This is not the mindset that people who achieve anything have. It's a defeatist attitude. Many people have, to use the saying, had it all, and many have fought past roadblocks to get there. People who let life wash over them never get

I vehemently disagree with the idea that returning from a function often is bad and that it should be used "sparingly". I find that code that returns as early as possible is the best. The idea of a nearly mandatory single return p

Has JS had a rough few years? There's been big advances like React and TypeScript. ES6 was a big improvement. JavaScript finally has lexical scoping. It's better than ever. The frameworks exist for a reason, as much as it's p

This just goes to show that if someone publishes any learning resource, people will shower the author with praise regardless of the quality, or even trying the resource out. We do not need yet another JavaScript learning resource, we have g

Talent exists, and is very real. [0] Talent is immensely important, and I find that there's a growing movement to dismiss it and pretend it's all about hard work. Most people can get pretty good at a particular task if they dedica

I think it's questionable to group machine learning in with "game AI". Most "game AI" isn't "real" AI at all, in any meaningful sense, so I think the term should be put out of use, it removes a usef

It seems like there's a vendetta against Facebook here. The term "mixed results" is used why? Everything they're doing is completely voluntary. NYT somehow managed to paint Facebook alerting the police about a possible s

No, I do not think that a company reporting suicide attempts or messages that appear to indicate an immediate desire for suicide is creepy. This is not just a thing Facebook does, either. This is not "Orwellian". And the keyword i

If Visual Studio Code, which is open source software I use daily and have not audited, tells me to update and I lose something of value to me from it, I'm going to be furious. You can debate about the "real value" of Bitcoin

I don't believe that you have 2,000 Bitcoin. Nobody that interested in Bitcoin would even think of using blockchain.info to hold a fraction of that much. I don't even like, use, or think Bitcoin is useful, and even I'd know b

Checking the time, news, see if there's any messages you should respond to, see if there's a reminder, checking your calendar. It's not a sign of addiction to check your phone the second you wake up.

Another "small government" conservative mouthpiece arguing for breaking up tech companies that disagree with their political opinions. I think the other reasons they give are merely nominal, and not what they care about the most.
