Never read again? These can’t be modified, but they can be read. After all, it’d be pretty useless to store data on a medium than can never be read.

I agree! I don’t think 3?”stuff”:”empty” should work at all because I think it’s an insane way to type a ternary :) I’m also very open to admitting that it’s just my own strongly worded opinion.

I think that in most cases, syntactically significant whitespace is a horrible idea - the one exception being that you should have space between operators/identifiers/etc. I don’t care how much, and 4 spaces should have no more special meaning than 1, but I do think that using a space to indicate “this thing is a different thing than the thing before it” is important.

Personally, I think that if you’d rather write foo?a:b than foo ? a : b, you’re probably insane

Mostly agree. I’m ok with single characters in a one line / single expression lambda, but that’s the only time I’m ok with it.

Building microchips is really hard and Taiwan has held a practical monopoly on the industry for a while now. It’s not that the US doesn’t have educated workers, but it wouldn’t surprise me that it is hard to find many qualified to build the actual facilities to manufacture microchips - most of the US’s involvement in microchips has been designing them and then handing those designs over to Taiwan for manufacturing.

Yeah, and those blood suckers are the richest assholes out there

But didn’t you know? The poor cops are scared! Why would they check if a suspect is armed when they can just kill them and say they thought they were in danger?

By necessity, when you’re in the debugger your code has already been compiled either way, no? Or am I missing something here?

This isn’t executing your code as you’re writing it (though it does support Edit & Continue), this is preemptively executing the next lines in your code when you’re already paused in the debugger - which means it’s been compiled and already running.

What are they going to do if they don’t pay? Evict them?

The Odin Project is an excellent resource. I’d recommend working your way through both the “paths” they have - take both the Ruby and JavaScript paths. To land a job you’ll want a thorough understanding of the back end and while Ruby doesn’t have as high of a demand anymore, I do think it’s important to build skills in more than one language to be a compelling candidate. If you don’t want to take the Ruby course, I’d recommend learning how to build a back end in C#/Java to make yourself more well rounded.

They also recently released a React course - I haven’t checked that out yet, but it’s a highly marketable skill and the rest of their curriculum is great so I’d imagine that is too.

In any case, they do a great job in teaching you how to “think like a developer” instead of just how to follow a tutorial- which should give you a good foundation for building your own portfolio. TOP played a huge role in landing my first job - but you do need to hold yourself accountable to studying every day if you want to succeed through self-studying.

It depends what you’re using them for, but it’s pretty common to use the original icons of other services/companies if you’re using them on your website rather than a stylized version.

In my experience, anyways, that’s more common than using a stylized version of a 3rd party logo - and that’s not to mention potential legal issues with using an altered version of a 3rd party’s icon.

That should get you running locally. If you’re familiar with React, you should feel right at home. In either case, the Inferno docs should help you out a lot.

You’re correct that it’s transpiled into minified JS, but the source is in human-friendly TypeScript. The transpilation is handled automatically for you by Yarn.
