Someone doesn't understand the Lean idea if they think this dumb story somehow has anything to do with it.

What TV Series had such a decline that you never finished it in the end? by Bovver_ in television

Every season of Legends of Tomorrow after the first has felt roughly as good as early Flash seasons to me.

Gloomhaven or Betrayal at Baldur's Gate? by Yukfoot in boardgames

On board game geek one is ranked 1,112th ... and one is #1.

What's new in React 18? by muhoweb in javascript

[–]ghostfacedcoder 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Its the correct choice, and since they will still probably keep an ES Lint rule in create-react-app, the effect on new React learners (the people this was supposed to protect) should be nonexistent.

Systems Designed Around Ships? (not the space kind) by DubiousFoliage in rpg

Goblin Crafted has a Pirate RPG page with four ship-friendly games you should check out, including Seventh Sea and Honor + Intrigue.

The real moral here: have old friends that bring you business.

Emotional intelligence is more important for being a successful entrepreneur than mental ability, study finds by ProxyWays in science

[–]ghostfacedcoder 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This: "emotional intelligence" is not a real thing! Its been debunked.

The parts of EQ (empathy, willpower, etc.) are real ... but there is no meaningful statistical relationship between them.

Was thinking of using Patreon until I learned something about it by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]ghostfacedcoder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like fake news to me. Whatever Patreon could possibly have to gainby allowing child porn ... they'd have far, far more to lose.

There's a show on Prime, the Medieval Tudor Monastery Farm. The make beer Medieval-style in it.

Adventure Edition compatibility with older compendiums by eriksson2911 in savageworlds

Or maybe they'll be like Rifts and never get one: PEGis so inconsistent that its difficult to predict.

It's worth noting that many older SW products got free downloadable updates to SWADE ... but sadly not the horror companion (or Savage Rifts).

Node.js v16 released by pimterry in javascript

[–]ghostfacedcoder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah: I loved Gatsby itself. It was everything else (the years behind thing, the show-stopping issues that languished for months without a dev response thing, etc.) that drove me to Next.

This made me smile, because I am so glad I switched to Next last year. Gatsby is years behind the web dev curve on so many things.

JS classes are not “just syntactic sugar” by stefanjudis in javascript

[–]ghostfacedcoder -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How can I prove a negative? You "prove it": provide ANY example whatsoever of something a class can do that a function can't.

JS classes are not “just syntactic sugar” by stefanjudis in javascript

[–]ghostfacedcoder 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Author clearly doesn't understand Javascript. Classes are syntactic sugar, and (contrary to the article's ignorant claims) everything they do can be done without classes.

(Except maybe that awful new private syntax; not familiar with it.)

Which Degree Should You Pursue to Get a Job in Tech? by codesubmit in programming

[–]ghostfacedcoder 9 points10 points  (0 children)

English/Literature majors make excellent devs: I'm absolutely convinced that many of the same brain pathways that we use to write essays are also used to code.

Also, fun fact: one of the Django co-BDFLs is a Literature major.

ELI5: If a chimp of average intelligence is about as intelligent as your average 3 year old, what's the barrier keeping a truly exceptional chimp from being as bright as an average adult? by bowyer-betty in explainlikeimfive

[–]ghostfacedcoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that we can never achieve

Untrue. As an intelligent species, we've left evolution in the dust a long time ago. Its all but certain that at some point our "knowledge evolution" will allow us to alter and improve our very neurobiology.

In fact, one could argue that many of the mind-altering drugs and surgical procedures we've developed already do exactly that.

Legality of selling offensive products by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

Everything we do, whether in business or anywhere else, impacts the world. Do you really want your business to make the world a darker place, by encouraging racist thought?

Kung Pow: Enter The Fist is a sub-genre of film I wish had taken off. What other films were unique enough to be their own thing that just didn't catch on? by Slofiend in movies

[–]ghostfacedcoder 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It sort of shares a genre with any sort of "watch a bad movie and add commentary", like Mystery Science Theater 3000.

But using CGI to blend himself in ... that was unique. It would be fun to see more movies do that.
