If you're thrilled by Charlie Kirk getting shot, but silent (or even defensive!) of the mentally ill man who murdered the Ukrainian refugee, you are an evil person. Physical violence needs to be condemned, and murderers should not be defended. Without those basics, were just a lawless society

Do you know if there's a way to make it sort arrays that aren't immediately followed by `.includes`? Seems like that's the one thing missing

Don't know anyone that honestly finds copilot comparable to windsurf or cursor.

I think some of the pushback against hybrid is that a quarterly onsite is a different "hybrid" compared to "3 days/week in office"

Lance Jeffers @lancejeffers.bsky.social · 06/06/2025

Amazon Chime had the best UX here IMO: it would just display a "join" popup on your desktop at the meeting start time. Always preferred it over a reminder before the meeting actually began

Lance Jeffers @lancejeffers.bsky.social · 28/05/2025

I think twitter and bluesky have segregated themselves pretty heavily, to the point that certain beliefs are totally fine on twitter but evoke hate and outrage on bsky. Same applies in reverse for other topics

Lance Jeffers @lancejeffers.bsky.social · 08/05/2025

I'm kinda surprised electron does badly here considering it's basically a web browser. I feel like browsers generally have better a11y than almost any other software?

Lance Jeffers @lancejeffers.bsky.social · 07/05/2025

First law is extremely well done

Lance Jeffers @lancejeffers.bsky.social · 29/04/2025

Does trpc work in the situation mentioned above? The backend isn't written in TS

You're not truly geezermaxxing until you ramble endlessly at a cashier during checkout

Don't have an answer, but why does this crash the TS runner? Isn't importing a JS file into a TS file syntactically valid?

Hue bulbs (or anything programmatic) are great for this. One bulb, but can schedule different temperatures

This is why any% is so ridiculous. Tariffs-and-trade-war got banned from the glitchless run 90 years ago

Lance Jeffers @lancejeffers.bsky.social · 03/04/2025

Do you have any resources for the "websites that don't work without JavaScript" bit? I looked briefly on Google but it's still not clear to me why that would be something for devs to plan around outside of cases where the JS fails to load because of a network issue

Lance Jeffers @lancejeffers.bsky.social · 30/03/2025

Other than Embrace it's damn near impossible to find good mo11y these days

Lance Jeffers @lancejeffers.bsky.social · 20/03/2025

Yeah I assume the issue here is accessing `request.query.target` in an "unsafe" manner, although I'm not too familiar with Fastify

BG3 is great, I still play it weekly with some friends. If you don't "save scum" then I think it really plays out similar to a DnD campaign, where you can get into a ton of unintended (but hilarious) hijinks because of a bad roll

Classy move, you love to see it

Lance Jeffers @lancejeffers.bsky.social · 10/02/2025

Wonder if this is just a monorepo thing. Seems like pnpm is the most popular option for monorepos, and none of the package managers seem to get everything 100% right in monorepos

Feels like every frontend project has a `.screen-reader-only` class name in their css, which is definitely an indicator that it should just be part of the language itself

Lance Jeffers @lancejeffers.bsky.social · 02/02/2025

Always been one of my least favorite things about JS (and most programming languages I think?) -- snake case is clearly more readable and has research to back that up. But it also makes no sense to use snake case when the standard lib for a language is primarily camelCase 🥲

Lance Jeffers @lancejeffers.bsky.social · 31/01/2025

Not just you, the git status has been extremely sluggish for me for the past few months

Lance Jeffers @lancejeffers.bsky.social · 30/01/2025

I've always just done a BFS with a Queue for this problem. Agree that trees are one of the friendlier DSA questions

Lance Jeffers @lancejeffers.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

Realistically the feed here has definitely gotten more political, and it's heavily slanted in a single political direction. Doesn't help that no matter how much you click "show less like this" the feed doesn't really seem to change much

Lance Jeffers @lancejeffers.bsky.social · 28/01/2025

Definitely would've gone with a simple DFS approach, but the dynamic programming is clever and better in terms of Big O for sure. Have you been encountering many DP problems while interviewing? I was under the impression they're rare but I haven't interviewed in a while

Lance Jeffers @lancejeffers.bsky.social · 20/01/2025

Think it depends on the domain. Systems programming seems to have plenty of uses for it, but I've never had to use one when building the FE for a web app

Lance Jeffers @lancejeffers.bsky.social · 16/01/2025

Sounds like the type of person to blame the lack of referral on "woke"

Lance Jeffers @lancejeffers.bsky.social · 06/01/2025

Their web app does this on initial load every single time for me. X engineering really setting a high bar 😂

Lance Jeffers @lancejeffers.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

The first 3 books are so damn good

Lance Jeffers @lancejeffers.bsky.social · 03/01/2025

Yeah I was worried it would be obscure issues like that. No way I could justify Tauri in an enterprise setting, but I'm sure it's great for small teams that are accustomed to tracking down cross platform issues

Lance Jeffers @lancejeffers.bsky.social · 02/01/2025

The inconsistent behavior across Mac/win/Linux has been my biggest hangup with Tauri. Any particularly nasty issues related to that which you've bumped into?

Have you found any good resources on auth for local first apps? Seems like the one piece where you'd still want to rely on a traditional server-first model

I also know a little gray cat that likes to stretch the definition of "I fits"

Short hair cat with gray fur sits inside slim shoebox. The cat doesn't fit very well in the box

Would legitimately be 10x easier than most of the Leetcode hards that get thrown around in interviews

Frankly he was a complete liability that game. Consistently got cooked by the offense

Lance Jeffers @lancejeffers.bsky.social · 27/12/2024

Seems like a classic case of "unknown unknowns". Folks don't realize how deep the URL parsing hole goes until they've already dug themselves into some problems

The GoDaddy ssl hustle has always felt scummy considering it costs them next to nothing. Thankfully, many other providers support Lets Encrypt

Create armies of accounts -> post seemingly legitimate content -> once the accounts are "aged", use them to post scams and/or disinformation
