@tjholowaychuk @ThomasBem Sleep is important, but that book is riddled with errors. This might relieve some of your anxiety: guzey.com/books/why-we-s…

.@slatestarcodex is an extraordinary, massive, persistent force of nature, like Jupiter’s Great Red Spot or something. Read his decade in review and be gobsmacked: slatestarcodex.com/2020/01/08/wha…

@patio11 Counterpoint, later the same day 😂: twitter.com/rich0H/status/…

I know we like to downplay BigCo’s ability to ship software that works, and I know it took them 20 years, but I was able to book international flights for four people in under five minutes on Delta today. Never thought I’d be able to say that.

@ebroder Haven’t tried it yet, but tillerhq.com looks promising.

@padolsey I was recently doing something similar. You can also use Object.create as an equivalent to creating a new object with __proto__. Incidentally, this led me to discover a bug in typescript (now fixed!): github.com/microsoft/Type…

Yea!

The fact that you cannot use `super` with `Object.assign()` is super painful. Does JS need native syntax for Object assignment so that `[[HomeObject]]` works correctly? I think so.

@garybernhardt Not sure how effective it is, but @getsentry has a "Filter out errors known to be caused by browser extensions" option under Project Settings -> Inbound Filters.

@SeaRyanC c.f. epic disclaimers at github.com/microsoft/Type…. "STOP DEBATING SEMANTICS IMMEDIATELY"

@SeaRyanC +1. One option: use codenames. Document the mapping from "Foo" to "blocked", but preface it with disclaimers about avoiding semantic debates, etc.

I sort of want to label our bugs with severity for tracking/sorting purposes, but I also don't want to get into endless one-off semantic debates about whether someone can be "blocked" by a refactoring not being available. Thoughts?

@danluu A crazy example from my Plaxo days of the convicted murderer who was repeatedly, incorrectly, cited as being a cofounder of Plaxo: therealmccrea.com/2015/01/21/min…

@danluu Related, periodic reminder to beware of citogenesis: xkcd.com/978/

Dunning-Kruger applied to Dunning-Kruger, research on happiness, and type safety: danluu.com/dunning-kruger/

Periodic reminder that many (most?) citations are bogus. This happens to be about the claim that 3.5 hours/day of deliberate practice is the right amount, but I find this level of accuracy when I check most citations: acesounderglass.com/2019/06/21/epi…

@kentcdodds @malfaitrobin @roelvangils @YvesHanoulle This doesn't work for me (and others, e.g. #issuecomment-323229752" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/npm/npm/issues…). What version of macOS are you guys using? Anyone successfully do it on Mojave?

@malfaitrobin @roelvangils @YvesHanoulle I'm aliasing that thing!

Does your Mac becomes slow/unresponsive (fans kicking in etc.) when you `npm install` a huge project with a million tiny dependencies? I learned that adding an empty `.metadata_never_index` in /node_modules *beforehand* will prevent Spotlight from indexing all that crap.

@patio11 Great writeup! A typo: "$2.26 in net interest" should say "2.26% in net interest" (unless you've found an investment that turns one dollar into $2.26 in a year :P)

There's a genre of HN comments I never want to have to make again about discount brokerages and retail investors so I wrote the consolidated omnibus version to copy/pasta into future discussions about it: kalzumeus.com/2019/6/26/how-…

Fun fact: it's written in C++. This has its pros and its cons, but one thing is for sure: it's *fast*. Speed gets neglected in comparables like TypeScript, to their detriment: twitter.com/garybernhardt/…

Congrats to my former team for shipping and open-sourcing this. In my (biased) opinion it's a must-have for writing Ruby at scale.

@michaelvillar Polite horns FTW: digitaltrends.com/cars/polite-ca…

While we’re at it. Let’s remove horns from electric cars 🙏

@AdrianDuong 2/2 So, overall, worth the tradeoff IMO (especially with how convenient it is when you enable auto copying the 2FA code to the clipboard when you autofill your password)

@AdrianDuong 1/2 That's true, but there are still some benefits, and the fact that you're using a password manager (and therefore stronger passwords) somewhat compensates for the extra risk. Some good analysis at security.stackexchange.com/questions/1941…

Password managers these days support storing TOTP codes, which seems convenient. If your password (manager) is your 1st factor, is it not now your 2nd factor as well?
