shitty XLR? what's wrong with XLR?

Interesting, I've done something similar for headaches. I imagine the pain as a sort of toy in a claw machine and then try to extract the pain with the claw. Like you said it doesn't always work but surprised it has ever worked.

Not spending time on HN.

You are almost 60 - you should be close to retirement. It would be way more impressive if you were 35.

Your H&M example isn't great. The reason you didn't wear it a lot isn't because of the quality, but because you bought a shirt you didn't like. Save your money and only buy clothing you like.

Would you mind giving some examples of how not knowing about transcendental functions and conic sections would make someone have a hard time with life?

The problem of people on Tinder swiping right to a photo he doesn't want them to swipe right on.

Then perhaps you shouldn't have that picture in your profile at all and you won't run into that problem.

If you picked up Scala, I'm going to assume you're interested in functional programming. In which case you should check out the book Functional Programming in Scala. Describes a bit more advanced functional programming ideas using Scala

Big fan of sleeperbot, especially the weekly sleeper report. Had no clue it was developed using RN

You can write code with pencil and paper

This is just an assumption, but maybe it is because your comment had no relevance to the topic at hand.

Both Chrome and Firefox use a star icon as a shortcut to bookmark a page. I find it more surprising that you don't think people still bookmark websites. What do you use to remember links to pages you might want to visit again in the future?

No there was no mention. Plus, Open ID Connect is built on top of OAuth, so I don't think the author is a big fan of connect either.

I'm willing to bet that it is a bit of both.

A bit unrelated... but I find it interesting that the same person who programmed this (csvoss on github) is also the developer of two other projects trending on HN right now.

Coincidence? Or is this just a slow hour on HN and good time to get submissions on front page?

Thats what this whole article is about. Older people usually have less ability to take a higher risk, due to family concerns, or other reasons. It is classic supply and demand. Younger programmers are more sought after, therefore demand higher pay.

I think you missed the point. I believe the idea is that there isn't One Editor To Rule Them All. You can try out new text editors, but in the end, just pick whichever one feels right for you, and move on.
