I've got some insight into this (Several friends, now multi-millionaires ran and flipped tens of sites like this) They're mostly written by low paid content writers in 3rd world countries such as Vietnam and the Philippines. Primarily to drive affiliate traffic to Amazon and other retailers with affiliate schemes. They all operate on a similar format - 10 items with good reviews, write 300 words about each product, rinse, repeat, profit.

Does anyone have any good references/examples of taking some OOP code and converting it to functional code? Even a trivial example of OOP inheritance such as Vehicle -> Car(Vehicle) -> SportsCar(Car) with a few methods & attributes (accelerate, brake, current_speed) etc..

Sanic is great. Been using it at work and it's solid

I can understand people using text editors (a la Vim, Emacs) if they've been using them for donkeys years and are extremely proficient and productive with them, additionally for making quick changes to files from the terminal.

However, why any developer would reach for one of these tools now when working on application development is beyond me (other than to feel like a 1337 OG hax0r of course)

Power tools > hand tools

Pretty sure I read this would only apply to US based users

No, but the exclusive intent has been made clear with the title "Netflix for black people".

Feels like some kind of "Outrage marketing" strategy, I mean, look how this thread has blown up over the last hour. I'm sure the OP is smart and knew what they were doing when wording this post.

Yeah it really helps. I rotate through a few different spots throughout the week (3 coffee shops, 2 workspaces and my gym clubhouse) I find it helpful to change scenery and be around other people, albeit the majority of them I don't know.

For me there's something about being in a place with others that keeps me concentrated and focused on the tasks at hand, breaking up the monotony of working from the same room at home every day.

I try to have very regular calls with my team and arrange days to meet and work together from a location we can all get to with relative ease, along with full team meet ups at least every month.

RE lack of motivation, I think it's more of a company culture issue rather than WFH itself.

- Same predictable working environment every day

- Feeling disconnected from my company and team

- Lack of physical/ face to face human interaction

- Reduced motivation

- Lack of spontaneous opportunities to meet new people, learn from others and socialise

I try to work from (SE) a different environment at least 3-4 days a week (Coffee shop, shared workspace etc, I head there after I've had lunch) and it really makes a difference for me - The small price of a couple of filer coffee's is definitely worth it.

Losing fat without any attempt to track calories in vs calories out is like trying to improve the performance of an algotighm without profiling it or tracking how the changes made affect the outcome.

If you’re serious about losing fat, it’s essential helps to track the calories you eat, calories you burn, macro nutrient split (carbs, fats, proteins) and your weight.

- Calculate your TDEE (Total daily energy expenditure, also known as `maintenance calories`) There are many online calculators to do this - Calculate your daily calorie intake to lose weight (Subtract 15-20% from your `maintenance calories`) - Decide on a rough macro nutrient split (40% protein, 40% carb, 20% fat is a good place to start) - Track the calories you eat and burn. There are apps for this that make it very easy (myfitnesspal is one example) - Weigh yourself regularly and record it (Daily is better, first thing in the morning, without clothes and after any restroom activity) - If you’re not losing weight, increase your daily exercise or reduce your calories by a further 5% until you see your weight going down - Note: A healthy weight loss strategy is to aim to lose 1-2 lbs per week

You can absolutely loose fat without doing any of this but it’s 100x harder and will take much longer.

+1 for Code, fantastic book especially for self taught developers

The only real use case I see for this is for anyone working from an under powered machine who needs to run _really_ resource heavy web apps. If your working in tech, chances are you're running with at least 16gb ram and a half decent CPU. I'm sure there's some edge cases where this _could_ be useful, but certainly not at that price point.

Can you install Chrome extensions? Does it support things like adblock? What are some concrete use cases and examples of who this is for?

The marketing talks about the ability to have more tabs open... In my experience, once you go beyond about 25 tabs (15" mbp) they basically become impossible to mentally manage.

Maybe rather than having 50+ chrome tabs open, people need to learn how to manage resources on their machines.
