I left my Citroen to my mom, and my stepfather has calculated that a light bulb costs 3€, having the light bulb mounted by the mechanic costs 5€ ( including the bulb ), so to save up 2€ he decided ( with good cause ) that he will never replace the bulb himself cause it's extremely infuriating.

I did manage to replace those bulbs myself, and it's ridiculous, it has some sort of spring to hold it in place that is extremely hard to open with your fingers, and even harder to close. And on top of that you can't even see it, you have to take first pictures with your phone, understand how it works and then go entirely by tactic feedback

I have a 2009 Citroen and the battery is secured with a bolt that is under the battery compartment and to access it you need to go under the car with a very long wrench, who engineered it is a psycho

Agree it would be nice if people would stop posting "help! how can I fix this?" and "I fixed it by doing X", they were valid comments at the beginning, but now more than half of the comments are just these two

It may simply be Github and NPM going nuclear and just flagging everything just in case

From how is unfolding the most probable outcome is that one of the maintainer is compromised ( Ponya ), all of the packages he contributed to have been marked

The advisory says all the versions are affected ">= 0"

Also if all the versions are affected this malware is in stylus since 2010. Honestly, it sounds improbable to me that a malware exists unnoticed in open source software for 15 years. However, even if improbable it's better to play safe and just override the installation of stylus ( especially if you are not using it ) with an empty package until more information is released

This advisory is pointing to the stylus package

https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-fh4q-jc76-r59p

I'm still unsure if it's a mistake on NPM side or if stylus and the authors are compromised

The current AI generation has an additional pain point compared to the bad coworker, it's unable to learn, you can give it a rule file but it doesn't always respect it properly and it doesn't update it itself. TLDR: the bad colleague will stop making the same mistake in the PRs the AI no

Hopefully this will change in future generations of AI

I have noticed that putting bananas in the fridge has a weird effect, the peel turns black like if it's outside, but the inside of the banana stays yellow and hard. It is very weird to peel a full black banana and find the inside normal without any browning

You can visualize it easily if you think about your own vision.

If you put an hand in from of your face ( without covering your eyes ) you will be able to see behind it even if both eyes see only a part of what is behind your hand.

Now regarding the video imagine that each pixel is an eye, and they are spreaded evenly along a circle.

There are a lot of differences between this example and what he actually did, but it should be very easy to visualize ( main difference I can think of is how much amplification he needed to do so each eye is almost blind )

This is my second live coding, it is something I started doing two days ago as a way to show my skills and create a portfolio.

I didn't share the first one because was honestly too terrible, but I think this one didn't go as bad as the first one, there's for sure a lot of room for improvement and I will be happy to hear feedback from this community, both positive and negative

I did apply to around 30 job openings, and the market at the moment is 31 job openings. I did not try to contact people working in the companies I applied for, I have the bad feeling it would make things worst

Yes, I plan to interact with the public. I got the idea of a live streaming during a coding interview, I believe they would feel similar

I do agree that job postings asking for personal projects are a little bit over the top.

The main problem with building products is the idea, the spark, honestly I can't see at the moment a product that people need, or even less, a product that I would need

I must disagree with your comment, I don't think re-creating React ( without looking at the source code ) makes you the React guy, the skills to be a good React developer, and the skills to be a developer that can create a framework like React I believe are not the same.

I think by creating a React-like framework what I will showcase is a deep understanding of the inner workings of the browser ( for optimization), the inner workings of React, and a good knowledge of languages and tools used to create this framework.

It is to showcase, I see it as a long-term project, I don't expect I make a video today and get hired tomorrow, my expectations are lower, more "I make a video a week, in a year I have enough to showcase ( and maybe a following )"

Yes I do agree that managers and target audience don't overlap, but also I don't think it's people learning React, but more people curious about inner workings of React
