I agree that having a "can't modify this object" via this reference is useful and that JavaScript doesn't have it. TypeScript has it with `ReadOnly<T>` It could be worse. You could be in python that has no const wh

I suspect they spent several millions of dollars a year and at least 20-30 people if not more and I think you don't have any idea of how hard the problem is and how it's getting harder all the time. It's going to get even har

How about reframing to "Is spam getting harder to filter?" No one at google wants spam.

> That brings me to something I really want in JS, actual unmutable values. If you use `const x = new SomeClass()`, you cannot reassign it, but you can change fields. The first time I encountered `const`, I thought it did the opposite. I

and yet looking through code from the place you work I see something like this let field = ve.instanceContext.replace(/(#\/)|(#)/ig, "").replace(/\//g, ".") Which you apparently cla

I agree that (1) named intermediate values are sometimes more readable ... though I have examples where it's very hard to come up with names and not sure it helped (2) debugging is easier. For (2) though, this IMO is a problem with the

I don't consider ASCII simple because it needs to be parsed (more than a binary format). As sample example, a binary format could be as simple as struct Header { uint32 width; uint32 height; } struct Image {

I had my car stolen from an apartment complex garage in like 1991. Sure it sucks to have my car stolen but the only irreplaceable thing was 36 mix tapes that were in the car. Guess that's an issue that no longer exists :P

I forgot where I heard this but "It's impossible to remember what it was like not to know something". This generally means all kinds of things are obvious to someone that knows a topic. They're so obvious they're in

For me Spotlight fails constantly. I don't know what's tripping it up but programs I use often it randomly decides "today I'm not going to find those for you". I have it set to only show programs and nothing else so

Honestly, I don't consider PNG a simple format. The CRC and the compression are non-trivial. If you're using a new language that doesn't have those features built in and/or you don't have a reasonable amount of prog

1000 square feet is only small in the USA. 1000 sqft is the average size of a home in Japan. 50% are smaller. There's plenty of creative ways to use 1000 sqft

I believe the reason there's no if/else is because CSS is supposed to be easy enough to interpret relatively quickly (in a finite amount of time). The moment you add if/else you'd up with a full programming language and

Yes, I did consider that. That's exactly my point. He stated he hates (A) and likes (B). I suggested that hating (A) is a poor POV. It would be better to like both (A) and (B) even if you prefer (B). Let's put it another way. If s

He did call it crap or did you miss it? In so many words he said cities suck, nature rocks. Vs me, who said both nature and cities rock, and that the attitude that one sucks is a poor attitude

They have opinions. One is nature rules. The other is the city sucks. I think their opinion of that the city sucks is wrong, full stop, and that a change in attitude would see all the great things a city provides that nature does not so tha

Hey, if being in nature makes you happy good for you but your outlook on the rest is kind of crap. Me, best time in my life, commuting in Tokyo to my jobs working on a project I loved with people I loved. All the ads on the trains were eye

Is it true there are plenty of places in the world that don't have an epidemic of obesity? My belief is Japan doesn't have as much of an obesity problem. Sure, I'd love a drug that lets me eat more calories and not get fat bu

Correct, but the form itself was always a fixed layout, designed for desktop, not a responsive layout where things changed based on the size of the user's display and the input methods available to them

It's not the "like" button. It's the "likes" number. Hide the number and the like button is signal to the system. So "likes" and it's a signal to the poster. That IMO is the problem, not the butt

I agree with you. I ran into that issue once. Of course I knew map takes a function that it passes value, index, array, I just forgot for a moment. It would arguably be better to have different functions for those. Very tangentially related

The typical response is being in these jobs changes you so that when you have the money you no longer have any meaning. You have a passion, you put it on hold for 10-20yrs for $$$, you come out the other end having lost your passion Further
