I rarely get great ideas while scrolling, no matter what I'm scrolling. The brain seems to go in standby mode. I get brilliant ideas in the shower, or taking a walk, or staring out a window. The brain needs whitespace to fuel the imagination.

Laws of #UX: “Users spend most of their time on other sites. This means that users prefer your site to work the same way as all the other sites they already know.” [lawsofux.com][twitter.com]

of course you guys don’t care but i have finally dragged my Blog out of Angular JS [songhayblog.azurewebsites.net] => @Meligy@megafunkmega@taraw@Bizmonger@bradlygreen@brandontroberts@Odytrice [issues: [github.com]] [twitter.com]

Nice work! ✋🏿 [twitter.com]

@brandontroberts Thanks, man! It means a lot coming from a master!

“Upgrade to Angular 6 — Within 15 Minutes” by Jeroenouw [medium.com]

.@angular 6 Breaking Changes: [youtu.be][twitter.com]

the only @code HTML-related formatters of note [under [marketplace.visualstudio.com]] is Beautify by HookyQR [[marketplace.visualstudio.com]] and AB HTML Formatter by Anton Burov [[marketplace.visualstudio.com]] —one has too many features and the other almost none [twitter.com]

i thought i was being clever by using the formatter in XML Tools by Josh Johnson (for XHTML) [[marketplace.visualstudio.com]] but it also has limited options/settings and will not be @angular/HTML5 friendly

@BryanWilhite I use [jsonformatter.org]

Beautify: “VS Code uses js-beautify internally, but it lacks the ability to modify the style you wish to use.” [twitter.com]

GraphQL Guides [developer.github.com][twitter.com]

many of the GraphQL videos are helpful in some subset of concern; this video by @bswinnerton of @github is the best introduction to the entire technology i have seen so far—also would like to see the @davewiner reaction to GraphQL as this has some RSS-ness here and there🤠

the foundational feature of REST is defining a resource that can return a result pointing to other resources---the downside is the cost of making multiple requests: GraphQL eliminates this cost

Wow. What a treatise. Inspired. “the Origins of Opera and the Future of Programming” by @jessitron[the-composition.com]

Whenever I see “empathize” as a step in a process, I think “Boy, I can’t wait until that step is done so we never have to think about those people again.” I don’t think empathize is a step. It’s never done. [twitter.com]

After yesterday's training session with @brandewinder I now see why F# is a really good fit for Machine Learning and why its really inefficient to use a language like C# to do ML. #MachineLearning#fsharp

In real code, extracting or stripping the last k characters with slicing uses variables rather than constants, so the actual problematic code is either s[:-k] or s[-k:]. Both of those require special handling for the case where k is zero.

Detecting Liskov Substitution Principle Violations with Code Contracts by Arkadiusz Kaɫkus [codeproject.com][twitter.com]

test discovery in @code will only work for the first Project in a Workspace; i ignorantly assume that someone else has already made this a @github issue => @pvlakshm [but a couple of @code extensions do not support workspaces properly] [twitter.com]

“More concisely Contracts are not a replacement for Tests and vice-versa: both should be practiced seriously.” [codebetter.com][twitter.com]

Code Contracts are not a replacement for testing—rather, it improves testing: “Code contracts include classes for marking your code, a static analyzer for compile-time analysis, and a runtime analyzer.” [docs.microsoft.com][twitter.com]

This happens all the time. It’s happened to me more than once. And is why I get furious when people say, oh we want more diversity but there just aren’t any women / people of color / etc doing great work. YES THERE ARE. WORK IS BEING STOLEN / ONLY CREDITED TO CERTAIN PEOPLE. [twitter.com]

For many reasons, women are afraid to apply to jobs they don't meet all reqs for. Studies have shown men OTOH will consider applying with only 60% reqs met. Women are taught to feel inadequate unless perfect. But we are just as good, if not better, than other applicants. [twitter.com]

.@SimonDeDeo: Google and Facebook, and other corporate research labs, are focused on AI for profit, not on advancing science. Oversimplified, offensive, but also thought provoking [bit.ly]
