It also shoots lasers, runs from the gpu and is in the cloud Edit: despite i made myself giggle, I realize this comment is disrespectful to the hard work the ava team put in. I will stand by it though because I believe its to the benefit of

I think them building it in rust is a good thing. But rust is a mozilla project so its not as though theyre doing people favors. What it certainly does is showcase the strength of the language considering they have proven to be so badass

Facebook is not for me. Msybe its because most of mine freinds are party people. I feel very isolated. I rarely go on it and I find github the only social network I really care about. I feel as though its not really that social though since

Ok, so the simple example you gave is very abstract. Alice and bob may have a great time talking on the phone but I felt no closer to understanding its purpose. I do understand the purpose in requesting a resource from Alice that has no ip

You define nature? I believe nature is defined by action which is intepreted after the fact or predicted before. Naturally we can also see a community such as hacker news has an effect on the wider population but likely not as strong of one

Do you want to live in a centralized world or one with competition? How do you support that? I personally want to live in competition. I support that through allowing my appetites to lead me when making arbitrary choices rather than ceremon

Very similar to lazy js[1]. Perhaps its of interest to you to get involved in that or pull some of their work [1] http://danieltao.com/lazy.js/

I want to contribute to this but there are a few things holding me back. - usage of global instead of commonjs or es6 modues - using an uncommon build system makes me uncomfortable - _.can instead of prototype or just object creation - I ca

Im left to question what ubers motive was. No use of a U. Not simular to any logo in the past. Logo easily can be confused with other applications. I dont think uber had ill will but I dont think they thought this through aside from "r

Successful in what regard? Financially? artistically? It was completed? A critical internet community criticized it? Successful is a very broad term. You may be correct, i just have no way to prove you are

If your looking for es5 promises are much easier to polyfill and much more competitive than generators

This product may die, however I believe competition and the fire to get what you want is more valuable than king making through bad reviews (whether intentional or unintentional). Tbh, Im not going to look at the product because Im more int

oracle is the only comparison I can remotely relate to what this individual is talking about. But heres the issue: - githubs customer isnt opensource projects, its closed source. The masses moving away is a good thing - as dependency on git

I would argue we need more analysis tools for testing. Top programmers arguably just work the hardest, test the most and often focus on speed over readability. Being able to test something is much better imo - grade school - list manipulati

I appreciate this sentiment. Correct me if Im wrong but you are implying, if an individual understands how to command something or do a task, they have a realization of how the bigger picture works to some extent. I agree with this from a p

I would argue some important concepts to understand are. - programming is commanding a machine to do what they want. - computers speak a non-english language so everything they write is translated before the machine follows it - a machine i

In defense of github, they can create whatever culture they desire. Same with npm and every other company out there. If they succeed, they will be seen as a company who took ethics and equality very seriously. If they don't theyll be s

This is different though. Javascript is something that all of us are, in one way or another, exposed to. Giant companies building an ecommerce platform, startups making fun and innovative spas, designers adding a bit of animation and adapti

Again, I agree. Picture this: mocha gives testing globals, browser offers the window and dom, node offers process arguments. Coming from a partial teachers perspective (well, I wasnt hired to teach but I did talk to the students alot) gulp

Honestly, nationalism is a bit refreshing. By immigration what you then are implying white business individuals and/or non-japanese otaku would only be able to afford or figure out a way. If you are thinking of poorer individuals. Why?

I think there is a discussion to be had about supply, demand, capability, filtering and communication. Im personally fine with the unnecessary whos hiring since I ignore them. I also believe that y combinator has every incentive to enable t

I selfishly want more people like you in the javascript ecosystem. I had a debate with a freind if mine about gulp. My argument is that all of these tools are useless since they can be done without them. If only certian tasks should be run,

When implementing overloaded functions, explicitly defining an interface would allow for much easier debugging than testing it afterwards. Running tests (that can take up to seconds sometimes) is far less efficient than seeing the problem n

Wasm may make this useless, but this is pretty exciting. After working with a Emscripten module recently I can tell you debugging it is a pain. Wrappers around internal functions. Destroying objects after you are done with them. Memory leak
