I've tried several times and I agree, it's boring to me. But a lot of people use it daily and see real progress.

Re:Angular 9.0 on Friday February 07, 2020 @10:46AM (#22267053)
If you can write the app you need with "modules, web components, promises, and async/await" then you never needed Angular to begin with. And that's a good thing, frameworks/libraries are never the answer to everything and are a decision to be weighed carefully.

Are you suggesting that angular apps written in 2014 would not still be working?

I wouldn't say that, it's still debated whether it's correct or not.

Compatibility mode would be like coding for IE7. Not IE11's fault :D
Is there some joke I'm not getting? querySelector has worked on IE since version 8.

Is this the bootcamp version of the famous Dropbox HN quote?

I only partially agree with you. I also prefer learning with books and online courses but that's not everybody's case.

Some people benefit much more from a structured process where they can ask questions easily, be tested much more often and gauge their progress over time.

It's absolutely not. Most of my friends put a picture. I'm in tech and I don't but that's a personal choice.
And I agree with you.
I intended for that question to be rhetorical. What I don't understand is why that formula is seriously used in arguments.
Re:A Walk in Hong Kong on Friday August 16, 2019 @07:04AM (#20713917)
My bad, didn't realise there were so many stations shut down.

I travelled without any hassles on those days so I assumed just a couple of main stations were closed.

> During Paris protest earlier this year the gov would just shut down public transports for about 5~10 km around

10km is nearly Paris' width so I'd say that's a bit much. If I remember correctly, they closed the main stations around the protests but not much more.

Has the creepiness formula been somewhat accepted officially? I often see people using it to define the creepiness of a relationship, something I find very weird.
You could have just refrained from posting.
Re:My Last Macbook Pro on Wednesday July 17, 2019 @08:10AM (#20458547)
And my XPS 13 9350 (2015) has display problems.

My screen stopped working for a week and started working again for absolutely no reason.

It's a known problem : https://www.dell.com/community/XPS/XPS-13-9350-Black-Screen/

And none of the mentioned fixes worked more than a day for me.

I bought it full price. It's perfect for the usage I have: comics and youtube.

But I wouldn't try anything else on it, wouldn't want it to explode.

I love reading these kind of stories about Japanese companies. I hope there are more and more of these as the current work culture over there is pretty depressing to me.
I had exactly those same problems.

I used it with a group of friends but one of them often didn't receive our replies.
