Well, that's perfectly true. Litterature however seems to show most people who want to die actually just want to stop suffering. They simply don't see, or believe in, any other way than ending their lives. Case in point, someone I

There used to be dozens of episodes, and I started listing to them a week ago. They were quite fascinating, but... now only three remain. Any idea where the others can be found? And why are they gone?

Well, I don't know about you, but sometimes I'm on a 3G network. Yes, I could wait to get home. But some people also have really terribly bad providers offering them very little bandwidth. So, by doing this, you make sure your con

Marketplaces aren't that easy. Supply (developers) wants to be where there is demand. Demand (consumers) is wherever it is and sometimes follows (some) of the supply. In our case, the demand being consumers, they are friction-averse a

I do not work there. It seems to be pretty much what a friend and I spent a year and a half of our lives trying to build, with pretty limited programming experience, so I hope you'll find it as interesting as we do.

Yes, it did. But it also had a couple billion years of trial and error to do so. Basically, it's the infinite monkey theorem.

Zenly already does something similar with location permissions, and their app isn't even side-loaded. They'll simply annoy you to hell and not let you use the app until you've granted permanent location permissions.

People assuming things doesn't mean there is a pact, explicit or otherwise. Isn't the whole idea of a social contract (which is what you describe, right?) of any kind debatable and really unprovable? Couldn't one say it s

Honestly, this is more about philosophy than anything else, and a part of philosophy much more rooted in personal beliefs and preferences than actual facts. It is deeply subjective, and as such any notion of correctness is moot .

The terms haven't changed, but their enforcement has evolved recently. That's the merit of having vague enough rules; you change the interpretation over time without changing officially changing the terms. Also, said enforcement i

Was the first lambda waiting on the second's result before returning? If so, you really shouldn't rely on synchronously invoking à lambda from within another lambda. Also, things stored in the global scope (in Node.js functions) a
