I've never dry fasted and never would. It sounds like a terrible idea. I try to drink at least three liters of water per day while fasting.

I used to live in Europe and have also lived in many parts of the US. Just trying to understand, since I didn't notice much visible difference other than wind power. I'm from a rural area in the US, and it was a great place. I hav

I think it's more likely that other countries will adopt similar data protection rules (and they should).

The transition period will be difficult for some people, but I think that GDPR will probably be good for the world in the long-term. New companies will start building their systems correctly from the beginning, and, ideally, the law won&#x2

Facebook's use of software is completely different than a product of Facebook that targets programmers. Companies release open-source libraries because they benefit the companies.

I've been experimenting with water fasting, intermittent fasting, and calorie restriction for over two years with good results. I gradually went from an "obese" BMI to normal, and reduced the symptoms of some medical conditio

As far as I know, they aren't a sponsor of the project -- they own the project (as opposed to something like Cassandra). Companies release these libraries because they benefit the companies. The successes of projects like React help Fa

It takes time. Everyone who considers these issues should speak up.

There are alternatives to React too, like Vue.

That doesn't really address the issue that the use of Facebook's software supports Facebook. The industry needs to pay more attention to the long-term results of its choices and actions.

If it were going to be forked, then it would already have been forked. The unethical nature of Facebook is not well-hidden.

by JoshMnem 8y ago
My point is more about ethics in tech than a specific language. I expected downvotes, but wish that the industry were different.

Using Facebook's software supports Facebook. I think the industry should move away from that instead of adopting more of their technology. Programmers should start considering these things. Alternatives: Elm, Purescript, etc. Edit: I r

I think it needs some customization for full-time use too. Example: you can toggle comments with things like `:norm i// ` and `:norm 03x`, but with nerdcommenter, you just type `gc` or `gcu`, which requires less attention.

Tabs are great for organizing groups of related files. They are different from other editors that only let you have one file per tab. With Vim you could split a tab with a frontend HTML and CSS file, and have a couple of backend files in an

The Wikipedia editing process is broken. Wiki-lawyering is used to shut down the collaborative editing process, even when not on political topics often by people who don't know much about the topic that they are editing. I don't t

Google AMP is terrible for many reasons. Server side has an idea on how things are supposed to be rendered for content-based documents. Games and complex apps need JS, but readable documents don't. Not everything should be "an app

It's something though, and the rest of the world is following the US in many ways. As electric dryers increase with the population and development in places like Asia and Africa, the numbers will increase.
