Which is amazing as well, by the way.


Sounds more like a bug than they just decided to hide the entire form from people who select Mexico...although I didn't bother to start the application process to verify that.


Well, I just checked now, and they have removed Mexico and the other non-participant countries from the list now.


They could just have a second badge like LinkedIn does for "influencer" or something of the like, that would convey the current benefits of the verification badge.


Good point, seems like a failure to decouple independent concepts. Bad design, bad implementation.


Seems par for the course for the company that's always mixed data and metadata.


Or like Facebook has with two different levels/color verification checkmarks. A gray check for verified business which doesn't mean much other than they verified a phone number, or a blue check for verified person/business/etc.. of greater importance.


Which would be subject to all the problems with the Verification checkmark...


Yes, but it would at least stop getting in the way of Twitter's usability like the current button does, they could verify all the celebrities and political activists that they haven't yet who people want them to, and then they could go bestowing perks on people they like, or pay them money.


Right, but the CEO of Reddit couldn't care less about that.


i'm not sure they should. perhaps they shouldn't.


In componentWillUnmount, set a var componentUnmounted true. In componentDidMount in the callback for the fetch, check for componentUnmounted before setting state for an error or whatever you want to do.


Set a variable... set a property in the component state? Or set a static variable on the class?


I use a static var on the class.

  componentDidMount() {
   if (!this.unmounted) ...
  }

  componentWillUnmount() {
   this.unmounted = true
  }


That's not a static car on the class. It's on the instance! A static class property would entail something like `Foo.unmounted = true` (a bad idea).


Flatiron was going around parading themselves as the only coding school to get their job statistics audited by a third party, so I don't necessarily blame the NYT for believing their claims.

Ironic that the only audited school is now the one having issues with misleading statistics.


Getting outraged over a paragraph detailing someone's professional accomplishments in their professional obituary...It's Intel's article on their former CEO's death, what's it supposed to do, detail his personal life?


An obituary should detail a man and /his/ life rather than his relationship to a company, I understand how some people think this is justifiable, but I also just find it grotesque in every way. I know nothing more about him than I did prior to reading, or whether he achieved any kind of satisfaction in his personal life, which I think is kinda the point of these things.

Quarterly OKRs for a millionaire? I really hope they weren't the entirety of his existence, otherwise we're all doomed


If you couldn't have managed that with $5.5Bn then why does an extra $20M help?


Maybe he's talking about when it got popular, not when it was literally invented...but I guess you can just be pedantic and miss the point.


The GP's interpretation was arguably uncharitable, but your reply was uncivil. When you have a good point, please don't use it to make the thread worse.


I was seeing frameworks in ColdFusion referencing MVC back around 2001.


Yeah, MVC was well known to the Visual C++ community in the 90s, and it was a well established concept among commercial (as opposed to academic) programmers even back then.
