Yes, I am. It might be clever but it's unintuitive and as a consequence developers (even otherwise experienced ones) who have not yet mastered AngularJS will write the kind of mess that is painful to clean up later. This is more or les

If you don't think that the AngularJS API is Vietnam then I don't think I'd be able to change your mind regarding this.

In my experience as a system gets more and more complicated it is typically the interfaces between various things (e.g. integration) that become problematic. While the number of logic bugs increase linearly with the size of the system, inte

Right, if this gets in then I officially demand that the much more innocent ternary operator and prefix/postfix increment/decrement operators get in as well.

String interpolation is magic because it's not entirely obvious when it happens, what scope rules are followed, if there are any side effects, if the original string is overwritten or whether a new instance is created, what happens whe

I wish they didn't! Magic features like this belong to magic languages like Ruby. Go is not meant to be a magic language.

No offence to HMRC staff but I'm not sure if I really trust the Civil Service to decide what "generates clear public benefits" and if there are "robust safeguards in place"!

I find it interesting how insightful, technical articles like this receive hardly any comments while the usual "softer" articles that tend to dominate the Hacker News frontpage these days receive dozens if not hundreds of comments

The kind of near-instant, cheap money transfer provided by the Faster Payments Service system in the UK is actually fairly uncommon elsewhere in the world. If PayPal still used BACS it would take 3 working days even in the UK for PayPal pay

I deal with 3 tax agencies every year. I submit my personal and my business's tax returns to the British HMRC as that's where I live. I deal with my home country's (Hungary) tax agency too for various, boring reasons. And, ul

This is not how the US immigration system works. America issues two types of visas: immigrant and non-immigrant visas. The "green card" in question is, in fact, the end product an immigrant spousal visa (IR1 and CR1). There is als

This is why PostgreSQL is awesome. You can freely mix relational with non-relational (object) storage depending on your needs.

Words like "deserve" or "fair" are simply not part of the vocabulary when it comes to immigration. For example, while I am not a US citizen, my wife is which means that once I inevitably give in and agree to move to the

Someone has explained it here a couple of years ago that VCs generally view them as failures as they have investment pools with lifetimes of 7-10 years and each pool is expected to yield something like a 10x profit at the end of the period.

Not relevant since PostgreSQL 9.3 as PostgreSQL now uses Posix shared memory / mmap rather that System V.

It's difficult to argue with this article. I can count on one hand the number of times non-trivial class hierarchies (that is, more more than 2-3 classes) made my life easer and every time that was the case I writing a compiler or a co

Well it definitely won't be bloggers and armchair investigators who figure it out. Unfounded speculation is irresponsible and immature behaviour the very least.

I don't think this is really the case. First, I don't think Apple regards iTunes as anything else but means to sell more Apple devices. They make some money on it but it's still negligible compared to hardware profits. Second

I mean I don't know much about ATM operations but why would you ever base an ATM on Windows? I mean Windows has it's strengths but surely it's quite possibly the most inappropriate operating system to run an ATM.
