yes! it's the worst!

I've been using Instant Space Switcher (which got a small callout in tfa) as a targeted fix for this, and it's lifechanging

if you're interested in this kind of thing, The Mexican Runner beat every NES game (over 700 of them [1]) including such gems as Miracle Piano Teaching System, which took 91 hours to beat and required him to become quite proficient at actual piano playing [2]

i see a lot of people doing this, and especially if theyre shallow clones, its really not a big deal

and anyway git-worktree is basically this workflow wrapped in nicer UX

the publisher says

>In 1997, Werner Herzog was in Tokyo to direct an opera. His hosts asked him, Whom would you like to meet? He replied instantly: Hiroo Onoda. Onoda was a former solider famous for having quixotically defended an island in the Philippines for decades after World War II, unaware the fighting was over. Herzog and Onoda developed an instant rapport and would meet many times, talking for hours and together unraveling the story of Onoda’s long war.

i know nothing about this beyond watching food network - i dont even know the meaning of discipline in a kitchen - but can someone explain why it has to be so tough?

why do they work for such long hours in such shitty conditions for such poor pay? for the love? and what makes it so impossible for a good kitchen to work 8 hour shifts with a lunch break?

it doesn't seem like it gets any cushier late career either, so you aren't really working towards much except status.

Seems like you could make about as much over the course of a career working at a wal mart and have much better hours and health coverage to go along with it

serious question, no disrespect intended

there's already a very popular react (cljs) framework called reframe

Re:Goodbye PNaCl, Hello WebAssembly on Tuesday May 30, 2017 @05:43PM (#14448783)
As a web developer working primarily in JS, what should I be learning now to stay relevant/up-to-date once WebAssembly is more common? Are we going to see more web stuff built with c++, like the dsp example in this blog post?
Re:Is Clojure dying, and what has Ruby got to do with it? on Thursday May 25, 2017 @03:55PM (#14419699)
I'll plug Parinfer as the best tool I've found for removing the pain of editing s-expressions. It's done wonders for my own workflow, and there's almost nothing to learn before you can use it effectively (compare to Paredit which requires you to know quite a few shortcuts before becoming productive)

I almost never have to think about the parentheses while editing, any more than I would braces in a c-like language. It's really freeing. It's also fully integrated into Cursive so there isn't even a setup step if you're using that already.

https://shaunlebron.github.io/parinfer/

I haven't gotten a chance to try it yet (would be interested in hearing from anyone who has), but there is a Chrome devtools fork called Dirac that is targeted at natively debugging clojurescript.

https://github.com/binaryage/dirac

(this is with two filters: "Los Angeles" and "la")
One quick thing I noticed, some HTML made its way into filtered results, ie:

QA Engineer $100k - $110k + equity, Backend Engineer $110k - $130k + Equity | Replicated | lass="highlighted" style="background-color: #eea776">Los Angeles | https://www.replicated.com

FWIW, I think word formats are most desired by recruiters because they can be easily edited to ie. remove your name and add skills the recruiter thinks will get it recognized. I'm pretty sure word formats are pretty unamenable to parsing, aren't they?

For a React implementation, look no further than react-virtualized (https://github.com/bvaughn/react-virtualized). Performant, great featureset, and one of the most accessible, responsive maintainers I've ever seen in an open source project.

Used it last month to build a new gaming pc -- amazing site. I was really impressed with the amount of useful data you guys have managed to collect, and the thoughtful UX. I've recommended it to several friends since then. Thanks!
yeah -- perhaps there's a lot of negative things to be said about node, but the fact that they've released multiple versions? really?

Author here-- really happy that people are finding this useful. I wrote it a few months ago when frustration with the way Chrome logged objects led me into their docs and I found a bunch of cool stuff I hadn't seen before.
Re:Highlight.js – Syntax highlighting for the Web on Friday February 20, 2015 @07:33PM (#9084059)
Just reading out of my notes, the only non-highlighting detector I was looking at was https://github.com/blakeembrey/node-language-detect, but it's not widely used or developed as far as i can tell.

If you have Ruby in your stack, it's easy -- use github's own https://github.com/github/linguist

You might also be able to use just the language definition files from https://github.com/syntaxhighlighter

Re:Highlight.js – Syntax highlighting for the Web on Friday February 20, 2015 @03:30PM (#9082811)
Used this in a project[0] a little while ago and found it really easy to work with. The syntax detection was an added bonus that I had expected to need another library for.

edit: I should mention that this might be a cool example for someone looking to use hljs in React/Flux-- I tried to make it fairly clean. There's a github link on the bottom-left of the website.
