terenceng2010 | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: Any scientifically proven techniques to boost concentration?

Some moderate physical exercises do help but I also find that cooking helps me to be more relaxed after a day of coding work. Maybe because it needs a totally differnt kind of focus like chopping and much more (actual)hands-on which mean my coding brain can be shutdown afterwards.

Able to contribute to ML is already better than many of us, so congrats and don't downplay it.

As a general rule of thumb, I would say just be yourself, be good to others in general and there's no rush for it (some people would choose to like or not like you, and it's totally fine). It takes time (~10+ year) to be mature.

When I was your age, I have no clue too other than just finishing my first public exam. I happened to work for a community center to promote the usage of Internet as a summer job. That job transforms me to be more confident in front of people as I need to face people in different walk of lives. It's a good starting point as I can use my computer skill as a stepping stone.

I probably won't pick CS as my undergrad study if I haven't used dreamweaver to create website for my classmate when I was just 12 years old (hand-type html, css is a bit much for me that time. And Dw allows your to set hyperlink, an on hover event easily, js is hard to grasp for me that time ) .

So I always think it's good to have a low barrier for people to get in.

terenceng2010 | 4 years ago | on: The digital natives are not who you think they are

I kind of miss the day when everyone is chatting on the phone and ICQ, MSN and you need to be in a certain time for certain people. Nowadays, my brother who is a digital native just chat with his friends all day long with Discord, which is something that I just can never do.

Try to get into a role that needs to gather user requirements or doing some system design or coordinate your team member(scrum master) maybe? No job is 100% engaging all the time though and I think if your current work env. is stable, figuring out some new interests are a way too.

I use dapper with a plugin called dapper.simplecrud (https://github.com/ericdc1/Dapper.SimpleCRUD). This already helps to reduce the need to write simple SQL code repeatedly quite a lot. When doing SQL operations more complicated than a simple crud, I resort to raw SQL or stored procedure.

In the article though he does not mention whether React with SSR is an option?

Some professions like teacher are tough to find a similar role in other country. Different qualication, teaching language and teaching method they have to accomendate. It's a tough call to them.

For IT profession though, it's more flexible. Personally, I have worked in a multi-nation develop team, and the experience is good.

Try to go passport.com nowadays. It redirects you to Bing and search "passport" as result. Handy.

Some speculates it's just the first wave to ban worldwide social networks like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube.

terenceng2010 | 5 years ago | on: Hong Kong: books by pro-democracy activists disappear from library shelves

It's worth to mention that some of these books have been published quite some years already (>5 years) , and their viewpoint for democracy is rather mild too. That's why they can be on the bookshelf in the first place.

The race map seem only keep the race start and current boat position. It would be better if the whole historical locations of the boat are kept and drawn on the map. Otherwise, nice!

terenceng2010 | 5 years ago | on: U.K. Plans Citizenship for Hong Kong Residents in Row with China

Maybe the exploit is about:

The nationality of HongKonger was the same as other UK citizen at the time called CUKC. For other UK ex-colony, they usually had a independent election to be an independent country or so, and these countries do not have the UK nationality anymore. But HKers never had such election taken place.

terenceng2010 | 6 years ago | on: What I wish I knew about React

But if one would lile to write in jsx, which is the default in react, the doc still guide you to use a preprocessor for production.

terenceng2010 | 6 years ago | on: What I wish I knew about React

Done that. My manager finds it so good when he can hot-fix issue.

Just that some third party plugins are written in es6, it would be cumbersome if you need to support ie11 in a enterprise setting.

Also if you have quite a lot of vue components to load, it would take longer time than compile first with webpack in http1.

It can be DIYed. https://diymask.site/ Not perfect but any protection would be good.

There is a specific requirement to trigger that. Not sure whether desktop and Android Firefox is using the same criteria though. (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30661650/how-does-firefo...)

edit: the article does not have <p> tag. so reader view is not triggered.

I miss fireworks so much as a middle school student. With it and dreamweaver, I can create website for my class before I learn any programming at all. They are so easy to use!
