   I've been dwelling on this idea of readability vs comprehensibility for quite a while now, working on front-end projects in Javascript. Everyone seems to be using the airbnb style guide for their projects now, and whenever I look throu

   Because it's anti-consumer and it stifles innovation. It's the same problem with console exclusives. It allows a company to release an inferior hardware product and crush the market by using other people's software offerings,

   How does this differ from any other file hosted on the web? I could make an address that just serves a .exe file, but people wouldn't say that Microsoft is kneecapping the web because of it.

   Can you elaborate on the environmental impact? I've heard so many vegans say this but I've never seen a proper explanation of it. How can eating meat have a negative environmental impact when humans are natural omnivores? It seems

   Does anyone know if it was specifically the community/userbase that enticed Google, or was there some technical aspects to YouTube that Google couldn't or didn't want to build themselves?

   I think that was a joke about the classic HL2 bug that lets you teleport NPCs from waypoint to waypoint during their scripted cutscenes to get through them faster.

   I disabled my ad-blocker, and they gave me an "ad-light" version of the site for 30 days. Their "ad-light" version (that people can actually choose to pay for) displays more ads than most sites, and the entire site lags

   Meanwhile in Javascript land, if your code is a year old you're already running out of prospective hires that are familiar enough with the language to maintain it haha.

   This is one thing I find a little bit frustrating with the tutorials of various JS tools. They fail to accurately describe a problem that they solve. Usually you just get a quick paragraph going on about what you can do with the tool, then

    Can you elaborate? The design is modular. Reusability of styles is implicit in the re-use of components, it's not like you duplicate styles all over the place (or at all). In my experience maintenance changes have been easier, since it

    > And using JavaScript to do the things CSS is meant for is just a terrible idea. That's very strong wording, and I couldn't disagree more. I've added in-line styles into my React workflow for several projects and couldn&#

    I'm so glad we imported this style of politics to Australia. It's lovely watching our government openly and boldly torch tens of billions of dollars on our Internet infrastructure and condemn our economic prospects for decades sim

    Honestly I think when communities become large, it's the moderates who lose. I'm regularly downvoted into oblivion and most of my opinions are moderate-left. It doesn't matter how much you support Sanders, try pointing out th

    No, you shouldn't. Wages aren't a hierarchy, they're supply and demand. The only reason why someone earning 150k would have to justify their wage to someone earning 50k is if the person earning 50k wasn't afforded the sa

    When he says "the algorithm is given just the pixels", does that mean it's not given any information about the game itself, like the objective? How does it know how to measure it's own success?

    One thing that a lot of people who haven't been unemployed seem to not recognize is that it's really, really, REALLY boring. I've tried the whole "sit on my ass ripping bongs for 16 hours a day every day" thing and

    COBOL and Fortran usage more than triples Rust and Go usage. Just to put things in perspective a bit further.

    Don't start with a full stack, it can be overwhelming. Start with a minimal toolkit and only add stuff when you actually run into pain points that it can solve. This guide is a good one: https://github.com/petehunt&#x2F
