It's funny that the only reason I went with ZenniOptical not because it was cheap, but because Eyeconic had screwed up my order. When they screwed up my order I ranted about it and figured someone in the chain screwed up. Eye Doctor, Doctor's receiptionist, Eyeconic's agent who called the Eye Doctor for prescription, middle men in between and then lab. They are expensive glasses!

Since I have no transparency, I decided to go and buy a kit to measure my eye sight to figure out if the parameters my doctor gav...

https://medium.com/@iwaninzurich/why-software-engineers-dont-get-jobs-three-horror-stories-77fd1ae3b875 - This post was written by a recruiter who knows his shit. This is the kind of recruiter to hire.

First Horror-Story in that post was that the "Candidate rejected because of 'wrong' framework." Lol, terrible interviewer. What is "wrong" about using different tools to do your work. Was it enforced that the interviewee use a specific framework? What made it wrong?

Interviewer says "over-engineered" code, but ...

I've been building an application in Svelte/Sapper that I will release in the near future. Given my previous postings of Svelte/Sapper and use of Svelte for the blog and other applications, I think I can say I am a fanatic. Ok, maybe more of a very very eager user of excellent software.

With that a way, no software is deemed unworthy of critique yet. Let's talk about that.

Layout. This is a Sapper router feature. There is a _layout.svelte file used in Sapper that is included in all routes. I personally think ...

I've been working on tthe UI part of the application I've been creating for myself for now that will eventually be released for public consumption. I've used many applications on desktop and they always have a button to edit. It is a great thing that the UI has a apparent indicator for when things are editable and the indicator is interactive.

One of the central components of my UI is a table/grid. I was wondering how I could best go about editing. Inline editing was a given, but how does one get to show th...

I find this primary thing very important. It is compatibility with existing Javascript libraries without having to rewrite them into a svelte-* library. This is the biggest reason why I do not find React usable. React is very alien. I've been converting my React sites into Svelte and I cannot say I enjoy the transition.

jQuery can be included so that existing jQuery libraries can be used. This is great.

Why rewrite things that already work just to make them work with a framework? Svelte lives to its promise ...

Wtf? NoooooOOOoooOOOoo!

Reddit's toxic Rust community strikes down a popular Rust library.

Yes, the maintainer of Actix has quit the open source realm, well, because of the Rust communities' shitstorms over the use of unsafe. "unsafe shitstorm" is hilarious.

"Ahhhhhh, U R USIN UNSAFE. Remove dis shit."

"Plss no... it iz badness. U r a bad Rust dev. Dun use Rust. Not welcome here."

I don't follow meta, but resignations like this and the responses are indicative of where Stack Exchange is going because of bad management.

You can see where I told you so here: https://www.normansoven.com/post/stackoverflows-handling-of-monica-cellio-situation-is-bad-management

The great moderator exodus, which is opportunity.

Good management is open minded and knows how to make sure to keep a situation defused. Adequate explanations do not require justification.

Bad management is closed minded and shows it by making assumptions before knowing what is going on blowing up the situation. Justifying bullshit is terrible management and sows distrust in its own ranks and community.

Root cause: Experience

It is a night and day difference between experienced and inexperienced people. Training helps people get up to speed, policies help to ...

Wow, just off the heels of bad management from Stack Overflow. Now we have the United States attacking a government official (General Soleimani) of a sovereign nation (Iran) in another sovereign nation's (Iraq) international airport. WTF?

That's war. Iran is unified (WOW, days after being split) and crying for war. This is some Call of Duty level shit. You'd never think this would happen outside of a game or movie.

It really does not matter how the terrible the people killed in an airstrike were what matters ...

Escalated to a lawsuit because they don't know how to use their site and resolve without lawyers. Hell they don't even listen to their community past the vitrol. There are plenty of reasonable responses (unlike the VS Code SantaGate). It is hilarious that they needed to defend against one of their own unpaid moderators who broke no guidelines. Great example of stumbling under your own feet.

They offered her a way to a...
