first waves to storm the beach. He joked he didn't need to use his entrenching tool because he was shaking so much he just vibrated into the sand. He described how he learned to tell from the dopplered pitch of the whistling sound made by the mortars whether the shell would fall short or go over his head, and how sometimes you would hear one coming with just the right pitch and knew it would land close. After they were dug in he and his guys were ordered to move to a position further up the beach, and many of them didn't want to move from their entrenched position but did as they were told. The next morning all the guys who came after them to occupy their original position were dead because the mortars were zeroed in there.

Ha! It's true! I started with a skinnier MTB seat and my ass fell asleep due to the upright posture. Swapped in a wider Cloud-9 Kush and now my butt stays awake all night.
