> I cringe every time somebody says "Oh but Lyft treats drivers so much better than Uber, right?"
I'm somebody who genuinely thought this was the case. Would you mind elaborating?
SpaceX has one deployment target, how many do front-end devs have? :P
Not defending them here, but at a previous job I noticed them doing the same and asked why. Turned out when they updated the site to make the UI/UX faster they got calls to customer service from people saying that didn’t think it worked because “it went too fast”.
This is one reason I love Final:
https://getfinal.comSet up a separate card number for each site, and that way I don't have to worry if one site is compromised.

A previous place I worked did almost the same thing. There was an internal website they had built that everyone used for time entry. It authenticated via LDAP, so you didn't need a separate login for it. However, the password box on the page only permitted passwords of up to 10 characters, but it wouldn't notify you it would just truncate whatever you typed in. So if you had a Windows password longer than 10 characters, you couldn't enter your time.
Man, I must seriously have been unlucky in the places I've lived so far. Seriously never even heard of this being a thing until reading articles about Instacart and then Amazon Fresh, and thought "wow, wonder why nobody has done this before". Until this thread I still thought those were practically the only ones, and then only in like one or two cities.
I've lived in multiple states in the past 5-ish years. Nowhere I've lived has had this.
What plugin is that? Sounds like that'd actually come in pretty handy!
I've been trying to follow things pretty closely too, and to me it looks like that is (partially) the next step. Disclosure: I'm definitely a supporter, and think it's a cool project.
Right now it seems like the big things are building out the network and tools, to make the next stage easier. Their release schedule states that the next major release (what they call Metropolis) will happen when they have 1.0 stable release of the native wallet/browser. A couple of IDEs are also in the works, built to work with developing smart contracts for Ethereum. Even Microsoft has added Solidity (essentially a DSL for Ethereum, for those who don't know) support to the latest preview of Visual Studio.
Also, from everything I've been seeing so far is that the dev community forming around Ethereum is very passionate and is grow faster than most expected. If it continues at this pace, and the tools continue to improve with it, Ethereum could continue to become a very robust platform.
All this said, things could still not work out and the project could fail. I would hope it doesn't, because it really is a cool experiment thus far.
It works if you simply add "AM" or "PM" when you say the time.
Not sure, but I think checking "Prime Only" essentially accomplishes this because you can only get Prime shipping on items sold or fulfilled by Amazon. Obviously is only relevant to Prime users, but at least it's something.
Honestly, I think you're both correct. It's definitely dangerous to allow packages to be unpublished, but it can potentially be just as dangerous for people to blindly include a library without looking into a bit first.
First lesson learned is of course in regard to how package managers such as NPM should handle scenarios like this. However, I would also hope this might make some people take a harder look at their dependencies to see if everything they are referencing is both truly needed and trustworthy.
I'm also interested if there is some sort of test. I find myself doing many of these things when I read long passages.
One other thing that is very common for me, but I'm not sure if it is related to dyslexia or not, is that I will frequently either forget the next word I was about to say or say the wrong word without noticing. An example of the latter would be if I am filling the dishwasher I'll say that I finished the laundry, or I'll refer to shaving in the morning as mowing. These happen to me on an almost daily basis.
Dashlane looks really promising. Does anyone here have experience with it? Does it work as smoothly everywhere as LastPass did?
Most of this is to be expected, but the parts that are ridiculous is that your encryption key is backed up to OneDrive and:
"We will access, disclose and preserve personal data, including your content (such as the content of your emails, other private communications or files in private folders), when we have a good faith belief that doing so is necessary to protect our customers or enforce the terms governing the use of the services."
I've been in exactly the same boat, and am really glad a fix is here now!
As someone else said, copy/pasting from websites isn't going to help you learn anything. Likewise, looking up a solution to a problem isn't going to teach you how to solve that problem. You may think you learn the solution, but the only way you really learn it is to figure it out yourself. Try solving some problems and writing some programs while limiting yourself to only looking up specific questions. Questions about language syntax, or what functions are offered to do a certain task. This is easier accomplished when trying to break your Google addiction if you sit and think about the problem first. Sketch out your idea and maybe put down some basic pseudo code. After you think your model is fairly complete, start coding it. As you code it only look up documentation (such as JavaDoc) to find how to do what you outlined in your pseudo code. As you program it you will likely think of better ways to do things. Try to finish without looking up and solutions online, then review your code and debug it. Make sure your code works the way you expected it to and is as good as you can think of making it. Then, and only then, look up what a good, correct solution to the problem is. Now when you see the solution you will make connections to your code and how you can optimize it. Things will make more sense, start to fall into place, and you'll learn a lot more if you take this approach. It will be more frustrating at first, but in the end it will feel far more rewarding because you actually understand it.
