I'm suspicious of any article that's widely slated by a community yet still trending. I feel there's a market need for a browser plugin that lets you filter out clickbait factories like his employers and all the dirty tricks

Babel has to turn it into valid JS for it to work so you'd still have the 'and' and 'or' functions. In the bottom right corner of Hzoo's example you can see what I mean ( http://astexplorer.net/#

To solve the readability issue, why not use Babel to transpile JS expressions into the equivalent syntax? To generate the first example in the readme: import {solve} from 'logic' function father(x,y) { return x ==&#

Something that is true of a group he is a part of isn't necessarily true of him. However, if he did want to change parties over this he'd have to drop out of mainstream politics entirely.

If you're a small-time programmer unless you move to SV, what does it mean to be 'big' in programming?

Looks like a good article but the url violates the same origin policy and as a result it render images. Readers will get a better looking page if they knock the 's' out of https until the owner can fix it

Let's draw a distinction between registered users and active users. Browser games have notoriously high inactivity rates. Many - perhaps most - create accounts, play once and never return. This doesn't include the number of users who have m

I like the boxes but it desperately needs immediately visible results.

There's a problem with box 2. If the IOException is thrown in the stream's constructor (FileNotFoundException) then there will be a NullPointerException if we try to call close! InputStream in = null; try { in = new FileInputS

I noticed another problem is that the highlighter will select the language name as well as the term which means <?php and (c) Copyright are shown instead of the actual mistake. I put together a GitHub Illiteracy Index script https://gi

Well observed, but I think we need to tell apart cases where performance is mandatory and where it is optional. People wouldn't just complain if it was mandatory, it simply wouldn't be a viable product.

I think the point is that there's something intrinsically verifiable about a mathematical model since you're dealing with quantifiable output. Other cases I can think of are systems where high-throughput or low latency are major requirement

"We work in an environment where hearsay and taste drive change instead of studies and models. We are stumbling in the dark." I completely agree. Programming became a lot less fun once I entered industry and realised most decisions are driv

It looks like someone had fun! Native parsing of markup and SQL looks like a neat idea (reminds me of Facebook's XHP plus LINQ) but I'm concerned about using the JVM. Does this use a .NET style multithreading model instead of using one proc

Maybe, or perhaps it's just been done badly before. ZeroMQ's bindings are an example of it done well. I find the API is almost identical if I switch between Python, PHP and Erlang and I never feel like any of these implementations feel out

Weather forecasts are a more optimal way of knowing the future than looking at the sky. These incremental improvements might not mean much by themselves, but in aggregate, they've meant the human race has come very far.
