Pressing/swiping "back" on iOS/Safari loads another article but doesn't actually go back. Amazing


It's because the other article was written by the first one for half the price.


Hey, sorry that I am not answering your question, but where did you learn frontend? I am in IT but wish to learn such things from scratch like react, css and so on.


I learned the basics of HTML and CSS from 'HTML and CSS: Design and Build Websites' by Jon Duckett, that was enough knowledge for me to build websites with it and look up the rest on MDN as I go. I learned JavaScript from 'JavaScript: The Good Parts' by Douglas Crackford, and figured out the new ES6 changes in a day by reading a few articles online (I already had previous programming experience so learning JS wasn't too hard). I learned Sass, Bootstrap, BEM, etc. mostly by reading the official documentation. And lastly I learned React and Redux from the most popular course on React & Redux at Udemy. I also created a GitHub and committed code there everyday, I made a personal website and hosted it on GitHub Pages and I made two small 'proof-of-concept' React app, so that I had something to show to my potential employers. That was enough for me to land a junior front end job.

I understand that's only the path I've taken and there are multiple ways to get there. Good luck.


care to show us as reference your github account projects mr?


Haiku is an amazing project. I just wished they had like a shop to purchase t-shirts, stickers, plushies and whatnot like the FSF. I'd buy in an instant, and it probably would be great for their donation goals.



That's awesome! But I wish it was more visible in the website, I couldn't find it at first glance


I just got a sticker, but I think you guys could improve on the work, I see potential with the logo and variants, and a mascot would be very cool. Just saying, well done merchandising sells well. Good luck!


Are there any devices that can detect the presence of another electrical device? So that it could scan places. This is scary, imagine renting a place only to know the owner has put cams all over. Stuff of nightmares.


In theory yes¹, but in practice I would expect it to be a tricky time-consuming process. How would you differentiate between a legitimate electronic device on the other of the wall, and an illegitimate electronic device embedded inside the wall? The difference between those may only be a few inches.

I don't think this is one of those problems looking for a technical solution. What's needed is a legal/social solution: an aggressive campaign for publicly identifying and shaming perpetrators, with very harsh punishments handed out.

¹ From what I know traditional "bug detectors" work by trying to induce the bug to broadcast and then detecting that broadcast signal. But "metal detector" style bug detectors that instead simply look for circuits seem like they should be possible.


A more plausible solution is putting all that NSA deep packet inspection infrastructure to use tracing uploads of the banned videos, and even that isn't very plausible.

As long as there is a fairly safe market for the videos, people will keep being violated on a large scale.


can i replace aspirin with something else?


Ibuprofen, like aspirin is a nsaid. So it should have similar effect when combined with acetomeniphin (Tylenol). In fact, acetomeniphin, ibuprofen is also commonly prescribed together. And some studies have shown it to be as or more effective than opiods like oxycodone for certain types of pain.


Well sure, but then you won't have an Excedrin equivalent.

This guy studied signal processing.


Maybe because your native language has roots in Latin? I know Spanish and Portuguese, and reading Latin gives me a familiar feeling.


Even English is considered rooted in Latin because it borrows like 70% the vocabulary from French - although the original Germanic structure was kept.


Whats up with the emojis prepending the commit messages? Is that automated?


Not automated, I do it manually when writing the commit messages according to https://github.com/dannyfritz/commit-message-emoji


As much as I hate the excessive use of cutesy emoji, I can't help but be drawn to this kind of thing.

Of course, you could also just write out the prefix "Bugfix: ", "Security fix: ", etc. Less internationalized, but no table lookup required.

It also would not be hard to write a plug-in for whatever text editor, or your shell, that generates these.

If you do use these, you ought to include this link in your readme so that people know what the heck the emoji mean.


Original author already said it wasn’t automated, but just recently I did find gitmoji which does exactly that. :-)

It tells what type of commit it is (a bug fix, a test related change, etc). Its not automated.


Loved his Coursera "Machine Learning" course. A good mix of maths and intuition.


FWIW I didn't like it that much. I learned much more from reading about it and then trying to code things.

I do understand that his course also gets you to code yourself, but they give you "helper functions" that obviously won't be there when actually making something, so I'd rather write those myself.


What books or articles did you read? I found his course to be a little boring.
