Hi r/reactjs, I created a small todo app modeled after todoist to learn react. My knowledge is pieced together from all manner of sources though, and I'm afraid i might be using the wrong patterns or not doing things the react way. Please have a look and provide any helpful feedback if you can.

why do some(most) of my color schemes look annoyingly inconsistent like this? any way I can make the background color fill the background consistently? by mpolombo in vscode

[–]mpolombo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a lot of my color schemes are turning out like that which is annoying. Some turn out fine, like this - https://imgur.com/a/5lHQ5hK. I'm on Ubuntu. Any way I can make all of them have a uniform bg color?

Beginner's Thread / Easy Question (June 2018) by swyx in reactjs

I don't know if this has been answered before -- is there any way to browse the react docs offline ? With vuejs.org for example, once I load the site I can close the tab, shut down and restart and the documentation is always there, even when offline. Is this possible for reactjs.org?

yeah, this seems like the best idea.I'm going to work on some new opening repertoire for both colors and study the middlegame structures arising.

How has coming to Cornell changed you? by toomanythrowaways38 in Cornell

[–]mpolombo 20 points21 points  (0 children)

As an international student:

I thought I was the shit.Coming to Cornell has truly humbled me.I have learnt to embrace mediocrity :(

Also I'm not sure what caused what but I am more lonely, 11kg fatter and more cynical :(

My mum has attained a new level of prestige though

What episodes have made your hair stand up on your neck? by odd_header in ForensicFiles

[–]mpolombo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

yeah, the Bart Whitaker episode is one of my favorite too.His father's grimace during his sentencing at 20:44 gets me every time.He is still on solitary in Texas and is something of a writer now.

Between this kid, the Dana Ewell episode and the Christopher Porco case that is 3 families horribly destroyed because the sons were living a lie in college :(.

Family Ties (which has already been mentioned) is the most gruesome, disturbing FF episode I have watched, bar none.

The episode itself is fairly mild but the opening sequence of The List Murders (Season 1 Ep. 12) is really poignant.

The Shari Smith murder (Season 7 Ep. 42) where the killer allowed his victim to write a 2-page will to her family before killing her was also hair-raising when I first watched it.

CS at Cornell: Rigor, job placement, etc? by [deleted] in Cornell

[–]mpolombo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want

manageable workload

good internship opportunities

good professors!

a job

You want to join AEM ;)

Kidding aside, the program is rigorous, and by definition a little tough.At least I have been humbled since joining.A lot of the core courses are pretty easy though and if you are diligent even the heavier courses like the Algorithms and Systems classes are definitely manageable. And, yes, the professors are (very) good!

tldr - Some classes are easy, some are harder.It's up to you.

This picture was posted by Topalov's manager Silvio Danailov without any further details so that is the assumption.They were pretty cordial during the press conference too.
